T he T hurston C ollection Doyle is honored to auction property from The Thurston Collection for the benefit of three charitable organizations in North Carolina. This remarkable collection was assembled

by Stella Rutledge Thurston (1925-2015), who with her husband, Doc Jones Thurston, Jr. (1908-1993), was a prominent philanthropist in Charlotte, North Carolina. A captain of industry, Mr. Thurston established Thurston Motor Lines, which became a leader in the motor carrier field, and later expanded into aviation. Mrs. Thurston devoted herself to her philanthropic work, her carefully curated collections, and her elegant, gracious homes, where she entertained family and friends with warm Southern hospitality.

The Thurston Collection comprises the contents of the Thurston’s home in Charlotte’s historic Eastover neighborhood and their Grandfather Mountain retreat. With a connoisseur’s eye, Mrs. Thurston amassed remarkable collections of important Georgian silver, fine porcelains, European and American paintings, and autograph documents and letters.

Property from Mrs. Thurston’s collection comprises 19 lots offered throughout the sale. Proceeds from the sale of The Thurston Collection will benefit Charlotte Latin School, The Thurston Arthritis Research Center at UNC, Chapel Hill, and The Department of Nephrology and Hypertension at UNC, Chapel Hill.

THE EXPLORERS CLUB COLLECTION Doyle is honored to offer a selection of Rare Books deaccessioned from the library of The Explorers Club. Headquartered in New York City, The Explorers Club is an international multidisciplinary professional society dedicated to the advancement of field research and the ideal that it is vital

"The Explorers Club has cherished our Library and its holdings since our founding. Undertaking this deaccession process will enable us to refine our scope, concentrating on exploration and its history, better serving our members and the many researchers that visit our Library. It is our great hope that this auction will find homes for these volumes that will serve as stewards, not only in preservation, but of the history and accomplishments that each of these books represent," stated the Explorers Club.

to preserve the instinct to explore. Since its inception in 1904, the Club has served as a meeting point and unifying force for explorers and scientists worldwide.

Property from The Explorers Club comprises lots 1 through 78 and includes rare antiquarian works on early voyages and navigations, Asia, the Americas, natural history, and later expeditions.

THE EXPLORERS CLUB COLLECTION 1 ALDROVANDI, [ULISSE] Serpentum et draconum historiae libri duo. Bologna: apud Clementem Ferronium, 1640 (but 1639 from colophon). First edition. 20th century half vellum. 13 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches (34 x 22 cm); [5] ff., 427, [1] pp., 15 ff. (including the page of errata), collating a6-A6 (as usual), A-2M6 2N4 2O-P6 2Q4 [including terminal blank], with superb illustrations of snakes, dragons etc. throughout. Some toning, scattered foxing, occasional pale stains to the lower margin, the engraved title by Io. Baptista Coriolanus trimmed into the design at the foot and fore-edge.

First edition of this posthumous work by Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1605), the first professor of natural sciences at the University of Bologna and one of the earliest major collectors of specimens of natural curiosities. He was responsible for the creation of Bologna’s botanical garden, one of the first in Europe, and his Wunderkammern, his “cabinets of curiosities,” were left to the city upon his death.

A transitional work between classically based zoology (using unreliable sources such as Pliny) with the new natural history based on observation, this is a visually fascinating work combining basilisks and dragons with conventional fauna, including dissections of snakes.

The region passed to the Dutch by conquest, was recaptured, but finally formally returned to the Dutch in 1674. Benoit’s lively drawings capture a rich creole culture, as well as showing the Jewish colonists (including a wonderful drawing of a tailor’s shop). Sabin 4737.

18 16 [CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC] [IDE, SIMEON]. Scraps of California History Never Before Published ...

A Biographical Sketch of the Life of William B. Ide: with a minute and interesting account of one of the largest emigrating companies (3000 miles over land), from the east to the Pacific coast. [Claremont, N.H.:] Published for the Subscribers, [circa 1880]. First edition, the Henry F. DePuy copy with a presentation inscription from Ide’s nephew on the half-title, this an interesting variant issue bound within the original wrappers and preface for Simeon Ide’s 1885 Who Conquered California? [Claremont: 1885].

