<P> I could not get my hands on the image until out of the mist a concept began to emerge . To symbolize the achievement of human creativity and its expression through technology a spaceship was the material object . To carry this new spore into the universe, innocence would be the ideal bearer, a young girl, a girl as young as Shakespeare's Juliet . The spaceship would be the fruit of the tree of knowledge and the girl, the fruit of the tree of life . </P> <P> The spaceship could be made by Mick Milligan, a jeweller at the Royal College of Art (sic). The girl was another matter . If she were too old it would be cheesecake, too young and it would be nothing . The beginning of the transition from girl to woman, that is what I was after . That temporal point, that singular flare of radiant innocence . Where is that girl? </P> <P> Seidemann wrote that he approached a girl reported to be 14 years old on the London Underground about modelling for the cover, and eventually met with her parents, but that she proved too old for the effect he wanted . Instead, the model he used was her younger sister Mariora Goschen, who was reported to be 11 years old . Mariora initially requested a horse as a fee but was instead paid £ 40 . </P> <P> Bizarre rumours both contributed to and were fuelled by the controversy, including that the girl was Baker's daughter or was a groupie kept as a slave by the band . The image, titled "Blind Faith" by Seidemann, became the inspiration for the name of the band itself, which had been unnamed when the artwork was commissioned . According to Seidemann: "It was Eric who elected to not print the name of the band on the cover . The name was instead printed on the wrapper, when the wrapper came off, so did the type ." This had been done previously for The Rolling Stones' 1964 debut album, The Beatles' albums Rubber Soul in 1965 and Revolver in 1966, and Traffic's self - titled 1968 debut album . </P>
