Signature Search

Signatures on art prints - particularly of pilots -
are a special way of tying history into the image you see on the
print. We keep a database of all the signatures on our prints, and
now have over 1500 profile pages for individuals, mostly pilots, who
have signed prints. On these pages you will find a list of all
prints signed by that person, and where available a short biography and
sometimes a photo or two. We provide a search engine specifically
for this database to enable our visitors to find a particular signature
easily.

News Archive

We use our news service to give our visitors regular
updates as to what is going on here. Whether that means a new
release, a newly found WW2 signature or a rare item becoming available,
it will be featured in the places around our sites where you see the
'Latest News' box (there is one on this page, and on the front page of
our shop). We have archived all our news updates since we began
this service to let our visitors catch up with all the news.

Works in Progress

We feature many artists' works in progress when they
can find the time to provide us with photographs. These range from
a few photos of the painting as it was built up, to full step by step
commentaries by the artists. We know a lot of collectors like to
see just how a painting was created when they buy a print. If
finding out about how the artists work is what you would like to see,
then check out this section.
Also check out Ivan's own site for his WIP page.

Advanced Searches

We now offer an advanced search system for use by our
visitors. You will find the full search system available from our
shop front page, and special versions in each category in the
shop. Under the Military Art tab, for example, you will find an
advanced search facility that restricts the search to military
subjects. Just select the desired criteria from the drop down
menus and go! The system will return any items matching all
the criteria entered.

Special Collections
We often feature special collections of prints
relating to one subject, whether that is an anniversary (i.e. Falklands
25th or Trafalgar 200th in recent years) or a specific person or
event. The two below are currently our largest collections, the
epic WW1 Aces series by artist Ivan Berryman and our collections of
Knight's Cross signature prints. |
|
WW1 Aces

The WW1 Aces series already has at the time of writing
over 60 paintings within it. This number is likely to double
before the collection is considered 'complete'. Artist Ivan
Berryman has also provided us with several WIP articles throughout this
series, including commentaries on some of the challenging aspects of
painting WW1 aircraft, including the scarcity of original references for
certain aircraft, and the daunting prospect of painting German 'Lozenge'
camouflage.
|
Knight's Cross Signatures

Our collection of Knight's Cross signature pieces
includes some really rare items. We have been involved with German
signatures in particular for over a decade, with artist Graeme Lothian
touring Germany in the mid-1990s to meet the Knight's Cross winning
pilots who signed his prints. We also deal directly with the most
reputable of German signature companies, ensuring the authenticity of
the signatures we provide. The Knight's Cross series also includes
U-boat and tank commanders, the signatures of which are often incredibly
hard to come by.
