I looked up "Bildarchiv Preussischer" and found the site of the Bildarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz (the Visual Archive of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation), which unfortunately doesn't help me locate the original image as the archive contains more than 12 million images!<br /><br />Totally agree, <b>Kathy</b>!<br /><br />Thanks, <b>Staci</b>! The two Austen spin-off covers bother me less because they look so different.<br /><br /><b>Kathleen</b>, yes and yes (unfortunately).<br /><br /><b>Jenners</b>, I don't think the woman on these covers is Jane Austen, but I guess she must fit the period. (Note that the first book is not an Austen book, but takes place during her lifetime.)avisannschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486477882148877317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-80817126695767351022011-07-08T22:17:26.566-04:002011-07-08T22:17:26.566-04:00Is that actually Jane Austen?

The cover illustration is by Bildarchiv Preussischer, and the cover was designed by Monica Benalcazar.Sukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893742747135555499noreply@blogger.com
