My copy is the pouty Katherine. I have to admit that some of the other covers are quite funny! To be honest, I would probably have mistaken those for a cheesy romance novel rather than the treasure that it is. I find that a lot of the old covers have that sort of look to them, more Harlequin romance than HF, perhaps it was to draw a larger audience.
I am a more conservative book cover type and like the ladies or gentlemen to appear more like the era that the novel is about rather than sexy, glamorous models, but that's just me.

[quote=""Leyland""] Yay - I got the hang of it! OK, this one makes me think about a teen girl in a werewolf or vampire novel (guess which one), but not about the woman who rocked John of Gaunt's world. Would her shoulders have really been bare?[/quote]
This one looks more like the cover of one of Anne Rice's vampire chronicles

I suspect the model is his favourite muse, Jane Burden
I've just been reading a novel about Jane and her relationships with William Morris and Rosetti- Elizabeth Hickey, "The Wayward Muse"
Yep, it's Dante Gabriel Rosetti's 1872 painting, "Veronica Veronese"Isn't this one a famous portrait? I'm sure I've seen it before.
