This photograph was taken during the early part of a plenary paper by Louise D’Arcens of the University of Wollongong titled ‘Comic Medievalism: Why and How the Middle Ages make us Laugh’. The paper was presented at the PMRG/CMEMS conference ‘Receptions: Medieval and Early Modern Cultural Appropriations’ held at the University of Western Australia in August. Louise's paper, which is part of ongoing research, investigated a number of twentieth century examples of medievalism used for comic purposes. It was one of a number of papers on the theme of medievalism presented during the conference.
