Thanks for this essay. I am looking at my framed print of this cover as I type this. This cover is truly evocative and unforgettable, and will long be remembered as one of the greatest magazine covers ever.
Glad you enjoy. I’d like to see a properly reproduced version like the one you have. The problem with looking at it online is that the visibility of the towers varies widely depending on the particular image, which changes your perception of it a lot.
