Wolves at Saint Nazaire by Anthony Saunders. (APB)

Portrayed in the southern lock at the French port of Saint Nazaire during the Autumn of 1941 are from left: U552, commanded by Kapitanleutnant Erich Topp, U567, commanded by Oberleutnant zur See Engelbert Endrass and U93, commanded by Oberleutnant zur See Horst Elfe. Saint Nazaire was home for two U-boat flotillas: 7. U-Flotille, the Wegener Flotilla and 6.U-Flotille, the Hundius Flotilla. It produced some of the top U-boat commanders including Topp, Endrass, Prien and Kretschmer. The base reached a peak of activity in mid 1943, however, by the end of the war the entire port had been flattened by the allied air forces. The only buildings to survive the onslaught were the bomb proof U-bunkers which can still be seen to this day.

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.

Anthony Saunders

Anthony Saunders must be one of the most outstanding naval and aviation artists around today. He has extraordinary skill in portraying scenes of aerial combat that took place before he was born. Although in his own words Anthony prefers the artistic side of painting war aircraft rather than the historic side, he will spend many hours researching a subject, making sure that it is technically correct in every detail before applying any oil to canvas. The results of this technical and artistic skill are easy to see in his paintings; breathtaking skyscapes graced with the machines of aerial warfare beautifully brought to life with the rich colour that is unique to oil paint. With this skill it is hardly surprising that Anthony also paints many subjects other than aviation; scenes from Crimea and Waterloo are a particular favourite. He is equally at home with landscapes and portraits.
