==Artwork== [[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-2004-0430-501, Jagdstaffel 11, Manfred v. Richthofen.jpg|thumb|The World War I photograph on which the album sleeve was based]] The [[Record sleeve|album sleeve]] design was from a poster by David Juniper, who was simply told by the band to come up with an interesting idea. Juniper was a fellow student of Page's at Sutton Art College in Surrey.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.led-zeppelin.org/biographies/64-reference/biographies/associates-bio/1437-david-juniper |title=David Juniper |date=25 September 2010 |publisher=led-zeppelin.org |access-date=6 October 2015 |archive-date=16 October 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151016081258/http://www.led-zeppelin.org/biographies/64-reference/biographies/associates-bio/1437-david-juniper |url-status=dead }}</ref> Juniper's design was based on a photograph of the [[Jagdstaffel 11]] Division of the [[Luftstreitkräfte|German Air Force]] during World War I, the [[Jagdgeschwader 1 (World War I)|Flying Circus]] led by the [[Manfred von Richthofen|Red Baron]]. Juniper replaced four of the flyers' heads with photos of the band members, added facial hair and sunglasses to some of the flyers' faces or replaced some with the faces of other people. The blonde-haired woman is French actress [[Delphine Seyrig]] in her role as Marie-Madeleine in the film ''[[Mr. Freedom]]'', a leftist anti-war satire by [[William Klein (photographer)|William Klein]]. The cover also pictured the outline of a Zeppelin on a brown background (similar to the cover of the band's [[Led Zeppelin (album)|first album]]), which gave the album its nickname "Brown Bomber".{{sfn|Lewis|2012|pp=55–56}}
