[edit] Painting . . .

The painting "Elaine" captioned "as painted by Waterhouse" is actually "The Lady of Shalott" from 1888 (see: http://www.jwwaterhouse.com/paintings/index.cfm?decade=188 ... also note that the Lady in the painting is very much alive). I don't have a better illustration, but ... thought it should be noted.

Much of the article treats Elaine of Astolat and the Lady of Shalott as the same character. Though the latter was undoubtedly based on the former, I think they should be treated as distinct literary entities. --Trystan 15:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
