SAGAN - THE GREAT ESCAPE PRINT AND BOOK PORTFOLIO
The Great Escape was perhaps the most daring escape attempt of the war, involving the mass breakout of more than 200 Allied Airmen by digging three long tunnels (nicknamed Tom, Dick, and Harry), an audacious feat of tunnelling that would be long and dangerous.
Richard Taylor's superb drawing, completed in his trademark graphite and paint combination, recreates the scene as escaped POW's, dressed in plain clothes, mix with local civilians in an attempt to catch the early morning train and make their bid for freedom.
