Snagged from an eBay listing of a rare chapbook printing of a poem to Moe. I’ve never seen this photo before, featuring Maurice Moe and Lovecraft in the warm months of 1936…
Moe looks rather short, but I think it’s just an optical illusion? Lovecraft was quite tall, especially for a time when people tended to be shorter than they are now. So, by comparison, Moe looks short?
Lovecraft was 5’11”, Moe looks to be about… what? 6-8 inches shorter? Yeah, that’s not very tall.
Anyway, big thanks! I’ve never seen this photo before.
BTW: Hi, I’m Martin. We had an FB conversation on the Ms. of “The Call of Cthulhu” recently.

Ok, I guess the illusion is on my side of the screen. We always want our heroes to be ‘larger than life’ 🙂
