One of the most beautiful books ever. Thanks for posting these.

Fascinating collection, but one in the middle, appropriately labelled "the ship", struck me as quite familiar. A brief browse through my library and I find it's remarkably similar to Endstation Mond by Erik Theodor Lässig (found here on Dark Roasted Blend). Not that I wish to sully either piece with off-hand remarks about plagiarism; rather, I think this type of work all the more fascinating when such similar scenes are drawn up.
