Young Lions
I suppose this could be another brothers picture, except that these boys are Richard Dempsey and Jonathan Scott as Peter and Edmund in the 1980s TV version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. (It's not on quite the same scale as the Hollywood version, but arguably the feel is slightly more loyal to that of the original.) [H/T once again to Jeffery Dennis for reminding me of it]
Was Edmund actually left-handed? (It's possible that in the books he was but I've forgotten.) Or is this a sly dig at all those Pauline Baynes pictures showing knights armed the wrong way around?
NB: Narnian, Gryffindor or Lannister, lions are always cool.
