Description
The English version of the greeting card is entitled "Tintin/Friends/Decor - Marlinspike Hall 2".
In the series "Tintin/Friends/Decor // Tintin et son univers".
This ice sculpture photo has been shot "in situ", in the touristic Petit-Champlain area [in the Lower part of the city near the St. Lawrence River] during the 2018 Québec Winter carnival. The iced background is the artwork entitled "Aspiration" published earlier.
The representation of the "château de Moulinsart" [Marlinspike Hall] comes from the "château de Cheverny", that was used as a model for Marlinspike Hall. The central tower and two inner wings are identical while the two outermost wings were not used.
Marlinspike Hall is Captain Haddock's country house and family estate in "The Adventures of Tintin", the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. The original French name of the hall (le château de Moulinsart) is derived from Sart-Moulin, a village near Braine-l'Alleud in Walloon Brabant, Belgium. In an allusion to the Haddock family's maritime history, the hall's English name refers to the marlinspike, a tool used in seamanship to splice ropes. The Belgian corporation managing Hergé's work (principally Tintin) is also called Moulinsart.
Marlinspike Hall first appears in "Les aventures de Tintin - Le secret de La Licorne [The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn]" as the home of the story's villains, the "frères Loiseau [Bird brothers]". By the end of the sequel "Le trésor de Rackham le Rouge [Red Rackham's Treasure]", the manor is found to have been built by Haddock's illustrious ancestor, "le chevalier de Hadoque [Sir Francis Haddock]". It is purchased by "le professeur Tournesol [Professor Calculus]" on behalf of the Captain, and the fabled treasure itself is found hidden in the manor's old chapel, in the cellars. In the following years, Marlinspike provides a home base for Tintin and Haddock in between their various adventures. In "Les bijoux de la Castafiore [The Castafiore Emerald]", virtually all of the action takes place in the Hall, its grounds, or the surrounding countryside.
