On publication the originals are returned to Graham for resale, and many have found new homes with collectors of military art. Because Osprey have already paid a fee, Graham is able to price these paintings considerably lower than he would usually charge - a more affordable way to acquire a unique piece of original art.This section details all his available Second World War paintings, organised under the book titles they appear in.
