William M. Timlin was an English artist and architect known for his fantasy watercolor illustrations. The Ship that Sailed to Mars was conceived as an amusement for the author's child. With 48 pages of calligraphic text — in Timlin's hand — and 48 color plates, it is a work of stunning design, illustration, calligraphy, and overall conception. The Calla Edition also features a new introduction by John Howe, one of the two chief conceptual designers for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. The reappearance of this much-discussed title will be applauded by many fans of science fiction, fantasy, and book illustration. A Calla Edition, originally published by George G. Harrap & Co., Ltd., London, 1923.
