It's always the little touches that make the difference, the simplified language in the captions for example. Also like the technical accuracy, no stars visible because of the glare, would they have known that in 1959 ??? Excellent as always.
Excellent. A look both at a future that never was but one that kids knew SHOULD and WOULD be, and a very different America from the one those now 40ish and 50ish kids inhabit. A great reminder of a more optimistic time, and of the magical school library where great wonders were revealed.
LOVE IT AS ALWAYS! DO A BOOK!
I love your pictures, they really have that feel of those old images that were so brilliant at the time and are still, they had real imagination, as does this. Really fab.
Enjoy these publishing simulations!
Great work!!
Very suggestive image... and thanks for sharing; I love the sci-fi of the '50 - 60's! 5+++++!
