About this poster
“Worlds without end” is one of seven poster designs that Erik Nitsche created for the U.S. General Dynamics corporation on the occasion of the second International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in Geneva. The aim of the series, which carried the slogan “Exploring the Universe”, was to show the various areas of scientific and technological research in which the corporation was active. This poster shows a space shuttle flying past galaxies, a Red Dwarf and a Black hole on its journey through space. It represents the research efforts for space travel, one year after Sputnik’s first trip around the Earth and eleven years before the first manned moon landing!
