Assorted Pictures

All but the last two pictures are of Salem, Massachusetts taken from "Chronicles of Old Salem" a book published in 1948 by Frances Diane Robotti. Robotti was a member of the American Association of University Women, The Essex Institute, and the National Writer's Club. The book was, in part, a commemoration of The Essex Institute's centenial in 1948. The images used in the book (and here) are originally from the collections of the Essex Institute. I have used them without permission for non-profit purposes. It is my intention to place a great deal more images online so that players of Call of Cthulhu (Keepers in particular) can 'get a feel' for the Mythos. I shall be placing more pictures online as soon as possible. BTW, the images below are 'thumbnails'. To see an enlarged version, select the thumbnail desired.
