g_v_c_o_AKP (ca. 1963-65, unnumbered prob. Aerojet-General photo)

Beautifully composed promotional(?) artwork by resident Aerojet-General Corporation artist George Mathis, in his distinctive style, featuring a dramatic perspective of a Gemini/Titan II launch vehicle during launch preparations. In fact, exercising a little artistic license, Mr. Mathis provides us a view of crew insertion.

 

8.5" x 11".

 

Interesting additional background & examples of Mr. Mathis' works:
