Arnold Böcklin in tightly spaced all caps, on the cover of Prophets, Seers & Sages: The Angels of the Ages. The second studio album by English psychedelic folk band Tyrannosaurus Rex (later known as T. Rex) was released on 14 October 1968 by Regal Zonophone. Photography by Pete Sanders.
First cast by the Weisert foundry in Stuttgart, Germany in 1904, the typeface with the tendril-like strokes is named after Swiss symbolist painter Arnold Böcklin (1827–1901). It got a new lease of life in the late 1960s as part of the Art Nouveau revival.
