A surely unique opportunity to acquire in a single offering at auction a complete set of cased gold, silver and bronze prize medals from the 1908 London Olympic Games all awarded to Great Britain competitors, each with an identical design by Bertram Mackennal, by Vaughton of Birmingham in hallmarked gold, silver and bronze, two young maidens are crowning a winning athlete, the reverse with St George slaying the dragon, the gold medal in a red leather case with maroon velvet lining, the silver medal in a dark blue case with purple velvet lining, and the bronze medal in a tan leather case with emerald green velvet lining, the rim of each medal and its case lid inscribed as follows: WINNER, WATER POLO, CHARLES SYDNEY SMITH; OLYMPIC GAMES, WINNER, WATER POLO, LONDON, 1908 SECOND PRIZE RUNNING DEER TEAMS OLYMPIC GAMES, SECOND PRIZE, RUNNING DEER, TEAMS, LONDON, 1908 THIRD PRIZE BANTAM BOXING OLYMPIC GAMES, THIRD PRIZE, BANTAM BOXING, LONDON, 1908 Surely a unique opportunity to acquire examples of all three prize medals from the first London Olympic Games of 1908 in one lot at auction. The gold medal was presented to Charles Sydney Smith (1876-1951). He was born in Wigan the ninth of eleven children. He was the Great Britain water polo goalkeeper who won back-to-back golds at London 1908 & Stockholm 1912 and then, remarkably, returned to the sport aged 41, to help win British gold for a third time at Antwerp in 1920. For the complete record he was still competing at Paris in 1924, but GB were eliminated in the first round. At Stockholm in 1912 he became the first competing athlete to be invited to be the team’s flag bearer at the Opening Ceremony. The silver medal relates to the Great Britain team that finished second in the men’s team single shot running deer competition, one of 15 events in the shooting programme at the London 1908 Games. The team consisted of four marksmen Charles Nix, William Russell Lane-Joynt, Walter Ellicott and Ted Ranken. It is not known to whom this particular medal was awarded. A deer-shaped target made 10 runs of 75 feet which lasted about four seconds. Each competitor was allowed one shot per run from a distance of 110 yards. Concentric circles were drawn on the ‘deer’ with 1-4 points available on the target. Great Britain narrowly missed out on gold accumulating one point less than Sweden’s winning score of 86 from a possible 160 points. The bronze medal was won by the British bantamweight boxer William ‘Wally’ Webb. Britain in fact won a clean sweep of medals in this weight division. Wally Webb had lost to his compatriot John Condon in the semi-final. Very little is known of Webb. He was born 19th November 1882 and affiliated to the 17th North Middlesex School of Arms Amateur Boxing Club.

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 first Olympic silver medal awarded for a winter sport: a 1908 London Olympic Games second prize medal won by Great Britain’s Arthur Warren J Cumming for the Special Figure Skating, designed by Bertram Mackennal, in silver, two young maidens are crowning a winning athlete, the reverse with St George slaying the dragon, the rim inscribed SECOND PRIZE MEN’S SPECIAL FIGURE SKATING The 1908 London Games contained events in figure skating for both men and women pre-dating the first Winter Olympic Games that took place at Chamonix 16 years later in 1924. The Men’s Special Figures was the first event in the skating schedule with the finals taking place on 29th October 1908 at the Prince’s Skating Club in Knightsbridge. Special figures were a component of figure skating in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Like compulsory figures today, special figures involved tracing patterns on the ice with the blade of one skate, testing the skater’s powers of balance and control. While compulsory figures have standard patterns derived from the a figure of 8, the earlier special figures were elaborate patterns of the skaters’ own invention. These designs included rosettes, stars, crosses, and other elaborate curlicues In the 1908 Games Arthur Cumming finished runner-up in the Special Figures to the Russian skater Nikolai Panin. The Special Figures never appeared as part of an Olympic programme thereafter. Tragically Cumming was involved in a motorcycle accident in May 1914 after which he contracted tetanus and died a day after his 25th birthday.

Sir (John) Bernard Partridge (1861-1945) THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK FOR THE 1908 LONDON OLYMPIC GAMES GOLD MEDAL WINNER’S DIPLOMA signed & dated 1908 in Roman numerals lower right, additionally signed by Lord Desborough (President of the British Olympic Council), mixed media drawing For examples of a 1908 London Olympic Games prize winner’s diploma, see the following lot relating to the British women’s tennis player Dora Boothby and also lot 75 relating to the British gold medal winning boxer Richard K Gunn. The official report for the 1908 London Olympic Games includes a passage about Bernard Partridge’s work in designing the prize medals and the prize winner’s Olympic diploma. ‘In addition to his design for medals, Diplomas of two kinds were also designed by Mr. Bernard Partridge for the Council, and are reproduced in this Report. The first design, for prize-winners only, representing a winged Victory between the figures of Hellas and Britannia, was exhibited in the Royal Academy, and was awarded in its larger form to winners of gold medals, and in a slightly smaller form to winners of silver and bronze medals. Each winner of a gold medal also received the smaller form of this diploma for presentation to his Club or Association as a memorial of his success. The second design, representing Victory seated, was worked out in black and red, and formed a Diploma of Merit, which was awarded by the various Associations controlling each series of events in the Games to athletes who achieved a high standard of excellence without getting first, second, or third in their competition. In a certain number of restricted cases this diploma was also awarded to officials and other for services rendered to the British Olympic Council in the organisation of the Games. It was thought right not to confuse the design in either class of medal by too long an inscription, so the event for which each prize-medal was awarded was incised upon the edge of its rim, with sufficient space left for the addition of the winner’s name. The same inscription was placed on the box containing each medal. The 250 gold medals ordered by the Council were placed in red boxes, 260 silver in dark blue boxes, and 260 bronze in yellow boxes. The large diplomas accompanying gold medals were rolled up in tubes, 20 1/2 inches long, of red, and the club diplomas were placed in deep crimson tubes, 18 1/2 inches in length. Dark blue and yellow tubes (also 18 1/2 inches long) were provided für second and third prize diplomas respectively. The diplomas of merit (of which 500 were ordered) were placed in light blue tubes, 17 inches long. The Commemorative Medals, being larger than the prize medals, were easily distinguishable, apart from the use of various coloured boxes for each class of these awards.’

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.
