The Maritime Prints business is for sale. At 78 yrs of age and after 26 years I’ve reluctantly concluded that I need to draw stumps. But a huge amount of love and effort has gone into the project so it needs to go to someone who can lavish a similar amount of care on it - it’s been a hugely rewarding business. Is there anyone out there who would like to take it on? Please contact Rick Cosby on 01460 63776 or [email protected].

HMS NEPTUNE appears several times elsewhere on this website and the notes there are applicable here. At around this time in his career Frank Wood appears to have been particularly fond of fine detail and colours that were, compared with his later work, more gentle and less saturated. The result is this magnificent large study of a dreadnought at sea.
