BP Art

Our founder was quite an accomplished artist. He did most of the drawings in "Scouting for Boys", as well as various other water color and oil works. I wonder where the originals are? You don't see them on Ebay!

I found a copy of this the other other day entitled "Scouts of the World -- Brothers Together" a water-color painting by Robert Baden-Powell from a pen and ink drawing in Aids to Scoutmastership, 1919.

Flags (left to right). China, U.S.A., Spain, Great Britain, France, Lithuania, Denmark, Italy, World Scout Flag, Finland, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Ireland, Japan.

Truly, a timeless piece of art.
