Does anybody has any photos-drawings of the Greek ironclads
Vasilefs Georgios & Queen Olga?
I can find only 2 pics but no any drawings of these ships.

I would be very leery of this drawing. Many similar artistic pieces have only a vague similarity to the real thing.

Besides this colorful version, I found several similar different design on different sites.
So i'm quite sure it's accurate.
What I am certain is that the two ships are not a homogeneous class and are very different.

For sure these two ships were not similar designs!
Vasilefs Georgios was a central battery ironclad & Olga
was a full deck battery similar with HMS Warior & La Gloire.
Thanks for the help guys.

That's from "Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1860-1905", p. 387
Sorry for rather poor quality.
