Baptism of Fire Original Book Cover Art

A IX Squadron Wellington heads home under fire from chasing Me110s after the ill fated Wilhelmshaven raid of 18 December 1939.

This is the original 15″ x 11″ (38cm x 28cm) illustration on artboard for the cover of the Osprey book Wellington Squadrons of RAF Bomber Command.

Over a period of nearly 20 years, Mark painted in the region of 150 cover art illustrations for Osprey Publishing (part of the Bloomsbury Publishing Group)

These small but highly detailed 15″ x 11″ illustrations, painted on artboard are highly collectable as the book covers themselves are seen in bookshops around the world.

We now have less than 20 of these beautiful illustrations left for sale, they’re an ideal introduction to collecting original paintings.

If you’re interested in purchasing more then one, then feel free to make an offer!
