A Goat’s Night Out

I have heard of putting on the dog, putting on the Ritz, but never putting on the goat; but here it is, in an ad for goatskin gloves. The artist, Achille Lucien Mauzan (1883-1952), worked in Milan, Paris and Buenos Aires. During his career as an illustrator, printer and designer, Mauzan produced more than 2,000 posters and 1,000 postcards.

On the Naming of Goats


From one of my favorite blogs: “When my goats arrive in the spring, I have decided to name them after Civil War horses — I plan to start with two goats, they will be named Cincinnati and Traveller. The herd will grow from there perhaps with Highfly and Firefly . . . we’ll see.”
