In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
The album’s iconic cover was a collaboration between Mangum and R.E.M.’s staff designer, Chris Bilheimer.  The general design reflects the taste of Mangum: Bryan Poole said that  “[Mangum] was always into that old-timey, magic, semi-circus,  turn-of-the-century, penny arcade kind of imagery.” One particular piece Mangum showed to Bilheimer was an old European postcard with an image of people bathing at a resort, which was then cropped and altered for the cover.
