1913 Wall Auto-Wheel & Lady's Sparkbrook CycleFrame no. 3350Engine no. 3350For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website●An older restoration●Purchased in 1994●One of the most affordable entries into the Pioneer RunMotorised attachments for bicycles were first popularised in the Continent but even before The Great War there were one or two British examples, perhaps the best known being the Wall Auto-Wheel. The latter was the work of A W Wall, of Guildford, who offered a proper motorcycle of his own design during 1903/1904, which was later marketed under the 'Roc' name and produced in Birmingham. Wall's prototype Auto-Wheel appeared around 1909 and the first production version in 1912. Powered by a 118cc four-stroke engine, the Wall Auto-Wheel was mounted in its own tubular frame, complete with fuel tank, and fitted alongside the bicycle's rear wheel, endowing the machine with a top speed of around 15mph on the flat ('light pedal assistance' was required to cope with ascents). Output totalled some 1,750 units in 1913 and 10,000 in 1914, 5,000 of which were produced by BSA, production continuing into the mid-1920s. Wall's advertisements listed HRH Prince George of Battenberg and HRH Prince Henry of Russia as satisfied customers.An older restoration attached to a lady's Sparkbrook cycle, this example was purchased at a UK auction in December 1994. The auction catalogue page is on file and the machine also comes with a magazine article (in German) and an old UK V5 registration document. Notable features include a Wrights saddle and Lucas 'King of the Road' warning bell. It should be noted that the acetylene light's lens has been damaged.Ancienne restauration installée sur une bicyclette pour dames Sparkbrook, cet exemplaire a été acquis dans une vente aux enchères au Royaume-Uni en décembre 1994.La page du catalogue est dans le dossier et la machine est accompagnée d'un article de magazine (en allemand) et d'un ancien document V5 émis au Royaume-Uni.

Lot 305
* 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.
