B2 Rare Robert Taylor "Helping Hand" signed by an impressive 16 famous Luftwaffe, USAAF, RAF and RCAF WW2 Aces and veterans. When originally issued in 1989, "Helping Hand" was signed only by the artist, Robert Taylor, this print being number 124 from an issue of 1250 and today is a sought after print in its own right. However, over the years this particular print has benefited greatly by being additionally autographed by 16 extremely well known WW2 aircrew from the Luftwaffe, the RAF and the USAAF including many leading Aces. This print is supplied with a Vector Fine Arts Certificate of Authenticity from 2007 confirming that this is one of just three prints to carry this combination of 16 autographs and giving details of the signatories (see photographs). This print is signed by the artist, Robert Taylor and Colonel Bob Morgan Pilot of the B-17 Memphis Belle, Lt. Colonel Francis "Gabby" Gabreski (Ace) 56th Fighter Group, General Gunther Rall (Ace) JG52, Lt. General Walter Krupinski (Ace) JG52 JV44, Colonel Don Blakeslee (Ace) Officer Commanding 4th Fighter Group, Lt. Colonel Robert S Johnson (Ace) 56th Fighter Group, Colonel "Hub" Zemke (Ace) Officer Commanding 56th Fighter Group, General Chesley "Pete" Peterson (Ace) Fourth Fighter Group, Wing Commander Geoffrey Page (Ace) 56 Squadron Battle of Britain, Colonel Walker Bud Mahurin (Ace) 56th Fighter Group, Air Vice Marshal Johnnie Johnson (Ace) Canadian Wing, Lt.

The print measures approximately 84cm x 60cm (33 x 23. 5 inches) and has been stored flat, out of the light and is in very. Print Historical Detail: The scene is a familiar one back in 1944. A damaged B-17 Flying Fortress, down on power and speed, has lost touch with the formation and is alone in a hostile sky - easy prey for the enemy fighter. With crew members injured and unable to bale out, the skipper has elected to stay with his ship in an effort to bring his crew home. All on board knew the drill: Once hit, damaged, slowed down and unable to maintain their position in the formation they were on their own. Losing height and dropping out of the relative safety of the group they would become a prime target for the marauding high-altitude fighters of the Luftwaffe, and their chances of survival would be slim. But this day was different. Their luck was in! High above, a P-51 Mustang long-range escort pilot, himself low on both fuel and ammunition and weary from combat with German fighters, has assessed the plight of the B-17 and closed in to 'ride shotgun' for the long journey home.

"In terrible conditions, he scrambled his new Hurricane alone, climbing into thick, turbulent cloud where he spotted a Dornier 17. Hauling his Hurricane around, Bader brought his guns to bear managing several bursts before the enemy bomber disappeared into the murk. It was not until Bader landed that he learned the Dornier had crashed into the sea off Cromer.

The first book printed by the press was Share of Ploughs (1968), consisting of a series of color prints of plows with accompanying verses about plows and plowing. The first major Plough Press publication was XIX Century Illustration (1970). It describes sixteen printing processes with accompanying contemporary specimens. Such leaf books became a regular feature of Plough Press publications, as Wakeman believed the only way to properly study the history of paper and printing was by examining actual specimens' (University of Delaware website).

