Rare photos of writers, little-known and well-known too

[fluteboy]

Hi Folks!
As one of admins and bibliographers of our russian bibliographic and recommendation site Laboratory of Fantastika, I ask to help us with search of photos, portraits, any images of several dozens writers.
It's impossible - to find their photos in the Net, or it's very very hard.
I will accept advice, the links, scanned or photographed materials, any help!

T. E. D. Klein (b. 1947)
?

Gary Myers (b. 1952)
Author of "The House of the Worm" and "Dark Wisdom".
?

Alex Hamilton (b. 1930)
Author of "Beam of Malice" and "Flies on the Wall".
?

Leonard Cline (1893 - 1929)
Author of "The Dark Chamber".
?

Nugent Barker (1888 - 1955)
As far as I know - dustjacket of his original edition of "Written With My Left Hand" (1951) has been with the b/w photo on the back side. Is it author? Anybody have this one?

William Fryer Harvey (1885 - 1937)
One small photo only?

John Metcalfe (1891 - 1965)

Afaik - several Metcalfe's pics has been included in this book - "Yaddo: making American culture" (2008), pp 126-128.

Charles G. Finney (1905 - 1984)
One photo, very small and poor, from unknown source.
Don't confuse with Charles Grandison Finney (1792 - 1875), famous evangelist.

And even more rare names, their photo I do not hope to find -
E.G.Swain, A. N. L. Munby, Jane Rice, Nictzin Dyalhis, Harold Lawlor etc. etc.

I started not the easiest theme, and probably I risk to not receive answers here at all. But I hope anyway...
Thanks in advance!

Here's a couple:

No copyright claim made by me on those, naturally.

Oh crikey, I see that you already have the Birkin, which is the one I passed over to my chums over at the vault...;)

Here's the Nugent Barker picture for you - it is from a portrait by Ian Tillard. (It may need to be de-screened). I wish we knew more about the author.
All the best

AN.L. Munby was a librarian at Kings College, Cambridge and quite a distinguished scholar, perphaps something could be found that way. As for E.G. Swain the best place I can think of to look would be the frontis piece of the Ash-tree collection. If you emailed Barbara Roden I'm sure she would be happy to tell you if she knows of any. Of all living people she probably knows the most about H.R. Wakefield as well.

EDIT: Actuelly, thinking about it, for both of these and any other author with a conection to Kings or the M.R. James circle, you should try contacting Rosemary Pardoe who runs the Ghosts & Scholars Newsletter. In the past G&S has featured articles on both of them not to mention other more obscure ghost story writers.

Her email address is: Pardoesnospam@globalnet.co.uk

Great thanks!
First time I see Klein's pic, enigmatic author!
Only one story has been translated on russian, late "Growing Things". But I've read two or three more, on english, and recently found long S.T. Joshi essay on his works.

I can use them for our FantLab pages? With obligatory reference to you, of course.

By the way... Mark, we try to compile your bibliography too, page with complete list of your publications.
Two photos only I can find in the web - on Shadow-Writer and on FantasticFiction. Is it good pics?
And sadly, as well as with T.E.D. Klein - only one of many your stories and novellas has been translated on russian by the current moment. "Glyphotech", in Best New Horror #17 - strong and serious story, received very good responses on our site.

Yeah, so little known about him. Very original writer.
Ray, great thanks for the link but I can see it in quoted reply only, and can't open it...

Ian Tillard - well, I have found only one mention of his other b/w painting, of a cardiophobic patient.

Perhaps only I'm able to open it because my photos on TLO are private. If you'd like to send me a private message, with your email address, I'll send it to you as an attachment.

Yes, I know. We have quite good review of his stories and short bio -
Munby
But not photo yet.
I'll try this way, thanks.

And great thanks for mentions of Barbara Roden and Rosemary Pardoe. Good advice!
