==Artwork and packaging== The [[cover art]]work was photographed by [[Daniel Kramer (photographer) | Daniel Kramer]] several weeks before the recording sessions. Kramer captured Dylan sitting on the stoop of the apartment of his manager, [[Albert Grossman]], located in [[Gramercy Park]], New York, placing Dylan's friend [[Bob Neuwirth]] behind Dylan "to give it extra color".<ref name = "Polizzotti5">{{harvnb|Polizzotti|2006|pp=5β7}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Williams |first=Alex |date=2024-05-14 |title=Daniel Kramer, Who Photographed Bob Dylan's Rise, Dies at 91 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/14/arts/music/daniel-kramer-dead.html |access-date=2024-05-15 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Only the lower half of Neuwirth is visible and he holds a camera. Dylan wears a [[Triumph Engineering|Triumph motorcycle]] T-shirt under a blue and purple silk shirt, holding his [[Ray-Ban]] sunglasses in his right hand.<ref name = "Polizzotti5"/> Photographer Kramer commented in 2010 on the singer's expression: "He's hostile, or it's a hostile moodiness. He's almost challenging me or you or whoever's looking at it: 'What are you gonna do about it, buster?{{' "}}<ref>{{harvnb|Egan|2010|p=56}}</ref> As he had on his previous three albums, Dylan contributed his own writing to the back cover of ''Highway 61 Revisited'', in the shape of freeform, [[surrealist]] prose: "On the slow train time does not interfere & at the Arabian crossing waits White Heap, the man from the newspaper & behind him the hundred inevitables made of solid rock & stone."<ref name = "H61R Discover"/> One critic has pointed out the close similarity of these notes to the [[stream of consciousness]], experimental novel ''[[Tarantula (Dylan book)|Tarantula]]'', which Dylan was writing during 1965 and 1966.<ref name="Egan60"/>
