![]() I cannot forget Carcosa where black stars hang in the heavens where the shadows of men's thoughts lengthen in the afternoon, when the twin suns sink into the lake of Hali and my mind will bear for ever the memory of the Pallid Mask. ![]() ![]() The Pallid Mask, associated with “Death and the awful abode of lost souls," appears first in the story, “The Repairer of Reputations”: While not necessarily directly related to The King in Yellow, the illustration has resonances with that classic work of supernatural fiction, and particularly, we think, with the powerful and terrifying figure in the Pallid Mask. Unframed.Įxecuted in black and gray and highlighted in white, this untitled work by Chambers depicts an armed, greaved and gauntleted figure in a tattered robe whose pale, pulpy face is turned toward a barred window. Small loss, not affecting image and somewhat dusty. ![]() Grotesque doodles in pencil to the margin. Original gouache illustration in black and gray, signed 35 x 25 cm. ![]()
