Commissioned Works
This includes work for the Admiralty during the War. Afterwards, commissions continued to flood in. Oxbridge Universities, Eton College, the Coronation, Churchill being given the Freedom of the City, then Esso, Shell Guides and The Post Office. Lord Montagu admired his work and commissioned several pictures. Evelyn Waugh asked for a quirky picture of the interior of a plane about to crash....but Richard was glad when he felt he could make a living without this sort of work.
