Portfolio Notes
THE HISTORY
The eight illustrations reproduced in this portfolio were originally commissioned for the German Television Guide BILD UND FUNK, who used them as title illustrations for a series of stories taken from the STAR TREK books by the late James Blish. These stories were used as a build-up to the screening of STAR TREK in Germany, where they retitled the series ENTERPRISE, as the words STAR TREK would not conveniently translate. This is the first, and only, reproduction of these illustrations outside Germany.
