OCTOBER SALE
Lot 216:
A Collection of Lester Piggott Equestrian Books and Artworks
A collection of five items centered around the renowned jockey Lester Piggott, comprising three books and two framed artworks. The books include a hardcover titled “LESTER” and two copies of “LESTER PIGGOTT: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF LESTER PIGGOTT”, one of which is a paperback displaying a retail price of “£125”. It is noted that editions of “Lester Piggott: The Autobiography” are frequently found signed by the author, and the retail price of £125 on one paperback copy suggests a potentially special or signed edition. All books feature orange inventory stickers marked “216” and “5”. The framed artworks consist of a black-and-white pencil or charcoal portrait of a jockey, signed “Mick Hedley”, and a colored print depicting a central horse and jockey alongside four smaller vignettes labelled “The Minstrel 1977”, “Speedy 1970”, “Never Say Die 1954”, and “Sir Ivor 1968”. Both framed items are housed in dark wood frames and also bear orange stickers “216” and “5”.
