Jules Verne: The Man Who Invented the Future

February 10, 2011 by Fosco Lucarelli Leave a Comment

Ward Jenkins shared some marvelous scans of illustrations by Peter P. Plasencia for a book titled: Jules Verne: The Man Who Invented the Future (by Franz Born ©1964 Prentice-Hall, Inc.)

“Great little book on the futurist Jules Verne, illustrated by Peter P. Plasencia, who, as you may recall, illustrated the wonderful Space Alphabet book. I love seeing how Peter utilized the gouache to create various depths of field by the use of the subtle shades of grey. All the while, flattening the space within the composition. Superb work. Love it.”
