Hi! Long time sci-fi fan (read old man). Do you think you could find the original dust cover art for J. G. Ballard's book, The Crystal World," and post it, please? I remember thinking it the most oddly beautiful piece when I first saw it, but it's been decades ago, and it still retains a space in my head. Thanks so much!
Yeah, here it is! It's from 1966, by German surrealist Max Ernst:
I actually indirectly referenced this cover in the opening pages of my book on 70s sci-fi art -- after Richard Powers started the trend of surrealist science fiction cover art in the 50s, a lot of other publishers jumped on it, and some went as far as to get fine artists like Ernst rather than illustrators. Good eye, it's really a standout cover!
