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?

'Planets'. partially written by Carl Sagan, had a page of imaginary 'observers drawings' a Martian telescopic observer might have made.

Thanks, Don, that's what I'm remembering. Used to own a copy of that.
