In 1909, he became resident gift book illustrator for MacMillan and produced illustrations for The Water Babies, Green Willow, and Other Japanese Fairy Tales, The Complete Poetical Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Stories from the Pentamerone, Folk Tales of Bengal, The Fairy Book, and The Book of Fairy Poetry. During World War I, he was employed in the drawing office of Woolrich Arsenal... He worked occasionally for New York MacMillan, and produced editions of Treasure Island and Kidnapped. Goble gradually gave up illustration to pursue sculling, cycling, and travelling. He died in his Surrey home in 1943. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warwick_Goble) It was in 1989 that Goble hit the big time, after being commissioned to illustrate H.G. Well's infamous story The War of the Worlds. Goble's work went alongside the serialized edition in Pearson's Magazine, which ended up being shorter than the complete novel. His work was the first to bring Wells' story to life, informing subsequent artists who would render the martians and their terrifying tripod walkers....
