THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE ROBERT HARDY CBE FSA FHA

Timothy Sidney Robert Hardy CBE FSA (1925-2017) was one of Britain’s most enduringlysuccessful actors, with a career in theatre, film and television spanning seven decades.His acting career was firmly rooted in Shakespearian and other classical theatre roles,working early in his career with the likes of Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Dorothy Tutinand Judi Dench. However, he will probably be best remembered as the explosive andoverbearing Siegfried Farnon in the long-running television series ‘All Creatures Great andSmall’, and his most critically acclaimed performance as the title role in ‘Winston Churchill:The Wilderness Years’ in 1981, for which he won a BAFTA. His portrayal of Britain's wartimeleader was so accurately observed that he went on to play the great man on eightsubsequent occasions. More recently he demonstrated his versatility by earning praise asthe blinkered Ministry of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, in the Harry Potter films.

Robert Hardy was also a highly-regarded medieval military historian and expert on thelongbow, an interest first developed when playing the part of Henry V. He published twoimportant works on the subject: ‘Longbow: A Social and Military’ and ‘The Great Warbow’.He was one of the experts consulted during the raising of the Mary Rose, and was Masterof the Worshipful Company of Bowyers of the City of London from 1988 to 1990.

In 2015 Robert Hardy moved house and downsized his belongings quite considerably. Hechose to entrust their sale to Dominic Winter Auctioneers, and a very successful sale washeld which included books, furniture, paintings and theatre memorabilia. The actor was atrue gentleman of the old school, and it was a pleasure to deal with him during the processof putting together the sale. And so it is with sadness that we now offer a second sale ofitems which belonged to Robert Hardy, a sale that has come about as a result of his deathin August last year. We are honoured to be entrusted a second time and hope that ourcatalogue would have met with Robert Hardy’s approval.

Set in 1913 itdemonstrated the life contrast between Englisharistocrats, gathered for pheasant shooting andthe local rural poor, who served as ‘beaters’. Aterrible accident occured at the commencementof filming, where all the male lead actors,including Paul Scofield, Robert Hardy, Edward Fox& Rupert Frazer were thrown from a horse-drawn shooting-brake which had lost control andoverturned. Rupert Frazer jumped off withoutgreat harm. The other actors were catapultedinto a pile of scaffolding. Robert Hardy stood upand realised to his amazement that he wasunhurt. He looked across to see Edward Foxstand up, “turn completely green and collapse ina heap”. He had broken five ribs and hisshoulder-blade. He then noticed that PaulScofield was lying very still on the ground, “and Isaw that his shin-bone was sticking out throughhis trousers”. As the film took place in Octoberdue to the partridge-shooting season, thefilmmakers had to make a choice to either delayfilming for a year, or re-cast.
