1926 Hanomag 2/10 PS Kleinauto 'Kommissbrot' Saloon Project Chassis no. 6307For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•One of the most successful German light cars of its day•One of Peter Bühner's last projects•Offered for restoration•A rare survivorHannoversche Maschinenfabrik AG (Hanomag) was founded in 1846 as a constructor of steam locomotives, and went on to build commercial vehicles, cars, tractors, etc. Hanomag's first motor car was launched in 1925: this was the 2/10 PS two-seater 'Kommissbrot' (literally 'army bread'), so called because its shape resembled that of an army-issue loaf. The 2/10 PS was powered by a rear-mounted 499cc 10hp single-cylinder water-cooled engine, which drove the rear axle by a chain (there was no differential). Keeping weight to a minimum was a design priority, and the first (open) version weighed only 370kg. A closed version followed later. Top speed was around 60km/h. Named 'Zweisitzer Limousine' (two-seat limousine) by the company, the Hanomag 'Kommissbrot' is historically significant as the first German car to be manufactured on a moving assembly line, as pioneered by Ford; in 1927 and 1928 Hanomag were building 80 cars per day. Production ceased after three years when 15,775 had been made, very few of which survive. Despite being the best selling car in Germany at the time, the 'Kommissbrot' did not make any money for Hanomag, which turned to more conventional cars that would help it into financial stability. This charming Hanomag 'Kommissbrot' was one of Peter Bühner's last projects and has not been completed. This is potentially most rewarding project, but interest parties should satisfy themselves with regard to its completeness or otherwise prior to bidding. The car is offered with a cancelled German Kraffahrzeugbrief dating from 1966, an original owner's manual (German language), and numerous magazine articles relating to the model. A very modern looking car for its age, '6307' is one of the very rare surviving 2/10 PS models and is worthy of a place in any important collection.Hanomag 2/10 PS berline Kleinauto 'Kommissbrot' (projet) - 1926Châssis n° 6307•L'une des petites voitures allemandes les plus couronnées de succès en son temps•L'un des derniers projets de Peter Bühner•Proposée pour être restaurée•Une survivante rareLa Hannoversche Maschinenfabrik AG (Hanomag) fut fondée en 1846 pour construire des locomotives à vapeur, puis elle se développa en construisant des véhicules utilitaires, des voitures, des tracteurs, etc. La première automobile de Hanomag fut lancée en 1925 ; c'était la deux-places 2/10 PS dite Kommissbrot, littéralement 'pain de l'armée', à cause de son allure qui faisait penser à une miche de pain de l'armée. Elle était équipée d'un monocylindre de 499 cm3 de 10 ch refroidi par eau et monté à l'arrière, qui entraînait l'essieu arrière par une chaîne, sans différentiel. La priorité avait été donnée à la légèreté et sa première version (découverte) ne pesait que 370 kg. Elle fut suivie d'une version fermée. Leur vitesse maximale était d'environ 60 km/h.Cette Hanomag Kommissbrot, que son constructeur désignait par Zweisitzer Limousine, ou limousine biplace, présente la particularité d'être la première voiture allemande à avoir été montée sur une ligne d'assemblage en mouvement, selon l'exemple donné par Ford. En 1927 et 1928, Hanomag produisait quatre-vingts voitures par jour. Sa fabrication cessa au bout de 15 775 exemplaires, dont très rares sont ceux qui ont survécu. Bien qu'ayant été en son temps la voiture qui se vendait le mieux en Allemagne, la Kommissbrot ne fit pas gag... For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website

* HAMISH CONSTABLE PATERSON (SCOTTISH 1890 - 1955), CRUMPLED MAN AT LE PONT ROYALE, PARIS watercolour on paper, signed and dated 1926 image size 21cm x 31cm, overall size 46cm x 56cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Note: The third son of the artist James Paterson, cousin of Viola Paterson and thus a member of the distinguished Scottish painting family. He was actually named James Constable Paterson but was always known as Hamish. In 1910 he began studying at Edinburgh College of Art and his talent was obvious to all. He became an officer in The Black Watch during Army service in World War I and was severely wounded. Although he eventually recovered physically, his experiences left a lasting mental mark and he suffered from "depressions" for the rest of his life. His uncle William Bell Paterson gave him a show in Bond Street (London) in 1922 which included portraits of the former Prime Minister David Lloyd George and many titled people. Hamish's talent as a portraitist was widely admired but instead of accepting lucrative commissions he chose to live in France painting landscapes. It's possible that he sought a life away from the people he knew, perhaps embarrassed by his issues. The vendor believes the crumpled figure in the foreground to be Hamish Paterson. If he's right, Paterson depicts himself as a lonely and forlorn figure with his back turned to the spectacular view and the nearby Louvre. Although his work continued to be exhibited at the RSA regularly until 1949, many of these pictures were loaned by friends, fellow artists or collectors. His pictures were also shown at the RSW, RA, Royal Glasgow Institute and was included in "The Paterson Family" at Belgrave Gallery (London) in 1977. He retained lifelong friendships with some of the Kirkcudbright group including W.O. Hutchison, Robert Sivell and Mac Fleming. It seems Hamish Paterson largely financed his life in France with the sales of his pictures there and he only returned to the family home at Moniaive (Dumfriesshire) a couple of years before his death. Hamish Paterson's war experiences had a dramatic impact on the rest of his life but his watercolours show the influences and qualities which brought his father such success and had Hamish felt able to remain in Scotland, it's likely that his reputation in his own country would have better matched his abilities and talent.

WILLIAM EVANS OF ETON (BRITISH 1798 - 1877),THE FERRYMANwatercolour on paperimage size 37cm x 54cm, overall size 80cm x 78cm Framed and under glass.Provenance: This lot is being sold on behalf of Scottish Youth Hostels Association (also known as Hostelling Scotland) a registered Scottish charity No. SCO13138. It formed part of the collection of art from Carbisdale Castle. Carbisdale Castle was built in 1905-1917 for the Duchess of Sutherland on a hill across the Kyle of Sutherland. Until its closure, the castle had a large collection of art, with some pieces dating back to the year 1680 and including a number of fine Italian marble statues. Colonel Theodore Salvesen, a wealthy Scottish businessman of Norwegian extraction, bought the castle in 1933. He provided the castle as a safe refuge for King Haakon VII of Norway and Crown Prince Olav, who would later become King Olav V, during the Nazi occupation of Norway in World War II. During that time the castle was also used to hold important meetings. King Haakon VII made an agreement at the Carbisdale Conference on 22 June 1941, that the Russian forces, should they enter Norwegian territory, would not stay there after the war. Three years later, on 25 October 1944, the Red Army entered Norway and captured thirty towns, but later withdrew according to the terms of the agreement. After the Colonel died his son, Captain Harold Salvesen, inherited the castle and gave its contents and estate to the Scottish Youth Hostels Association. Carbisdale Castle Youth Hostel opened to members on 2 June 1945. Towards the end of 2014 Carbisdale Castle was put up for sale and in 2015 the bulk of the art collection was sold by Sotheby's reportedly raising £1M for SYHA.
