That doesn't look like him at all. Roger had a slightly chubby face, which was why he was dubbed Bunny by his childhood nurse, since he resembled "a charming bunny rabbit."

The more I look at it the more I think that's a royal, maybe the Duke of Wales?

Lol, there's no Duke of Wales. Prince of Wales, you mean? It looks a lot like the DoW, yes, but then again it's difficult to size the man from this photo.

If it's one of his brothers, I can almost guarantee you it is the Duke of Kent.

An utterly shocking case of middle-aged spread...

Hello there,

Does anyone know how I can come by a Bunny Roger Collection catalogue from the sale at Sotheby's in London January 28~30th, 1998, please?

Sothebys normally has some stock of more recent back issues for sale, but when a particular catalogue becomes a collector's item or especially useful as a reference for the art market (typically one-collection catalogues), they become hard to find.

Antiquarian booksellers specialising in books on art and antiques will probably be your best shot.

Did Bunny's tailors do additional or different seams?


A waist seam goes side to side (diameter of torso) as opposed to a dart or side seam that goes up and town.

Waist seams are typical on morning and frock coats, and on very trim formal overcoats. On lounge coats, not so much.

Sator can cover the rest, with illustrations.

I bought mine from a specialist in auction catalogs. Typically, they will sell these desirable types of catalogs but usually at a markup given specific rarity. I remember this Roger catalog was something like $50.
