Jules Verne, From the Earth to the Moon, science-fiction, Émile-Antoine Bayard

Description

One of the many illustrations by Émile-Antoine Bayard that accompanied Jules Verne's 1870 novel From the Earth to the Moon. These visualizations of Verne's text proliferated the collective imagination. In news coverage of Robert Goddard's rocket, it was these images and ideas that artists and journalists drew from, as opposed to his actual work. Editorial cartoons and illustrations almost always depicted some combination of launching a rocket via cannon and/or a rocket that could carry passengers.
