Speeding into Space! Yet another of the beautifully designed children's books of the golden age of space illustration.
Neurath, Marie. Speeding Into Space. New York: Lothrop, Lee and Shepard / London : Parrish. (36 p.) 22 cm. (Also 1956, 1958, 1962 editions.)
Text and illustrations show rocket theory, space walks, space stations and a Moon landing. Illustrations are stylized and "blocky", very different from the usual "realistic" paintings. The choice of using only a few colors make the illustrations that much more striking.
