A Mexican Blue Angel

Here is Der blaue Engel en espaniol, on the cover of an edition of Heinrich Mann's book published in Mexico in 1984, with a nicely re-drawn version of the iconic image of Marlene as naughty Lola sitting on a beer-barrel on stage, with top hat and garters. A recent acquisition, this isn't in The Ultimate Marlene Dietrich Souvenir & Memorabilia Book, but we have a section on The Blue Angel and on various interpretations of this famous image in particular.
