...Mort Künstler painted the first visual concept of Poldark for the cover of the Winston Graham novel Ross Poldark in 1970, published by Berkley Medallion?
It became the long-running television series Poldark on PBS. Künstler’s painting was used as a model for the casting of the actors. Künstler’s wife, Deborah, posed for Elizabeth, the blonde woman on the left. The television series starred Robin Ellis, Angharad Rees, Jill Townsend and Ralph Bates. Poldark was first seen in the United Stated during the 1976 - 1977 season of Masterpiece Theatre. There were sixteen episodes. Poldark II was aired the following year in thirteen episodes.
