There's a painting by Joseph Wright of Derby, a portrait of one Susanna Hope.
When part of this portrait was used on the cover of a novel recently, a touch of inflation seems to have gone on.
Wright, by the way, is responsible for the famous and unpleasant painting 'An Experiment on a Bird in an Air Pump', as used on a now out-of-print edition of Frankenstein.

I was thinking it looked more like she's had a couple of chicken fillets stuffed under her skin... ow.
"Experiment with an Air-Pump" gets about - it was also used on my Penguin Classics copy of Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion.
Ta for the Splash.

For a moment there I thought the experiment with an air pump you were referring to were the inflated breasts, and I was wondering why Penguin had boobified poor old Hume.
