Ticking and striking. 39 cms (15.5ins) high. Footnotes:Frederick Gustav Adolph Horstmann (1828-1893) was born in Oesterweg, Westphalia in Prussia. He began an apprenticeship, at the age of fourteen, as a jeweler and watchmaker in Geneva. In the wake of the Revolutions of 1848 , he had emigrated to Britain taking up a position with the clockmakers Dwerrihouse & Co., London. He moved to Bath around 1856 where he established a successful business as a jeweler and watchmaker. He married Louisa, a girl from the Somerset Knotts family. There were four sons by this marriage and all eventually joined the family clockmaking business, which lasted as a retail business until 1925.An advertisement for the business in 1881 also referred to Horstmann as 'the inventor and patentee of...clocks wound by the year' of which the present lot is presumably an example. 'Gustav Horstmann invented many ingenious mechanisms, such as self-winding clocks, the first of which relied on the change between day and night temperature, but later ones on the expansion of liquids, metals and gases. He was a pioneer of thermostatic control, which he employed to operate flue dampers to obtain an even room temperature and even to open and close the windows of his house. Another of his inventions was a screw micrometer capable of measuring to one ten-thousands of an inch, which pre-dated Whitworth's more convenient micrometer of 1858 by two years.' After the death of Gustav, the sons eventually founded the Horstmann Gear Company which today is known as the Horstman Group 'comprising businesses units in the UK, US and Canada...providing... product development manufacture and defense project management in heavy armored and tracked vehicle suspension systems.'References:Stuart Burroughs.

DANTON GEORGES: (1759-1794) French lawyer, a leading figure in the French Revolution who served as Minister of Justice (1792) and as the first President of the Committee of Public Safety (1793). Danton, who has been described as ´the chief force in the overthrow of the French monarchy and the establishment of the First French Republic´, was executed by guillotine at the age of 34. A rare D.S., Danton (a fine example), one page, folio, Paris, 3rd September 1792, in French. The manuscript document is headed ´Loi du trois Septembre 1792 l´an Quatrieme de la liberte´ (Translation: ´Law of the third of September 1792 in the fourth year of liberty´) and states, in part, ´L´Assemblee Nationale voulant accelerer pour tous les moyens qui sont en son pouvoir, l´arrivee des deux cents pieces de canons que le Ministre de la Guerre se propose de retirer des Cidevant Provinces de Standres et d´Artois et de la fonderie d´Indres, ainsi que de celles qu´il voudrait faire venir de toutes autres parts pour les porter dans le camp qui si forme sous les murs de Paris.......L´Assemblee Nationale apres avoir Decrete l´urgence, decrete que le Ministre de la guerre est autorise a se servir des chevaux de Poste pour la conduite de ces differentes pieces et les faire ainsi arriver a leur destination donner le delai le plus court.

LENIN VLADIMIR: (1870-1924) Russian revolutionary and politician who served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia 1917-24 and of the Soviet Union 1922-24 & TSIURUPA ALEXANDER (1870-1928) Bolshevik leader and Soviet politician who served as People's Commissar for Food of the RSFSR 1918-21. A rare D.S. by both Lenin ('V Ulyanov (Lenin)') and Tsiurupa ('A Tsyurupa') individually, one page, folio, Kremlin, Moscow, 20th June 1919, with the stamped heading of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic Workers and Peasants Defence Council, in Cyrillic. The typed document is addressed to Narkomprod (People's Commissariat for Food Supplies) of Crimea and states, in part, 'Considering the severity of the food situation in Russia, and the enormous shortages of food for children, especially for sick children, I suggest that all canned fruits available in Crimea, as well as cheese, should be earmarked solely for feeding sick children in Northern Russia. Products should be sent to Komprod's address'. Signed at the conclusion by Lenin in his capacity as Chairman of the Defence Council and by Tsiurupa in his capacity as People's Commissar for Food Supplies, alongside an official circular purple ink stamp. Some very light, extremely minimal age wear, VGThe People's Commissariat for Food Supplies (also known by it's abbreviation Narkomprod) was originally founded in 1917 and was the ministry of the Russian SFSR in charge of food supplies and industrial goods.Lenin and Tsiurupa signed the present document at a significant time during the Russian Civil War (1917-23) throughout which Crimea changed hands numerous times. Whilst it was governed by the Bolsheviks in June 1919, it would not be long before it became the stronghold of the anti-Bolshevik White Army under the command of General Anton Denikin. It is therefore possible that Lenin and Tsiurupa, aware of the situation facing Crimea, were attempting to get as much food as they could out of the area before it was too late.

Schmidt-Rottluffs „Russische Landschaften” sind wohl in Berlin nach Erinnerungen an die russische Landschaft entstanden, die der Künstler währen des Ersten Weltkrieges kennengelernt hat. In ihnen finden sich jedoch keinerlei Hinweise auf Krieg und Zerstörung, sondern sie zeigen ein geradezu idealisiertes, ländliches Idyll. In den „Russischen Landschaften” verschmelzen Erinnerungen und aktuelle Natureindrücke, wie der Künstler sie in den Sommermonaten des Jahres 1919 unter anderem in Hohwacht an der Lübecker Bucht in sich aufnimmt. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg ist in Schmidt-Rottluffs Schaffen eine erwartungsvolle Aufbruchstimmung spürbar. [JS] Aufrufzeit: 08.06.2024 - ca. 17.26 h +/- 20 Min.

Schmidt-Rottluff's 'Russian Landscapes' were probably created in Berlin after memories of the Russian landscape, which the artist had become acquainted with during the First World War. However, there are no references to war and destruction in them; instead, they depict an almost idealized rural idyll. In the 'Russian Landscapes', memories and current impressions of nature merge, as the artist absorbed them in the summer months of 1919 in, among other places, Hohwacht on the Bay of Lübeck. After the First World War, Schmidt-Rottluff's work is characterized by a spirit of optimism. [JS] Called up: June 8, 2024 - ca. 17.26 h +/- 20 min.
