Cover of the book Not So Quiet: Stepdaughters of War is a 1930 novel by British author Evadne Price writing under the pseudonym "Helen Zenna Smith". The image shows the cover of the novel Not So Quiet… by Helen Zenna Smith. The design uses a stark, graphic style in black and red on a cream background. At the top, the title is printed in large, bold, uneven lettering: “NOT SO QUIET…”, with quotation marks placed dramatically before and after. The central illustration is abstract and wartime-themed: a silhouetted rifle hangs from the left, and concentric red arcs radiate outward like shock waves or explosions. Near the bottom right, small black silhouettes suggest figures or shapes caught in the blast zone. The landscape at the bottom is a jagged black horizon, evoking a battlefield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_So_Quiet:_Stepdaughters_of_War#/media/File:Not_So_Quiet.jpg 2a1ccd805f1a74b1.jpg Lake George Reflection by Georgia O'Keeffe, oil on canvas 226ec585e174475d.jpg Illustration by Arthur Ferrier of Tommy and Tuppence from the December 1923 issue of The Grand Magazine and the first-known image of the characters. The drawing shows a stylish young couple in early-1920s fashion. Tommy stands on the left, dressed in a neat suit with a bow tie, his posture upright and confident. Tuppence stands beside him, slightly angled toward him, wearing a fashionable cloche hat and a long, elegant coat. Her expression is lively and self-assured. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_and_Tuppence#/media/File:T&T1923.jpg 0ebe0713b34a4b57.jpg The Secret of the Old Clock (1930) front cover. Russell H. Tandy (1891 – 1963) In the foreground, Nancy Drew is depicted as a young woman with short, wavy blond hair, wearing a stylish dress. She walks in the grass at twilight, holding an old-fashioned wooden clock and examining it intently, as if searching for a hidden clue. Behind her stands a dark forest. The sky is a deep blue. Bold yellow lettering displays the title at the top, with the author credit “Carolyn Keene” beneath. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_of_the_Old_Clock#/media/File:The_Secret_of_the_Old_Clock_(1930)_front_cover,_printing_1933B-14.jpg b69faca4007fe15d.jpg Anton Chekhov in 1893. Chekhov stands outdoors in front of a wooden structure with ornate balusters. He is dressed in a long, light-colored overcoat and a dark hat, with a full beard and a calm, direct expression. Surrounding him are bare branches and foliage, giving the scene a slightly austere atmosphere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Chekhov#/media/File:Chekhov_ht.jpg 567760c3b8d6e987.jpg Photograph of Selma Lagerlöf. b409b5ce3fed829b.jpg Antoine-Jean-Baptiste Thomas, Louis XVIII Receiving the Duc d’Angoulême on His Return from the Spanish Campaign, December 2, 1823. In this oil-on-canvas history painting King Louis XVIII, seated and visibly frail, warmly greets his nephew Louis Antoine, the victorious Duc d’Angoulême, just returned from commanding the French intervention in Spain. The duke stands proudly before him, dressed in full military uniform. Around them are key members of the Bourbon family: behind the duke is Marie-Thérèse Charlotte (“Madame Royale”), his wife, gazing up at him with admiration; to the left of the king stands Charles, Count of Artois (future Charles X), holding the young Duke of Bordeaux in his arms; nearby is the Duchess of Berry with her daughter. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Louis_XVIII_re%C3%A7oit_le_duc_d%27Angoul%C3%AAme_au_retour_de_la_guerre_d%27Espagne,_2_d%C3%A9cembre_1823.jpg a2bd7fc39d130562.jpg Self-portrait c.1885 by Winnaretta Singer. The painting shows a softly rendered figure seated indoors, holding an open dark-colored book. The person has short, curly hair adorned with small leafy shapes and gazes outward with a calm, slightly distant expression. She wears a green garment patterned with delicate floral motifs over a red collar. Behind her hangs a light curtain washed with warm pink and peach tones, through which daylight filters. To the side, a window reveals a bright, impressionistic garden scene in greens and yellows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnaretta_Singer#/media/File:Winnaretta_Singer10.jpg 2fb452d08a3aafa6.jpg
