It’s hard to describe but does anyone else find how Wells described the alien plant to be strangely peaceful.

Unlike the films show, he goes into description of bright blue sky’s with light breezes. Below silently the cactus like red plants sway slowly. Rising out of them once proud homes and buildings, now sit deserted and entangled in the weeds grasp.

And yet there’s still beauty to be found. Great meadows and fields stench as far as the eye can see. Rivers and streams overflow as the weed chokes them. But the narrator doesn’t get frightened by these sights. Instead he enjoys the warm sun and the cool air. There are morbid sights to be found, the skeletons of humans and animals but they are merely written down as they appear and not as horrific scenes.

Perhaps it’s due to the fast paced chaos of the first half of the book but the red landscapes of the second half almost have this strange uncanny beauty to them.

These water pitchers could be brought to a cabin upon request from a steward. Their handles were raised above the lid so that they could be hung on hooks fixed to the cabin wall, as seen in a cabin on the Olympic.

The bodies of these were normally just brass. This one being plated with nickel suggests use in 1st class.

This very rare reprint features all of the original sketches and completed illustrations. It was numbered like the original to only 500 copy’s.
