#PhantomsFriday Another interior illustration by Stephen Fabian for the 1977 Underwood-Miller reprint of The Eyes of the Overworld (1966) by Jack Vance. This image is from a book that collects his art. In this scene, a ghostly city and ship full of ghost revelers appeared, then disappeared.

A shimmering city with the outlines of many towers, domes, and spires is in the background. An elaborately decorated trireme with large sail is in the foreground. Many figures are dancing and playing instruments on the ship.
