American painter, designer, and illustrator (1888-1986) considered to be the 'father of space art,' whose work was influential in science fiction artwork and cinema. Sought-after color 31.5 x 27.5 print of a 1948 painting by Chesley Bonestell entitled 'Saturn as Seen from Titan,' signed in the lower left in pencil by the artist. In fine condition, with some light creasing and soiling in the margins. One of only two signed print editions that were produced by Bonestell before his passing in 1986 at the age 98, which is reproduced at the same size as the original painting. This image was used on the back cover of the 1949 speculative science book The Conquest of Space written by Willy Ley, with Bonestell providing all of the illustrations for the work.
