Good condition. In 1948 a postcard illustration competition for "fan artists" was held by the Portland Science Fantasy Society in which ten winners were chosen; the winning illustrations were then reproduced as lithographed postcards. Following their publication, the author of this booklet, Dr. David H. Keller, decided that a story could be written tying all the illustrations together. Keller wove together this diverse set of illustrations to create a strange and fantastical tale of a doomed earth. David H. Keller was a physician and author of science fiction and fantasy magazines. Signatures found in this booklet belong to Donald B. Day, author, illustrator and editor of the science fiction fanzine, The Fanscient, and Ralph Rayburn Phillips, fantasy illustrator who contributed to publications such as Destiny: Tales in Science-Fantasy, Challenge, The Fanscient, Shanadu and others.
