This is the unique original Gouache painting by Barrie Linklater.

Rosemarie Mudie's tale of an attempt to cross The Atlantic in a hot air balloon. At one point they crashed into the sea and had to let the balloon free. In the end they made landfall in Barbados after four days in the air and twenty at sea.

Originally published in Look and Learn issue 190, 4th September 1965. Note that there is a vertical crease on the back of the board but it does not impact on the artwork. Art extends to the edge of the board on three sides and there are minor bumps. This is reflected in the price.
  • Artist Biography
    Barrie Linklater (born 1931; Birmingham, UK)
    Born in Birmingham, Warwickshire, in 1931, Barrie Linklater studied at Woolwich Polytechnic School of Art and began his artistic career working in a London studio before leaving for Australia where he worked as a freelance for four years.

    Returning to London, Linklater forged a reputation as a fine portrait artist and subsequently as an equestrian artist, his first commission in the latter area coming from HRH the Duke of Edinburgh during a sitting for a portrait in 1975. Equestrian work has since been commissioned by Her Majesty The Queen and the City of London amongst many others. In all he has 13 paintings in the Royal Collection and his work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery. Linklater lives and works in Berkshire.

    In the 1960s, Linklater contributed illustrations to Look and Learn's adaptation of H. G. Wells' The First Men in the Moon in 1963 and later, in 1967, began producing covers and illustrations on a semi-regular basis.
