The black-and-white closeup photo of Eva was taken by Eva’s friend Larry Melton, who also photographed Eva for the cover of LIVE AT BLUES ALLEY. On the interior of the album cover, the charming drawing of a little girl embracing a honeybee is Eva’s own artwork, from a label she designed for a honey jar.
