Jim Flora (1914-1998) designed dozens of album covers for Columbia Records and RCA Victor during the 1940s and 1950s. This silk-screen print is of the artist's swirly 1955 EP cover for the Pete Jolly Duo. Jazz pianist Pete Jolly was a prolific TV and film soundtrack composer. But in our world, he's a pulsating, hyperkinetic hepcat who was twice caricatured by Jim Flora on RCA Victor album covers.

Produced by Minneapolis print and design studio Aesthetic Apparatus, the prints have been created using Flora archivist Barbara Economon's digital restoration of a vintage printer's proof. They measure 20" x 20" (much larger than the album version), and use three acrylic screen printing inks meticulously matched to Flora's original colours on archival 100-pound off-white cover stock.

Each print is numbered on the front and authenticated on the reverse with stamped seals from Jim Flora Art LLC (a Flora family enterprise) and Aesthetic Apparatus. The name "Flora," which was typeset on the original cover, has been replaced with the trademark "Flora" signature from the period. In addition, the musician's names, which appeared in obtrusive typeset (non-Flora) blocks in the original, have been removed to better highlight the vibrating figures.
