Fezziwig?

So, this cover by Normal Rockwell from "The Saturday Evening Post" issue of December, 8, 1928 is Mr. & Mrs. Fezziwig, right?

Must be!

Tiny Tim!

Here's an interesting portrait of Tiny Tim:

It's a postcard from the early 1900s with art by Herbert Beecroft.

That's about all I know about it!

Other Soundtrack!

Here's the soundtrack album of the 1999 Patrick Stewart TV-movie:

Definitely not the 1984 one - just thought I'd point that out!

Soundtrack!

This soundtrack album released long after the initial release of the 1984 George C. Scott TV-movie looks intriguing:

Nice cover!

The CD seems to have had a limited pressing in 2017.

Word is that it's really good, but there are a lot of inferior products that confuse the issue.

For example, on Amazon, it looks like there are reviews from other albums mixed in and if you try to steam it, it redirects over to the soundtrack for the 1999 Patrick Stewart TV-movie!

Oh, well!

Met Our Match!

Here's something really cool - matchbooks with images of "A Christmas Carol":

I don't know when they're from, but they're awesome!

Most fascinating thing is that the three ghosts are drawn as traditional ghosts!

Pausing to Refresh!

Now, this must be during a break on the set of "Shower of Stars" if you notice the beverage that Fredric March is sipping:

It appears to be that particular product with which we see Santa Claus pausing to refresh himself in numerous ads during the holiday season!

Ah, yes, this close-up of the bottle confirms it:

Is Scrooge watching his calories?

A Shower of Color!

So, what do you suppose the deal is with this color still from the "Shower of Stars" presentation of "A Christmas Carol" from 1954?

The initial broadcast was in color, but this isn't very colorful!

It seems posed rather than a screen grab.

Is it tinted? Probably not, as why would anyone tint this particular picture?

Is it just really faded?
