Description |
Amateur Correspondent was a science fiction and fantasy fanzine edited by Corwin F. Stickney. Three issues of the Amateur Correspondent were published in 1937 in Belleville, New Jersey. It had evolved from the fanzine Science-Fantasy Correspondent (three issues, 1936-1937), edited by Willis Conover, who ceased publishing after the death of H. P. Lovecraft, with whom he has been corresponding. He gave the material he had collected for his fanzine to Stickney for Amateur Correspondent, including the portrait of Lovecraft he had commissioned from artist Virgil Finlay. This famous portrait of Lovecraft depicts the author as an eighteenth-century bewigged gentleman, while behind Lovecraft swarm the horrors of his imagination. The first issue was published in May-June 1937, with the volume and issue numbering continued from the last issue of Science-Fantasy Correspondent. Contributors included Willis Conover, Robert F. Ennis, Jack E. Fry, H. P. Lovecraft, E. Hoffman Price, and John C. Sidenius. This issue features the first publication of the essay, "Notes On Writing Weird Fiction", by H. P. Lovecraft, and an essay on Lovecraft by Price ("The Sage Of College Street"). Oddly, it also included a section on hobbies with two articles on stamp collecting. In 1977, a facsimile reprint of the issue was published by Necronomicon Press in a limited edition of 525 copies.

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
