‡ PAUL PETER PIECH (American, lived/worked Wales, 1920-1996) woodcut print - the national anthem of Wales 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau' (Land of My Fathers) with dragon, signed and dated 1993, 63 x 44cms
Auctioneer's Note: Originally titled Glan Rhondda, the lyrics were written by Evan James and the melody was composed by his son, James James, in January 1856. It was the first national anthem to be sung before a sporting occasion, a tradition started by Welsh rugby fans in 1905 to counter the New Zealand All Blacks' haka. Interestingly, the tune is shared by other Celtic nations, serving as the melody for the national anthems of both Brittany and Cornwall.
Nodyn yr Arwerthwr: Y teitl gwreiddiol oedd Glan Rhondda, ac ysgrifennwyd y geiriau gan Evan James a chyfansoddwyd yr alaw gan ei fab, James James, ym mis Ionawr 1856. Hon oedd yr anthem genedlaethol gyntaf i gael ei chanu cyn gêm, traddodiad a ddechreuodd gan gefnogwyr rygbi Cymru ym 1905 i wrthweithio haka Tîm Crysau Duon Seland Newydd. Yn ddiddorol, mae'r alaw'n cael ei rhannu gan genhedloedd Celtaidd eraill, gan wasanaethu fel yr alaw ar gyfer anthemau cenedlaethol Llydaw a Chernyw.

‡ PETER REDDICK (1924-2010) wood engravings (set of thirteen) - images of restored and relocated buildings exhibited at St Fagan's Museum (National Museum of Wales), titles include, 'St Fagans Castle, Hendre Wen, Tollhouse, Y Garreg Fawr etc. all signed and dated '83, all the same size 13 x 18cms
Auctioneer's Note: An open-air folk museum had been an ambition of the National Museum of Wales almost since its foundation in 1907, but it was not until the 1940s that the plan began to take shape. The project was led by Iorwerth Peate (1901-1982), who joined the Museum in 1927 and later headed its Sub-department of Folk Culture, with the aim of representing the lived experience of the Welsh people through historic buildings relocated from across the country and reconstructed at St Fagans. Encouraged by director Sir Cyril Fox and inspired by Skansen in Stockholm — founded in 1891 as the world’s first open-air museum, Peate sought to create a similar institution in Wales, despite the practical challenges of dismantling and rebuilding predominantly stone structures. In 1946, Robert Windsor-Clive, 3 rd Earl of Plymouth, donated St Fagans Castle and 18 acres of land, providing a permanent home for the project. The Welsh Folk Museum opened there on 1 July 1948 (now the St Fagans National Museum of History), and today the site includes more than 40 historic buildings relocated from across Wales. The National Museum of Wales commissioned Peter Reddick in 1983 to produce a series of engravings of its buildings.

GWEN JOHN (Welsh 1876-1939) watercolour and pencil - entitled verso, 'Three Woman in Church' on Martin Tinney Gallery label, with a second label, 'The Gwen John Centenary Exhibition', Anthony d'Offay Gallery London, signed, dated verso, circa 1920s, 26 x 20cms
Auctioneer's Note: With Gwen John's church watercolours it is usual for us to see one or several female figures from the rear as private moments of reflection and spirituality are conveyed. Gwen John would sit in the back of the Meudon Church, Paris, sketching in pencil, then adding watercolour and bodycolour in her studio. When criticised for working in church, she responded that she '...liked to pray in church like everyone but her spirit is not capable of praying for a long time at once' and '...if I remove all that time there would not be enough happiness in my life'. Please see 'Two Hatted Women in Church' sold at The Welsh Sale at Gregynog Hall, Rogers Jones & Co, 27th July 2024 (hammer price £22,000).

‡ AUGUSTUS JOHN (Welsh 1878-1961) pencil and watercolour - entitled verso, 'Ida' on Martin Tinney Gallery label, with a second label, Wolseley Gallery, London, signed, circa 1905, 31 x 23cms
Auctioneer's Note: Ida Nettleship (1877–1907) was the artist's first wife, a talented artist in her own right, she was a star pupil at the Slade School of Fine Art, where she met Augustus John. They married in secret in 1901, shocking her respectable parents. After marriage, her own artistic ambitions were largely subsumed by domestic duties and the care of their five sons, born between 1902 and 1907. From 1903, their life became a famous bohemian arrangement when Augustus's mistress, Dorelia McNeill moved in with them. Ida was initially enchanted by Dorelia, and the two women lived together as close companions while raising children from both relationships.
