This vivid, sumptuous and surprising book, H. G. Wells: A Time Traveler’s Life, overflows with dazzling art and eloquent connections to capture the modern imagination.

“The magnificent effect of Rex Parker’s H. G. Wells illustrations lies in their success in capturing both the visual quality of Wells’s imagination and the visionary nature of his ideas,” observes Professor Simon J. James.

This very limited first edition also commemorates the 125th anniversary of H. G. Wells’s remarkable first novel, The Time Machine. But that’s just the beginning of a story that’s as much tapestry as tale.

H. G. Wells: A Time Traveler’s Life is presented in a spectacular, unbound, large-format edition, housed in an elegant cherry wood case handcrafted by artisans in Vermont. Each colorful, frameworthy, museum-quality giclée page is printed on fine art archival paper and is individually hand-numbered and signed by the artist Rex Parker.

These meticulous, exuberant illustrations, and the fascinating stories behind them, transport collectors to Wells’s amazing, often-prescient world of imagination — and the very real people who shared it. H.G. Wells: A Time Traveler’s Life celebrates his thrilling era of iconic designers, writers, scientists, space explorers, world leaders, and one Invisible Man. This unique exploration of culture and human possibility is not to be missed. Come along!
