Note: First published in the 1906 French-language translation of The War of the Worlds, one in a set of illustrations as by Alvim-Corrêa (see). The Wikimedia image (Commons.wikimedia.org) is lead illustration for English Wikipedia article "Fighting machine (The War of the Worlds)" and also illustrates the fictional ship article "HMS Thunder Child". (In the novel Thunder Child is a torpedo ram, low to the water unlike the warships of its illustrators. The fictional ship article is a good point of entry.)
