White Heat cover question

[Duster]

It looks like the cover for White Heat was adapted from a photograph. If so, has the untouched original ever been published?

That's an interesting question and I don't think I've ever come across the original, presuming there was one. I do wonder if it was the same shoot as the well known one that graced Sometimes Like Butterflies amongst other things though.

Ah! The cover is just from a little different angle. But it does look like it could be from the same session. Thanks for bringing this up!

Thanks Carole! That's a very sharp observation; the makeup and and hair do look quite similar. Just as an aside, the other day I checked my copy of White Heat, and a "Mac James" is credited on the back with painting. I tried submitting a message via his website but had no success.
