I do wonder if anyone does prints of these? As wonderful as David Miller's art is, they'd look great on the EA Rod Licences!

I have a number of these which I got cheaply on eBay. I think that in fact they are good quality photocopies on decent paper, so I'm glad that I didn't pay more. Thatg leads me to think that if you have a copy of BV's "The Illustrated Memoirs of a Fisherman" and you are a dab hand with doing enlargements and reductions on a photocopier, you could very well produce your own prints to frame and hang on your wall.

Is that an unsigned copy or an 'original' do you think?

I have to admit Nobby I was just winding people up a bit.
It's actually a copy my wife painted for me. It looks excellent in real life.
She has signed it so it can't be passed off as an original. I think it is such an iconic B.V.

Wicked boy!
It wasn't until I looked at the weeds that I thought it a copy...she has captured the fish to a 'T', both in colours and brushwork.
Scoundrel!!
