g-a_v_bw (Jan. 6, 1964 AW&ST mag., Westinghouse Electric Corp. ad, pg. 22)
Posted primarily for my own edification. Other than the brush-stroke sky enhancement and, to a lesser degree, the craters, the LEM ascent stage in the ad certainly looks to be that rendered by Mr. Crowley in the original work linked below.
- If so, was the original work also commissioned by Westinghouse?
- Is it featured in some other Westinghouse ad?
- Or was it rejected? I wouldn’t think so, it’s gorgeous, but who knows. If so, possibly, albeit counter intuitively, allowing for it’s survival?
Also:
- The Gemini spacecraft looks like a “Big-G” to me. If so…an oops?
- Mr. Crowley was the mis/unidentified artist responsible for many of, if not most of the covers of the beloved “HOW AND WHY Wonder Books”. Also linked below.
Fascinating information on Mr. Crowley, who unfortunately, passed on in 2019:
