Ok, I've now framed another one of Bill's prints.
This is a vintage urban/road scene.
The visible area of the picture is aprox 14.5inch x 18inch. 12 inch ruler for scale.

I've still got several more to do, some you've seen, some you haven't!

Another one now finished.

These 2 Bulls on are separate different coloured sheets (slightly more different than the colour looks in this pic). These seem to be a more professional print than the others, so possibly later than the other obviously hand printed images? and each is hand signed by Bill (the signature is not a part of the print).
I've put them together as I like the slightly different look the different coloured background gives each one.
This frame is 34 inch x 25 inch.

Probably the most impressive of all the images.

I've now managed to frame more of Bill's prints.

The King, which you've seen unframed.

And two more separate prints, that I think go well together.
You'll notice that this trawler faces the other way to the painted one.
12" ruler at bottom for scale.

these are my favorites so far!
I just got talking to someone who worked with Maggi at Celtic pottery in Newlyn.
Does anyone have questions they would like me to ask him?

That would also make his right had his sword arm. I think it's reversed. Is it right or left handed on the king ceramics?

I think I've solved the mystery of my king print.
I'm fairly certain it's Bill's version of John Of Gaunt, Duke Of Lancaster (1340 - 1399). 4th Son of Edward III & father of Henry IV (Wikipedia).

But as Crawford say's, it's reversed for some reason.
I've found a very similar print by someone, in reverse (the correct way). Slightly different shield images, but otherwise the same basic layout and imagery.
