LAST OF TATTERSALLS
Member Of Famous Family Dies LONDON, October 28. Mr Edmund Somerville Tattersall, the last of the Tattersails, has died at' the age of 80 years, ending a family whose name has been famous on the turf for 176 years, since “Old Tatt” started the firm and founded a tradition. Tattersall’s sale ring at Knightsbridge was a favourite Sunday afternoon rendezvous for Victorian and Edwardian society and remained until the outbreak of the war as London’s closest link with the days of Dickens. Out of the auctioneer’s commission of a shilling in the guinea, Tattersall’s made £70,000 a year, and in 1925 sold bloodstock worth £1,335,162 at Newmarket and Doncaster.
