Martian Machine Over the Thames | Henrique Alvim Corrêa | 1906

This haunting illustration by Henrique Alvim Corrêa depicts a scene from H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds," showcasing one of the Martian machines towering over the River Thames. Created around 1906, it's part of a series of drawings Corrêa did for a special edition of the novel. The image conveys a sense of otherworldly invasion and menace, as the tripod's silhouette looms ominously against a dark, textured sky, while streetlamps and the rippling water reflect a ghostly light. It captures the eerie and imposing presence of the Martians in Wells' iconic science fiction work.
