Bruce Pennington: Eschatus


Year: 1976
Publisher: Paper Tiger/Dragon´s World
ISBN: 0905895053
Content: 96 pages with around 40 colour illustrations

Bruce Pennington started illustrating classics from Robert Heinlein and Frank Herbert back in the sixties, and moved on to fantasy and horror covers for Lovecraft and others in the seventies. This led to the publication of his first artbook, Eschatus, illustrating passages from the (in)famous visions of Nostradamus...

The book itself has been published in various forms (hardcover, softcover, bookclub edition, at least one - german - translation) and is still from time to time available at the usual online marketplaces. Some images and an online review from the artist himself can be found on his page.

Bruce Pennington later published another collection with Paper Tiger (Ultraterranium) as well as an oversized Posterbook and an undersized Minibook.

I wonder, if Nostradamus had foreseen this...
