Long description

This newspaper illustration features three head and shoulders images of the same woman. The accompanying caption indicates that the one in the centre is ‘Mrs. Agatha Christie as she was last seen’. In that image, her hair curls at the sides of her face, and she wears a dress with a square-cut neckline. In the image on the left, the woman’s hair is pulled back behind her head, and she wears glasses and a plain, dark dress. In the image on the right, she wears a dark, bobbed wig with a heavy fringe, thick-lensed glasses and a coat buttoned tightly at the collar.
