LOVECRAFT AS AN ILLUSTRATOR [[illustration]] [[underlined]]Cthulhu[[end underline]] June 8 1934 H.P. Lovecraft (The following excerpts, and the accompanying textual illustrations are taken from a letter written by H. P. Lovecraft in 1934, and are wholly new to print. We apologise for the gross ineptness of the stencilling, but it must be remembered that Lovecraft's drawing style does not lend itself well to mimeograph reproduction. We regret the omission of [[underline]]The Blasted Heath[[end underline]], but this sketch was included in the body of the letter, and the writing on the back precluded successful tracing. Lovecraft himself would have been the first to dismiss his sketchings as being serious art, but we feel that his followers will be deeply interested in his pictorial conception of two of his most striking entities. This material appears in these pages through the courtesy of Franklin Lee Baldwin, the original recipient of the letter.)
