Abstract	In his previous articles (1997, 1998, 1999), the author developed a theoretical and applied approach to analyzing interactions between the uses of constructive design elements in a wide range of images and the anticipated responses by their viewers. This Image Presentation Theory--IPT--is based in the traditional cinematic concepts of "window" and "frame," respectively referring to varying degrees and implications of phenomena such as spatial depiction, abstraction, psychological motivation and investment by the audience in the viewing experience. In the author's earliest articles, he suggested that the fundamental IPT concepts of window and frame could reasonably be extended from visual media to apply with equal clarity and metaphorical power to other situations such as the interpersonal communication processes of interactant involvement (third-person ["window"] vs. first-person ["frame"]). However, most recently (2001), the author explored how the window-frame concepts of IPT might also be relevant to the intersection of print and visual imagery regarding the narrative of Lolita, as written text by Vladimir Nabokov in 1955 and as cinematic adaptation by Stanley Kubrick in 1962 and Adrian Lyne in 1997. In this article, the author aims to briefly enhance his two most recent writings by clarifying more explicitly the IPT perspectives that inform this analysis of Lolita and citing some additional views on this multi-mediated work as presented by Andrews (1999), who offered the further interest in the role played by aestheticism, "a deep commitment to quality as perceived in aesthetic objects" (p. 11).
