Salut D'amour

Inside the image.

A square cover combines a pink-red gradient background with a monochrome photograph of a seated violinist. The woman occupies the lower left and centre, reclining diagonally across the bottom of the frame. She wears a light blouse with voluminous sleeves and a dark, full skirt that spreads to the right edge. Her head and shoulders sit left of centre; she holds a violin across her lap, while its neck and bow angle towards the middle of the cover. The photograph is cropped by the lower and side edges, with the dark skirt forming a broad silhouette against the brighter background.

The background is pale blush at the top, deepening through coral and salmon to vivid red-pink near the bottom. A fine, darker red halftone-like stippling is visible across much of the field. At upper right is a red line drawing of a large rose with leaves and a long stem, positioned beside and partly below the title. The illustration and lettering stand out against the lightest part of the background; the photograph is black and white, strongly contrasting with the saturated colour behind it.

Large dark lettering with a pale outline reads “Salut d’Amour” across the upper left and centre. Its rounded, flowing letterforms have a fine shadow or edge that gives them a slightly raised appearance. Beneath it, a smaller italic serif passage is centred in four short lines: “A selection of famous short pieces by / Elgar, Mozart, Kreisler, Schubert, / Handel, Saint-Saëns… / and five popular Welsh songs”. The performer’s name, “Louise Jones”, appears in large white sans-serif lettering across the upper middle, with “Violin” directly underneath in smaller bold white type. At the right, “Malcolm / Miller” is set on two lines in white, with the smaller word “Piano” below. The text is distributed around the rose and figure, leaving the uppermost strip relatively open and making the violinist the principal visual anchor in the lower half. The image has no visible border.
