Flight of Fancy... Off for the Sabbot (1927)
by William Mortensen (United States, 1897-1965)

In a roll call of the pioneers of modern photography, one name is never invoked. From the late 1920s to the 1950s, William Mortensen was one of the most famous and celebrated photographers in America. However, his subject matter – which veered towards the savage, indecorous, gothic and grotesque – as well as his use of montage and illustration, made him a pariah among the puritanical new guard in photography, led by Ansel Adams, who tried to write him out of history, and even called him "The Antichrist". 

Mortensen’s methods often made it hard to distinguish whether the results were photographs or not. He used traditional printmaking techniques, such as bromoiling, and developed many of his own. He would create composite images, scratch, scrape and draw on his prints, then apply a texture that made them look like etchings, thereby disguising his manipulations. Consequently, every print was unique. Ultimately, Mortensen’s aim was to create something that, for all intents and purposes, appeared to be a photograph, yet portrayed scenes so fantastic they caused wonder and astonishment in the viewer.

Scherzo di Follia ["Game of Madness"] (c. 1863-1866)
Portrait of Countess Virginia Oldoini Verasis di Castiglione
by Pierre-Louis Pierson
French, 1822-1913

Pierre-Louis Pierson was renowned for his exquisite portrait photography. His photography studio was frequented by much of Paris high society, businessmen, and visiting diplomats. He was also the portrait photographer of the French imperial family during the apex of the Second Empire.

Many people from all walks of life and economic backgrounds posed in front of Pierson's lens, but most enduring collaboration was with the Countess of Castiglione, Virginia Oldoini Verasias, a woman who defied societal norms and expectations. He first met her in 1856, and he remained her official photographer for forty years.

Born in 1835, the Countess became a sensation in Paris in the 1850s. Her allure and beauty captured the attention of Napoleon Bonaparte's nephew, Napoleon III, and she swiftly became his mistress and a much-talked-about ornament of the lavish balls during that period. After the fall of the Second Empire in 1970, she led an increasingly secluded existence, shrouded in veils, and her mental stability declined. 

In this photograph, Countess Verasis gazes at the camera through an oval picture frame, isolating one of her eyes. The composition is both enigmatic and intriguing. The title, Scherzo di Follia (which translates to Game of Madness), adds to the mystery. Is it a playful game or a deeper exploration of her psyche?

Built with the same high‑quality construction as the rest of the line, they’re soft, breathable, and durable enough to survive even the most chaotic co‑op sessions.

Perfect for gamers, nostalgia addicts, and anyone who lives life one quarter at a time.

Some people tend roses. Others grow cucumbers. But the truly Gothic cultivate something far more eternal—a garden of the dead. These crew socks invite you to stroll among the gravestones, ponder the mysteries of mortality, and wonder aloud whether it’s really trespassing if the haunted gate was already open. The residents may be quiet, but we suspect they enjoy the company.

Made for long walks through shadowed cemeteries and casual existential crises, these socks feature combed cotton, nylon, and spandex for breathability and stretch. DOUBLE TERRY in the heel and toe adds comfort where most novelty socks fail. With a 200-needle thread count and smooth seams, they deliver high detail without the dreaded toe bump. One size fits most humans (6–13), though they may be snug on wider calves.

Unleash the mystique of ancient mythology with the Gaze of the Medusa Cast Stainless Steel Pendant Necklace. This captivating piece embodies the enigmatic allure of Medusa, one of the three legendary Gorgons of classical mythology. Crafted from durable 316L stainless steel, the highly detailed Medusa head pendant showcases the intricate features of her visage, from her piercing expression to the iconic snakes that crown her head. Known for its longevity and resistance to corrosion, this necklace is as enduring as the legend itself.

Measuring approximately 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in height, the pendant is paired with a 22-inch (55.9 cm) silver chain, resting elegantly to complement any attire. Beyond its striking aesthetic, this necklace is a powerful conversation starter, blending fashion with ancient symbolism.

In mythology, Medusa’s piercing gaze could turn onlookers to stone, and her image became a symbol of guardianship and protection. Today, she represents more than her fearsome legacy—Medusa has become a symbol of female power, resilience, and transformation, embodying the journey from victimhood to empowerment.

The Gaze of the Medusa Necklace is not just an accessory; it is a statement of strength, protection, and gothic allure, resonating with the timeless depth of Greek mythology and its modern interpretations.

Geraint and Enid Ride Away (1868)
by Gustave Doré (French, 1832-1883)

This picture illustrates the lines from Tennyson's "Enid" idyll (later "Geraint and Enid")

Mounted, and reached a hand, and on his foot
She set her own and climbed; he turned his face
And kissed her climbing, and she cast her arms
About him, and at once they rode away.
