Description: Many people received their introduction to the art of Chesley Bonestell by way of coming across a copy of the famous 1949 Willy Ley/Chesley Bonestell book, "The Conquest of Space".
Of the 58 Bonestell illustrations in "Conquest", 43 were first published in magazines, between 1944 and 1948. Whereas a majority of the illustrations in CONQUEST were reproduced in black and white, almost all of those early magazine appearances were in color.
