Hi, a long time ago I saw the Caress Of Steel album cover  for about the third time and noticed a sort of face like Queen Victoria on the left of the necromancer on the cover. Just wanted to know is this just a coincidence or is it intentional. In the unlikely case it is, what's the meaning of it? I heard something about the Indian Head Penny's similarities but I doubt it's true Ermm Here is a picture in case you don't know what it looks like:

Just taken out my LP of CoS and I'm not seeing it.....there's more likely to be a face on the dead tree on the back cover picture

Have you done acid recently..?

Can't see it myself, although if I tilt the album sleeve 45 degrees to the left I can see the suggestion of an evil grinning face with dark eyes and a cigar in mouth....
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Saturday coffee, daydreaming and bananas sometimes work even better for me.

I haven't taken anything but a beans soup and I see that face. How is it possible that nobody else sees it? 

and...what about the huge number of faces on the front picture of "In The Land Of Grey And Pink" and the gnomes on the tree back to Dave Gilmour in the internal pic of Ummagumma?

I bet you see Jesus' face in bits of toast as well Wink
 
Actually there is a vague face-like figure just above the man's head, although it's not clear what you're actually seeing, but I reckon it's just coincidence.

Naah, I'm atheist. The face I see is 3D seen from above and watching down. Her right border is at the level of the sorcerer's shoulder and the left at his hand. I don't know if it's a queen and it's surely a conicidence, but it's there.

I can see Berlusconi's face on Guldbamsen's avatar, too.Big smile

I'll be damned - I think I see it !!! Just above the man's head, slightly to the left. Looks like 'The Joker' from Batman. With a tall cow-lick hair-doo, long nose and chin. Not Queen Victoria.......

LOL
 
The cover is by Hugh Syme, and he if he wanted you to see faces in the cover they would have been done a hell of a lot better. (Same for the Indian Head penny)
 
For example, this is one of his:
