Yes, yes, I'll promise to end my October fascination with tintypes, ambrotypes and all that is Victoriana on the 31st October. However, until then, to put you in the mood for tonight's broadcast of Edgar Allan Poe: Love, Death and Women on BBC4 at 9pm, here's a suitable image of a tintype brooch - most probably a mourning brooch. Unfortunately, the chap who is immortalised by camera is unknown. After that, dear viewer, stay seated, as the marvellously dark Mr Mark Gatiss presents A History of Horror:Home Counties Horror. How splendid.
