-:Hurwitz: "So on to [[The Concert for Bangla Desh]] (1971), which is a beautiful cover, certainly one of your top pieces. Where did the cover photo of the child come from?"+
-:Wilkes: "This is an [[Associated Press|AP]] or [[UPI]] released picture of a starving child... I did extensive airbrushing and then did this design, this presentation of it. I kind of cleaned it up a little. I spent hours looking at horrible, horrible footage, and we eventually selected this shot. Some of the other photos in the book are from the rest of the film footage I reviewed. It was difficult to watch. We just took stills from the film."+
- +
-:Hurwitz: [Wilkes displays a 1-inch high pewter medallion of the boy on this front cover, framed in the arched outline.] "Where did this come from?"+
-:Wilkes: "We did Bangla Desh gratis for them. We did it just because we wanted to contribute to George's cause, so we just worked on expenses. He flew us to New York. We did all the photography, on the stage, and we put the whole package together. [[George Harrison|George (Harrison)]] gave these, as a little present, to everybody who donated their time. I also have a really nice letter from [[UNICEF]] thanking me, which was really great."+