Early three-quarters morocco, wrappers bound-in. 6 1/2 x 4 1/8 inches (17 x 11 cm); half-title, 239, [1] pp., bound within the wrappers for the above title, 8, [2] pp., being the preface, and a single text leaf of that work.

Covers detached, the DePuy booklabel and Explorers Club bookplate, blindstamp of the New Hampshire Historical Society and ink presentation to them on the half title, some toning to wrappers, a very clean copy internally.

The DePuy copy of a great California rarity. This work provides an account of the Ide family’s 1845 overland journey to California and the 1846 Bear Flag revolt as told by William Ide to his brother Simeon in 1849 and also in a long letter to a Senator. This remarkable story was recorded before William Ide’s death in 1852 but the book was not printed until 1880, when the then 86 year-old Simeon Ide printed it by hand on a small “proof press” in an edition of approximately 80 copies for private distribution. This variant issue corresponds with a copy owned by Frank Streeter (2992) which also contained the text of Scraps of California History bound with the wrappers and preliminary leaves for Ide’s 1885 follow up work Who Conquered California? This copy was most likely assembled for presentation to the New Hampshire Historical Society, the state in which the book was published, and the volume bears an inscription from William Ide’s nephew. The Grabhorn Press reprinted the work in 1944 under the title The Conquest of California. Streeter 2967, 2992, 2993; Graff 2059; Howes I4; Zamorano Eighty 45.

Text volumes 12 1/2 x 10 inches (32 x 25 cm), the atlas 22 1/2 x 17 inches (57 x 42.5 cm); text with engraved portrait frontispieces of Emperor Tchien Lung and the Earl Macartney, one botanical plate of a Camellia, and text engravings; the atlas complete with 44 engraved plates and maps, including 6 double-page and a large folding chart. As noted, the text volumes are rebacked (attractively, retaining the original lettering pieces); the atlas has the front board and endpaper detached, and the rear joint is weak.

Occasional light spotting to the text (which is very wide-margined), the atlas plates generally clean, though with occasional foxing and very minor marginal soiling. The titles and frontispiece plates (and a few other locations) in the text volumes have the Explorers Club blindstamps, as do some of the plates in the Atlas (a minority, however). All volumes bear the 19th century bookplate of John Jarrett, and that of Explorers Club.

Staunton accompanied Lord Macartney’s embassy to China in 1792 as his principal secretary. The spoken aim of the embassy was to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries, though there was the intent to improve commercial relations with China. Macartney (and Staunton) were ultimately successful in obtaining an audience with the Chinese emperor, but their proposals were rejected. Staunton was a gifted observer, and this work records his observations, which extend to the botanical realm.

Staunton’s account also describes the places visited during the expedition, among them Madeira, Tenerife, Rio de Janeiro, Java, Sumatra, and Cochin-China. Brunet V, 525; Cordier Sinica 2382; Cox I, p. 344.

24 DALRYMPLE, ALEXANDER Oriental Repertory. London: George Bigg, 1793-97. First edition, a large paper copy. Two volumes, contemporary calf backed boards.

12 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches (32 x 24.5 cm); Volume I with 16 plates and maps (some folding), 4, 4, [2], iv, iv, iv, iv, [4], 578 pp., index; Volume II with 13 maps and plates (some folding), 2, 2, iv, 4, 4, iv, 576 pp. Together 29 plates and maps. This set without printed wrappers, the contents leaf in volume I only, volume II without a general title (as commonly reported) and without section titles, the title leaf A Plan for the Publication dated 1790 inserted at front and likely purposely misimposed, the fifth part (published 1808) not present here. Explorers Club bookplate to pastedown, blindstamps to title and occasionally elsewhere, ink numerals to a preliminary leaf in both volumes, the lower corner of Hhh2 torn away and a small tape repair to verso of one map but internally this is generally a clean copy, the bindings nearly defective with the text block of volume I split, the work is bibliographically complex and thus sold as is.

