William M. Timlin (1892 1943) was born in Northumberland but spent most of his life in South Africa. Timlin was a highly skilled writer and illustrator and also earned a living as an architect, and his aptitude in that field are clear to see in the beautiful, detailed, fantasy buildings that are abound in this title. The Ship that Sailed to Mars is a wonderfully whimsical blend of science fiction and fantasy, the profusely illustrated interstellar adventure taking the reader to planets full of pirates, fairies, and dragons. Upon receiving the hand lettered manuscript, George Harrap liked it so much that they decided to publish it as it was instead of using typed text.

Zustand: Very good. First Edition. First edition of this gorgeous outlier of the Golden Age of Illustration, a fully realized fantasy of interplanetary travel written and illustrated by South African architect William Timlin. An Old Man fulfills the dream of his youth, "sailing by way of the Moon, and the more friendly planets" on his way to the Shining City of Mars. The ship of the title, designed by the aged engineer but built by fairies, captures the tale's balance of science fiction and fantasy: one iconic plate depicts the ship, whose design hearkens back to the Age of Discovery, outrunning the magnificent flare of a meteor.

First edition. Timlin's only book, this mix of science fiction and fairy tale is a "masterpiece. His watercolours equal the best work of Arthur Rackham and W. Heath Robinson" (Dalby, p. 102). In 1921, Timlin (1892-1943), a British architect working in South Africa, began to write The Ship that Sailed to Mars as a project to distract his young son. The task became an increasingly ambitious endeavour, and, after two years of work, Timlin sent it to George Harrap. The publishers decided to produce it in a lavish edition of 2,000 copies. Of these, 250 were sent to the US and published simultaneously. Timlin also contributed illustrations to various periodicals and travel books.
