Stunning artwork by Arthur Severn for 'The Devil's Motor' a 'fantasy' by best selling author Marie Corelli, 1910. Perhaps one of those prophetic glimpses into the future anticipating their unfortunate contribution to ecological decline.?

I've always loved this painting entitled 'Will o' the Wisp' because it's so deranged. The artist (deep breath) Gottlieb Theodor von Kempf - Hartenkampf (1871-1964) is described online as 'A Realist' & the rest of his work is resolutely sane, mores the pity.
