Malcolm Sargent. A Biography
London, Hamish Hamilton, 1968.
Octavo, xiv, 491 pages plus 21 plates.
Papered boards a little rubbed and marked; bottom corners bumped, impacting a little on the book block; neat ownership details on the front flyleaf; a very good copy with the lightly used dustwrapper.
Loosely inserted is an original gelatin silver portrait photograph of Sargent (140 × 90 mm), signed in ink along the wide bottom margin. The signature of the photographer, Fred Siegfried Schiffer (1917-1999), is in the bottom right-hand corner of the negative (as 'Schiffer'). Vienna-born Schiffer emigrated to England in 1938, to Argentina in 1948, and finally to Canada (Vancouver) in 1958. His distinguished career as a photographer commenced in 1942; this photograph appears to date from the 1960s.
