I recall those Georgette Heyer jackets from my first job in Leicester Libraries, but probably disregarded them because I'd become hooked on Raymond Hawkey's jackets for early Len Deightons.

I have a couple of books that I bought on the strength of the dust jackets by him. <br /><br />One is a novel called 'Amberwell' by D E Stevenson, showing a country house with a view of an estuary with a lady and gentleman in Eighteenth Century dress walking on the lawn.<br />The other is more fun, it is 'The Loves of Florizel' by Philip Lindsay about the love life of the Prince Regent. The cover shows a half naked Prince Regent reclining accompanied by an attractive shepherdess with a view of the Brighton Pavilion in the background. I wonder if Gough had seen Rex Whistler's painting of the Prince Regent and a reclining lady who represents Brighton?<br /><br />Happy Hunting.
