RARE BOOK AUCTION  224 ON BOARD THE CORVETTE S.M. ASTROLABE Bay of Islands 16th March 1827 A rare and historic letter from Joseph Paul Gaimard and Jean Rene Constant Quoy to Louis de Freycinet. The men were naturalists aboard Dumont d’Urville’s Astrolabe and had previously sailed with Freycinet on the Uranie voyage in 1817-1820. The letter is written in Gaimard’s hand and signed by both men. 4pp on folded paper, text in French, clear and legible , there are some light contemporary pencil notations. The following is a summary rather than a precise translation. The letter written aboard Dumont d’Urville’s Astrolabe describes in detail the surveying and charting of the coast of New Zealand ‘....we have just finished the charting of one of the two islands which make up this land by ‘drawing’ as it were one half of a figure eight that is to say, that from Cape Foulwind we followed the southern part of Cook Straight and then the eastern part of the North Island to North Cape taking in Tasman Bay and the river Firth. We have developed the coastline for 360 leagues, charting from a distance of four miles and often much closer ...’. It describes in length and in great detail the difficulties they had in navigating the treacherous waters and the storms they encountered before finding the passage between Tasman and Admiralty Bays and naming it French Pass. They continued surveying and charting the coast until they entered the Bay of Plenty, again encountering heavy storms. ‘.... it is probable under just such circumstances that the ships of La Perouse will have perished....’. Dumont d’Urville then explored the Firth of Thames discovering several large islands forming a magnificent harbour. ‘.... Several of us can attest that by crossing a space of two miles New Zealand forms, in this area, a vast peninsula which comprises the Bay of Islands, just as the whalers indicated to Mr Blosseville’. Descriptions along the route, of their communications with local Maori who assisted them with fresh food, it discusses their war like nature made more aggressive by access to firearms. ‘.... as we came in sight of Cape Brett, a flotilla of more that twenty large war canoes each carrying between twenty and forty men following the coast to lay waste and devastate enemies....’. The letter finishes ‘... we sent 555 natural drawings to the Academy from Port Jackson, the dangers we have faced has made us decide to send a double of our work as soon as the occasion presents itself. It is so uncertain we don’t dare send the twenty odd boards [?plates] that come from New Zealand.’ It ends sending their affectionate sentiments and signing it. Gaimard Quoy. Provenance: The Freycinet family archives which were dispersed in the 1960’s and 1970’s, in recent years in a private collection. $16,000 - $18,000

Conditions of Sale

Please note: it is assumed that all bidders at auction have read and agreed to the conditions described on this page. ART+OBJECT directors are available during the auction viewing to clarify any questions you may have.

