#Commissions Saturday. This is not a commission precisely, as I did it for the #SDCC Souvenir book back in 2017 to celebrate #Batgirl's 75 anniversary. But it's the style I do the #ArtNoveau inspired commissions, so I thought I'd show it to you all today!

Apparently my copy of The Long Winter is where I was keeping my copy of Almanzo's name card. And I have the perfect props to go with this cover.

Now that I've read the original 1960 Camelot book, it's wild how much Joshua Logan fixes in the movie only seven years after the stage production opened on Broadway.
He cuts out the Morgan le Fay side-plot, which improves Arthur's story so much that the stage versions also started cutting her out (at least from what I understand of the timeline of events). I'm actually surprised to see she was in the original Broadway show.
He actually lets Lancelot and Guenevere have an affair — somehow not every production remembers this is important to the plot???
He fixes Merlin's character by having him disappear before the story begins, instead of having him introduced to the audience and immediately get trapped in the tree — I've talked about this more somewhere else.
They don't act like Lusty Month of May isn't about sex. Seriously, this song does not work when it's sung all sweet and innocent, read the assignment.
The scene of Arthur, Genny, and Lance discussing Mordred. HUGE moment for the trio. I honestly think you shouldn't be allowed to stage Camelot without including this scene.
This part of the original book really pissed me off: when Genny is agonising that one day Arthur's face may show forgiveness for her again but she won't be there to see it, she finishes off by looking up at him and saying he is showing forgiveness she wished for. NOOOOOOOO this is so wrong. The whole point is that she is reaping the consequences of her actions. She has lost Arthur, lost Camelot, and she will not be with him on the day that he forgives her. The movie fixes this scene, with a phenomenal performance from Vanessa Redgrave, retaining the sense of loss that makes it so powerful.
And, for the previous point and for her entire arc, Joshua Logan was right to make Genny more active participant in her own affair. (and I am not just saying that as a Lance/Genny truther!!!) For me, productions that don't show her pursue Lance at all, or only have her show disdain for him on stage, feel like torture porn. Like here is this woman being relentlessly pursued by this man and now she is the one that will be punished. In the movie, Genny and Lance participate equally in the affair, allowing her own choices to decide her fate.
Anyway, this is longer than it was supposed to be, and I remain the target audience of my own posts, but I adore this movie and genuinely believe it's the best version of Camelot out there

For #WombatWednesday:
Tumblr media
Postcard - Common or Naked-nosed Wombat, Vombatus hirsutus (Perry), illustration by George Browning, c.1950 W 133 x H 89 mm Museums Victoria HT 31117
"One of a series of postcards released by The National Museum of Victoria following the publication of 'The Mammals of Victoria' by Charles Walter Brazenor, Curator of Mammals in 1950. This image of the Common or Naked-nosed Wombat featured on page 45 of the book. The illustrations are by George Browning whom worked as a staff art officer at various times. Browning is perhaps best known for his work on Dioramas both at the National Museum of Victoria and at the War Memorial in Canberra. The postcards feature native Victorian Mammals but have no detailed information about each species, perhaps as a teaser for visitors to buy the publication. The series was sold in an accompanying envelope as a sourvenir token sold in the Museum shop. This was probably a particularly short run series as it has not been seen other than this set."
