Her face always makes me think of Margaret Thatcher, a scary figure in my childhood years - is it just me? :eek:
Maggie stripped nude, chained to a rock and abandoned? :confused:

So, is 'Louis Smith' a pseudonym for Sir Geoffrey Howe? :confused: :D

I don't see it. Maybe because I can't imagine Thatcher as young or attractive.
If she reminds me of anyone, it's Kate Hudson in Almost Famous.

Hi all,
Thanks to those of you who sent me a birthday wish a while back. After my holidays, I was very busy with studies and then also wanted to take something of a sabbatical, but I hope to be again more active here...
Here is already an illustration from Quo Vadis...
Where did you get that illustration from? Can you send me the complete book?

It's from what appears to be a Russian-produced 'luxury edition' of Alexander Dumas' works 'Actea' (for which that's an illustration, though apparently from an Italian-language edition) and 'Silvandir'.
It seems to be in the 'scarce' range in the book-trade, e.g.

I think it is rather an illustration from some edition of the novel Quo Vadis? by Henryk Sienkiewicz. It even contains a phrase in Spanish that Crispo, one of the characters in the novel, mentions before being crucified.
