He also has
for sale (offered at £450 or best offer) another piece of artwork by Frank Bellamy, which originally appeared in the
Radio Times magazine for 22 July 1972 - 28 July 1972) as part of the "Grand strategy" series. This one (#3 appearing on page 34) shows Frank bellamy's interpretation of the attack on Pearl Harbour. It was these graphic dispalys in the radio Times that got me hooked on Bellamy. They were so inventive and exciting - even when reproduced on that ghastly cheap pulp paper.
Excellent blog, Norman. I really should visit it more often. (Especially as it's been in my blog list for a good while now and is only a click away.)
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Kid. And may I compliment you on yours. I enjoy your trips down memory lane - even when it's that funny stuff that we all forget about our childhood!
