Apologies, tikitnet…
It said “and if anyone knows where I can find any other artists” and so I posted about one of them. But it was/is unclear WHERE/HOW to do this… so I put it in here, so if that’s not correct, I am sorry.
It is all rather confusing, but if anyone wishes to contact me, in the first instance, please go take a look at http://nikhenville.co.uk/ and we’ll take it from there.

Hello

In my early twenties I worked for that lovely man – George Kamm.
I produced some 20 covers at that time for him, including ‘A Kid for Two Farthings’ and ‘The Desperate Hours’. These were published as Book of the Film.
I left Pan at the advent Of Tony Bowen-Davies and joined – I hope this isn’t a dirty word for you – Panther!
My regards / Derek Stowe

My father (Peter Allingham Henville) did a number of covers, Agatha Chrisie’s amongst them, during the sixties/seventies. His “agent” (Bowen Davies?) always insisted they needed to be “unatributed”, which always seemed strange. I do recall the artwork was almost photographicaly detailed close-ups – and I recall a “mantra” which went “No blood, no guns and NO purple…..”

Are you the Peter Henville I worked with in the 50s at Art In Marketing, Shoe Lane? If so, you bought me my first LP record when I left for National Service.

Hello Spike , I have just read your post regards to Peter Henville. I have just purchased a painting by him and I’m trying to find out a little more about his other work and where he fits in . I understand he did a lot of commercial work but I can’t find much detail .

Thanks

Paul

Hi nick just read your blog and am currently researching your father. I recently found an old painting in a nursing home in the skip, it is a watercolour of a ww2 hurricane and is signed peter a henville, could it possibly be by your father?

On two counts I think it very likely:
1) He and his third wife ran an OP home down south
2) He loved to paint ‘planes