This is a very clean, wide-margined copy of a rare collection of tracts devoted to the history and commerce of India and China and, according to the prospectus, was issued in 250 only copies. This copy conforms somewhat to the Brooke-Hitching copy, excepting that copy’s extra-illustrations, in that it is a large paper copy without a general title in volume II or the 1808 continuation. It seems that the text leaf of the Plan for the Publication is bound appropriately in volume I while its dated title leaf is inserted as the title page of volume II. This is an elegantly presented work, with finely executed plated and maps. Besides the Brooke-Hitching copy (sold Sotheby’s, 30 November 2014, lot 356) we trace no copy with all plates and maps sold at auction in decades.

Zweither Theil. Deutsch-Eskimoisch... Budissin: Ernst Moritz Monse, 1866.

First editions (including the very rare second volume). Two volumes, contemporary textured boards with purple sheep spines, edges mottled on the first, spotted on the second. 9 x 6 inches (22.5 x 15 cm); iv, 360 pp.; 242 pp. Explorers Club bookplate laid-in, some wear to joints, overall an attractive copy. With the ownership inscription of R.[obert] A.[rchibald] Logan, noting in the second volume after his name “Ellesmere Island. Latitude 76 20 N 27/8/22,” though curiously a receipted invoice at the end of the first volume is dated 1923.

Robert Logan was a pilot and a surveyor, a combination of skills that led to him being assigned to topographic duties under the command of the polar explorer Captain J.E. Bernier, who established posts at Craig Harbour on Ellesmere Island and Pond Inlet on Baffin Island as part of the 1922 Eastern Arctic expedition. In 1922 Logan and a fellow pilot flew many reconnaissance missions over the Canadian Arctic, issuing the Report of Investigations on Aviation in the Arctic Archipelago carried out during the summer of 1922.

Erdmann’s work is a classic of the subject. The second volume is very rare, and is required for completeness; Pilling Bibliography of the Eskimo Language p. 30 noted its existence but had not located a copy. Zaunmueller 121.

Full title, head f.2r: De terra sancta et itinere iherosolomitano et de statu ei et alijs mirabilibus que in mari conspiciuntur videlicet mediteranco. [Strassburg: Heinrich Eggestyn, i.e. Eggestein, about 1475-80, per BM and GW]. One of two Eggestein editions, the other (existing in two variants) printed in single long lines rather than two columns (priority unclear, though Goff lists the single-line version before this). Modern marbled paper boards, vellum spine with lettering strip in black, fore-edge sprinkled red. 10 x 7 inches (25.5 x 18 cm); 34 ff., f.1 register, initials, section marks and initial letters all rubricated in red throughout, printed in two columns in a semi-Gothic type, 40-42 lines per page. Occasional pale stains, apparently from the fluid medium of the rubricated initials, pages trimmed at the fore-edge, leaving a narrow margin generally clear of the text, but one page with a few letters lost at the foot of the column, occasional marginal comments (often trimmed) and penned emphasis marks on a few leaves, clean two-inch tear into the text of the last two leaves, for all that overall a clean copy of a rare work (six copies, including this, recorded in the US).

Ludolphus de Suchen dispenses practical advice to the pilgrim travelling to the Holy Land. He gives much information on the cities of the Mediterranean through which he had passed, of Constantinople (a primary point of departure), and a secondhand account of the fall of Acre in 1291. He provides details of many of the cities of the Holy Land (Gaza, Nazareth, Damascus, Hebron among others, as well as Jerusalem), of Egypt, the Nile and Jordan rivers and other natural features.

Naturally, there is information on the most sacred spots in Christendom: Mount Carmel, the Sepulchre, Calvary, the Sinai desert, the Mount of Olives and much else. Included also are the various perils of the voyage out, including errant winds, shoals, and dangerous fish (the latter appears likely to be an imposition of tall tales on Ludolphus by a sailor). Suchen (also called Ludolf von Sudheim) travelled in the Levant between 1336-1341, and his account circulated in manuscript from about 1350. Printed by Eggestein from one such manuscript, this narrative of his travels is among the earliest published guide books, and an important early first-person account of the Near East.

Ford.

Jefferys’ important description of Canada, Louisiana, and of the French possessions in the West Indies, was published just as the conflict between Britain and France was accelerating, as is demonstrated by the detailed account of the siege of Quebec that was added in this issue. Geographer to the Prince of Wales, Jefferys produced maps and plans after his own surveys and from existing plans by others, including French geographers. The first part includes detailed plans of Quebec, Montreal, New Orleans and the Siege of Quebec, and the second part maps of Guadeloupe, Grenada and ‘Martinico’ i.e. Martinique. Patrick Coutts, son of one of the founders of the famous English bank, became insane in 1761. Field 775; Howes J-83; Lande 471; Sabin 35964; Streeter sale I:128.

