CAMPBELL ROY: (1901-1957) His name being Ignatius Royston Dunnachie Campbell. South African Poet. A controversial figure, widely considered one of the best poets of the 20´s and 30´s. An excellent signed black ink drawing with annotation, `Roy Campbell´, twice, oblong 4to, the attractive drawing being a Bullfighting scene, showing a bullfighter horse rider confronting the bull, the whole beneath a bull head sketch. Signed in bold black ink `By Roy Campbell, with drawings by Roy & Teresa Campbell´. Annotated at the base of the page `Dear Poet, Forgive me, I forgot to add the autobiographic information on the other envelope.´ Framed in wood and glazed to an overall size of 12 x 9 (30 x 23 cm). VG £200-300 It has often been suggested by critics and his own daughters that his support for Franco´s Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War caused him to be blacklisted from modern poetry anthologies.
