A Greek memorial medal to Charilaos Trikoupis dated 1896, in gilt with portrait to obverse Charilaos Trikoupis was a member of the Greek Government and prominent in a group of politicians who were resoundingly opposed to the revival of the Olympic Games in 1896. Instead of an athletic Olympic Games Trikoupis had argued for Greece to hold Agro-Industrial competitions at the Zappeion Hall. Trikoupis’s political arguments were not to prevail and the Zappeion became the first indoor venue in Olympic history where the fencing competition was held, and was also part of the first Olympic Village. Coincidentally, Charilaos Trikoupis died during the first week of competition at the 1896 Athens Olympic Games.

He achieved this feat in the featherweight division of the boxing tournament at the London Games of 1908 aged 37 years and 254 days. He had in fact retired when still British amateur featherweight champion in 1896, a title he had held for three consecutive years. This retirement was actually at the request of the ABA as Gunn was far the superior of any of his rivals. In return Gunn served on the ABA Council for more than ten years. When the fighter learned that the Olympic Games were coming to London he resumed training, returned to the ring and won the gold meal at the 1908 Games, before hanging up his gloves for good immediately thereafter. He only ever suffered one defeat in 15 years of boxing. Gunn was born in Charing Cross, London, 16th February 1871 and died at Lambeth, London, 23rd June 1961 aged 90.
The 1912 Stockholm Olympic Games gold prize medal awarded to the British swimmer Jennie Fletcher for the 100 metres Freestyle Relay, 33.5mm, struck in silver-gilt (as usual for 1912 1st Place team awards), designed by Erik Lindberg and Bertram Mackennal, two maidens crowning a victorious athlete, the reverse with a herald proclaiming the Olympic Games, Jennie Fletcher became Britain’s first female Olympic swimming medallist when she won an individual bronze in the 1912 100 metres freestyle final behind two Australians (Fanny Durack, who was using the then brand-new ‘Australian Crawl’ technique, and Mina (Wilhelmina) Wylie). In the relay event gold went to the British team of Bella Moore, Jennie, Annie Speirs and Irene Steer ahead of West Germany and Austria. Jennie swam an outstanding second leg to help earn the British girls a World Record as well as Olympic victory. Born on 19 March, 1890 in Leicester, the seventh of nine children in a family of five girls and four boys, Jennie Fletcher attended Mellow Street Board School and participated as often as possible in swimming competitions and exercises. She later wrote: “Swimming to me was my greatest pleasure and no encouragement was needed for me to compete in polo, diving or swimming. There was no mixed swimming in those days but with special permission my brother Ben was allowed to pace me.” From the age of 11 she was coached at Leicester’s Cossington Street Baths by the celebrated Jack Jarvis, whose characteristic freestyle employing the ‘Jarvis-Nuttall Kick’ had already brought him numerous awards (including two Olympic gold medals for the 1,000 and 4,000 metre open water races swum in the River Seine, Paris, in 1900). Jennie recalled: “Most of the early swimming was single arm and trudgen with the scissors kick going to the crawl in the latter stages. My training was not regimented but consisted of long walks, [and] skipping accompanied by deep breathing exercises.” In 1906, at the age of 34, Jarvis added a silver and two bronze medals to his own Olympic tally in the interim Athens Games, by which time Jennie was challenging for her first British record for the Ladies’ 100 yards freestyle. She went on to win 6 Amateur Swimming Association titles for the distance before 1912, setting a new world record in 1909. Working long hours with her father, who nevertheless gave her great support and encouragement as an amateur, she succeeded in winning numerous trophies and awards. She retained the Dewar Shield after winning it three years in succession, broke her own record on 11 occasions, and became British champion 6 times. At the London Olympics of 1908 it was decided, after much deliberation, that swimming competition for Ladies would be permitted; however uncertainty and a late decision meant that in the event there were too few entries to proceed. At the time this must have come as a huge disappointment for Jennie, whose parents had recently declined on her behalf the opportunity of a professional tour of America with the celebrated Annette Kellerman. At Stockholm in 1912, however, there was a strong British Ladies’ contingent, chaperoned by Jack Jarvis’s sister. Jennie later said: “The crowning moment of my career was when King Gustav of Sweden placed the classic laurel wreath on my head, put the gold medal round my neck, and said, ‘Well done, England!’”. In 1917 Jennie married Henry Hill Hyslop and the couple settled in Canada, where they farmed and had six children. Jennie died in 1968. Provenance: Bequeathed by the recipient Jennie Hyslop, née Fletcher, to her son Henry Irving Hyslop (1920-2000); bequeathed in turn by H.I. Hyslop to his daughter (and Jennie’s granddaughter) Heather, on behalf of whom it is now offered for sale. A copy of H.I. Hyslop’s Will, including codicil dated 1994 specifying the bequest to Heather of “… my mother’s gold medal from the 1912 Olympics… “ is included in the lot, together with a contemporary portrait postcard captioned ‘Jennie Fletcher Worlds 100 yds Champion’, showing Jennie wearing Leicester Ladies’ Swimming Club costume and a championship medal (see illustration). Copies of other relating documents, including a letter written by Jennie in 1965 to the compiler of a sports encyclopedia, are also offered with the lot. Other items of memorabilia relating to Jennie’s swimming career, including her Olympic laurel wreath, were donated by her daughter to the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Helen Wills (1905-1998) SELF PORTRAIT signed in pencil, an etching exhibited in the 1932 Olympic Arts Competition and Exhibition in Los Angeles, exhibition label verso, mounted together with a cut signature HELEN WILLS MOODY dated from the same year 1932, the etching 15 by 10cm., 6 by 4in.; sold together with an official daily program for the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games, 6th August, carrying two advertisements for the Olympic Arts Competition and Exhibition and map (2) Helen Wills, known as Helen Wills Moody after her marriage to Frederick Moody in 1929, won a total of 19 Grand Slam singles tennis titles between 1923 and 1938, comprising four wins in the French Open, eight at Wimbledon, and seven in the US Open, with twelve doubles and mixed doubles, a total of 31 Grand Slams. Wills also won two Olympic gold medals in Paris in 1924 (singles & doubles), the last time lawn tennis was included in the Olympic programme until its revival in 1988. Disappointingly, therefore, when the Olympic Games came to her native California in 1932 she was unable to compete even though she was still very much at the peak of her powers winning the French and Wimbledon titles earlier in the year. Helen Wills’s participation in the Games, however, was achieved through her artistic talent. In 1928 Helen Wills had illustrated her own book ‘Tennis’ with a series of etchings of tennis players which included a self portrait head on the frontispiece with three of her demonstrating strokes of play. In 1932 her artistic exploits extended to entering her work in the Olympic Arts Competition and Exhibition. The world renowned artist Diego Rivera (1886-1957) was introduced to Helen Wills in November 1930 and later asked her to sit for the head of the central figure of ‘California’ for the fresco in the San Francisco Stock Exchange.
