Talk:John R. Neill

Depiction of Ozma
One of the reasons for the realistic and modernized portrayal of Ozma and other Oz characters was that Neill was using real models. For many years, the model for Ozma was his niece, Roberta Neill and the model for Dorothy, her sister Ann Marie Neill. (John R.

Art Nouveau

Official website?
JohnRNeill.net is largely a gallery of reproductions for sale. It has been called "Official website" manually, which I entered in Wikidata and annotated here in section External links.
