I love this style of genuine, enthusiastic illustration in 20th century genre pulps. I believe we have in this one The Demoiselle d'Ys, the Maker of Moons, and the King in Yellow. I'm not certain who the monk in the upper right is, and the lower left most likely depicts the titular demoiselle's chateau.
