Extracted and cleaned by me from a new magazine upload at Archive.org, here is transport as it was envisioned in Lovecraft’s final year by an illustrator whose name appears to be “Glenn Grore”…

… made all the more interesting today by the slightly sinister black beetle-shape of the car in the bottom-left (one thinks of the “beetle-race” that Lovecraft had supplanting humanity), and the glimpse of a giant airship in the top-left.

Possibly this could give a creative lead for a book-cover designer, considering how best to tackle a book collection of the very best of Lovecraft’s many travel accounts? I imagine such a book as being accounts of the vehicles and travel itself, rather than the destinations. This would not be without some weird interest, for instance his letter recounting a nightmare involving waiting for a sinister tram-car to start. Such a project might appeal to those who are interested both in vintage transport and transport-history, and in Lovecraft-the-man.
