Led Zeppelin "Houses of the Holy" (1973), Title, Cover and Art Packaging

The English rock group Led Zeppelin's fifth studio album, Houses of the Holy, was released on March 28, 1973. Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke served as the inspiration for the cover art for Houses of the Holy. The cover is a collage made up of multiple images that Hipgnosis photographer Aubrey Powell took near the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.

Stefan and Samantha Gates, two nude child models, were used in the picture session. The black and white images were multi-printed to give the impression of eleven people that are seen on the album cover. The picture on the inner gatefold was taken close to the Causeway at Dunluce Castle.
