I've seen this picture before, but I can't remember where it was...
Perhaps it was printed in one of the books, was it?
But It's an interesting picture... :D
Thanks Dandy.

I don't know if this tells us where Patrick's/Steed's boots were purchased specifically, but there's a nice discussion of him -- as well as the Beatles -- in this article on Chelsea boots.

There was a postcard printed with this picture, I know. It might have popped up in one of the Rogers books, too.

It came from here. I tried to make a clearer copy.

There is a magnificent picture of LWT's window promotion of the 4th series on page 93 of The Complete Avengers. Do you have that Timeless?

Ah, there it is from. :D
If I remember correctly, it was also printed (or at least one part) in the 50th Anniversary book...

I've The Complete Avengers.
But I think the promotion was for season 4.
Well, let's see, If I can scan and post it here. :)

The linked one, which you used, is from the postcard, which accounts for why it's better quality than one scanned out of the Rogers books. I do have The Complete Avengers, but I haven't looked at it in awhile, and it's in storage from my last move, I'm afraid. I did think I'd seen it printed in one of the Rogers books, but I couldn't remember whether it was this one or The Ultimate Avengers--thanks for confirming I'm not imagining things! :lol:

They certainly went to a lot of trouble using the classic Avengers font and Jean ('The Shrimp') Shrimpton photographs in Emma Peel Avengerwear.

Jean Shrimpton was a model on par with Twiggy at the time. There is currently Jean Shrimpton biopic in production starring Karen Gillan.

It's a gorgeous display, I agree--I think they pushed the fashion line more than we realise. I've heard Joanna talk about Jean Shrimpton, so to have both her and Twiggy modelling Avengers clothes was quite a coup. I think I've seen shots of Karen Gillan in character, as well--she has bangs now, and they've been dressing her up in lots of lovely sixties clothes. 8)
