Concept Art for “When the sleeper wakes” by H. G. Wells (1889)

Three pencil sketches as concept art for the illustrations on “A cool vista of blue and purple” inspired by “The Awakening” in “When the Sleeper wakes” by H. G. Wells (1899).

“The passage ran down a cool vista of blue and purple, and ended remotely in a railed space like a balcony, brightly lit and projecting into a space of haze, a space like the interior of some gigantic building. Beyond and remote were vast and vague architectural forms.”
