Britain pictures - poppets at Victory

Pictures of my Jack and Stephen poppets, lovingly posed by [personal profile] des_pudels_kern.



Poor Jack!  This made everyone say, "Awwwwww!"  The plaque on the quarterdeck reads:
Here Nelson Fell
21st Oct 1805.

(I just realized, that plaque would make a good crayon rubbing.  Probably lots of people have done that.)


Stephen finds his station in the sick berth.  (Bless him!)


Jack stations himself at the guns.


Until he suffers an injury and must be carried to his cot! 
Not really.  He's just suffering the emotional aftereffects of Nelson's death, poor dear.


And then Stephen goes below to take care of his own curious emotions, the lamb.




Poor creatures!  I hate to leave them in such a sad state, so I'll leave you with this happier image. 
This picture looks strangely fake, like they were posed in front of a photo backdrop.  But I assure you, it's real!

They were very nice guides indeed! (Much nicer than snarky docents in the NMM. Not that I really mind - much. I know they have the museum and its objects' wellbeing at heart.) I did notice a guide looking askance at dpk and me when we were posing the laudanum pictures, but maybe he was just curious.
