Blackadder: A prop portrait of 'Queenie' from Blackadder - A Christmas Carol,

1988,
the photographic portrait printed on canvas, with some hand-finishing, hole to centre, 34 x 44½ inches (86.5x113cm)

Footnotes

In this special edition of the programme, Edmund Blackadder intends to give this portrait to Queenie as a present but she abolishes Christmas. Frustrated and annoyed, Blackadder then punches through the canvas and hits the unfortunate Baldrick who is holding the portrait.

The vendor was a member of a small audience at some retakes for the show at BBC TV's Shepherds Bush studios. It was given to him by Richard Curtis.