1. Registration: Only registered bidders may bid at auction. You are required tocomplete a bidding card or absentee bidding form prior to the auction giving your correct name, address and telephone contact + supplementary information such as email addresses that you may wish to supply to ART+OBJECT 2. Bidding: The highest bidder will be the purchaser subject to the auctioneeraccepting the winning bid and any vendor’s reserve having been reached. The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid. If this takes place or in the event of a dispute the auctioneer may call for bids at the previous lowest bid and proceedfrom this point. Bids advance at sums decreed by the auctioneer unless signaled otherwise by the auctioneer. No bids may be retracted. The auctioneer retains the right to bid on behalf of the vendor up to the reserve figure. 3. Reserve: Lots are offered and sold subject to the vendor’s reserve price being met. 4. Lots offered and sold as described and viewed: ART+OBJECT makes all attempts to accurately describe and catalogue lots offered for sale. Notwithstanding this neither the vendor nor ART+OBJECT accepts any liability for errors of description or faults and imperfections whether described in writing or verbally. This applies to questions of authenticity and quality of the item. Buyers are deemed to have inspected the item thoroughly and proceed on their own judgment. The act of bidding is agreed by the buyer to be an indication that they are satisfied on all counts regarding condition and authenticity. 5. Buyers premium: The purchaser by bidding acknowledges their acceptance of a buyers premium of 18.5% plus GST on the premium to be added to the hammer price in the event of a successful sale at auction. Please consult the relevant auction catalogue to confirm the premium for each sale. 6. ART+OBJECT is an agent for a vendor: A+O has the right to conduct the sale of an item on behalf of a vendor. This may include withdrawing an item from sale for any reason. 7. Payment: Successful bidders are required to make full payment immediately post sale – being either the day of the sale or the following day. If for any reason payment is delayed then a 20% deposit is required immediately and the balance to 100% required within 3 working days of the sale date. Payment can be made by Eftpos, bank cheque or cash. Cheques must be cleared before items are available for collection. Credit cards are not accepted. 8. Failure to make payment: If a purchaser fails to make payment as outlined in point 7 above ART+OBJECT may without any advice to the purchaser exercise its right to: a) rescind or stop the sale, b) re offer the lot for sale to an underbidder or at auction. ART+OBJECT reserves the right to pursue the purchaser for any difference in sale proceeds if this course of action is chosen, c) to pursue legal remedy for breach of contract. 9. Collection of goods: Purchased items are to be removed from ART+OBJECT premises immediately after payment or clearance of cheques. Absentee bidders must make provision for the uplifting of purchased items (see instructions on the facing page)

10. Bidders obligations: The act of bidding means all bidders a knowledge that they are personally responsible for payment if they are the successful bidder. This includes all registered absentee or telephone bidders. Bidders acting as an agent for a third party must obtain written authority from ART+OBJECT and provide written instructions from any represented party and their express commitment to pay all funds relating to a successful bid by their nominated agent. 11. Bids under reserve & highest subject bids: When the highest bid is below the vendor’s reserve this work may be announced by the auctioneer as sold ‘ subject to vendor’s authority’ or some similar phrase. The effect of this announcement is to signify that the highest bidder will be the purchaser at the bid price if the vendor accepts this price. If this highest bid is accepted then the pu chaser has entered a contract to purchase the item at the bid price plus any relevant buyers premium.

Important advice for buyers The following information does not form part of the condtions of sale, however buyers, particularly first time bidders are recommended to read these notes. A. Bidding at auction: Please ensure your instructions to the auctioneer are clear and easily understood. It is well to understand that during a busy sale with multiple bidders the auctioneer may not be able to see all bids at all times. It is recommended that you raise your bidding number clearly and without hesitation. If your bid is made in error or you have misunderstood the bidding level please advise the auctioneer immediately of your error – prior to the hammer falling. Please note that if you have made a bid and the hammer has fallen and you are the highest bidder you have entered a binding contract to purchase an item at the bid price. New bidders in particular are advised to make themselves known to the sale auctioneer who will assist you with any questions about the conduct of the auction. B. Absentee bidding: ART+OBJECT welcomes absentee bids once the necessary authority has been completed and lodged with ART+OBJECT. A+O will do all it can to ensure bids are lodged on your behalf but accepts no liability for failure to carry out these bids. See the Absentee bidding form in this catalogue for information on lodging absentee bids. These are accepted up to 2 hours prior to the published auction commencement. C. Telephone bids: The same conditions apply to telephone bids. It is highly preferable to bid over a landline as the vagaries of cellphone connections may result in disappointment. You will be telephoned prior to your indicated lot arising in the catalogue order. If the phone is engaged or connection impossible the sale will proceed without your bidding. At times during an auction the bidding can be frenetic so you need to be sure you give clear instructions to the person executing your bids. The auctioneer will endeavour to cater to the requirements of phone bidders but cannot wait for a phone bid so your prompt participation is requested. D. New Zealand dollars: All estimates in this catalogue are in New Zealand dollars. The amount to be paid by successful bidders on the payment date is the New Zealand dollar amount stated on the purchaser invoice. Exchange rate variations are at the risk of the purchaser.
