Henrique Alvim Corrêa (30 January 1876 – 7 June 1910) was a Brazilian illustrator of military and science fiction books. He was born in Rio de Janeiro, and died in Brussels. He is best known for his illustrations of a 1906 French translation of H. G. Wells‘s novel The War of the Worlds. In 1903, he executed a series of 132 notable illustrations, 32 of which were inserted in the book The War of the Worlds, by H. G. Wells, to whom he personally requested authorization. After the author’s approval in 1905, who considers the work superior to that of Warwick Goble, Corrêa’s work was published in a luxury edition printed in 500 copies in 1906 by L. Vandamme & Cie in a French translation by HD Davray. All of these illustrations are the strength of his work. In Brazil, his work is generally classified as being Pre-Modernist.
