Rudolph de Harak, ca. 1960s (see the original post)

I love this designer. Here's a blurb from Julian's de Harak (sometimes "deHarak") flickr group:

This group seeks to compile as many examples of the work of legendary graphic design Rudolph de Harak (1924-2002) as possible. He is said to have designed approximately 400 book covers for McGraw-Hill in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as a large number of record covers for Columbia and Westminster.
