Victory on the Atlantic Chase by Geoff Hunt In January 1805, after years
of blockade, the French and Spanish fleets broke out as part of a
Napoleonic plan to control the English Channel and invade England.
The strategy included a diversionary attack on the West Indies.
Nelsons fleet dashed across the Atlantic in pursuit. The French
then fled back to their home ports chased by Nelson and the scene was
set for the Battle of Trafalgar - 21st October 1805.
Victory Races Temeraire for the Enemy Line, Trafalgar
21st October 1805 by Geoff Hunt The most significant battle in naval history took place at walking
pace, in light winds, with the great ships of the British and
Franco-Spanish fleets rolling slowly in the Atlantic swell.
Agamemnon Opens Fire on the Ca Ira, 13th March 1795 by
Geoff Hunt "She is the finest ship I ever sailed in" said Horatio
Nelson. Agamemnon's speed took her ahead of the British fleet on 13th
March 1795 to engage single-handed the vastly larger, but crippled, Ca Ira
which was supported by two other French ships of the line.
Boreas in the West Indies March 1787 by Geoff Hunt
An early command, the 28-gun frigate Boreas and her commission in the
West Indies, came close to ruining Nelson's career.
Vanguard in Heavy Weather off Toulon, 19th May 1798 by
Geoff Hunt vanguard, a 74-gun ship of the line, was to be Nelson's flagship at the
Battle of the Nile, his first great victory as an Admiral in command of a
major fleet.
HMS Artemis - 32 gun Frigate in the Great Southern Ocean
by Geoff Hunt A British frigate plunges through the waves, sails spread in fair
weather. She is typical of the frigates essential to the British Navy in
the late 18th Century, so many of which won battle honors against enormous
odds - as well as huge quantities of prize money.

Ivan Berryman - Battle of Britain Art
Artist Ivan Berryman has been producing many pencil drawings depicting scenes from the Battle of Britain. Each of these is signed by one of the pilots who was actually present at the battle, and is often inspired by the events they took part in themselves. Special signed print editions have also been created from existing full colour print editions, with some featuring multiple pilot signatures. You can find all of Ivan's Battle of Britain artwork on his website - www.ivanberryman.com, or see a full list of pencil drawings - updated regularly, in our dedicated section of pencil drawings.
When you go to a product page for an item in our shop, click on the names of the pilots where they are linked in the text for an item to see a profile page for that pilot. Often we include photos of signing sessions along with details of their flying career, and a full list of all items signed by the pilot. |
| | Pilot Signed Battle of Britain Prints and Original Pencil Drawings |
Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain
We are busy building up a portfolio of many many original pencil drawings which depict events from the Battle of Britain, the famous air battle won by 'the Few' in the summer of 1940. The British and Commonwealth pilots defended the air above Britain and the surrounding seaways from the might of the German Luftwaffe. Greatly outnumbered, the bravery of these young pilots saved the country from invasion, and let Britain survive to go on to defeat Germany. Without that first crucial victory, the outcome of the war could have been so very different. We have been busy arranging signing sessions with the few pilots who fought in that great battle who remain with us to this day. Our newly commissioned pencil drawings are often based on the descriptions of the battle by these great men, and are authenticated by their signatures. We have also had several editions of existing prints signed in full, or have signatures added to parts of existing editions. We have also incoporated signatures of some of the German pilots who also took part in the battle, some of whom went on to become top scoring aces of the war. See our Original Pencil Drawings Section - particularly the section of artists David Pentland and Ivan Berryman. Also, see our New Signature Editions section to see all of our newly signed editions.
