The Work Horse by Anthony Saunders

One of the very few Lancasters to complete 100 missions, UL-I (I-Item) of 576 Sqn returns over a snow-capped landscape to RAF Fiskerton after another gruelling mission to Germany during the winter of 1944-45.

In his breath-taking tribute to the Lancasters of Bomber Command and the crews who flew them, Anthony has chosen one of only 35 ‘ton-up’ Lancasters to take centre stage as, on a cold, crisp morning in January 1945, aircraft LM227 UL-I once again makes it safely home.

Adding great authenticity and in tribute to all those who flew in the bitter conflicts in the skies over Europe, each print is personally signed by two WWII veterans who flew with 576 Sqn from RAF Fiskerton, as depicted in this moving piece, creating a unique collector’s edition.

Signatures:
Joining artist Anthony Saunders in signing every print are these two highly-regarded aircrew who flew Lancasters with 576 Squadron during WWII:

Warrant Officer Harry PARKINS - Flight Engineer with 630 & 546 Sqns

Warrant Officer Roy BRIGGS - Wireless Operator with 576 & 156 Sqns

THE REMARQUES - Widely considered as some of the best and largest in the industry, Anthony’s unique pencil remarques are individually created in the lower margin of the print. The first edition, consisting of 15 single sized remarques similar in concept to the drawing depicted, are a perfect way for enthusiasts to collect original art. If you have any particular request, such as a specific aircraft or markings, please ask when placing your order and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

THE DOUBLE REMARQUES - Created specially for the serious collector, these dramatic pieces are much bigger than a standard remarque and exclusively restricted to just 10 copies worldwide. The demand for these superb creations is such that we urge collectors to reserve their remarques early to avoid disappointment.

THE CANVAS GICLÉE PROOFS - Using the most sophisticated digital Giclée technology, each Studio Proof is printed directly on to fine canvas creating a stunning piece which has all the look and feel of an original painting. Fully authorized, stamped on the back, hand numbered and titled, each canvas proof is supplied pre-stretched (US orders only) ready to simply drop into a frame of your choice.
