one of the great military artist
Robert Hillingford.
HILLINGFORD, Robert Alexander.
Born London 1825. Died there in 1904. Hillingford was a very prolific artist of Historic genre pictures particularly
scenes of battle. He was a Costume Realist and like many similar artists of the
day such as Crofts, Woodville and Leutze, he studied in Dusseldorf returning to
England in 1864, and exhibited his first picture at the Royal Academy two years
later. Towards the end of his life he began to paint military scenes
particularly events from the Napoleonic Wars, i.e. there are numerous paintings
by him depicting incidents before, during and after the battle of Waterloo.
Other themes popular with the artist were the battles of the Duke of
Marlborough, Dettingen, and military events of the seventeenth century, but
Hillingford did produce some contemporary paintings such as Sebastapol; the
attack on the Redan exhibited in 1899 and his Royal Academy picture of 1901,
South Africa 1901: the dawn of Peace in which Lord Kitchener on horseback holds
up a peace proclamation surrounded by Boer Civilians. Hillingford paid close
attention to accuracy in details of dress and had a collection of original
uniforms. He was Vice President of the Kernoozers Club, the members of which
were all collectors of objects d'art and militaria, but he achieved limited fame
during his lifetime.

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.
