> exhibition, the choice became obvious -- an old pipe player, and thus the
> cover.

> "similar" as well.

In the original Family of man Eugene V. Harris?s Peruvian Flute Player,
which Steichen chose for the book?s cover image was much more than a cover
he was a motif repeated throughout the book I think with each chapter
heading. He became a kind of pic logo.
