Photo Overview
H.G. Wells, the renowned English writer and novelist, is pictured upon his arrival in New York on May 3rd aboard the S.S. Washington. Dressed in a heavy coat, Wells appears contemplative as he stands near a ship's doorway. This marks his first visit to the United States in several years.
H.G. Wells is best known for his works of science fiction, including "War of the Worlds," "The Time Machine," and "Things to Come." His influence extends beyond literature into radio, film, and comics. During this period, Wells expressed concerns about the dramatization of his stories in media, particularly following incidents like the 1938 broadcast of "War of the Worlds" by Orson Welles, which incited public panic.
