H.P.Lovecraft and Frank Belknap Long

H.P. Lovecraft and Frank Belknap Long sparring in Brooklyn 7/11/1931

This is a charming photograph of my favourite author of weird and cosmic horror – H.P.Lovecraft. Taken in Brooklyn in 1931, it’s a unique image of a man who has so few photographs publically available of him in life. What’s even more unique is the fact he looks to be positively enjoying himself, first time I’ve ever seen such an image.

Huge thanks to H.P.Lovecraft (Facebook Fan Page) for sharing this gem.
