Military life and hunting were preoccupations throughout Snaffles’ long life – he died in 1967 – and the sale will feature one of his most famous images, the 1940 print The Season (£500-£600), where these two interests come together.

A total of 19 works by Snaffles – real name Charles Johnson Payne – will be in the sale on Thursday, ranging in price from £150 to £3,000.
