Description

Sometimes bad cover art tips over into great. The jacket illustration by Maria Paz Garcia-Borron for this Spanish translation of Pride and Prejudice was never intended as a sincere representation of Lizzie Bennet, or even Lydia. Instead, consumers in 1973 would have recognized the pouty blond bombshell Brigitte Bardot as the book’s celebrity lure.
