“Chapter 8 - Future Unlimited: Rockets, Satellites and the Atomic Age” illustrations for The Storybook of Science, by Jeanne Bendick, circa 1959.

Description:

“About a thousand years ago when I first started to read, I was fired with ambition to be an illustrator. I even knew what kinds of books I wanted to illustrate—the ones that were called, ‘Information Books.’ Nobody called them science books then. Science was a majestic subject, certainly too complicated for children.” —Jeanne Bendick, “Illustrating Science Books for Children” (1973), p. 20.
