Along with my own scans are selections from the Tilda Swinton sites of Daniele Ongaro and Roger Deforest, and from Julie Waters's Gender Gallery:
1600 . . . DEATH
Beneath the oak tree, we met Orlando as he prepared for the arrival of Queen Elizabeth.
The guest of honor was seated at the head of the table and stopped the recited poem.
The royal mascot was granted property and immortality.
1610 . . . LOVE
The pensive youth, judging the separation of melancholy from happiness.
At dinner with Euphrosyne, Orlando first spoke with the Russian ambassador's daughter.
She was a superlative skater.
A trip out onto the Thames gave him the opportunity to propose elopement to Sasha.
He waited, but the ice broke and the Russian ship was gone.
1650 . . . POETRY
Leading the life of leisure, he took solace in words, words, words.
A certain poem ended up making him even more downcast.
1700 . . . POLITICS
Orlando left England to serve as Ambassador Extraordinary in Constantinople.
The Khan was suspicious of his guest.
Luxuriating in a Turkish bath.
"Perhaps they don't hold punctuality in high regard?" - Archduke Harry.
Orlando took to his bed after a battle.
1750 . . . SOCIETY
After returning to the house in England, Orlando was encased in a corset.
Caught vamping in feminine excess.
A proposal of marriage was startling.
She tossed a final glare towards the camera before entering the maze.
1850 . . . SEX
Marmaduke Bonthrop Shelmerdine made a grand entrance into the story.
The two wanderers met on solid ground.
Lady Orlando offered him room and board.
Seekers who are lovers.
She proposed marriage, but the southwest winds drew him back to the high seas.
On horseback for a final photo op.
BIRTH
Portraits of the director:
Filming in the meadows of Hatchlands in 1991.
Directing Quentin Crisp.
Sally Potter in flashy color by Chico Aragao.
Before the hedges, working on the maze scene.
Film Quarterly's black and white portrait.
From a rather glamorous Rolling Stone photo session.
The profile.
It is 5 a.m. and she is listening to Los Angeles.
During The Tango Lesson's triumph, a nice close-up.
