The portrait of your good self on page 4 "A night seance in rubidium lamp

Yes, indeed it is. Now, which LP sleeve is it? We have the age for it here.
It looks like it was painted by Joseph Wright of Derby, who lived about 250
years ago and who was the first painter to paint scientific subjects, and
who was the master of lighting his subjects with a single candle.
Lovely description.
This time it was a single Maglite that Jörgen's wife held. Oh, and the
rubidium-lamp and stray light from my array of instruments of course. :)
We had fun taking those photos.
Cheers,
