Anyone know the origin of the picture? Being Penguin, I assume they used preexisting artwork.

It's a Russian propaganda poster which was designed to commemorate the anniversary of October, I believe the tenth anniversary. That is all I know I'm afraid.

If you have the copy of the book, on the back cover it should credit the cover art. Or at least my Penguin edition of the Iron Heel does.

Unfortunately, I don't actually own this edition of the book, though maybe someone who does will stumble upon this thread. Failing that, I can just wait until I come across it in a bookstore somewhere.

No need to, looking at the amazon listing for the same book and the images available:

"Poster Celebrating the First Anniversery of the 1917 Revolution. Courtesy of the David King Collection"
