Battle of Borodino.  After the French army capture of the Russian town of Smolensk on August 18th 1812.  Napoleon advanced his army deeper into Russia.  On the 5th of September The cavalry under the command of Marshal Joachim Murat came across the Russian army under its commander Marshal Mikhail Kutuzov in and around the village of Borodino. The Russian army had been busy fortifying the town in readiness to face the French army. On the 6ht of September Napoleon deployed his army of 86,000 Infantry and 28,000 Cavalry and a total of 587 Artillery pieces against the Russian force of 72,000 infantry , 18,000 cavalry and 640 Artillery pieces. The Russian force also had at its disposal a total of over 17,000 Cossacks and Militia.   The French started their assault the following day the 7th of September the French right wing started the attack under the command of Marshal Louis Davout. and the Other Flank, the left was commanded by Napoleons stepson, Eugene de Beauharnais. They to entered the battle by attacking the town of Borodino. During the afternoon of the fighting the Russian commander withdrew his troops to the second ridge due to the thousands of casualties he was sustaining under the relentless bombardment of the French Artillery which seem to be dominating the battle.  Amongst the dead was the Russian commander of the 2nd army Prince Petr Bagration who had been mortally wounded.   But due to their own losses the French were in no position to pursue the Russians and continue the fighting. The Russian army had lost some 45,000 men killed or wounded and the French casualties were 29,500.                              The Russian army retreated 70 miles outside Moscow but abandoned the city,  Some French Units entered Moscow on the 14th. Within 24 hours large fires had broken out across Moscow and over the following three days Most of the Russian capital had been destroyed.  Napoleon stayed in Moscow for 5 weeks, but decided to plan his retreat, leaving Moscow on the 19th October 1812.  The Battle of Borodino had been the Bloodiest battle of the 19th century,

Ivan Berryman - Battle of Britain Art

Artist Ivan Berryman has been producing many pencil drawings depicting scenes from the Battle of Britain. Each of these is signed by one of the pilots who was actually present at the battle, and is often inspired by the events they took part in themselves. Special signed print editions have also been created from existing full colour print editions, with some featuring multiple pilot signatures. You can find all of Ivan's Battle of Britain artwork on his website - www.ivanberryman.com, or see a full list of pencil drawings - updated regularly, in our dedicated section of pencil drawings.

When you go to a product page for an item in our shop, click on the names of the pilots where they are linked in the text for an item to see a profile page for that pilot. Often we include photos of signing sessions along with details of their flying career, and a full list of all items signed by the pilot.

Pilot Signed Battle of Britain Prints and Original Pencil Drawings

Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain

We are busy building up a portfolio of many many original pencil drawings which depict events from the Battle of Britain, the famous air battle won by 'the Few' in the summer of 1940. The British and Commonwealth pilots defended the air above Britain and the surrounding seaways from the might of the German Luftwaffe. Greatly outnumbered, the bravery of these young pilots saved the country from invasion, and let Britain survive to go on to defeat Germany. Without that first crucial victory, the outcome of the war could have been so very different. We have been busy arranging signing sessions with the few pilots who fought in that great battle who remain with us to this day. Our newly commissioned pencil drawings are often based on the descriptions of the battle by these great men, and are authenticated by their signatures. We have also had several editions of existing prints signed in full, or have signatures added to parts of existing editions. We have also incoporated signatures of some of the German pilots who also took part in the battle, some of whom went on to become top scoring aces of the war. See our Original Pencil Drawings Section - particularly the section of artists David Pentland and Ivan Berryman. Also, see our New Signature Editions section to see all of our newly signed editions.
