![](http://lot-images.atgmedia.com/SR/35498/2787440/160_small.JPG "<p>An England shirt worn by Tommy Taylor, the badge intact. The white number 9 shirt worn by Tommy, and sent to `James``, from Mr & Mrs Taylor. The letter poignantly reads `Dear James, I am just writing these few lines in answer to your most welcome letter and to let you know we received the order for flowers for Tommy`s grave, thank you very much. Well James I am sending you a souvenir in remembrance of Tommy, it is one of his international shirts I hope you will live a long time to remember it. Me and Mrs Taylor are hoping to get to the Cup tie with Sheffield W. Let me know James, when you have received this so I shall be satisfied you have got it. Best Wishes to all, Mr & Mrs Taylor. Thomas "Tommy" Taylor (29 January 1932 – 6 February 1958) was an English footballer, who was known for his aerial ability. He was one of the eight Manchester United players who lost their lives in the Munich air disaster. Taylor began his career playing for a local coal mining team at the colliery where he worked. At the age of just 16, local scouts offered him the chance to play for Barnsley, whom he joined in July 1949. He made his first team debut on 7 October 1950, in a 3–1 home win against Grimsby Town. In his next match, on 4 November 1950, Taylor scored a hat-trick in a 7–0 victory against Queens Park Rangers. In all he scored seven goals in twelve appearances in 1950–51. After scoring 26 goals in 44 games at Barnsley, who had been unable to progress beyond the Second Division, Taylor was transferred to defending First Division champions Manchester United in March 1953 for a fee of £29,999 (Matt Busby did not want to burden young Taylor as being a “30,000 pounds player”. So taking out his wallet, he pulled from it a 1 pound note and handed it to the lady who had been serving up the teas in the Boardroom). He got off to a great start, scoring twice on his debut. By the end of the 1952–53 season, Taylor had scored seven goals in his first 11 games for United. He eventually led the team to league titles in 1955–56 and 1956–57 and scored in the 1957 FA Cup Final, when United were denied the double as they lost 2–1 to Aston Villa (winners of the competition for a then record seventh time). Such was Taylor`s worth that Matt Busby decided to reject an offer of £65,000 for him from Internazionale in 1957. Had the deal gone through, then it would have broken the world transfer record. Tommy was arguably the greatest centre-forward to play for England, let alone Manchester United, of this era. He was certainly one of the most underrated of all-time and his scoring record would have been staggering in any era. For United he managed two goals every three matches; put another way, he found the net once every two hours or so that he spent on a football pitch. Yet when the all-time greats are mentioned, his name does not always crop up outside Old Trafford circles. At the time of his emergence, many saw Taylor as the perfect eventual replacement for the ageing Nat Lofthouse in the England side. In all, he played 19 times for England, scoring 16 goals. Taylor died instantly in the Munich air disaster, and at the time was engaged to his fiancée Carol. He is buried at Monk Bretton Cemetery in his hometown Barnsley.. </p>")

See illustration.</p><p>This sculpture is illustrated on page 80 of the Catalogue RaisonnÈ compiled by Annette Ratuszniak to accompany the Exhibition in Salisbury in 2004. The work was included in this exhibition as well as at Heals Mansard Gallery in 1937, the Dorset County Museum in 1976 and 1981 and the Southampton City Art Gallery in 1982. Provenance: Private Collection, Bath.</p><p>Purchased from the artist and thence by descent. </p><p>Mary Spencer Watson (1913-2006). The daughter of the successful artist and Royal Academician, George Spencer Watson, and Avant-garde Mime artist Hilda, Mary Spencer Watson was one of the last centuries most successful sculptors. Discovering sculpture in its most immediate form amongst the stonecutters of the Purbeck Hills, Mary first experienced the thrill of carving when a local Quarry owner lent her some tools. After a long training, first at the Slade and the Royal Academy Schools, then a more specific sculpture study followed with John Skeaping at the Central of School of Art. It was during this period that she absorbed the then prevailing notion of truth to materials and direct carving. Maryís sculpture developed quickly, and after a spell working with Ossip Zadkine in Paris she went on to have a highly successful career working from Dunshay Manor. Maryís first solo exhibition was held, appropriately, at the Mansard Gallery at Helas of Tottenham Court Road, in 1937. This current sculpture was part of this exhibition. The Mansard Gallery reflected Ambrose Heal`s personal interest in the arts, and became something of a home for the ëLondon Groupí of artists for a short period. A non-commercial venture, the gallery focused more on the decorative arts following the mid 1920ís and Maryís exhibition will have fitted well into the mix of fashionable and well selected work of the period. ëWoman With a Bookí at 92cms high is a powerful and confident work, the figure, with head in hand, is a striking example of mid 1930ís sculpture. Bold in conception, but not overly adorned with ornament, the lines are reminiscent of the best work of the period without being a slavish or uninspired reworking of prevailing concerns. When looking at this work it is hard to understand why until recent years her work was so little known in artistic circles. In later life Mary spent most of her time working in Purbeck stone, and produced many sculptures that have adorned both public and private spaces. Most notably the four figures in the north porch of Wells Cathedral and more locally the ëPurbeck Quarrymaní in the churchyard at Langton Matravers, show Maryís mature and confident later work. </p>")
