    Very nice.

    I have a book of his military paintings and his railway paintings appear in many books. Some say he was an illustrator rather than an artist but there is nothing wrong with that. I like his work.

    Must go to Hull some day. I have not been for years. Last time I was there it was to see one of those reconstructed sailing ships, Hornblower or Captain Cook.

    I am sorry that I missed this thread back in 2018!

    I love his paintings of the A4 Pacific. I don't know a lot about steam trains but I picked up on the story of the Mallard ... probably as a kid somehow. In any case, I think the A4 series had gorgeous lines and it is great to see paintings of them.

    Surprised no one's mentioned it but isn't there supposed to be a small mouse in all of Cuneo's paintings ?

    I could be wrong, but I think the mouse only appears on the railway scenes.

    I'm sure its in at least some military ones - when I was young I got a book about great lands battles of WW2 which had Cuneo illustrations and I enjoyed looking for the wee mouse in each

    edit - Just looked it out and the first painting is the German Surrender and the little mouse is sitting on the base of the microphone

    My favourite (now that I see it again) is Operation Crusader with 25 pounders where the mouse has its own tiny gun (a 25 grammer maybe)

    Having said that I am sure it's only train paintings, I am sure I saw a little mouse with its own parachute in the foreground. It was a painting called the last Halifax bomber but I can't see the mouse . I would have taken a photo of it but can't remember where I saw it. It's an age thing or the tablets confusing meo_O.

    Sketchy memory says the mouse only started being included postwar.

    Ah, Wiki says 1954, and he trademarked it in 1956. ('Wiki says'... cough... The reference is a 2009 epidode of the Antiques Roadshow, but I've little reason to doubt.)

    Found the picture on the laptop:). I remember thinking that it was no use posting it as the photo is a bit blurred when I zoom in on it. Here it is anyway. I know the mouse is somewhere in the foreground. Perhaps somewhere on 'tinternet someone could find the painting which shows the mouse.
