λ Neville Lytton (British 1879-1951) Portrait of Helen Wills Pastel and chalk Signed lower left 46 x 39cm (18 x 15¼ in.)Helen Newington Wills (October 6, 1905 - January 1, 1998) was an American tennis player, world famous for being the number one player in women's tennis for over nine years (1927-33, 1935 and 1938). Over the course of her career Wills won 31 Grand Slam titles including 19 singles titles. Her record of eight wins at Wimbledon was not surpassed until 1990 when Martina Navratilova won her ninth title at the competition. Unusually for the time, Wills would practice against men, making her a formidable opponent against her female competitors. She was also one of the first women players to play in the shorter and more fashionable knee-length pleated skirts. As a global celebrity, Wills counted both royalty and film stars amongst her friends.

See The Valuable Contents of the Residence of Dante G. Rossetti, 16, Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, To be sold by Auction, by Messrs. T.G Wharton, Martin & Co., 5-7 July 1882 , lot 486 [a facsimile of the catalogue is included with the lot]; 2) Charles Eamer Kempe (1837-1907) who bought Lindfield, Sussex in 1875. Kempe was a stained glass artist and manufacturer and guests at Lindfield included William Morris and William De Morgan. 3) Sotheby's, London, 27 April 1965, lot 27, bought by the current owner. Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood were influenced by Ruskin's theories, and Ruskin in turn praised their devotion to nature and the rejection of conventional methods of composition. The close relationship between Ruskin and Rossetti, however, was short-lived, and from 1856 their relationship became increasingly ambivalent. The inscription here dates from the end of the happy period and may be in the hand of Ruskin's amanuensis George Hobbs. This book would no doubt have been a much-used artistic sourcebook for Rossetti who, after 1856, became an inspiration for the medievalising strand of the pre-Raphaelite movement.
