Widely acknowledged as the leading aviation artist of all time, Robert’s Volume VII has been produced in a manner befitting his distinguished career, with no expense spared to create the finest volume yet.

In his own words…

There are over 140 pages full of tens of thousands of descriptive words written by the artist himself, as Robert takes us on a journey through his recent pieces in the unique manner that only he can. This final volume has been in work for a number of years, helping us to understand how many of the great air battles are visualised by the master of aviation art. His absorbing text makes riveting reading and adds an extra dimension to the appreciation of his remarkable talent.

Come inside the artist’s studio…

Throughout the chapters Robert discusses how he brings each canvas and piece of drawing paper to life, providing thoughtful insight into the stories and the veterans who influenced each work of art. Alongside the countless full-colour images and dozens of beautiful drawings there are informative photographs spanning Robert’s entire career.

Luxury de-bossed covers with gold and silver leaf foiling…

Beautifully designed, printed, section sewn and leatherette bound with no expense spared, the care taken in publishing this elegant volume elevates this publication to the most collectable of all the artist’s books.
