Description
Walt Spitzmiller
(American, born 1944)
BONNIE PRINCE
$6,000. - 9,000.
Oil on canvas, 24" x 36"
Signed
$6,000. - 9,000.
Illustrated:
Sports Illustrated, January 25, 1982, "Bonnie Price of the Flies,"
pages 62 and 63.
Michael Begg, a producer with the BBC, found himself with the
task of broadcasting Prince Charles' marriage to Diana Spencer
to the world. Before the wedding he interviewed Charles at
Buckingham Palace. Both were rather stiff and nervous until
the Prince asked Begg about his plans after the production.
When Begg mentioned a fishing trip, Prince Charles became
more animated and opened a drawer that contained fishing
tackle. He pulled out a fly from New Zealand made from the
tail hairs of a red setter, or as the Prince noted, "the whole
damn dog." After the royal wedding, Begg and Sports Illustrated
writer Clive Gammon took the fly on a fishing trip to Canada.
They had hoped to land a trophy fish to show Charles and win
a coveted invitation to fish the River Dee at Balmoral Castle.
