| The text inspired the picture. It is actually taken from a book called 'The Battle of Dorking' - an early example of 'invasion literature' and certainly available to H G Wells pre writing of 'War of the Worlds' - so the picture is a kind of homage to his imagination (what I like to think came to mind when reading it). Other than that, alot of artistic license with all elements of the picture - there is a fine tradition with 'pulp-ish' illustration and literature of getting the historical/cultural/technical details a bit mixed up (often wrong) - at least, that is my excuse! Thanks for looking. |
