Inscription:
A/P
10/15
I am Mr. Rochester in several of Paula’s Jane Eyre series, which was inspired as much by Jean Rhys’s prequel to Jane Eyre, The Wide Sargasso Sea, as by the Brontë novel itself. My military uniform in one picture had been previously worn on TV by Corin Redgrave, according to the theatre and television outfitters Gosprop, who in those days were a block or two from Paula’s studio which was in the aptly named Rochester Place.
