Built in 1959, SP-350, also known as Denise, was Jacques Cousteau's "diving saucer" (Soucoupe Plongeante). Here are three illustrations of the two-man submarine.
The 1967 Eagle Annual carried a four-page feature on Cousteau's film, World Without Sun (Le Monde Sans Soleil) which featured the saucer in action. (You can view the article here).
This 1979 Russian postcard by Petr Pavlinov was one of a set of 32 featuring geographical discoveries.
World of Wonder was one of a number of educational magazines aimed at children that followed in the footsteps of Look and Learn.

Hi Robert, I recently came across a YT video where the Eagle Annual 1967 cover art was featured. When I saw it, I immediately thought it was from Don Lawrence based on the style. However, I cannot find a single source that credits anyone for the cover art. Looking more closely at it again, I’m not so confident anymore that it is from Lawrence but thought I’d ask if you had any idea or not.
ReplyDeleteHi Lucy, my initial reaction was that it's not Don Lawrence but now you've put the thought in my head I keep seeing things that make me think, "Could it be?"!! The diver's right hand for example. On balance though, I don't think it is him. I have no idea who it could be by I'm afraid. Funnily enough though, there's a western story inside that does appear to have illustrations by Lawrence.
