Living Buddhess

In the future...clothing will be scarce

Some more orientalism on the cover of the November 1937 Weird Tales by Margaret Brundage. Virgil Finlay did a lot of interior illustration on this issue as well. The interior illustration he did for Seabury Quinn’s “Living Buddhess” cover story has perhaps not aged well, and not just in the sense that the paper on which it was printed did not age well.

“Atop the perfect, cream-white body was another face, an old face, a wicked face, face with Mongoloid features.”

This issue of Weird Tales is available to read or download at the Internet Archive.
