H.G. Wells published his book 'The War of the Worlds' in 1898. He became famous for his science fiction stories and novels - he even invented the name 'science fiction'.
His descriptions of the tripods are very graphic, and the picture Scetoaux found is very obviously based on those descriptions. Go to Google Images and look for Martian Tripods, and you will find dozens of very similar interpretations.
There used to be a good model by Erwin de Jong, based on Jeff Wayne's Musical version of WotW. Ihave the file - perhaps it is still available somewhere on the net. PM me and give me your mail address if you want it.
