Six: Captain A. H. Waddy, Bedfordshire Regiment, later Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force, who first enlisted under the Tricolour in August 1914 as a Private in the French Army 1914-15 Star (2.Lieut. A. H. Waddy. Bedf. R.); British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. A. H. Waddy. R.A.F.); France, Third Republic, War Commemorative Medal 1914-18, bronze; Inter-Allied Victory Medal 1914-19, bronze; Croix du Combatant Voluntaire 1914-18, bronze, good very fine and better (6) £400-£500 --- Alexander Harry Waddy was born at Regent's Park, London, on 25 April 1896, the son of Harry Waddy, a member of the London Stock Exchange. Educated at Cheltenham College from 1910-13, he crossed the Channel to France a short while later in order to improve his language skills. His life at this time was carefully detailed by The Evening Sentinel on 30 August 1934: 'At the outbreak of the war, he was in France, studying French, and, with a patriotism that was typical of his character, he at once joined the French Army as a private.' With the declaration of war on 29 July 1914, a call was made for foreigners residing in France to support their adopted country. While many would have preferred direct enlistment in the regular French Army, the only option immediately available was that of the Foreign Legion. On 3 August 1914 a reported 8,000 volunteers applied to enlist in the Paris recruiting office of the Legion. The speed of the German Advance in accordance with the Schlieffen Plan caught the French Army heavily by surprise, not least the enemy proximity to Paris in early September 1914. Detailing every available man to the defence of the city and famously utilising over 600 taxicabs to carry soldiers from Les Invalides to Nanteuil-le-Haudouin, some fifty kilometres away, the German sweep was halted - something which the French later termed 'The Miracle on the Marne'. With the front temporarily stabilised, Waddy returned to England and was appointed to a commission in the Bedfordshire Regiment on 11 May 1915. Posted to France from 7 July 1915 with the 1st Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, Waddy arrived in the aftermath of the defence of Hill 60 - likely as a replacement - and was later moved south in defence of the Somme. In 1916, the 1st Battalion witnessed heavy action at High Wood and Guillemont and took part in the Battles of Morval and Le Transloy. Transferred to the 7th Battalion, Waddy was mentioned in the Battalion war diary of 5 October 1917 during practise exercises near Irish Farm and Canal Bank, in preparation for his unit going into the line during the Battle of Passchendaele. The war diary later adds: 'The mud was very bad and duck-boards few. The men suffered considerably from cold and wet. The line consisted of shell holes filled with water.' Keen to leave the life of an infantryman, Waddy transferred to the Royal Flying Corps on 5 February 1918 and was posted to 21 Squadron. Qualifying Temporary 2nd Lieutenant (Observer) 5 April 1918, he was sent to Armaments School at R.A.F. Uxbridge for Pilot training; the war subsequently ended before Waddy had the opportunity to take on the Luftwaffe and he relinquished his commission on 9 February 1919 after taking employment as managing director of T. R. Boote Ltd, Waterloo Potteries (Tile Manufacturers), Burslem. Married to a local girl in 1918, Waddy soon became a popular and successful industrialist. Appointed Lieutenant in the 5th Battalion, North Staffordshire Regiment (Territorial Army) on 28 December 1928, he was placed in the command of "C" (Burslem) Company and set up home at Standon House, Standon. Beset by a sudden illness, Waddy died a few years later at the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary on 29 August 1934, his loss much lamented by his family and workforce of over 250 people: 'He was a soldier of ability and a man of understanding, and he has helped, by his knowledge, fairness and grit, to keep the flag flying' (The recipient's obituary, refers). Waddy's premature death at the age of 38 years proved the first of many tragedies for his family; both of his sons died during the Second World War, the first, Midshipman Roger Latham Waddy, R.N.V.R., being killed whilst piloting a swordfish aircraft on a depth-charge practice sortie on 16 July 1941, the second, Major Alexander Peter Harry Waddy, being killed in action at Arnhem on 18 September 1944 whilst leading "B" Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Parachute Brigade, in an attempt to destroy a panzer using a 'Gammon' bomb. Sold with copied R.A.F. Service Record, newspaper entries, and a photographic image of the recipient in officer’s uniform.

Lady Alfred Welby original autobiography in typescript, written in her 76th year and dedicated to her children titled 'From The Golden Age To The Kitchen Sink, The Memories of a Grandmother', containing a photographic portrait of the artist at work in her studio, 130 numbered pages and copy of a letter from Lucy Baldwin at 10 Downing Street, she describes visiting H.G. Wells “he gave me the impression of a shy rather awkward diffident little man”, another of meeting Bernard Shaw “from what I could make out Bernard Shaw was only interested in and wished to talk of Bernard Shaw”, that it was around 1919 she started her career as a sculptor encouraged by Frank Dicksee, that one of her works was purchased by the Princess Royal, she talks of working on a portrait of Mrs Churchill but after her sitter fell ill the work was postponed...and was never completed. Another time whilst working on a bronze portrait of Baden-Powell and having difficulty creating the little 'wolf' badge he wore she went to the Scouts HQ and asked if they could lend her one, to which the clerk replied sternly “what do you mean, never has there been such a request, don’t you know that only the chief and His Majesty the King are entitled to wear the wolf” [Disiree Welby 1878-1969 – Sculptor, with works in the V&A)

