Stephen Russ (1919–1983) was a British illustrator, particularly of book dust jackets.[1]
Russ was educated at the Royal College of Art.[1]
He became a lecturer at Bath School of Art and Design, and was the head of printed textiles.[1]
He is probably best known for his cover design for the first Penguin paperback edition of D. H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's Lover.[1]
He did much of the cover art for the Penguin Poets series in the early 1960s.[1][2]
