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?

This is not a gentleman, but it's v. pretty:

I found those using "punting" and then flipping through.

"Dorothy L Sayers Mysteries", "Gaudy Night" starring Edward Petherbridge & Harriet Walter.

The Beeb did the three "Peter & Harriet" stories from the Lord Peter Wimsey books in 2002. "Gaudy Night" is set in Oxford before WWII. It must have a young man lounging in flannels in it somewhere.

I tried to pop my copy in and find one to 'cap for you, but my DVD drive insists the disk I just put in there isn't there. (stupid machine!)

you need to find an image which you can license? or as a reference for a cover painting? or?
