I love this Galaxy 59 cover art. Not sure who the artist is. The dark, light and shadowing is fabulous.
The spacecraft looks so familiar but I just can't put my finger on it.
You?
Artist could be Ed Emsh ship looks a bit like Land of the Giants Spindrift, or possibly one of the Echo toy cars, Bill
its actually: Cover by GAUGHAN Showing SALVAGE FROM 50,000,000 B.C.https://archive.org/details/galaxymagazine-1957-12/mode/2up Bill
Thanks Bill, not a name I know.
What a cover! And a story by Willy Ley?!?! I’ll take a copy, please! SFZ
And it's the December issue 2957, what a Xmas prezzie that would have been SF!
Yes, Jack Gaughan. I did a blog post on him. FYI you can get most of the old pulp magazines in PDF online for free. Lifetimes of reading there.
Cheers Baron. It's amazing what's online, yes. That's how it should be.
Honestly, the ship looks like a futuristic 1960s flashlight to me.
I loved flashlights as a kid Scott.
Has a bit of a Supercar shape to it.
Definitely. Before it though.

Yes, there's echoes of it there for sure Bill. A gorgeous design.
