Lot Essay

Presumably a sketch taken on one of Cherry-Garrard's 'Cruising holidays': 'In the mid 1930s, as he approached fifty, Cherry regularly took two cruises a year... His favoured route was through the Mediterranean. ... Surrounded by the sea, that most ancient symbol of the unconscious, he was able to make peace with himself, and with the ageless dead friends embalmed in his memory.' (S. Wheeler, Cherry..., London, 2001, p.246)
