trees by steinweiss


While thumbing through a set of old vinyl album covers in a datebook, I was surprised to see that five out of the twelve covers had trees on them.

All drawings of trees—presumably dated 1940s—from a book titled Alex Steinweiss: The Inventor of the Modern Album Cover. Black-and-white photo (1947) of Alex Steinweiss himself.

  1. Wow...interesting, Fi. And nice composition. I must say I have never heard of this artist before. Always nice to learn something new on The Kollage Kit!

    1. I'd never heard of Steinweiss, either—not until I happened to pick up that old datebook... I love serendipity!
