Cover artwork[edit]

The cover artwork shows a Droste effect featuring the group, with a picture hanging on the wall showing the same scene, except that the band members have switched positions.[1]

It's not an approximately-infinite sequence, which a true Droste effect would produce: in addition to the main image, the wall hanging shows three similar images with each band member moving around by one position (so that, for example, David Gilmour is successively: on the chair; in the Sarvangasana position on the grass; standing up; sitting on the doorstep, with the others following the same sequence but beginning in a different place); after three such images, the fourth (innermost) image is the front cover from A Saucerful of Secrets. Has the cited source mentioned that in their book? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:29, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
