Lovely oval silk picture on the cover of an idyllic beach. The cover raised money for The National Trust’s Enterprise Neptune-saving Britain’s Coastline.

Cover has the genuine hand signed signature of Hugh SCULLY (1943-2015). He was an English journalist, radio and television presenter. He is best known as the host and longest serving presenter of the BBC programme Antiques Roadshow from 1981 to 2000. He was a freelance journalist who worked on BBC news magazines and was a presenter of the BBC Southwest news programme Spotlight from 1965, before joining the networked news programme Nationwide. It is this connection and the fact that he died at his home at Tresillian in Cornwall that makes him a great signature for this cover.

Information card insert enclosed about The National Trust‘s Enterprise Neptune.

The cover was produced for The Radio Times and was a limited edition of just 1000 covers. 

This is cover 298 Of 1000.
