Peter Elson

Kelvin referred a fantastic site of illustrations of starships by Peter Elson. Elson is a forgotten contemporary of Chris Moore, starship illustrator-extraordinaire.

It is such a shame that he is forgotten today as Elson's starships illustrations have an evocative feel about them.

He's amazing. He has this touch that others seem to lack. What do you think of Chris Foss?

Do you know of any collection of Elson's work that is available? My friend, Kelvin, is searching for one.

There's regrettably not much on Elson on the web. There's this site - http://wintermute71.tripod.com/Elson.htm

A lot of his work appeared in the TTA Handbook series - what's the TTA, I hear you ask?

Thanks for the references. This site does look promising. A book. Terran Trade Authority? Hmm...
