Battle of Sidney Street occurred in January 1911. King George V was coronated on Jun 22, 1911. So that was a rather bothersome way to say the first half of the year 1911...

The J.H.V.S. Syndicate was also mentioned in Machen's story "Opening the Door". As is the case of Campo Tosto of Burnt Green. Interesting that he has a sort of continuity between stories with these bits.

The pictures used are:

Chapter 1: "Abstract Painting #1" by Zelgeon, used here under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/).

Chapter 2: "Fantasy Landscape" by AtTheSpeedOf, used here under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/). No water, no person, but I feel like it does more or less capture the essence of the paintings being described?

Chapter 3: "Houses of Parliament in the Fog" by Claude Monet, oil on canvas, 1903

Chapter 4: the so-called "Apeman of the Amazon", from 1937
