A rather nifty piece of artwork depicting the title, on the date. This was of course long before the era of computer rendered art; all this was done by hand.

Note that the work shown being done is being done at night.

    That’s really interesting piece of artwork, if for no other reason than the choice of nighttime and sepia tones for it.

    Did the Crawler Transporter actually have headlights on it, as shown in the artwork?

    […] A slightly later, slightly less colorful illustration of the VAB than This One. […]
