|  | We already know the high artistic skills and powerful imagination of Graham Turner. In this book he has also shown himself a skilful historian, drawing on wide reading and careful attention to sources. His book is beautifully illustrated by his own work along with well chosen photographs of objects, sites and manuscripts. But it also gives us a carefully researched narrative and analysis of the Wars of the Roses which is eminently readable.In short this is a unique and compelling book. Visually fabulous - no other word for it. A must have book for anyone interested in this period. An amazing achievement.Professor Anne Curry |
| | OSPREY BOOKSOne of the first books Graham Turner bought while making his initial steps into historical painting was from the already extensive range published by Osprey, so in 1995, having just completed his first painting of the Battle of Bosworth, he wrote to them to introduce his work and received a very encouraging reply saying 'your style seems to be very close to the kind of illustrations we use in several of or series' and asking if he'd be interested in illustrating one of the new Campaign series titles - Pavia, 1525.Three decades later he has now illustrated over 90 Osprey books, with the century on the horizon, covering many varied periods of military history. We have copies of a large selection of these books - signed by Graham Turner - CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS OF ALL THESE BOOKSAfter the publication of each book, Graham is able to offer the original paintings for sale, and many of these have found homes with collectors. Each book listed here will include a link to the relevant original paintings section of our website where details of these paintings can be found. |  |
