This poster features Valery Muller art of the 1572 St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, which occurred in France during the French Wars of Religion, during which Catholics across France murdered French Calvinist Protestants over a five day period after the wedding of the king's sister to Henry IV of France, including a mass killing in front of the Notre Dame cathedral. The poster has a title that translates to "The Queen's Girl" and has the name of the author of the article, Marie de Besneray, below it, along with inset images of Catherine de Medici, who was believed to have instigated the killings, after the murder of Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, who is pictured at lower right. So this poster has great art about the cover story in the December 9, 1916 edition, and we imagine it sold a lot of papers!
