Barcelona 1908: Lovecraft parallels


Julio tipped me off to this rare film. Sadly, there is no way to embed the film, so you have to go and run it yourself. I did a screen capture of one brief moment. Lovecraft loved antiquarianism, and fell in love with St. Augustine. Barcelona would have sent him to ecstacy. Imagine, HPL on a bicycle as an 18 year old, peddling through the streets, or riding the tram cars! Maybe, had his grandfather lived, Barcelona would have been an easy trip to study astronomy?

Thanks, Julio.

{And YOU should consider joining the HPL Group. We talk about numerous Lovecraftian things, get news ahead of many others, and discuss the ramifications of Lovecraft's relevancy of today. Also, there are exclusive files tucked away for members. No fee, no hassle, no worries.)
