I didn't know these things were called "sailor art". Just want to point out that there are two broken hyperlinks. "H.M.A.S. Mk IV" goes to some internal search page at the AWM and a common problem with hyperlinks to the National Archives of Australia, "AWM124" goes to a timed out search page. However I have been able to find some great Sailor Art examples in your collections database by going to your Collections Search, using the search term "sailor art" and choosing as Conflict the Second World War 1939-1945. This brought up several examples, although some are by Official War Artists, and some are official posters. Thank you for this blog post. I didn’t know these things were called “sailor art”.
