This particular set seems to be taken from the prints included in T.A. Heppenheimer's _Colonies in Space_, which my dad brought home to me as a kid. I'm going to grab it from my shelf now. (Also from the 70's)

EDIT: I was wrong. Some of those pictures are there, but not all. Still, it was a great way for a kid to become interested in science.

That's where I recall them from.

The book itself is online: http://www.nss.org/settlement/ColoniesInSpace/index.html
