Okay, I am TERRIBLE at reading handwriting -- can someone help me out with the caption?
What I'm getting is:
"To R. H. Barlow, Esq., ___ [whose?] Sculpture hath given Incarnatality [Immortality?] to this trivial [____] (looks like Da___) of his oblig'd obdt Servt.
11th May, 1934
Cthulhu
H.P. Lovecraft"
Can anyone who is good at antique penmanship give me a translation on this one? It is tantalizingly hard to make out!
Also, wow -- that is SO COOL.
<3!!!
