This is...M. Sasek

I've always loved M. Sasek's This is city series, but I was only familiar with the main ones, Paris, Venice, London, and New York.

from This is Rome

I didn't realize he had all of these:

San Francisco, Cape Kennedy (later called The Way to the Moon), United Nations (!), Edinburgh, Ireland, Munich, Greece, Israel, Honk Kong, Australia, Washington, DC (yay!) and...Texas? No wonder they think they're their own country. Apparently, DC is portrayed in a more somber light because he arrived to witness the mayhem that followed Martin Luther King's assassination, the Poor People's Campaign and the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy:

"It was like a continuing nightmare. It was worse than Berlin in 1945! The riots were especially terrible to witness. One day while I was sketching the grave site of John F. Kennedy, the guards told me that I would have to leave; moments later trucks and crewmen appeared to dig the grave of Robert F. Kennedy. I could not believe these tragedies, one after the other." from the M Sasek site

Many of them are being re-released this year...look out for them! Sadly, there's no Scandinavian cities...yet...maybe I'll make it my pet project. For further information, check out his site.
