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.

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

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.
