I would love to know if it is really as spare of detail as the drawing suggests. Does anyone know?

MBE? Or some such? Anyhow, may I suggest that a new award should be instituted for
Expert Chroniclers of the Realm? Many of the artists featured here would be acknowledged for their abilities to capture a moment, a street corner, a passage way, a market, etc. Not to
mention the people who inhabit these fascinating places.

Until the award idea takes hold, thank goodness for GA. We salute you, and all the
artists you feature. Hurrah and huzzah!

GA, just love Ebbe’s sketches. He has such a way with trees and vegetation. Really captures the spirit of London!

Thanks to this wonderful artist, I can bring these fantastic sketches into 3D, full colour images in my headspace.

I particularly love the Tower of London and Bride of Denmark drawings. The Guinness and Andrews Liver Salts advertisements made me smile; they are of their time I think.

Love & Peace
