A fair likeness
Back - see Charm
This page will ramble.
[27Sep20] In the early days of I&P, while working on the course extract and before I had applied for the course (which I am about to do at the time of writing), the phrase a fair likeness sprang to mind as a working title for the booklet I am likely to produce sampling my course work and forming the core of my assessment submission (here's C&N's).
The phrase is suitably maleable and ambiguous, and, pleasingly, that applies to the constituent words both individually and collectively.
I started looking for inexpensive books with likeness in the title as they might generate insights or unexpected quotes on the subject. On 24th August I bought a novel, A Likeness in Stone by J Wallis Martin and Modeling a Likeness in Clay by Daisy Grubbs.
One story I found but did not buy was a sci-fi classic, The Other Likeness by James H. Schmitz. I added this to my Amazon wishlist because I was struck by an edition in a particular cover (fig. 1) and wanted to buy that version.
I assumed the art was from a rotational diriviste of Rothko which I made a note to research. Something like it will appear in the book of the course and it may become a leitmotif.

Yesterday (26Sep20) I started writing about surrealism, which led on to George Melly, for whom a book search threw up an 1854 book by (presumably) another George Melly, School Experience of a Fag at a Private and Public School (fig. 3). Imagine my delight when I found an edition with the same cover as the Schmitz (fig.s 4-5). This was only slighly tempered when I learned that all HardPress publications seem to have this cover. I will try to buy one to see whether there is a credit for the cover image.
