The statue on the cover of the album is Vancouver's "Bronze Angel", created by the Montréal sculptor, Coeur de Lion MacCarthy located at the former Canadian Pacific Railway Station. The bronze war memorial depicting the angel of victory raising up a young soldier to heaven at the moment of his death, was erected in 1921 to commemorate 1115 Canadian Pacific Railway employees killed during World War I. The sculpture was erected in Montréal, Quebec, Winnipeg, Manitoba and Vancouver, British Columbia.[5]
