We too are drifting

We Too Are Drifting front cover. Two women occupy most of the visual space. One is standing on the left of the image, her back to the reader, and seen from her calves up. She has blond, short hair and is wearing a white and red-stripped male pajama top with the sleeves rolled up to her forearms. Her legs are slightly spread, shoulder-width. Her gaze is directed downward from her right shoulder toward another woman sitting behind her, a brunette with her hair tied in a bun, neck-high. She is wearing a black negligee and is sitting on her folded legs with hands together between her thighs. She seems to have her eyes closed and, like the other woman, has her face wrapped in a shadow. A beam of warm light illuminates them both partly from the right of the image.

This too is love

This Too is Love front cover. A blonde sits on a white, carpeted floor, leaning on her left elbow, supported by a pile of cushions. She is barefoot, and her stilettos are seen next to the cushions along with a pack of cigarettes and an open matchbook. She wears a red, short, velvet dress with multi-row spaghetti straps. She faces the reader in a three-quarter angle towards the center-right of the image, and her knees are bent, legs and feet close together. Her left foot is raised from the heel, the toes touching her right heel. She holds a cigarette in her right hand, which arches over her right knee. Her chin rests on the back of her left hand. Her face faces the reader, but her slightly squinted eyes look toward her right, where another woman sits up from a lying position, stretched on a camel-back green sofa on the right side of her body. The woman is a brunette with hair to her nape and is dressed in a yellow blouse and brown capri pants. Her left arm is stretched over her left leg, and her torso is slightly lifted, resting on her right elbow. She looks straight at the blond with a half-smile. The scene is lit from the left, with the most light placed on the blonde.

So strange a love

Beside her, on her right and facing the reader, stands a brunette, partially covered by the redhead. Her wavy, loose hair flips over her shoulders, and she is looking at the redhead with half-open eyes. Her torso, too, is naked.

My name is Sappho

My Name is Sappho front cover. The scene is outdoors, at and around a Greek temple which shows partially to the left of the image, revealing one column and partially revealing its frieze, architrave and cornice. Steps are also visible at the bottom left. A brunette (presumably Sappho) stands in front of the column. She has her hair up and a white headband around it. A large, looped earring can also be seen on her right earlobe. She is wearing a white, sleeveless, long dress with a high slit over her right thigh, and a V-neck, and is barefoot, her right foot pointing atop the ground behind her body. The woman faces right at a three-quarter angle to the reader, and carries a barbiton, a classical Greek stringed-instrument, in her hands, diagonally in front of her body. Her gaze is lost in the distance. A heavily-clouded sky can be seen behind and over her, and a water body surrounded by buildings and trees, with can be seen in the bottom right of the image. The sun is behind a mountain in the distance, casting a shadow of the woman on the column.
