This image of Royale model, Ron Wiltshire, tied to a column as Saint Sebastian
is amongst a number of recent posts at the Royale Archive.
This picture wasn't actually taken by Royale, but probably by Domenique.
He had a reputation in his day for coming on to his models,
Maybe this is how he did it!
For those into the background of Royale's operation, a catalogue sheet from the Hussar period which I recently discovered has filled in information about this later period, notably the 'Sailors in the Rigging' sets which have been very elusive up until now.
