As a child my local public library had a series of books with these and similar futuristic artwork.

I loved those books!

By chance does anyone know what they might have been?

Gerard K. O'Neill, High Fronteir and T.A. Heppenheimer, Colonies in Space were two of the better-known ones. Both have distinctive covers.

"Rick Guidice" seems to be a familiar name behind the artwork. I too read books with this kind of illustration as a kid growing up and it makes me very nostalgic.
