hi! this may have been asked before so if it has I am sorry!
do you know anything about the glasses that crowley wears in 1862?
thank you😊
Hiya! I only know that Crowley's look was inspired by the look Vincent Price had in the 1964 american horror film Tomb of Ligeia :)
(fun fact: Vincent Price is the same actor who plays the witch hunter in the Witchfinder General movie that is played in the background when Shadwell meets Crowley in the cafe:

Corman/Poe: Interviews and Essays Exploring the Making of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe Films, 1960-1964 by horror journalist Chris Alexander is out now in paperback and e-book via Headpress.
It explores the series of eight Edgar Allan Poe adaptions directed by Roger Corman: House of Usher, The Pit and The Pendulum, Tales of Terror, Premature Burial, The Raven, The Haunted Palace, The Masque of the Red Death, and Tomb of Ligeia.
The 150-page book features in-depth interviews with Corman book-ended by critical analyses of each of the eight films along with photographs and stills. Corman also provides a foreword.
Produced on modest budgets for American International Pictures, Roger Corman's adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories were popular in their time as escapist horror cinema. Most starred horror icon Vincent Price and were written (and "freely adapted") by the likes of Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont and Robert Towne. Today the series is recognized as unique and sophisticated, one that delivers decadent Gothic chills while exploring ideas of faith, sexuality, psychology and the supernatural.
Corman/Poe: Interviews and Essays Exploring the Making of Roger Corman’s Edgar Allan Poe Films, 1960–1964 is the only book to fully examine this important chapter in horror film history. In-depth conversations with the maverick Roger Corman are book-ended by engaging critical analyses of each of the eight films, which together stand as a fully realized and consistent creative vision.
The book is illustrated with dozens of photographs and stills, many of which have never been published before, and features a brand-new foreword from Corman.
Order Corman/Poe by Chris Alexander.

The Tomb of Ligeia (1964) dir. by Roger Corman
Have you ever tried to recall a memory, something forgotten? Being upon the very edge of remembrance and yet in the end being unable to remember?

In love with these posters that I will assume are quite rare. Arguably the Price/Corman team’s greatest Poe film, the haunting 2nd image is from Poland.
