I have a vague recollection of seeing some artists' conceptions of Earth as seen from Mars in some book when I was a kid, say 1965-1970. It might have been one of the Time-Life "Science Library" series books. Anybody recall?

There is a somewhat famous piece of cover art from an anthology featuring, and named after, A.C. Clarke's short story "Transit of Earth" (published by Playboy, 1971). Of course, this particular piece, while it shows Earth from Mars, shows it as it transits the solar disk.

Might not be exactly what you were looking for...
