pauldrye, Via Mike Acs on Flickr, an image of what I believe was the proposed Saturn MLV-11.5 configuration -- basically a Saturn IB with four five-segment solid boosters strapped to it.
The idea was to hit a middle spot for payload between the IB's 18.6 tonnes and the Saturn V's 118 -- around 40 tonnes.
I've cropped out the frame, cleaned up some scuffs, colour-corrected it, and down-sized. You can see the original at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/apollo4ever/53316046537
