The original album cover was designed by David and Calvin Mark Lee. The overlaid photograph was taken by Vernon Dewhurst. The graphic artwork is a 1965 design from Hungarian-French artist Victor Vasarely entitled CTA 25 Neg ™ The back cover was a painting entitled Width Of A Circle created by friend and artist George Underwood. 1.
