This is the unique original Watercolour painting by Harry Green.

Today they are steadfastly British, but in days gone by the Channel Islands have suffered conquest by the Romans, Vikings, Normans - and the Germans.

Top left are portraits of William the Conqueror and King John whose reigns were tied up with the history of the islands. Mount Orgveil Castle can be seen in the background of the main picture.

Original artwork for illustration on pages 14-15 of Look and Learn issue no 953 (26 April 1980).

  • Artist Biography

    Harry Green (born 1920; UK)
    A little-known artist, Harry Green contributed extensively to Look and Learn in the 1970s and 1980s, illustrating a variety of subjects ranging from historical buildings to football. However, it was as a transport illustrator that he really made his mark in the 1980 with the series "Britain's Railway Wonders". Green also contributed illustrations to Speed & Power in the 1970s.

    His book illustrations include Architecture (1969), Architecture: The Great Art of Building (1969), Discovery of Australia (1969) and Discovery of South America (1970), some of which were jointly illustrated by Gwen Green who was also a prolific children's educational book illustrator.
