The third book, Journey to Chandara really brought back the original feel of discovery the first had. I liked the second but I liked exploring the world more than doodling around with crystal doohickies. Definitely an awesome book. I still have them even though they are a little worse for wear.
Try Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds. First of all, probably my favourite space epic of all time, the Revelation Space story arc is amazing and I love his focus on technology and space travel/combat. That said, Chasm City is more of a self-contained story that takes place primarily around a particular planet, and is one of the best twisty narratives I've had the pleasure of reading.
Specifically, Chasm City itself was a "golden age" style metropolis of kilometre-high skyscrapers and technology before a nano-plague took hold and transformed everything into a grotesque caricature of what it was. The city as it is "now" consists of the upper echelons existing in their now-dampened utopia while the slums far below have fallen to the poor and criminal.
...it's about time I read it again.
Thanks for the link, there's heaps of amazing art on that blog. I got the image out of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Treasury-American-Illustration-1881-1938-History/dp/0486242803 and they just called it advertising drawing. Echoes does seem like an appropriate title though, it's pretty frustrating how hard it is to find accurate information about a lot of art, your source even has a conflicting date so I'm not sure what's right.
As for what it was advertising, it could have been anything. I was just looking at ad art on this blog: http://www.graphicine.com/maxfield-parrish-the-present/ and the images are completely irrelevant to what they're selling, lol.

Bless you. Bless you long and hard. Saving this version right now.
Have you seen the second book in the Journey trilogy? It's called Quest and I think it just came out last month!
If you like this read: Gene Wolfe - Shadow & Claw
Reminds me of the Comic book collection "Flight"

This is how I imagine the Pantheon in Ilium by Dan Simmons would look. (Amazing book- read it!).
Some of those pictures remind me of David Macaulay's work! Link for the uninitiated.
