The Wonderful World









From The Wonderful World : The Adventure of the Earth We Live On. by James Fisher. Art Editor FHK Henrion. (1954, Hanover).

No artists listed in my copy, but it's missing some pages. I overlapped Man's and Nature's Worlds (fourth image above) in Photoshop.

UPDATE 8/8/08:
Here's the cover.

That's some of the most inspiring imagery I've seen in a while! Thanks.

Henrion was quite an important figure in the graphics world of the 1950's and 60's

There's a potted biography here:

As a small boy growing up in Sussex, I used to play with his children.
They had a swimming pool, which was a rare luxury in those days.
