Inscription:
Proof
For Tony (as Bluebeard) much love
Paula is having fun here, dressing me (Mr Rochester) up as Bluebeard, who was surely only a marginal influence on Jane Eyre’s Rochester. Paula is saying this is what we do in the studio: we dress the model up. It’s “fancy dress”. And then we copy it.
