The Last Portrait of Neville Colmore, 1900's.
A Scottish adventurer, inventor, and photographer named Neville Colmore claimed to have constructed a device capable of "...parting the veil of Faery...". The device, which he called the "Spectobarathrum", produced beautiful photo graphic plates he called "fatagravures", through a now lost process. The original "Spectobarathrum" along with all of the images he claimed to have made were believed destroyed in a fire.This fatagravure plate was taken from Neville Colmore's Spectobarathrum after the tragic fire. It is the last known portrait of the famed fataologist and photographic pioneer. It is not known if it is a self portrait or if it was taken by an assistant.
