Some Follow-Ups

Just a couple of follow-ups. The first is to my post about Tamara de Lempicka's paintings being used on the front of certain fascist screeds: well, here's another, forthcoming in Penguin Modern Classics.

Compare the originals with these variations I quickly knocked up.

Quickie alternatives:






What do you think?

UPDATE: Barnaby Hall himself has commented on this post with some very interesting information, and a link to a fascinating online exhibition of book cover design--for more details, see here.
