Alvim Corrêa's War of the Worlds Warship, French 1906 Edition p.137

Brazilian-born artist Henrique Alvim Corrêa, whose expressive pen-and-ink draftsmanship for the 1906 Belgian edition of H.G. Wells's 'La Guerre des Mondes' is widely considered the finest illustration of that novel, renders here a heavily armored warship cutting through churning seas with urgent, scratchy cross-hatching. The vessel's superstructure looms dark and ominous, bristling with masts and rigging, its wake rendered in violent gestural strokes that convey speed and menace — a human naval behemoth likely doomed against Martian invaders.
