Each army regiment has a regimental colour (with their battle honours on it). During Trooping the Colour, they parade it in front of the sovereign. Lot of marching and ceremony and so forth. It occurs on Horse Guards incidentally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, take topics to the correct threads and try to contain your personal verbal slap fights to PMs. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Ah- ok then! It's still not a great design in my opinion, but it's good to know there was a reason for the theme. And of course, it's always more meaningful to the local fans whatever the design is. Educating ignorant Americans thru GnR lithos- that's doing the lord's work right there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the reason is cause Arian Buhler's an artist, and artists are flaky and do things on their own time, and not cause he forgot completely. Like he did with the Perth poster. I rely on Buhler's instagram to get the best shots of these things. And London 1 is my favorite in a long time, so I really hope we see the high res shots asap.

Even that can be easily identified by a anyone who ever saw a real litho. This seller has 100% rating since 1999... As usual with ebay though, "buyer beware" - I'm in no way encouraging anyone to buy these items Edited June 18, 2017 by Alexpro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The fact that he has several unnumbered lithos listed at just $100 is enough of a red flag for me. I hope people are smart enough to avoid them, but fools and their money, you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexpro Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Both London shows lithos are now on ebay from a US seller at $250 a pop... seems a tad excessive to me, yet you can't put a price on the piece of art. Same seller wants $100 for an event t-shirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
