It is probably the Le Blond ovals that are the favourite collecting area for those interested in his work. However, he did so much more than that in his original work as well as those images we know as the Le Blond Baxters. Here is a small selection of items available and they are unframed unless stated differently. Other framed copies are available at Fairs and, if you are searching for a particular image, please feel free to contact me. If a picture is framed then this will be notified in the detail relating to the item, and you are asked to note the additional nominal charge for despatch. There are a few Licencee prints included in this section too.
