THE ENTRANCE
Matted Collector’s Piece by Ley Kenyon
The night of 24 March 1944 has gone down in history as one of the bravest and most daring escape attempts of the entire war. This was the night of ‘The Great Escape’.
The senior British officer asked fellow prisoner and artist Ley Kenyon to make a visual record of ‘Harry’ – the tunnel that would ultimately be for the escape. Kenyon completed six drawings, all of which were sealed in a watertight container fashioned from old milk tins, and stored in the abandoned tunnel ‘Dick’.
Now stored at the RAF Museum in Hendon, London, these drawings are of historical importance and ‘The Entrance’ shows the opening of tunnel ‘Harry’, hidden beneath the stove in Hut 104, one officer helping another into the 30-foot vertical shaft, as a ‘stooge’ keeps an eye out for patrolling German guards.
What makes this release so special is its exceptional link to the past, a drawing, made at the time by a POW right under the guards’ noses, showing the epitome of determination, the desire to overcome oppression and the relentless drive towards freedom.
Every print in this highly collectible edition carries the original signatures of original ‘Great Escapers’:
Flight Lieutenant ALAN BRYETT
Squadron Leader DICK CHURCHILL
The edition also comes conservation matted to include an authentic metal uniform button from one of the prisoners in the camp – these were recovered the area of Hut 104 – issued with a full certificate of authenticity from the Great Escape Museum in Zagan, Poland.
