Friend and fellow folk musician eric von schmidt created the painterly design in the spirit of french artist toulouse-lautrec, based on a photograph by richard waterman - the artist's initials 'vs' were incorporated into the design at lower left. Already a global star, baez had helped to boost dylan's early career by introducing the then unknown folk musician to her fans and tour audiences in 1963, and the pair would continue to duet and tour together for the next couple of years as dylan's star continued to rise. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
