Author: Ikematsu Hitoshi.
Title: Original illustration of a rocket-like space ship.
Description: n.p. 1975. Guoache and ink? on bristol board; 33x52cm with protective overlay sheet and mounted proof of the reduced published illustration in black and white. Signed, dated with an identification number by Ikematsu. ¶ An exquisite cutaway rendering of a large scale space ship that seems to powered by some fuel or force - maybe gathered in space through the nose? Though it looks more like reverse gear. Humans occupy four floors toward the tail, but why are they upside down if the tail is the tail and propels the ship? Ikematsu was a busy sci-fi and technical wizzbang artist and this was obviously for a magazine. It's a pity if the customers only got to see it at half scale in black and white.
