The Maracot Deep x 2

Two more illustrations from Conan Doyle's Atlantean adventure novel The Maracot Deep, serialised in The Strand in 1927-28. In the first a lobster monster clamps down on the diving bell and in the second an Atlantean lady bobs up to the surface in a big glass aqualung-type thang.

The Maracot Deep

Colourful front cover to the October 1927 edition of The Strand Magazine plugging the first instalment of Conan Doyle's The Maracot Deep. Another Atlantis story - there were a few of these in The Strand in the twenties for some reason - and not a patch on The Lost World. There's bound to be a few good illos from it, though.
