Carl Sagan. . . and Barsoom
ERBzine 1384:  An ERB Fan Tribute: Carl Sagan
From the VOA broadcast: The year is nineteen-forty-seven. Twelve-year-old Carl Sagan is standing outside a small house in the eastern city of Brooklyn, New York. It is dark. He is looking up at the sky. After a few minutes, he finds the spot for which he has been searching. It is a light red color in the night sky. Carl is looking at the planet Mars.
"I can remember as a child reading with breathless fascination the Mars novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs. . . . I can remember spending many an hour in my boyhood, arms resolutely outstretched in an empty field, imploring what I believed to be Mars to transport me there."

Dear Mr. Hillman,
I must prepare for a Planetarium, in Milan, Italy, an evening about  "Mars in science fiction". Unfortunately, all Barsoom illustrations I  found show only the hero fighting the villains or the monsters. Could  you... send me the scan of some more detailed picture of Barsoom, its  cities, scenes and inhabitants?
Fabio Femino
Milan, Italy
NOTE:
Mr. Femino's excellent presentation with many large images of Mars in fiction is featured at:
