...current Spirit says true to its model. The drawing emphasizes the detail of light, shadow, and angular point-of-view that distinguished the dramatic visualization of sound effects: one superb panel shows a progression of muddy footprints on concrete, the words "click" and "clack" written in tiny lettering next to each foot puddle.

The Great Ages of Man series, wrote the Los Angeles Times, "demonstrates the imposing possibilities of pictorial history . . This, of course, is to be expected from the TIME-LIFE specialists. What is even more important...
