Hawker is a comparatively modern artist who is extremely prolific and whose portfolio covers a wide range of subjects including buildings, ships, trains, etc etc. He comes, I believe from yorkshire so many of his pictures have a northern theme. He's certainly not currently particularly sought after as witnessed by a well-framed sketch of the Flying Scotsman (a subject one would deem desirable) not attracting a single bid on e-bay at a start price of 20 quid.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
