Description | Lady Godiva and her Eton Crop |
Details |
Humorous illustration, the first in a series called Hushed Up History showing Lady Godiva, who famously rode naked through the city of Coventry with only her long hair to cover her modesty, transported to the modern day (or at least 1927) and discovering that doing the same thing with a fashionable Eton Crop hair style would be terribly embarrassing.
