Several pictures were found hanging on a wall in the manuscript room. This one seems to be an artists conception of Gay Deceiver from The Number of the Beast, though the [artist]-esque background suggests it might be an illustration of something from Time Enough for Love or possibly one of the World As Myth books. The artist's signature is unfortunately indecipherable. | |
 Another "tribute," possibly contemporaneous with the MidAmeriCon in 1976. Heinlein's own characters -- Lazarus Long and Star are identifiable -- plus others (are those Star Trek characters at the top?) look on while 6 year old Robert Heinlein plays Tarzan naked in Swope Park, Kansas City. |
 And we continue across the wall. There is only a strip of wall available, less than 2.5 feet wide, between floor-to-ceiling shelves. A shot from Apollo 13 (I think) and some of the 18th century books from the South Seas collection. |

 Both the Heinleins were fond of astronomical art. The bottom picture appears to be Chinese calligraphy -- a particular fondness of Heinlein's. Incidentally, the calligraphy is hung sideways -- it should be hung vertically. |
 More astronomical art. You can see photos of these pictures hung in their dining room at Bonny Doon, here. |
|
 Astronaut Ed White gave the Heinleins several autographed pictures |
 More astronomical art. When Ginny moved to Florida, she did not have room to display everything, so some of it wound up at the Archive. |
