Images and permissions
Only images owned by the Estate or specifically cleared for the intended editorial use can be released through the Estate. A portrait’s presence on this website is not a press licence. National Portrait Gallery reproductions, including the Downey portrait, have their own rights and conditions.
For the Estate’s photograph of Bran Castle, request the original file, intended use and required credit from the media contact above. Credit: Courtesy of the Bram Stoker Estate. A modern photograph of Bran illustrates that location; it is not evidence that Bran was the setting Bram chose for his fictional castle.
