[Walt's Daughter]

I am going to list a few drawings and paintings, along with artist, then we can tackle the project of where to purchase said artwork.

 

Terence Cuneo's Bridging the Rapido at Monte Cassino

 

Terence Cuneo’s painting, Bridging the Rapido at Monte Cassino depicts the British Royal Engineers' launch of an 80ft Class 30 Bailey bridge, built under constant fire on the night of the 12-13 May 1944.

 

NOTE: The link I had is no longer viable. Attaching an image, instead.

 

Ludwig Mactarian's Launching a Bailey

 

I have a copy of this on our site, but having a hard time finding an art gallery, etc, to purchase an actual print.

 

Ludwig Mactarian was born in 1908 in New York. His career as an artist included his work for the Fine Arts Section of the Treasury Department. He also completed murals in the Agriculture Building and the United States Post Office in Dardenelle, Arkansas. Mr. Mactarian served during World War II as a Sergeant with the 337th Engineers, part of the Fifth Army. He covered many operations as a war artist/correspondent.

 

I did find this site, which has an Online Gallery. You may wish to contact them for further information. They have about 20 of his prints, and several of bridges. This is from The US Army Center of Military History.

I'll see what else I can dig up for you. At least we're off to a fairly good start!
