    I actually had some of those glasses that Nathaniel is wearing in his portrait !
    I found them at an estate in DC when I lived their back in the 80's.
    Both had the same shape . I had one pair in green with brass frames and a dark blue pair that had their frames made of blued steel.
    Very interesting doc !

      Interesting! They certainly look cool and Nathaniel obviously likes wearing his. Glad you liked the video.

    I work on labels at the Cleveland Museum of Art and this video has been brought to our attention. The information has been rewritten and will change soon.

      I see the change has been made and the argand lamp is gone, on the CMA website at least, which is presumably mirrored in the labels. The account is given is much more balanced now. Good to see this action from the CMA.

      @ As a graphic designer I handle labels and can assure you the label change was made asap (a day after) this video was brought to our attention. We all had a good laugh. Thank you!

    His wolly caterpillar eyebrows are fantastically outrageous.

    Mr Olds surely looks the devil from Poe’s story! Whatever the “real” reason he had those spex, lads: look at that hair - he was a character

    The glasses distract from his deformed sloping shoulders.
