War of the Worlds Postcard I

The opening of H. G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds, reconstructed from individually cut fragments of text.

“No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s…”

The lettering is taken from the printed page and reassembled over a distressed, archival-style background, with the title and author similarly fragmented beneath.

A small piece of literary artwork designed to be sent, kept, pinned up or framed.
