Re: who made the Art?

["Robert G. Tuck Jr." <tuckr@digital.net>]

The text is Farsi (Persian), and the image is of the cover of an Iranian
publication. Farsi, which uses a modified Arabic script, reads from right to
left. Putting my fractured, fading Farsi to work, I've come up with the
following rough, tentative, line-by-line translation:

"Part 4"
"Special Paleontology [News]Letter"
"Journey to [the] Earth  / Third Year / Number 8 / Winter 1380 [Iranian
Islamic Solar Year]"
"On [the] Occasion [of] [the] Fifth International Month [of] [the] Dinosaur"

Remember, this is a *crude* rendering!
Incidentally, it's the first time I've seen the Persian word for "dinosaur"
in print (it's the final word on the page: "dah-een-ah-soor").
