This week, more night views of Providence, this time as the young Lovecraft would have known it on night-walks. These two are early 1914 views made by the Providence artist Whitman Bailey (1884-1954). Lovecraft then aged in his early 20s.

Prospect Terrace was, of course, one of Lovecraft’s favourite places in his city. Neither picture is in my Whitman Bailey ebook collection, available here.
