This is really wierd because I remember this but somehow it was always
in black and white in my mind's eye. So when I saw your link I though
"oh......huh???" and then had to look.

This is so clearly a black and white image that I guess my mind just
made it one.

It's a super image and should be a book cover for SOMETHING. Maybe a
mystery novel.
