Frank Shipsides' "Tribute" print
T
o start the fundraising activities of The Long John Silver Trust, Frank was commissioned to paint his impression of what literatures most famous scallywag would look like outside Stevenson's Spy-Glass Inn. He very kindly agreed to donate his royalties to the Trust in order for our campaign to get off the ground.
The Long John Silver Trust's first patron (and esteemed Bristol artist) Frank Shipsides handing over print number one to Mike Fussell outside the Hole-in-the-Wall in 2004 with a rueful Long John looking on...
It was the Trust's intention to have 150 copies of the print signed by Frank but unfortunately, after only being able to sign 70 of them, Old Father Time caught up with him at the tender age of 97 in 2005.
The prints have sold well and there are only a small number left, and if you would like a Limited Edition copy please click onto the Merchandise Treasure Chest.
