About the Item

Badminton Player, H.N. Marrett, by Charles Ambrose. A vintage badminton print of a caricature of H.N. Marrett by Charles Ambrose. Marrett was born in Umballa, India, and died there but he spent much of his life living in England. Henry Norman Marrett was a medical doctor by profession and a notable badminton and tennis player. In addition to his successes at lawn tennis, he won the men's singles title at the All England Badminton Championships in 1904, 1905 and 1908 (considered the unofficial World Badminton Championship). He competed at the 1904 Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships where he reached the second round before losing to Arthur Gore.

The badminton print was 'Supplement to Lawn Tennis & Badminton, April 3, 1907' and is in good condition. Little is known of the British artist, Ambrose.

  • Pair of Vintage French Prints by Charles Cobelle
    Located in Redding, CT
    Pair of vintage French prints by Charles Cobelle. Circa 1950's matted and framed. Charles Cobelle, born Carl Edelman (1902–1994) was a modern French master of painting, lithography and a fine muralist, who was born in Alsace-Lorraine, France. He is considered the last link to the great tradition of the Open Line School of Paris. Cobelle received his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from the University of Munich and continued his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.[1] Much more influential in his development, however, were his private studies with Marc Chagall and his apprenticeship in the studio of Raoul Dufy in Menton on the Riviera. Cobelle lived and painted in Paris until the late 1920s and established himself within the great tradition of the School of Paris.[2] In the late 1920s, Cobelle moved to the United States, where his paintings were immediately sought after by galleries and private collectors alike.[1] Cobelle became a U.S. citizen before the outbreak of World War II.[1] In the late 1940s to 1950s, Cobelle lived in Westport, Connecticut.Charles Cobelle lived in Ridgefield CT in a private lake community called Twixt Hills until his death. [3] By the 1950s, spurred by the commercial success of his mentor, Dufy, Cobelle had achieved phenomenal success commercially with his Parisian-influenced style.[4] Much like contemporary artists and designers at the time, his designs graced a number of pottery patterns for various pottery companies, including Midwinter Stylecraft...
