Lot 397
The Royal photographic collection of Colonel Vassa Voynovich otherwise known as 'John Scott'.A remarkable archive of photographs from the most respected Royal photographer of the 20th century. Note: This lot was withdrawn from a previous sale and please be aware it is being sold with an on going copyright dispute despite having a sworn assignment of copyright from the vendor. We therefore offer no guarantee as to the purchaser's entitlement.Over 4000 colour transparencies dating from 1949 up to the early 1980s.Voynovich came to England in the 1940s after escaping occupied Yugoslavia. Originally from a remote Serbian village, he had already experienced a life of danger and intrigue. As a 17 year old in World War I, he had commanded a platoon on the Russian front during which time he was taken prisoner, escaped, wounded, returned to command a battalion, wounded again, then used his recuperation in hospital to study Law and gained a Doctorate from Zagreb University. Between the wars he held several important military and civilian posts before ending up in German-occupied France in 1940. In 1941 he escaped to England via Paris on a train reserved for German Generals, carrying three different passports and smuggling out important Intelligence reports as well as a cache of British and American currency. The young King Peter of Yugoslavia, who had himself escaped the German invasion of his country and was living in London in a suite at Claridges, appointed Voynovich his Private Secretary, Master of the Royal Household, Keeper of the Privy Purse and Political Adviser. Voynovich spent several years in the service of the young King Peter, but when the King decided to move his household on to Monaco, Voynovich, fearing a life of indolence, declined to accompany him. Instead, he resolved to remain in England and become a photographer. He took his Leica camera everywhere he went, often his hosts at weekend country house parties would invite him to take pictures. Before long, the young Princess Elizabeth saw some of these photos of her friends. The official process in order to gain a photographers pass to Royal events was to apply to the Palace each month when the Royal engagements were published. However, Scott's diplomatic contacts gave him unparalleled access. He was a friend of Sir 'Jock' Colville who was Princess Elizabeth's Private Secretary (and had also been assistant Private Secretary to three wartime Prime Ministers: Chamberlain, Churchill and Attlee). Through Colville, Elizabeth requested that Voynovich photograph her in uniform during one of her first Trooping the Colour ceremonies. This was a success and he was asked again in 1951 when she took the salute herself as the King was ill. The resulting photograph of her in the scarlet tunic of the Grenadier Guards was the image that the new Queen chose after she had succeeded to the throne, to be shown in cinemas whenever the national anthem was played. The success of this photograph really launched Voynovich's photographic career. It was at this time that he changed his name to the more manageable John Scott, partly because in his native Yugoslavia, photographers were considered third class citizens.As an ex-cavalry officer with equestrian expertise and having been a member of the diplomatic service he was very well positioned to intimately capture favourite Royal events such as Ascot, Badminton and Windsor Horse Show. He had a great passion for horses which was shared by all the Royal Family. Scott was also extremely charming and his diplomatic experience meant he was suave and comfortable around Royalty. In addition, he spoke 10 languages which made him very useful.One of the Royals once told him "You are the only photographer who lasts with Lillibet, because when you are taking pictures you behave accordingly, and when you are not, you are one of us."Although initially reluctant to exploit his connections, he was advised to employ an agent. His agent found him an unconventional client - he refused to charge any royalties for the Trooping the Colour photograph, "I am not a shopkeeper!" he protested, but his scruples changed and his work went on to command the highest fees from magazines and publishers around the world. His clients included a number of well-known British publications including Woman's Own magazine where in 1953, he met Judy Appelbee (nee Stoakes) who was a secretary. His contract work for Woman's Own was more conventional in nature and he often needed a model. Judy was clever and beautiful and he persuaded her to pose for him. They shared a love of horses. It was the beginning of a career-long collaboration which placed Judy in front of, and also behind the camera, and in which she found herself rubbing shoulders with and photographing the upper echelons of the aristocracy and the Royals. She was to become his assistant for the next 30 years.Together they photographed numerous Royal events all over the world and took some of the most iconic Royal images of the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Judy retired to Cornwall with her husband. When Voinovich died in 1986, he left his photographic collection to Judy. As well as the two occasions the Queen requested Scott to photograph her for the Trooping of the Colour, other notable photo shoots of his career (although not included in this lot) include the 3 year-old Prince Charles and his baby sister Anne in the gardens at Clarence House. A selection of these photographs was sent by the then Princess Elizabeth to Prince Philip in Malta where he was on active service. Official commissions included the formal portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales used for a special Crown Agents' Omnibus Series of postage stamps to commemorate her 21st birthday amongst the Commonwealth countries. He also did a series of 19 official portraits of Prince Charles in uniforms with full military and naval regalia, see lot 397A for prints, copyright for these belong to the Crown.Some of the most remarkable images include Prince Charles laughing with Mother Theresa in India in 1980 and in complete contrast, the Prince dancing with scantily clad carnival dancers in Brazil. Also iconic images of Charles and Diana announcing their engagement and on honeymoon at Balmoral, looking happy and comfortable in each other's company. In 1971 Prince Phillip took up carriage driving. In 1973, Scott was asked to help organise a Yugoslavian team to compete in the European Carriage Driving Championships at Windsor. Scott acted as interpreter. They competed with four bay Lippizzaner stallions and brought a team of reserve horses. One was presented to Princess Anne and another to Scott as a thank you for his assistance. There many images of these beautiful horses and others belonging to Princess Anne. When Scott died, as well as inheriting his photographic archive, Judy also inherited his Lippizaner and brought it to Cornwall.Looking through the thousands of images in this archive, covering almost forty years, it is possible to see the Royal family grow up before ones eyes. Knowing them now, in their older years, it is easy to forget how dashing Prince Charles and Prince Andrew were, how poised and stylish Princess Anne was or the luminous beauty of Princess Margaret and indeed our current Queen. Yet everything is here, from childhood to maturity, Royal engagements with all their pomp and ceremony to unguarded family moments between the Queen and her children. It is an astonishing collection.The collection consists of colour transparencies housed in plastic display sleeves that hold 12 or 20 transparencies. Many are annotated with date and location.5 filing boxes containing 3917 transparencies and 9 folders containing 623 transparencies, assorted prints and some negatives. Some of the contents of the folders are duplicates of images in the boxes. (See inside back cover illustrations)
