Hirschfeld Hornblower

For those who liked the rather classy Punch caricature of Gregory Peck as Horatio Hornblower, here's another one, this time by the American caricaturist Al Hirschfeld. I wonder what he would have made of Ioan Gruffudd as HH?

You know about the Nina thing right? He did it for years, I remember searching for the Nina as a little girl.

I didn't know about the Nina thing until I posted this and googled Hirschfeld. It took me ages to find the Nina in the Hornblower picture, but I spotted it eventually :)
