The Lords of Montfoort, anonymous, c. 1400
Four Dutch knights kneel before the Virgin. The first three died in 1345 in the Battle of Warns against the Frisians; the fourth was badly wounded. Behind them stands Saint George, their patron saint. The coats of arms above them show that they belong to the De Rover family of Montfoort. The painting is a ‘commemorative panel’ to honour their memory.

Worlds of IF (April 1956)

There's a good essay out there about why the bad guys in some SF/Fantasy tend to be effeminate dandies with elaborate hair and clothes. Someone find it?

The story I'm getting is … the woman is going to be executed by firing squad? But Evil Liberace wants to do it personally?

Amazing Stories vol. 29, no. 4 (July 1955)

Authentic Science Fiction #40 (December 1953)

This one is a little dull but I like the depiction of Mars with the gradients and the shadows, chiaroscuro or whatever. "His first planet"? Huh?

This is a UK magazine, going by the one-shilling-and-sixpence price tag.
