Wonders of Space Travel (1954)
A re-run again. I mentioned this one briefly about a year ago but thought I would share some more scans with you.

These were booklets that were enclosed as extras in Lion magazine. This 1954 one reused a lot of the Bonestell and Freeman illustrations from the Collier's magazine series.
Some were re-paintings of famous images.
A lot of very beautiful art for such a small booklet. It even had this great color "center-fold".
I apologize for the lack of posts. there have been a lot less new items in my collection and I haven't had time to do more scans of some of the older ones. Maybe summer will re-inspire me. Here are a couple more pages:
Really beautiful images even if re-printed from another source.
Great blog! These images remind me of the books I grew up with!
