War of the Worlds, artwork
War of the Worlds. Artwork showing alien flying machines invading 21st-century London, England. They are destroying the London Eye (also known as the Millennium Wheel) and Westminster Bridge, on the River Thames. The Houses of Parliament are on the right-hand side of the river. This artwork is a modern adaptation of the descriptions from the science-fiction novel The War of the Worlds (1898) by the British author H. G. Wells (1866-1946). In this novel, England is invaded by aliens from the planet Mars. For a set of images showing this invasion, in both Victorian and modern times, see S920/241 to S920/243.
