INFORMATION ABOUT THE CLIPPED SIGNATURES SUPPLIED WITH THIS ITEM


This item is supplied with 'clipped' signatures.

Where you see the name of the signatures with the word '(clipped)' next to it, this signature is supplied separately from the item.

These clipped signatures are usually sourced from other prints which have become damaged but the signatures remain unaffected. Sometimes, rarer signatures have been collected in person either by Cranston Fine Arts or militaria dealers and collectors we work with.

In the past, we mounted these signatures with prints and drawings ourselves to send to customers, but it is significantly better value to send everything unmounted for you to get matted and framed the way you want it - saving you money on shipping costs.

Here you can see some examples of how the clipped signatures are sent out (usually on A6 size cards) with brief details of the signature. Also, we show a couple of examples of how prints and drawings can be matted together with these signatures.

NameInfo


Erich Topp (deceased)
*Signature Value : £95 (clipped)

Born 2nd July 1914 - Died 26th December 2005. Born in Hannover, Topp joined the Kriegsmarine in 1934, serving on the cruiser Karlsruhe, before transferring to U-Boats in 1937. He was assigned to U-46 for a number of combat tours before taking command of U57 in June 1940, sinking six ships over two missions before being sunk in a collision on the 3rd of September the same year. Surviving this, Topp then commanded U-552 from December that year, sinking 30 ships, predominantly in the North Atlantic, including the first American ship of the war to be sunk, the destroyer 'Reuben James'. From October 1942 he commanded the 27th submarine flottilla. He also took command of two further U-Boats, these being U-3010 for about a month in 1945, and subsequently U-2513 from April 1945 until surrendering this vessel on May 8th. His highest award was the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords. The 3rd highest scoring U-boat Commander, Topp sank a total of 36 ships totalling almost 200,000 tons

Robert Barbour

Robert Barbour was born in Glasgow in 1937. He studied architecture at the Glasgow School of Art and Strathclyde University, graduating from there in 1961. He ran an architectural practice in Rhu and also painted regularly in watercolour; paintings range from marine and aviation to landscape and of course architectural subjects. He has exhibited regularly with the Eastwood Six group of artists from the mid-sevemties and with the Helensburgh Art Club. His paintings hang in the Officers Messes at RAF Leuchars and Honnington, and also the wardroom at the Faslane Submarine Base. The Queen was presented by the Glasgow Art Club in her jubilee year with his painting of HMS Bronington, to celebrate the first RN command of Prince Charles. Many of his marine, and especially naval paintings have now been published as prints, and over the years, many of his commissions have gone world wide. Sadly, we have learned Robert Barbour died recently.