First edition, likely a second issue. Original cloth. 10 7/8 x 8 1/4 inches (28 x 21.5 cm); large folding map (hand-colored in outline) in pocket at front, 3 inserted maps, and 45 mounted photographs (see note).

This report of the official British mission to Yarkund was one of the earliest works of this nature to be photographically recorded. This is likely a second issue, containing only the 45 photographs listed in the plate list and not 102 as in other copies, the presumption being that the supply of the additional photographs had been exhausted. We trace one copy sold with 45 plates (Bloomsbury, 20 April 2001, lot 201), and the catalogue for that sale reported the that the London Library and one British Library copy also only contain 45 photographs. This copy does contain the large folding map, not present in all copies.

Modern cloth retaining original lettered publisher’s cloth mounted on the upper cover. 12 x 17 inches (30.5 x 42.5 cm); with 32 mounted albumen prints (two forming a panorama of the Canal), each image approximately 7 3/4 x 10 7/8 inches (i.e. 192 x 275 mm or the reverse), with a leaf of descriptive letterpress at end.

Rebound retaining a portion of the upper cover as noted, occasional minor soiling especially to the margins of the portrait of Lesseps which also bears an inked shelf number in the margin. With the bookplate of the Explorers Club (gift of Phanor J. Eder).

A rare document of the construction of the Suez Canal. The photographs are signed (and occasionally dated or captioned) in the negative, with generally strong tones (slight adhesive fading at edges). The work documents the construction from its earliest phases to the opening ceremonies on the 18th of November, 1869.

Nissan N. Perez in Focus East: Early Photography in the Near East 1839-1885, mentions of Kozlowski that “It is possible that he was hired by the engineer Stanislaw Janicki, who supervised the digging between Port Said and Ismailia, for which he hired some eighty Polish engineers.” Otherwise, little is known of him, except that he was a Polish emigree living in La Rochelle between 1837 and 1847. No matter what the circumstances of the production of the images were, they are extremely striking; apparently, some were used as early as 1867 in Le Monde in articles on the construction of the canal.

This is a foundational work in the nascent science of geology, and Saussure was one of the first true field geologists, travelling extensively in the Alpine wilderness. He made numerous and difficult mountain traverses while studying the terrain, categorizing the various granites and porphyries he encountered. These treks involved extensive and prolonged mountaineering passages, which gave him considerable pleasure, and he is considered among the earliest recreational mountaineers and travelers. Indeed, he has been called the father and founder of Alpinism, and his enthusiasm was such that he offered a prize for the first ascent of Mont Blanc, which was climbed (and the prize claimed) in 1786.

Two volumes, contemporary tree calf, the spines with black morocco lettering labels. 10 x 8 inches (26 x 21 cm); xviii, 407, index, list of plates, errata pp.; 404 pp., each volume with an index and directions for placing the plates, engraved titles with vignettes, 80 (of 81) engraved plates and maps after William Blake, Bartolozzi, Barlow, etc., (lacks the final plate Europe supported by Africa and America). The upper cover and endpaper of volume I detached, other small losses and wear to joints, Explorers Club bookplate, the lower margin of text and plates occasionally trimmed close with some loss of imprints, the text generally quite clean but some spotting to plates.

An important work with stunning plates after William Blake. Stedman journeyed to Surinam in 1771 to suppress the slave revolt and his narrative provides some of the greatest insight - and indictment of 18th century slave plantations. Many of the plates depicting the conditions endured by slaves are engraved by Blake, in what his biographer Keynes described as “the best executed and most generally interesting of all his journeyman work.” Keynes 98; Abbey Travel 719; Sabin 91075.

Early morocco backed boards, retains both original. 7 5/8 x 4 1/2 inches (18.5 x 12 cm); 84 pp. Upper cover detached and other wear to binding, some faint stains to upper wrappers but a well preserved copy internally, blindstamp to title and two text leaves, ink notation to first leaf, with John Marshall Brown’s Thornhurst bookplate and that of the Explorers Club.

