Lot 247
Ervin Bossányi (1891-1975)Cows at Hoheneichen, Hamburg, circa 1930inscribed and titled (to reverse)oil on plywood35 x 45cm. A scene near the Bossanyi family home at Hoheneichen (Wellingsbüttel) near Hamburg, where they moved from Lübeck in 1929. Bossanyi was receiving more and more commissions for artworks for public buildings in Lübeck and Hamburg, many from the Hamburg city architect Fritz Schumacher, whose ideals he shared: art for the many, not for the few. Although he was working and experimenting a great deal in different styles and media – ceramics, murals, stained glass, bronze – Bossanyi continued to paint scenes evoking his youth in rural Hungary, close to the natural world and the simple peasant lifestyle, which he was glad to be able to enjoy even near a big city like Hamburg.

ProvenanceDavid Hayden-Wright (1936-2006)LiteratureDavid Hayden-Wright, The Heritage of English Knives, Atglen, Pennsylvania, 2008, pp. 45-6. Billies and Charlies, otherwise known as Shadwell Dock Forgeries, were produced in a variety of forms, often as badges, but also as figures, vases, vessels etc., the majority made by the labourers or navigators (navvies) Billy Smith and Charley Eaton. The great public works of the 1840s and 50s had entailed large excavations and dredging operations, which threw up a number of medieval artefacts. Billy and Charley, whilst mudlarking on the Thames, had found a medieval medallion, which they sold for a handsome sum. By 1857, lacking further such finds, the enterprising pair decided to manufacture these objects instead, casting them in a lead copper alloy. The letters usually found on the bases or edges of these pieces make no sense, presumably since the forgers were illiterate. For a year, academics and collectors lapped up these rare pieces, claimed by Billy & Charley to have been found at the construction site of the new Shadwell docks. In 1858 a lecture at the British Archaeological Association condemned them all as forgeries, although in a consequent court case, the eminent scholar Charles Roach Smith pronounced that even the most badly educated forger would not produce such blatantly ridiculous items and that therefore they must be genuine. There continued to be a strong market for the pieces until a couple of years later, when a sceptic uncovered Billy and Charley's moulds. Billy and Charley escaped prosecution and continued production, but ever increasing awareness of the forgeries meant falling prices, with Charley dying in penury at Tower Hamlets and Billy disappearing from the records by 1871. See Halliday 1986.
