Wohoo! Tapestry in the Jerusalem Chamber!

Yay! I finally found the original vintage postcard which is used in the journal!!! =D

I was able to get the whole original postcard set which this one was part of. These sets were first sold back in November 1935! That’s just awesome! ❤️

Here you see the original postcard below my prop made one in my journal ;)

I think in the original prop they used a print as well. In different screencaps you can see that the front motive is used on both sides of the card - or, for even more fun from the prop department, it's just upside down...:

Also I found a vintage real photograph set, where the postcard motive was used as well:

Couldn’t find out the exact date, but I think it could be from the 1930s as well.

Aren’t these just beautiful? =) I’m so happy I finally found it!!! ❤️

Photo of the Jerusalem Chamber at Westminster Abbey, as it looks today. The busts along the back wall are of Henry V (left) and IV (right). The second photo shows the ceiling of the chamber, decorated with crowned Rs for Richard II and mitred "NL"s for Nicholas Litlyngton, the abbot at the time the chamber was built. (x)

King James room

There is a lot that I can say about the room with King James in it, but I'll leave this one to the portrait and the title of the room.

There is a conversation happening in this room at all times. There are voices recorded who are discussing the possible meaning of the word "ecclesia" [and the possible PRONUNCIATION, from "eh-CLAY-see-uh" to "eck-lay-SEE-uh" to "ack-lou-SOY-yuh", etc.]. This whole time, there is a "portrait" of "King James" on the wall. At the end of the conversation, "King James" interrupts and gives his input. The picture comes to life, scares the crap out of the old people, it's great.

So yeah, talking picture.

Also, the room is the Jerusalem Chamber.

It is a recreation of a room in Westminster Abby, it is known as the Jerusalem Chamber [which is very anachronistic for King James, but I digress].

OKAY the point is that we all have another name for this room, and you've probably guessed it already.

The Jerusalem Chamber of Secrets.
