Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man Illustrated by William Nicholson, a rare advance copy, including the frontispiece of George Sherston and the unamended list of illustrations, including the frontispiece Published by Faber and Faber, 1929, with plates, illustrations and endpapers by Nicholson, with dust jacket 23 x 16cm Provenance: Siegfried Sassoon; And by family descent According to Geoffrey Keynes, 'Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man' 'was to contain a frontispiece representing the author, but this was suppressed after the binding of two or three advance copies'.
English School Early 20th Century Portrait of Siegfried Sassoon's hunter, 'Cockbird' Oil on canvas 33 x 40.6cm Provenance: Siegfried Sassoon; And by family descent Siegfried Sassoon bought Cockbird in 1910 and rode him in eleven point-to-points before the First World War. In 'Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man' he devotes a whole chapter to winning 'The Colonel's Cup', and writes, 'As for Cockbird, no words could ever express what we felt about him. He had become the equine equivalent of Divinity'. When war broke out, Sassoon initially joined the Sussex Yeomanry and gave up the horse to an officer, as Cockbird could not manage a trooper's heavy equipment.
Sir William Nicholson (1872-1949) Flowers and Books (for Siegfried Sassoon) Oil on canvasboard, 1929 40.4 x 29cm Provenance: Siegfried Sassoon; And by family descent Literature: Lillian Browse, William Nicholson (London, Rupert Hart-Davis, 1956), no.392; Patricia Reed, William Nicholson: Catalogue Raisonné of the Oil Paintings (London, Modern Art Press, 2011), p.490, no.626 (illustrated) Siegfried Sassoon and Stephen Tennant were introduced by the Sitwells in 1927. They soon fell in love and began a relationship that lasted nearly six years. Sassoon's diary records that in 1929 he spent '£60 for a picture by William Nicholson for Stephen'. However, given there is no record of Tennant owning a work by Nicholson, it seems that the diary entry must refer to the present work. Instead of giving it to Tennant, it seems highly probable that Sassoon kept the painting, and it has remained in the poet's family ever since. Nicholson and Sassoon were two of the pre-eminent figures of the early 20th Century British artistic and literary worlds. They first met 1918, through another famous war poet Robert Graves, who had married William's daughter Nancy. The following year Nicholson designed labels for 'The War Poems of Siegfried Sassoon', and the two struck up a long-term friendship and working relationship. Sassoon purchased Heytesbury House, his home from 1933 until his death, after staying with Nicholson in nearby Sutton Veny. In 1929, the year the present work was painted, Nicholson also provided the drawings for the illustrated edition of 'Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man'. Nicholson's portrait of Sassoon, intended for the frontispiece, was rejected by the author, although for a rare copy of this, see lot 51. We are grateful to Patricia Reed for her assistance cataloguing the present work.

A JINBAORI (ARMOR SURCOAT) DEPICTING KATO KIYOMASA SLAYING A TIGERJapan, Edo period (1615-1868)Of red felt, applied with gilt leather and silk brocade, and finely embroidered with silk and metal threads to depict a waterfall and three tigers amid bamboo to the front and Kato Kiyomasa in full armor slaying a tiger above two further tigers in bamboo, the tigers all with inlaid eyes.HEIGHT 72 cmCondition: Very good condition with minor surface wear, minor tears, few minuscule losses, few loose threads.Provenance: Czech private collection.Kato Kiyomasa (1562-1611) was a daimyo during the Azuchi-Momoyama and Edo periods. His court title was Higo-no-kami. He was one of Hideyoshi's Seven Spears of Shizugatake, his mounted bodyguards at the battle of Shizugatake in 1583. Kiyomasa was one of the three senior commanders during the Seven-Year (Imjin) War (1592-1598) against the Korean Joseon. During the war, he apparently hunted tigers for sport, using a yari (spear), and later presented the pelts to Hideyoshi. Some versions of the story say he was in fact hunting tigers to catch them alive, in order to bring their meat to Hideyoshi, as he thought it would improve his lord's health, but later, the tigers were killed because of the lack of food for his men.Auction comparison: Compare a related jinbaori, also of red felt and dated to the Edo period, 83 cm high, at Christie's, Japanese Art and Design, 10 November 2010, London, lot 141 (sold for 4,375 GBP).
