Sailor, RNPS (Portrait 7)

Linoprint, printed on vintage book page using Caligo safe wash relief ink Print size is 15.3 x 10.2 cm Book page size is 21.6 x 13.3 cm This linoprint is my first sailor print which pays remembrance to the 2385 men of the Royal Naval Patrol Service (RNPS) who were lost at sea during WW2, and who never made it home. These men are still at sea and so the edition size of this print has been specifically chosen to pay remembrance to every one of these men. The linoprints are printed on to the vintage book pages of 'Trawlers Go to War' providing history of the RNPS and true testimonies of life as a serviceman in WW2 serving on small boats such as trawlers.
