The
album's original cover art by Burton Silverman features a watercolour
portrait of a long-haired, bearded man in shabby clothes. The idea for
the cover came from a photograph Anderson's wife took of a homeless man
on Thames Embankment, and Anderson later felt it would have been better
to have used the photograph rather than commission the painting. Ian
Anderson recalls posing for a photograph for the painting, though
Silverman claims it was a self-portrait.
The artwork was commissioned
and purchased by Chrysalis Records head Terry Ellis in 1971. Silverman
was paid a flat fee of $1,500 for the painting. There was no written
contract. The artist says the art was only licensed for use as an album
cover, and not for merchandising; he approached the band seeking
remuneration for the additional uses, such as printing it on T-shirts
and coffee mugs.
The original artwork for both the front and back
covers are missing. They were apparently stolen from a London hotel
room, or perhaps from Chrysalis' office during a robbery. The original
artwork for the interior gatefold painting was not taken during the
robbery and is held by Terry Ellis.
