An illustration by Stephen Lawrence from a 1946 edition of 'Famous Fantastic Mysteries'. It shows the Black Seal, a tablet carved with strange cuneiform characters, with a weird tentacled creature wrapped around it.
"I am going now to the final trial and encounter. I shall have the Black Seal and the knowledge of its secrets to help me, and if I unhappily do not return from my journey, there is no need to conjure up here a picture of the awfulness of my fate."
- Arthur #Machen, 'The Black Seal'
