@andrewfeeney I don't know if that will answer your question, but to be clear, these illustrations are from a Belgian edition of "The War of the Worlds," by H. G. Wells — who reportedly appreciated Corrêa's work.

@ClaireFromClare @medievodons @histodons No, and I believe it's not supposed to be anyone in particular. The picture is meant to illustrate the attire, and my guess is the chevrons are merely a fancy decorative addition. https://archive.org/details/dictionnairerai05violuoft/page/289/mode/1up
