A ghost story by Kipling

I am in need of the original Wilhelm Kühne 19th century editions. These so far have been on loan from libraries


If you are aware of any further publications or films not in my library, do let me know


The Eye of Fate, Alice M. Meadows

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crimson_Horror


An episode of Dr Who that refers to the optogram in its plot,  although not technically correct, it fits into the idea of the myth of optography as a photograph taken from outside the eye, instead of the removed retina.
