German musician and designer KLAUS VOORMANN (now aged 88) met the Fab Four in their early days when they played in bars in Hamburg. He played here and there on Beatles‘ albums as a session collaborator, but is probably best known for designing the front cover of the band’s classic LP Revolver.

For his iconic creation, Voormann was inspired by The Yellow Book,
a British quarterly literary periodical that was published in London
from 1894 to 1897.

A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon this Voormann pencil sketch for the LP.
