(UPDATE: The photo is 'Edinburgh, 1960' by Jeanloup Sieff.)
That's nothing, though. Try this photo, by whom I cannot determine, which features on at least three book covers and four album covers. UPDATE: The hugely smart ijsbrand informs me that the image is "a woman floating in Weeki Wachee Spring, Florida, by Toni (Antoinette) Frissell, and it was published in Harper’s Bazaar in December 1947."
This is Frissell's self-portrait from 1935, 'I'd Rather Stalk with a Camera Than a Gun'.

That last image, of a woman floating in Weeki Wachee Spring, Florida, is by Toni Frissell, and it was published in Harper’s Bazaar in December 1947.
Magic! Thanks for the information--I'll add it to the post. You're on the list of deeply clever people.
Great post. What's the caption info (photographer, title, date) for the first image, from the Dundy book and Higgins album?
I wish I knew! I've been trying to track it down, without any luck, but when I get a look at the NYRB book, I'll post the details here.
Thanks. It's quite a lovely photograph.
I would like to note, that one reason it is probably a popular image is that it was given to the library of congress and is a free image, additionally Frissell, still being an under rated photographer probably accounts for the high level of duplicity.
Also, the Beauvilles album cover has no text on it for a reason, in an interview one of the members said, "...well yes we have found that this photo was used for a variety of things, but everyone else has ruined it by putting stupid text on it..."
At least they are from Florida, where the picture was taken.
That's very useful to know, Marshall: thank you. I wondered about that Beauvilles album cover--I assume the text is on a sticker, then, as looking around most of the images of it do indeed not have any type (and a good thing too).
And! Anonymous--sorry for the long delay: the photo is 'Edinburgh, 1960' by Jeanloup Sieff.
The Beauvilles are from Tampa FL, very close to Weeki Wachee Springs. it's a great album too. :)