The fascinating, if not entirely factual, account of the life of Okah Tubbee or William McCary, as written by his wife Laah Tubbee. Born around 1810 in Natchez to an African American slave and her white master, Tubbee escaped slavery and married a Native American woman. The narrative here reports Tubbee’s life as a travelling musician, blacksmith, and experiences among the Choctaw, of which he claimed to be the lost son of Head Chief Mosheleh Tubbee. While not referenced in the text, Tubbee is of great Mormon interest, as it is acknowledged that while in Nauvoo, Illinois he was baptized into the Mormon church and joined the Mormons at Winter Quarters, Nebraska where he was excommunicated in 1847 for questioning the church’s stance on the people of color, possibly instigating Brigham Young’s ban on black priests. This edition is rarer than the biographical sketch of Tubbee published by Allen Lewis the same year and is the first prepared by his wife as “drawn up from his own lips.” The last copy we trace at auction is likely this copy, sold

by C.F. Libbie in 1912. Howes T377; Sabin 97294. See also Angela Pulley Hudson, Real Native Genius: How an Ex-Slave and a White Mormon Became Famous Indians, 2015.

Explorers Club bookplate and blindstamps, small ink numeral on title and first leaf, foxing, old dampstain at gutter touching some text, the front cover detached and portions of spine lacking.

An important and rare work by “the father of Newfoundland,” this second issue was enlarged from the 1620 edition to include fifteen pages of letters and gives the only account of George Calvert’s Avalon colony, which was abandoned for Maryland. The text also includes Whitbourne’s strange encounter with a mermaid. We trace few copies of this title at auction and while this copy is lacking two preliminary leaves, a copy sold in 1988 also lacked these leaves, suggesting a variant issue.

Travel, Maps & Atlases 79 [AFRICA] BRUCE, JAMES. Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile 1768, 1769, 1770, 1771, 1772, and 1773. Edinburgh & London: J. Ruthven for G. G. J. & J. Robinson, 1790. First edition. Five volumes, contemporary tree calf, neatly rebacked with new spines and corners. 11 1/2 x 9 inches (29 x 23 cm); with the three folding maps and 58 engraved plates (including three battle plans). Bindings restored as noted, internally clean.

Bruce traced the origins of the Blue Nile in an epic journey, and although at the time his account was received with skepticism, his travels are now accepted as legitimate. Indeed, so offended was he by the incredulity with which he was met that he withdrew to his estates at Kinnaird and did not publish his account for six years. It remains one of the classic accounts of African exploration.

According to Sabin, there is no title page called for in the second volume which is “exactly same as the the original edition of 1685.” This volume bears the contemporary signature of Roger Pepys, potentially a relation to the great diarist, and possibly the son of Roger Pepys, who had been an MP from Cambridge and died in 1688.

90 [MISSISSIPPI BUBBLE] Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid... [Translated title: The Great Mirror of Folly, showing the rise, progress, and downfall of the bubble in stocks and windy speculation, especially in France, England, and the Netherlands in the year 1720, being a collection of all the terms and proposals of the incorporated companies for insurance, navigation, trade, &c. in the Netherlands ... with prints, comedies, and poems published by various amateurs, scoffing at this terrible and deceitful trade, by which various families and persons of high and low condition were ruined in this year, and possessions lost, and honest trade stopped, not only in France and England but in the Netherlands].

[Amsterdam: 1720 on title but likely 1721 or after]. Apparently first edition, “third stage”, using Kuniko Forrer’s classification. Full brown morocco of the period, raised bands with gilt tooling in compartments, all edges speckled. 15 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches (39.5 x 23.5 cm); [2-title], 25, [1], 52, 31, [1], 8 pp., with 60 plates listed on page 26 and 7 on page 61, with the four text pamphlets at the Na-Berigt [postscript] leaf, the pamphlets detached from the binding. This copy actually has 72 plates mounted on guards, including the Floraes geeks-kap plate found in some copies (this relates the earlier Tulipomania), as well as the map of Louisiana etc., but it does not have the engraved title (found only in some copies), nor any of Koninck’s registers (generally, though not universally, associated with later editions). Binding rubbed, but overall sound enough though with cracks to the head and foot of the spine.

