Six more covers, mid 1950s, from Decca numbered in the DL8000 series. All of them are possibly Alex Steinweiss designs. Most are almost definitely his.

six more DL8000s, Steinweiss and Joe Weitz


Six more. There is a danger with trying to identify an artist you love just by what an artwork looks like. The Lombardo here is one of the ones I would guess to be Steinweiss, 75% chance. But it is signed Joe Weitz. So who knows? Some of them are probably Steinweiss.

the next four DL8000s, and two DL4000s I just acquired


These are the next four DL8000s that I have, and that I think are Steinweiss. And here are two DL4000s that I bought last week (for 2.5 cents each!). The DL4000s are about 10 years later than the DL8000s.

five more steinweiss covers for decca DL8000s


the next five of my Decca DL8000s. The Ink Spots one need not be Steinweiss, the other five I would put a 99% confidence interval on for being alex Steinweiss designs. I think they are all really beautiful, except the Ink Spots one. I especially like that one of them comes in all the colors of a litmus test.

next five possible steinweiss designs on decca dl8000 series


the next five. Whether these are steinweiss designs I don’t know. I think the Holiday magazine series is, and these are the first two of those that I have – more to come. Bing Crosby? I don’t know. Certainly the drawing isn’t. I show the back cover because this is the original version, and this is typical of Decca back covers of that time.