Frederic, Lord Leighton, P.R.A., R.W.S. (British, 1830-1896), The Sluggard, bronze, signed 'Fred Leighton' and with title to the front of the plinth, inscribed 'FOUNDED BY J.W. SINGERS & SONS./FROME SOMERSET' (on the plinth) and further inscribed 'PUBLISHED BY ARTHUR LESLIE COLLIE/39?B OLD BOND STREET LONDON/MAY 1?s?t 1890.' (on the plinth), 51.5cm high Note: Turning to sculpture late in his career, Frederic Leighton is considered to be the father of New School sculpture, in particular for his Athlete wrestling with a Python of 1877 and The Sluggard. The Sluggard is well-known and celebrated, and casts are in a number of prominent museum collections including Tate Gallery (London), the Ashmolean Museum (Oxford), Royal Academy of Arts (London), and the Minneapolis Institute of Fine Arts (Minneapolis, USA).The inspiration for the Sluggard came from Leighton’s life-drawing model Gaetano Valona stretching during a break between poses. The work was originally called Athlete Awakening from Sleeping, and was first executed in 1882. Leighton struck a balance between the real and the ideal in this life-size bronze sculpture of a perfect male body. Earlier models include a fig leaf which was a convention intended to neutralise any sexual appeal while the sculpture was on public display.This bronze is a sketch for the finished work and one of an edition cast by Singer and Sons of Frome, Somerset. It is the version that was produced for the collectors’ market, a reduced version of the finished work never being cast. Singer and Sons set up their new foundry capable of casting using the lost wax and sand casting processes in 1888. Rights to market the model from 1890 were bought by Arthur Leslie Collie who sold these and other New School sculpture from his joint premises with Agnew’s in Old Bond Street. A bronze cast which bore his name and that of the founder Singer and Sons was exhibited at the Arts and Crafts exhibition of 1890. By 1901 Collie was no longer associated with Agnew’s and by 1906 he was no longer listed in the art directory. Casts made under Collie’s name can be accurately dated to this period.Robert Bowman – ‘Sir Alfred Gilbert and the New Sculpture’Provenance: Formerly in the collection of Alexander Meyrick Broadley (1847-1916) and thence by descent Very good untouched condition, a glossy mid chocolate to green patination throughout, signed in the bronze and impressed to the plinth with the title and to the back of the plinth published by Arthur Leslie Colley, 39b Old Bond Street, London May 1st 1890, with foundry mark also impressed to the back of the plinth.PLEASE NOTE:- Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested BEFORE the auction takes place.

Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (1891-1915) “Torpedo Fish” (1914) cast between 1960 -1962 Bronze on a square base, one of two casts by Michael Gillespie before the 1968 edition of nine, 19.5cm high (including base)Provenance: H.S. Ede, Cambridge Roger Cole, Cambridge Sold to a Private Collector Purchased back by Roger Cole in 2018 Purchased by the present vendor from Roger Cole in 2019 Literature: Roger Cole, "Burning to Speak: The Life and Art of Henri Gaudier Brzeska", Phaidon, Oxford, 1978, cat. no.63B, illustrated p.117 (another cast); Evelyn Silber, "Gaudier-Brzeska: Life and Art", London, Thames & Hudson, 1996, cat. no.80, p.270 (another cast) In 1910 Gaudier-Brzeska set out to become an artist in London without any formal training. He travelled to England with Sophie Brzeska, a Polish writer he had met when he was eighteen and she was twice his age; he would later take her surname, but the pair never married. In London, he fell in with the Vorticist movement, led by Ezra Pound and Percy Wyndham Lewis, and was also influenced by Jacob Epstein to move away from the highly finished classical style of sculpture to a more earthy, direct form of working that left visible the fingerprint of the artist and his tools. Formative to his work, too, was Cubism, and the non-European visual culture he studied at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum.Ideologically, Gaudier-Brzeska was fascinated by the natural world and felt alienated from urban culture, although he never strayed from city life. The tension between his desire to represent nature and the driving force of modernity and city life - electricity - as espoused by Vorticism, is reflected in "Torpedo Fish". Inspired by an electric ray, which can produce their own electrical discharge, "Torpedo Fish" or “Ornament torpille bronze cisele” was originally made in 1914 as a cut brass sculpture, as listed in Gaudier-Brzeska’s List of Works that he compiled before leaving to fight in the First World War. He also lists a plaster model of the sculpture. The cut brass version was sold to T.E. Hulme, one of the theorists of Vorticism, and was one of a number of small sculptures he made to amuse close friends and associates that he referred to as ‘toys’.After Gaudier-Brzeska’s died in the First World War, his estate passed to Sophie Brzeska, much of which in turn was purchased by Harold Stanley ‘Jim’ Ede in the 1920s after Sophie, too, died. Jim Ede was an art collector, champion of Modern Art and friend of a great many avant-garde artists, whose home and collections now form the museum Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge.Between 1960 and 1962 Ede commissioned Michael Gillespie, an artist and master bronze caster, to make two casts of "Torpedo Fish". The present example was purchased from Ede by Roger Cole in 1962, the other was kept by Ede. In 1968, he commissioned a further nine bronze casts from Gillespie, each numbered on the lower edge. Again, Ede kept two, and the rest were sold to dealers and galleries, and one of which is now held in the Tate. The finish is original and as the artist (Gillespie) intended with remnants of gilt / copper patination and with various tool marks throughout.Some minimal edge small edge dents and blemishes that may or may not be original to the piece.The base is a later addition, a threaded nut has been drilled and tapped into the underside of the sculpture (see additional condition report images with the base removed).
