Stanmore, murals

These murals are on the side wall of a house on the corner of Liberty Street and Trafalgar Street, in the inner city suburb of Stanmore. They were painted in 2013 and feature Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in a scene from the movie African Queen and Freddie Mercury, lead singer of Queen.

    1. Sure is. I only saw a possible queen connection when I was typing up African Queen and Queen.

  2. Perfect choice of characters - Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn on one side, and Freddie Mercury on the other.

  3. They look so skilled — I wonder who painted them and how they did it... projecting an image? Somehow enlarging a small original? Curious.

  4. Beautiful mural Jim! I was wondering what the connection was between Freddie and the others but as you say it could be "Queen" or maybe just great artists. Thanks for contributing.

  7. I just saw the movie on the plane and was disappointed. Guess Freddie would just prefer being in that mural instead!
