Alexander Kent takes pleasure in presenting this exquisite bone china figurine portraying Captain Richard Bolitho, the hero of his best-selling novels about the men and ships of Britain's eighteenth and nineteenth century navy.
Bolitho wears the uniform of a post-captain, as he would have appeared while commanding HMS Hyperion, one of the most popular ships in the series.
Each figurine is one of a numbered edition, hand crafted and decorated and authentic in every detail - a remarkable recreation not only of a stirring period, but of an individual. The cost of each figurine is £180.00 (British Pounds Sterling).
Contact Bolitho Maritime Productions Limited, C/O Sarah Pocklington, Random House UK Limited, 20 Vauxhall Bridge Road, London SW1V 2SA, England.
The figurine may also be ordered directly through Bowsprit Press in the United States (269.372.4673).
The photos on this page were taken by Joseph Ditler aboard the Star of India at the San Diego Maritime Museum.
