You could Google Norman Wilkinson if you’re going online, not only was he one of the innovators in WW11 marine camouflage, he was also widely held as the best railway illustrator, and produced some wonderful angling scenes in dry point pencil.Beresford wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 6:15 pmI'll trawl You Tube for that – it sounds fabulous.
