The artwork appeared in 1976, by which time Elson had already made his professional debut. He went on to produce a few tens of dozens of covers over the next twenty years but died at the relatively young age of 51 in 1998. He's definitely going to be the subject of a gallery at some point once I can get some more scans together but I thought you might like to see this early example of his work.

I was fortunate enough to pick up two of the original Terran Trade Authority books last year on ebay and Elson's artwork is absolutley brilliant.alland
