Possibly the only good cover they've ever had

Except that Tolstoy spends 1300+ pages BTFOing the exact kind of glorifying romanticism that went into that painting.

It's weird, older editions of Wordsworth Classics have pretty decent covers. It's like the intentionally started making shit covers in order to become a meme. I was surprised to find some old Wordsworth Classic books at a second hand shop that didn't look like the work of a 14 year old's first attempt at using Photoshop.
