Small quarto. (8)ff. With two polymergravures by Morgan which started as film photos, then videated digitally and transferred to polymer intaglio plates. The negative geometric shapes bookend the text: in one a moon-like circle recedes behind bare branches, and in the other a blacker circle dominates waves as a foreboding eclipse. The images' expressive moodiness echoes Wells' concerned warnings about humanity's possible futures. Bound in painted paper over boards with a black cloth spine. Very fine in publisher's printed jacket. Prospectus laid in.
