Cover art hair tearing

[alex_beecroft]

Maybe it’s a case of ‘separated by a common language’ again, but how hard can it be to find a single decent picture of an Oxbridge young man in summer flannels (preferably lounging against a wall)?

I’m looking for something like this:

And I’ve tried Brideshead Revisited (as a sort of theme), Maurice (theme), EM Forster, Oxbridge punting, Oxbridge boating, 1930s style, flannel trousers, garden party, Ascot, Edwardian gentlemen, elegant men, themed weddings and even three men in a boat. And I’m getting pictures of gardens, ties, men in business suits and high tech yachts. Searching for ‘men in punts’ just gets me a do you mean ‘men in pants’?

So maybe I’m using the wrong terms. Anyone got any suggestions?

That does sound as though it would all be too much trouble, and yet still leave me on dodgy ground as far as copyright goes. I'll abandon that idea then. Particularly as yes, I only have the small picture, which would really not do in 300dpi.

I found a lovely picture on Flickr yesterday which I was sure was the one, licensed for Creative Commons use, but checking up on where he got it from revealed that he had no right to license it and the original cost $400. It's a nightmare!

I went into Cambridge at the weekend and took some photos of punters, so perhaps I can make something of those. Nil desperandum! I'm sure I'll come up with something, even if it's one of those ubiquitous naked torso pictures :) But I'll check out picnics first. Thanks!
