My original tumblr post was here. These covers by Ed Valigursky were posted by Modernizor and attributed to a blog The Geeky Nerfherder. I don’t know for certain exactly which post was the source, although this one, which has a huge number of images, is a likely candidate.

Tumblr favorite #2098: The hand of glory
My original tumblr post was here. This pulp cover was first posted on tumblr by UDHCMH who added this commentary:
Weird Tales, July 1933, featuring the Seabury Quinn story “The Hand of Glory.”
Illuminati burglars use a “hand of glory” to steal a magical artifact from an archaeologist. The thieves use the object’s weird powers to lure an innocent young beauty into the clutches of a cult that worships a hermaphroditic demon from ancient times. Only paranormal detective Jules de Grandin and the unflappable Dr. Trowbridge can save the young woman and deliver cult-infested Harrisonville NJ from its latest peril.
The artist isn’t specified, but by the style I would guess Margaret Brundage.