ALBUM – NAPOLEONIC ERA & NOBILITYAlbum titled 'Lady/ Emily/ Bathurst's/ Scrap/ Book/ 1818', comprising some 20 watercolours and 70 drawings in pencil, pen, ink and wash, with silhouettes and other printed ephemera, the majority affixed to the album page, others tipped in, including: small group of watercolours of Napoleonic interest (including 'Lord Anglesey had his leg amputated in this House at Waterloo June 18th', dated 'Sept. 19 1815'; 'View of the Bugio Fort & Light House entering the Tagus' (initialled G.B.); Napoleon in profile (after Ibbetson); 'Longwood' (initialled G.H.B. and dated 1818); and two pencil drawings, 'Waterloo Church' and 'Hougemont' by Lady Georgiana Fane, 1820); other subjects include views of houses ('Earl of Bristol's Villa at Putney Heath', 'Lord Bathursts House at Cirencester'), 'The Landing of the Cesar at Plymouth', 'The Diving Bell at Plymouth Docks'; six silhouettes by Lady Hardy including that of a Napoleonic soldier; two pen drawings 'made by an automaton'; group of pencil drawings and caricatures by Sir Henry Bunbury (son of the caricaturist) and two drawings captioned 'By Sir T. Lawrence'; with further contributions by Vice Admiral Lord Mark Robert Kerr (five), his daughter the silhouette artist Lady Letitia Louisa Kerr (pen drawings taken 'from an old print'), her brother the Hon. Seymour Bathurst, the Hon. Charles Percy (two playing cards), the Hon J. Stanhope, Captain Napier ('Mr W... On his return from his travels giving an account of them at dinner in Stanhope Street, 1820'), Thomas Hyde Villiers, Peregrine Maitland (whose maternal aunt married the brother of Jane Austen), and many others; interspersed with manuscript poems, charades, riddles and anagrams in several hands ('What does Honor est a Nilo make?/ Horatio Nelson' and 'Thus the English have gout, & the Frenchman has goüt/ And what fills a French heart fills an Englishman's shoe'), cut signatures and a note from Mr Gore sending 'the Queen's footman to enquire if the Countess of Bathurst is in London & has been at Court within the twelvemonth' dated 9 March 1818; printed ephemera including three theatre bills from the Theatre, Mont St Martin, 1817; and two linen-backed printed and embossed tickets for the coronation of George IV issued to The Lady Emily Bathurst, one signed by Frederick Duke of York, c.90 leaves, contemporary black morocco gilt with brass clasp, titled in gilt on red spine label, g.e., 4to (234 x 178mm.), c.1818-1823Footnotes:'AN ENIGMA SUPPOSED TO BE WRITTEN BY LORD BYRON': WATERCOLOURS OF NAPOLEON AND A MENTION OF JANE AUSTEN.This charming album was compiled by the young Lady Emily Charlotte Bathurst (1798-1877), daughter of Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst (1762-1834) and Lady Georgina Lennox (1765-1841) of Cirencester Park. Begun in 1818, a postscript indicates it was completed in 1823 prior to her marriage to Major-General Hon. Sir Frederick Cavendish Ponsonby in 1825. Contributors to the album reflect a complicated web of aristocratic family connections and include accomplished amateur watercolourists such as Vice Admiral Lord Mark Kerr (1776-1840), his daughter Lady Louisa Kerr (1800-1885), who later became well-known for her finely executed silhouettes, although here she offers delicate pen and ink drawings, Sir Henry Bunbury (1778-1860), son of the famous caricaturist, and members of the Lennox family. The contents reflect the English obsession with Napoleon, now safely in exile on St Helena, with several watercolours and drawings of scenes around Waterloo and at Longwood – the initials 'G.H.B.' on the latter could possibly be those of Lady Emily's mother.An enjoyment of puzzles and parlour games is evident here, and the album is filled with clever riddles, charades and anagrams. Of particular note is the inclusion of a celebrated riddle on the letter 'H' by Catherine Maria Fanshawe, entitled 'An Enigma supposed to be written by Lord Byron' and beginning ''Twas whispered in heaven, 'twas muttered in hell,/ And echo caught faintly the sound as it fell'. As the title suggests these verses were often attributed to Byron: 'These lines thus first introduced were soon well-known and admired throughout the country, and from their style and curious felicity were attributed to Byron, the popular poet of the age. They afterwards crept into some foreign editions of his works, and are even at the present day often ascribed to him.' (The Rev. A.G. L'Estrange, Literary Life of the Rev. William Harness, 1871, p.101-102.). L'Estrange writes that Harness, a friend of Byron, noted that the original commenced 'Twas in Heaven pronounced'. Our version also has the word 'pronounced' as in the original but crossed out and replaced with 'whispered'. A playful note below the poem includes an early mention of Jane Austen but concludes that Fanshawe was indeed the author: 'not by Lord Byron but by Miss Fanshawe not by Miss Fanshawe but by Miss Austen – It was by Miss Fanshawe'. The name of Jane Austen had not long been in the public domain when this album was begun. Prior to her death in July 1817 her publications, although best-sellers, had not included her name on the title page and it was not until December 1817 in a biographical note by Henry Austen that she had been identified as the author of Persuasion and Northanger Abbey.
