g_v_c_o_AKP (ca. 1964/65, orig. unnumbered Douglas Aircraft Co. photo)

Easily one of the best artist’s concepts of a Gemini spacecraft in orbit…exquisite.

 

Although no signature is present - it likely being a Douglas Aircraft Company/McDonnell Douglas-produced work - the amazing detail, along with the time period leads me to think it’s possibly by Arnold Pierce. I believe Mr. Pierce was the company’s chief artist/illustrator then…at least of Mercury & Gemini spacecraft.

 

8.5” x 11”.

 

In black & white and associated with Gemini 3:

Also…which tepidly supports my supposition that it’s by Arnold Pierce:
