Manfred von Richthofen, the highest scoring ace of the First World War, was brought down on April 21, 1918, most likely by Australian gunners. After the crash, MvR's body was removed and his famous all-red triplane, number 425/17, was immediately set upon by souvenir hunters. Many of those souvenirs still exist today.

Printed on acid free rag paper, the prints measure 25" x 16.75. The edition consists of 425 prints, each of which is signed and numbered by Russell Smith.

Also available are a very limited number of prints on canvas. The canvas edition consists of only 17 prints. Prints on canvas measure 26" x 15".
