Does anyone else remember these wonderfully emotive sketch drawings (they look like b&w photos). They were done by an A. Stokes in 1971, and were sold as a set of prints through magazines including The Listener (I saw an advert in a 1975 edition recently).
Dad obviously bought a set and they have adorned his model workshop's wall ever since he built the workshop in the very early 1980's (or was it late 1970's?), when i was a kid.
This week I photographed the prints to show you what they're like. If you want to know what the wee words say on the prints, let me know.
