I came across PE, like many others, via the Stuart Cowley TTA books. I would spend hours as a kid pouring over them and this was probably my favourite. The photolike realism of Elson's work put him (for me) a step above all the other artists, and this is a fabulous example. RIP PE.

As a kid, I couldn't figure out how this seemed to look so realistic, when only the spaceship had very much detail. On a large format reprint the effect was quite startling (e.g. Great Space Battles). Seeing it now I think that the bokeh style has a lot to do with the apparent realism.

probably one of the strongest sci-fi images I remember from my childhood
