HARTMANN TRIBUTE - Framed Legacy Remarque

Robert Taylor had the unique opportunity to actually listen to the great aviators who fought in the bitter air battles of World War II, and one such story formed the basis of 'Hartmann Tribute' depicting Erich Hartmann - history’s highest scoring Ace whose record in aerial combat is never likely to be equalled.

Top-scoring Luftwaffe ace Erich Hartmann is depicted in his Me109G-4 in the spring of 1943 during the Kuban battle in Southern Russia - the Army Group commanded by Field Marshal Kleist - after Russian Sturmoviks have made a determined attack on a Panzer division. Luftwaffe Me109s from JG-52 have beaten off the attack, and the German tanks are on the move again. In the foreground, the crew of a Russian Sturmovik evacuate their stricken aircraft, while overhead a jubilant Erich Hartmann and friends make a low pass to celebrate their victory.

It’s hardly surprising that the edition sold out almost immediately on release in 1994 but we’re delighted to have ONE COPY ONLY that has been personally autographed by Erich Hartmann himself.

PLUS, making this piece even MORE special, a stunning Deluxe Remarque by Richard Taylor has been completed in the lower margin of the print!

What exactly is a Legacy Remarque?

Such has been the demand for Robert’s work over the years that there remain a limited number of prints allocated for Remarque editions that are still awaiting completion. Robert, along with his exclusive publisher the Military Gallery, have released a very limited number of prints to be re-purposed as LEGACY REMARQUES with the original drawing completed not by Robert but by his talented son Richard. To avoid any confusion, Richard will personally sign each Legacy Remarque that he completes, and the edition will be clearly identified and numbered as a ‘Legacy Remarque’.
