HLPS Atlas Italic is close to your sample. It, and a bunch of other period fonts can be found here:

Note that these fonts have all been scanned from period advertisements, newspapers, documents, etc. Their target audience is a mix of prop makers and H.P Lovecraft reenactors(!) These are pretty rough, but their warts-and-all may be part of their attraction.
