Spitfires
over St Michael's Mount,
by Robert Taylor
|
Robert has chosen to show
a Spitfire in the Battle of Britain colors of No 41 Squadron for his
romantic portrayal of a Spitfire over St Michael’s Mount, just off
the coast of Cornwall – where the southwest corner of the British
Isles meets the mighty Atlantic. This famous and historic landmark
dating back to the Iron Age is steeped in folklore and legend. The
castle of St Michael’s Mount, perched atop a great granite rock that
rises majestically out of the sea in Mount’s Bay, for centuries made
a tempting site for fighting forces. Here Robert cleverly uses this
historic fort to provide a symbolic backdrop to a wonderful study of
one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built.
Every print in the Spitfire Commemorative
Edition has been signed by THREE outstanding fighter pilots who flew
the Spitfire in combat during World War II.
