The Time Machine, H.G.Wells (1895). Conceptual cover designs for the science fiction classic: When a Victorian scientist propels himself into the year A.D.802,701, he is initially delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty, contentment, and peace. Entranced by the Eloi, he soon realizes these people are fearful remnants of a once-great culture. In tunnels beneath them a predatory race lurks—the sinister Morlocks. When the scientist’s time machine vanishes, he must search the tunnels if he is ever to return home.
