Watch out for black cats, don’t walk under a ladder–and listen carefully for the beating of a tell-tale heart!

John Henry Ingram (1842–1916) was an English biographer and editor with a special interest in Edgar Allan Poe. Ingram hoped to rehabilitate Poe’s character and literary reputation by demolishing an uncomplimentary biography by Rufus W. Griswold.

His collection—magazine and newspaper articles, photographs, letters, documents (1817–1916), and an unpublished biography on Edgar Allan Poe—can be found at the Alderman Library of the University of Virginia. Poe attended UVA briefly as an undergraduate in 1826.

Also among these papers was the “Stella” daguerreotype, one of only eight known photographic plates of Edgar Allan Poe. In 1973, it was discovered the portrait had been stolen. The daguerreotype has never been recovered–a piece of very bad luck!

In the 1960s, the NPRC endorsed a project to make these records accessible through microfilm, along with a 31-page guide to the holdings.
