Description
A wonderful set of detailed drawings and watercolours of edged weapons previously thought to have been by the British book illustrator John W. Wood, working in the 1960’s and 70’s. We have since discovered they are illustrated in the book beginning with the title Swords in Colour with drawings by Peter Sarson and Tony Bryan. Published by Blandford Press, Dorset.
