War of The Worlds H G Wells Science Fiction Poster

War of The Worlds H G Wells Science Fiction Poster I have added some amber tints to the original War of The Worlds illustration from 1906. I think it enhances the mood of the Martian tripod invaders attacks in the countryside of the UK. The War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells, first serialised in 1897 by Pearson's Magazine in the UK and by Cosmopolitan magazine in the US. The novel's first appearance in hardcover was in 1898 from publisher William Heinemann of London. Written between 1895 and 1897, it is one of the earliest stories to detail a conflict between mankind and an extra-terrestrial race. The novel is the first-person narrative of both an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and of his younger brother in London as southern England is invaded by Martians. The novel is one of the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon.
