I remember the album cover, but what's the title and who's the artist?

Years ago I had one of those "greatest album covers" books, and there was one (a jazz LP, I believe) that featured a gorgeous black and white photo of a woman floating in a lake or river, wearing a white dress, with only her face above water (the photo was taken benearth the surface, so her face wasn't visible). There was no writing of any kind on the cover. Anyway, I've been trying to find out which album that is for years now (the book is long gone), to no avail. Does this ring any bells with anyone?

For extra points, the picture was taken by fashion photographer Toni Frissell at Weeki Wachee Spring, Florida and was published in Harper's Bazaar in December 1947

If anyone else is interested, here's a great version of the original photo.

She gifted it to the Library of Congress, so it's in the public domain.
