Charles "Snaffles" Johnson Payne (1884-1967) was an English painter known for his humorous work and for his outstanding draughtsmanship and depiction of the horse in action. Snaffles specialised in water colours and drawings sold as prints which, at least initially, were hand-coloured by the artist and his sisters. His subject matter was invariably military, racing or hunting / equestrian scenes (polo, pig sticking), or some combination of these. Many of his most famous pictures contrast or combine military life with the peacetime pursuits of racing and hunting. The vast majority of his racing pictures show point-to-pointing (i.e. amateur racing organised by the hunt to raise funds) rather than racing under rules. In each of these and many others there is one or more mounted person in hunt dress. The general background (pitched tents, running stream rather than artificial ditches) is indicative of a point-to-point course rather than a permanent racecourse. The title "Oh to be in England now that April's here!" specifically refers to the point-to-point season which in those days would have been at the end of the hunting season, i.e. spring. Snaffles had a distinctive drawing style, often showing just one person in detail. In addition, his pictures are often recognisable from the use of the incorporation of one or a number of sketches (often uncoloured) around the principal image (what is sometimes referred to as a remarque), and some additional caption, often amusing, to supplement the picture's title and further explain the scene. As well as reproductions of his famous prints, this book introduces original works from private collections never before reproduced in magazine of book form, and many light hearted and amusing sketches.

Hardback. Condition: Fine. "Snaffles" Charlie Johnson Payne (illustrator). First Edition. Charlie Johnson Payne was the fourth of a bootmaker's eight children and from his youth developed a passion for all things military. He tried to enlist in the army to fight in the Boer war, but was rejected on the grounds that he was too young. Eventually, he joined the Royal Garrison Artillery at the age of 18 as a gunner but in 1906 he was forced to leave because of illness. However, his time in the army was influential, as his first recorded works of semi-caricature portrait date from this time. Invalided out of World War One, Payne took a job as a war artist for The Graphic and it was during these years that he produced some of his finest military work. After the war his work became more varied, although he still often contributed to The Sporting & Dramatic News It was as a sporting artist that "Snaffles" built his reputation and, after the War, he worked on the hunting, shooting, polo, racing and fishing subjects which made his name. The classic series of pig-sticking prints he completed in India in the 1920s are perhaps the images for which he is best known and his depictions of military life in the Raj are second to none. This copy has a neat gift inscription to the f.e.p but is otherwise in FINE condition. There is no dustwrapper present.
