Special Thanks to my buyer from San Lorenzo, California, USA. My father would have been pleased to know that his art work had been sold to someone in America.

Back when Bashful was so much younger. This was the first 2 months of WWII so showing hope to a child at that time would have been precious. Super history. L/F

Thank you very much for the comment Richard, the letter was sent by my father to his girlfriend who had been evacuated from central London. The young lady became my mother some years later.
Rory Trappe
E-mails are very dull compared to getting something like this through the post.
John Chatterley replied:
Thank you for the comment Rory, unfortunately a lot of my father's work hasn't survived the passage of time, or has been given away to relatives and friends. I've done a few sketches, but they are eclipsed by Dad's talent.

Just adorable! I love it.
John Chatterley replied:
Thank you for your comment Angela, and for adding me to your watch list. I hope I'm able to justify your interest.
