The main image is a photo of the artist seen through a window, which has no glass. He is shown in an upper body shot. He has over shoulder-length dark, slightly curled hair parted in the centre. He is wearing a light, coffee-coloured jacket over the top of a blue-and-red striped t-shirt and jeans. His right hand holds a cigarette at waist level. His left hand is tucked into his jeans front right pocket. The window frame has white peeling paint, with the outside wall in pale blue. In the room beyond the artist is a dark chair near the back, dirty brown-white wall. Also visible is a dark doorway directly behind him. Above the wind and across the top is the artist's name in white followed by the album title in dark blue. The rest of the background is very dark blue, almost black.

Prussian Blue is the debut solo studio album by Australian rock musician, Richard Clapton, which was released in November 1973.[1][2][3] It includes three singles, "Last Train to Marseilles" (October 1972), "All the Prodigal Children" (October 1973) and "I Wanna Be a Survivor" (July 1974).[4][5] The album was produced by Richard Batchens, who later produced some of Sherbet's albums.[6] Prussian Blue failed to appear on the Kent Music Report Albums Chart.[5]

Garry Raffaele of The Canberra Times reviewed Prussian Blue in December 1973, he observed, "Clapton sounds as though he's involved with the real issues of our time — pollution, man's inhumanity to those who share Spaceship Earth with him, communication difficulties. He writes of these things but his words are not likely to convince anybody. It's the simplistic trap again."[7]
