Provenance obtained from the Vendor"On the 31st July 1967 I was returning from Italy having spent 2 weeks there as my prize for winning a scholarship from Rochdale Art College. I was in the arrivals area when I saw Paul McCartney surrounded by about 5 American female fans saying " Is it really you Paul, can I touch you?" I gave him my one year passport with a pen to get his autograph. As he wrote 'Paul' the pen began to run out and I exclaimed "Bloody hell fire!" to which he replied " You mean flippin heck". He finished the autograph and then I approached John who was leaning up against the wall with his floral jacket over his shoulder and there was no dialogue as he signed his autograph. I distinctly recall the white coloured jeans Paul was wearing which had a nursery rhyme patten on them and he had a military type top on. I later learnt that they were returning from a holiday in Greece"Signed letter available to purchaser. Please see accompanying images.

JOHN BURNINGHAM (B. 1936) 'TRUBLOFF': TRUBLOFF CAUTIOUSLY CAME OUT FROM THE OLD GYPSY'S POCKET... Ink, tissue paper and paint, framed, signed on label verso 48cm x 80cm (18.75in x 31.5in) Note; The original illustration for 'Trubloff: The Mouse Who Wanted to Play the Balalaika', first published by Jonathan Cape in 1964. The inspiration for Trubloff was a winter trip to Yugoslavia which Burningham made with a friend in 1956. "We went to a wedding by sleigh, which took about four hours. Everyone was drunk on slivovitz (Plum Brandy) including the driver. Gypsies played non-stop during the three days of the wedding and I was greatly impressed by their music. Trubloff was based on fact except that I never came across a mouse with a balalaika in Yugoslavia"

