TEDDY BEARS AND SOFT TOYS
PHYLLIS'S TEDDY BEARS:
A Farnell Teddy Bear with golden mohair, clear and black glass eyes, pronounced clipped muzzle, black stitched nose and mouth, swivel head, jointed limb with cloth pads, black stitched claws with webbing on hands, hump, inoperative growler and original pink ribbon, circa 1908, 21.1/2in. (54.5cm) high (minor wear, needs a clean, slight damage to pads and one foot pad missing); his lifelong companion Teddy Bear with golden mohair, orange and black glass stick eyes, black stitched nose, mouth and claws, slotted-in ears, swivel head and jointed limbs, possibly American, circa 1908, 12in. (30.5cm) high (worn, one damaged, glue mark around eyes, split to top of right arm and pads recovered); and an original circular photograph of the owner with her two brothers, image size, 4in. (10.25cm) (3)
Provenance: The two bears were the treasured possessions of Phyllis Violet Harman Holland (nee Heath), born in Lewisham in 1907. The photograph dating from 1909, shows Phyllis with her two brothers Douglas and Eric. The bears were Phyllis's close companions until her death in 1992, including, for the smaller one (a gift from her parents), a spell at boarding school with her.
Phyllis's father Edgar Arthur Heath sadly died suddenly in 1908 and her mother in 1918 after a long illness.
Phyllis's mother, Violet Florence Hattie Heath (nee Harman) was the youngest child of Alfred Hugh Harman (1814-1913) who was a noted photographic pioneer and founded Ilfords Photographic Company in 1879. The Farnell bear was a present from her grandfather.
