Thunderball Artwork Sources
While catalogueing my photos I've noticed several ones that look like Robert McGinnis used them for his "Thunderball" artwork. Connery's head comes from the publicity photo-shoot for "From Russia With Love", the legs from a photo with Connery reading, Claudine Auger appears to be a composite of several publicity shots. Same goes for Martine Beswicke and Molly Peters.

line art version while the UK quad poster used the pencil version.