"I was never caned, and did not go to one of those authoritarian schools. I feel very sympathetic to the teaching profession. It's a tough existence. However, the total relish which most children enjoy Sir's comeuppance in the rafters with the gorilla makes you wonder how much wisdom there is in authoritarianism." John Burningham
JOHN BURNINGHAM (B. 1936) 'CANNONBALL SIMP': SIMP WAS WHAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD CALL AN UGLY LITTLE DOG Mixed media on paper, with sketch verso of black dogs, framed, signed on label verso 24cm x 38cm (9.5in x 15in) Note: The original illustration for 'Cannonball Simp', first published by Jonathan Cape, London, 1966. Simp was inspired by Burningham's wife's dog Lulu, a black Belgian barge dog who she found abandoned in a stairwell in Israel and brought back by boat to Marseilles. "She did get very fat and round in old age" comments John "which I suppose is where the suggestion of a cannonball came".
ANONYMOUS EDWARDIAN MUSIC HALL POSTER, CIRCA 1900 advertising THE MUSICAL SCHÄFERS, lithographic print 149cm x 51cm (58.5in x 20.25in) Note: This poster advertises The Musical Schäfers and their Novelty Revolving Sunflower act, one of the hundreds of comedy acts that toured the music halls and variety theatres in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Established performers who could afford it all had their own posters designed and printed so that they could be pasted up in the towns they were appearing with overposted slips noting the venue. Performers' contracts of the day often stipulated that entertainers had to provide their advertising material, sending it to the theatre manager at the venue before their appearance. This brightly coloured poster clearly aimed to capture the spirit of the act even if it doesn't explain how the sunflowers revolved or how they were made. Presumably the act consisted of the girl and the white-faced clown, the girl acting as a 'straight' foil to the comical musical business of the clown. The unusual long, thin shape of the poster was also designed to be eye-catching.
JOHN BURNINGHAM (B. 1936) 'HARQUIN': THE NEXT DAY THE GAMEKEEPER WENT TO SEE THE SQUIRE Mixed media, framed, signed on label verso 46cm x 38cm (18in x 15in) Note: Original illustration for 'Harquin: The Fox Who Went Down to the Valley', first published by Jonathan Cape, London, 1968 "My true interest is in landscape and light. I haven't been to endless life classes but what I have done is made pilgrimages to look at landscapes". Harquin was inspired by one such landscape near Salisbury along the top of the downs one early morning.
TILLER-CLOWES FAMILY TROUPE ENGLISH MARIONETTE OF A SAILOR FIDDLER, LATE 19TH CENTURY painted wood and fabric 70cm x 18cm x 9cm Note: This marionette of a one-eyed, peg-legged sailor fiddler was known as Tommy One-Leg. It was specially made for the popular comic music hall song 'How Cruel Were My Parients' (sic)'. It was sung by Tommy's wife, relating the fate of her husband who lost his eye and leg when he was press-ganged into the navy, and how he was reduced to busking in the streets with her. [V&A]
TILLER-CLOWES FAMILY TROUPE THREE ENGLISH TRICK MARIONETTES, LATE 19TH CENTURY painted wood and fabric, comprising STRETCHING AND SHRINKING CLOWN, unclothed except for neck ruff, white face and red mohican, 68cm x 14cm x 11cm; MOTHER SHIPTON, 94cm x 37cm x 10cm (when assembled) and SCARAMOUCHE, 99cm x 25cm x 25cm (3) Note: Mother Shipton featured as a character in 18th-century plays, and in 1712 the puppeteer Martin Powell advertised the play 'Mother Shipton and the Downfall of Cardinal Wolsey'. The same play was mentioned by the American journalist James Ralph in 1728, writing about the English puppet theatre. From early Tudor times, Mother Shipton was considered a prophetess, both in her local Yorkshire and around the country. Her many prophesies are said to have included the death of Wolsey, the Civil Wars and the Great Fire of London. She appears in illustrations as an ugly old lady with a hooked nose and an upturned chin. Pepys referred to Mother Shipton, with her appearing as a character in 17th-century plays and pantomime as well as in the puppet theatre where she was usually a trick puppet who smoked a pipe. [V&A]
TILLER-CLOWES FAMILY TROUPE ENGLISH TRICK MARIONETTE OF GRAND TURK, LATE 19TH CENTURY painted wood and fabric, comprised of six detachable parts forming a trick figure largest component 35cm x 8cm x 12cm Note: One of marionette theatre's most celebrated acts, the Grand Turk, comes apart into separate little figures. Skilled manipulation of the perfectly adjusted marionette releases limbs and heads which then form several smaller characters taking on a life of their own, sometimes dancing a cotillion. Its most common incarnation was as a Turkish gentleman who transformed into the Chief Eunuch and the ladies of the Harem, but there have been many variations over the years. {Punch and Judy on the web]
CODMAN THREE PARTS OF A RARE PUNCH AND JUDY BOOTH PROSCENIUM, POSSIBLY LATE 19TH CENTURY wood, fabric, paint, in period wooden box 62cm x 65cm x 46cm Note: Codman's Punch & Judy was started in Llandudno in 1860 by Richard Codman, a travelling showman who was stranded in Llandudno after his horse died. In 1864 he gained approval to perform on Llandudno promenade. Today, the show is performed by the 5th generation of the Codman family.
JOHN MICHAEL BLUNDALL (1937-2014) PUPPET OF PARKER FROM THUNDERBIRDS carved and painted wood and fabric 57cm x 15cm x 7cm Note: Aloysius Parker was created in 1965 when Gerry and Sylvia Anderson commissioned the puppet character for the pioneering Supermarionation television seriesThunderbirds. John Blundall sculpted the original puppet for the show, referencing "typical, clichéd butlers in black-and-white English comedy films". He commented that he "made Parker look so unlike the other puppets just to be bloody-minded, because I wanted to prove that to produce really strong characters in puppets, you need to stylize them and find two or three characteristics to combine and communicate with." David Graham, who voiced the character with a heavy cockney accent, had been taken by Gerry Anderson to hear the voice of a certain wine waiter who was supposed to have been a royal butler. "I just made him a bit more villainous", said Graham. Parker became a celebrated TV "star" on both sides of the Atlantic. While the original, screen-used Parker was made from fibreglass, Blundall carved this later, non screen-used version from wood. In the serial, Parker - nicknamed "Nosey" - was butler to Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, a young aristocrat who was a field agent for International Rescue. Parker had a criminal past and underworld status. Lady Penelope discovered him robbing a safe belonging to an oil tycoon and enlisted his help in her espionage activities. However, his official duties included being a faithful butler and chauffeur of her pink Rolls-Royce, FAB 1.

The Bargnocla in Blundall's collection is a later version of the popular figure.
