Satellites in Outer Space (1960)
We start off July with a set of early 1960-1962 children's books. Most of the illustrations were in black and white but are still impressive for their beauty.

I had never seen this illustrations of the size of these early satellites scaled to a human.

John Polgreen was my earliest favorite Silver Age space artist. When I was quite young a book about space travel was offered as a cereal premium. It was illustrated by Polgreen. I don't recall the title; it's probably here on your site.
