RICHARD CHOPPING - COVER ART

edited June 2012 in General Discussion Posts: 267
Fellow Agents,
I would love to get some prints of Chopping's cover art for the Bond books.
Does anybody out there know if such things exist or indeed, does anybody know who owns the copywriter?
I understand that Chopping fell out with Fleming but there must be a way of getting some prints made of those fabulous Jonathan Cape covers.
Regards,
Bentley

    Me too.

    I actually knew Richard 'Dickie' growing up. He was a family friend along with his partner and renowned artist Denis Wirth-Miller. I was a young child but we holidayed a few times with them in France. I didn't really know he did the Fleming covers until later in my life after his death, which personally is very sad for me now. I would have loved to have asked him about those days, although he had a troublesome relationship with Fleming. He described him as mean and miserly essentially.
