New Order — Power, Corruption & Lies
Designer Peter Saville was cruising the National Portrait Gallery in London for something “Machiavellian” for New Order’s 1983 album Power, Corruption & Lies. He settled on a classic olde Basket of Roses by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour by accident.

They’re seductive.” Got that? Exchanging flowers will never be the same.
