Illustration by Ferlinghetti? Well, rather obviously, no. The author's name is Frantisek Kudlac. See this: http://www.e-antikvariat.com/english/article.php?category=32.
Istvan, in that caption I was just expressing delight that there was an edition of Ferlinghetti. I also realize my captions can be read two ways, but for most of these books I'm only naming the writer, not the illustrator/cover designer. Except for some I give both names, like: "cover illustration by Igor Kostka for Kmotor na čerešni by Štefan Sabo." Sorry for this confusion.
