* SIR NICHOLAS FAIRBAIRN QC (SCOTTISH 1933 - 1995), COTE D'AZUR oil on canvas, signed and dated 1958framedimage size 35cm x 40cm, overall size 42cm x 47cm Note: Sir Nicholas Fairbairn was a colourful, flamboyant and controversial figure in Scottish legal circles and on the UK political scene during the latter quarter of the 20th century. He was immensely popular among his constituents and was widely respected as a competent and diligent constituency MP. Fairbairn was the epitome of an eccentric in his attitudes, his sartorial style and in most other aspects of his working and personal life. While some disagreed with him, few if any, doubted his intelligence or wit. He was a brilliant QC and was appointed Solicitor General for Scotland in 1979. He always carried a silver miniature, working revolver on a chain attached to his belt. He was reputedly the only MP to use the House of Commons Parliamentary snuff box. Above all, Sir Nicholas Fairbairn was his own man. He amusingly, but typically, described himself in his final entry in Who's Who, as "Author, forester, painter, poet, TV and radio broadcaster, journalist, dress-designer, landscape gardener, bon viveur, raconteur and wit". His autobiography, A Life is Too Short, was published in 1987.

MUNNINGS ALFRED: (1878-1959) English painter, a member of the Newlyn School from 1912-14, and regarded as one of the finest painters of horses. A good collection of A.Ls.S. (5; one a brief illustrated message on a postcard), a T.L.S., five original pencil drawings, and a few pieces of printed ephemera. The autograph and typed letters signed Alfred Munnings, A. J. Munnings, and with his initials AJ, twelve pages (total), 4to and smaller, various places (Dedham, Essex & Withypool, Somerset), early to mid-1940s, to various correspondents including the portrait painter Maurice Codner. Munnings states, in part, ´I am not sure about the Tissot, as I told that secretary to remove the pictures if the raids started & they should have done so. How awful, that lovely [painting?] which nobody really cared for & which as Lutyens said was ruined by the overlighting of the chandeliers. What a hateful lot of buggers used that room.....& what a disagreable rascañ that Drysdale was wo stood in the way of everything. Damn him, what a pity he wasn´t in the drawing room when the bomb fell. My place in Chelsea has had it - windows out & all glass in frames broken......Winston in chair first dinner. Next Thursday Lord Gort in chair & they all give Winston a snuff box´ (to Maurice Codner, 30th September 1940, accompanied by the original envelope), ´I can´t tell you how glad I was to see that good notice of your work in The Times on Friday. You couldn´t want better and who ever the present (sic; President) is he is a more sane fellow than the last & I find him very good. Far better than the other old blighter - well - I was glad I read it out to Violet who never cares much about critics, & she was delighted. I´ve always seen you gradually gaining & burrowing in. You´re as undefeatable as the Hun. And to think you´re doing this in spite of the bombs & with only one eye......I´ve just written a line to Oswald Birley, poor fellow......I´m losing the will to work´ (to Maurice Codner, 4th November 1941, in pencil), ´What a pity that you could not remain at such a stage of brilliance for the rest of your natural life - or unnatural life, or whatever your present existence may be - Can´t you buy up a quantity of that same sherry & consume at intervals & go on flying through the air like a blazing comet?......Hunting all over England should be stopped. That´s my opinion. People who go wouldn´t if the hounds didn´t. Absolute not. Have you had time to go & see the exhibition of under 20 guinea pictures yet at Trafalgar Square? If not, go & let me know......You & I should go & stay at Bradley Farm up in the woods & hills near here for a month & live on cream & stuff & work.....trees galore & stone buildings & the rest & when it rained we´d do masterpieces indoors - big sitting rooms......write again my lad of wax - any f - g lately?´ (to Maurice Codner, n.d. [c. September 1942], in pencil), ´One day I´ll be round there. On Exmoor now, Army took my house at Dedham´ (to A. R. Blundell, 22nd March 1944), ´The man who did that plate of an old poplar tree is [a] great artist. If you can do such a thing as that although it is uncared for by the crowd is someone to be reckoned with. If only you could [do] an oil like that & as well!! It is superb. I saw it in Emmons´ house at Flatford Mill & looked & looked [at] it again having seen it in the R.A. It is equal to anything of its kind I know´ (to Blundell, 3rd January 1946; actually 1947), the postcard featuring an ink drawing by Munnings of a skier lying face down in the snow, with a mountain, trees and sun in the background, wishing the recipient a Happy Easter and hand addressed by Munnings to Mr. and Mrs. John Napper, April 1956.
