I stumbled upon a gem of a website today, Space Art in Children’s books 1950’s to 1970’s (title self-explanatory.) There’s a lot of great art from the days before spaceflight; sadly, most images are saved in GIF format (and thus aren’t fabulous on quality or color.) Still, a great resource for the way society perceived space and space travel, both prior to and during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programs.
