Description

"In this immense gallery, which measures almost 30 kilometres in overall length, we see preserved in columns of ionized fluid representative specimens of 984 different alien species. Of these 633 are identified (including an early specimen of Homo Erectus in column no. 422); the remaining 351 are unknown species (many of which may have been extinct for many years: estimated age of the gallery is 0.5 million years)."

Atmospheric sci fi from Robert Holdstock and Malcom Edwards' 'Tour of the Universe' (Mayflower, 1980).

Les says: "An interior illustration for Tour of the Universe by Malcolm Edwards and Robert Holdstock. It was published by Pierrot Publishing in hardback and Mayflower in paperback. Unusually for me there are a lot of hard edges in this painting. Someone must have bought me a lot of masking tape."
