The present lot depicts Dr Robin Tattersall OBE (b. 1930) the Manchester-born doctor and surgeon, but also a sailor, marathon runner, fashion model, adventurer, and humanitarian. Over a long and varied career, Dr.T as he is affectionately known, has done everything from featuring on the cover of as one of New York’s highest-paid male models, to competing in two summer Olympics and running the Greek Marathon at the age of 80, to receiving an OBE for outstanding public service from Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

In 1957, the then junior doctor, was shot by Lord Snowdon, then Antony Armstrong-Jones for Acrilan, a new synthetic textile developed by The Chemstrand Corporation, established in 1949.
