>> View the Bletchley Park Limited Edition Prints HereThese attractive framed prints are being issued to commemorate the phenomenal technological achievements of the Codebreakers that both helped shorten the war by two years and laid the foundations for modern day computing. The proceeds from the sale of these prints will make a direct and vital contribution to the continuing work to restore and regenerate Bletchley Park.
Some pictures have previously been unavailable to the public; these historic pictures of Bletchley Park’s wartime codebreaking work are made even rarer by the fact that cameras were not allowed on-site during the war. They are being reproduced in partnership with CreateOnline, the Bletchley Park based, fine art prints company that looks after the online printing for National Geographic, Punch Magazine Library and many other galleries.
Signed by five of the surviving Codebreakers: John Herivel, Keith Batey, Mavis Batey, Oliver Lawn and Sheila Lawn, the strictly limited edition, framed prints are supplied with a certificate of authenticity from the Bletchley Park Trust and are available on a first-come-first-served basis.
Simon Greenish, Chief Executive of the Bletchley Park Trust welcomed the initiative, saying: “These prints offer an opportunity to buy a unique piece of history and will help to ensure that the legacy of the wartime Codebreakers at the home of computing is not forgotten. As well as being an exclusive and attractive historic portrait of the work conducted here in WWII, I hope they will prove to be a valuable investment for their owners”.
A spokesman for CreateOnline said: ”We are delighted and honoured to be working on this project to commemorate the work of the Codebreakers and helping to support Bletchley Park”.