A few minor tears to several folding plates, internally quite clean, with strong impressions of the engravings. Although with no internal evidence, this copy originates from the library of Burke Marshall, the head of the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice during the Civil Rights era. Due to the extreme variability of this work (almost all copies differ in make-up, even within the identifiable editions), this is sold as a collection of plates, not subject to return.

One of the great illustrated books of this (or any) period, it is a visual extravaganza of polemical intent directed against the machinations of John Law and the Mississippi Company, whose activities generated the disastrous Mississippi Bubble. In 1717, Law’s “Compagnie d’Occident” (which eventually metamorphosed into the “Compagnie Perpetuelle des Indes”) was granted a virtual trade monopoly of the West Indies and North America by the French government, with an associated bank issuing notes that were guaranteed by Louis XV of France. The result was massive inflation; Dutch investors, who had invested an amount estimated at over 350 million guilders, lost almost all that in this, one the earliest of many such bubble economies. The Dutch should perhaps have known better; they had experienced the disastrous Tulipomania of 1637, which had similar economic consequences.

Bibliographically and iconographically, the work is immensely variable, and extremely complex, though recently explicated to a significant degree by the fine Yale publication The Great Mirror of Folly, published 2013 (where Forrer’s essay is on pp. 35-51).

Giving such effectual instructions to Poor Boys, as may nurse them for the Sea Service, teaching them also to cultivate the earth, that in due time they may furnish their own food; and to spin, knit, weave, make shoes, etc...

[Bound with:] Prudential Moral and Religious Advice, given to Scholars in the proposed Naval Free-Schools... [London: Marine Society’s Office, 1783]. Three-quarter calf and marbled boards, red morocco spine label, expertly rebacked retaining the original label, all edges sprinkled. 14 5/8 x 9 1/2 (37 x 24 cm); iv, [1], x-xxii (pp.v-viii not printed), [2], 2-120, 120*-121*, 121-141, [1] pp. plus 48 pp. of engraved music, and eight engraved plates (five double-page, two folding), folding table, and two engraved vignettes (one on title page and one on first page of dedication); [4-blank, engraved title], v, 67, [1] pp. Boards with some wear, rebacked as noted, slight tear to one folding plate, in all an attractive copy. With the bookplate of Sir John Smith.

A beautifully produced volume, consisting of three parts (the section of psalms and hymns has its own printed title). Hanway founded the Marine Society in 1756 to maintain the supply of British seafarers, and was a prolific pamphleteer. His Proposal is an extremely elaborate work. Its aim was to help provide Britain the huge numbers of men it needed when it was at war, while training them in land-based occupations that would make them productive citizens in peacetime.

93 [NAVAL] Collection of papers including a map, memoranda, warrants etc. pertaining to Rear-Admiral Richard Darton Thomas R.N., 1778-1857. The collection consists of ten warrants on vellum, dated 1797-1854, the first appointing him a Lieutenant, the last an Admiral (also with an incomplete warrant on paper dated the year of his death), all documents signed by the leading Admiralty figures of the times, including the Earl of St. Vincent, John Jervis (signing “St. Vincent”); a carefully rendered pencil map of South America, from Cape Horn to Rio de Janeiro, with a voyage track; the Schedule of My Services during my Command in the Pacific (1841-1844), to which the map presumably pertains; a memorandum of his services 1790-1844; a 1795 recommendation of Thomas that he clearly treasured; and five letters (possibly sent to Thomas) relating to naval matters. Some wear. Thomas, according to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, had a long and illustrious career, entering the Royal Navy in 1790. He was a flag captain to Collingwood for a five-year period, and in all spent nine years in the Mediterranean during the period of the Blockade. Thomas became rear-admiral on 10 January 1837, and was commander-in-chief in the Pacific from 1841 until 1844, a difficult period that included the detention of a Peruvian squadron. The ODNB states “his conduct was commended by the British government.

He was thanked by the American government for helping Americans resident in the Sandwich Islands, and was made an honorary member of the American protestant missionary organization, the Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.”

C $800-1,200 94 ST. HELENA-NAVAL Large notebook or drawing pad with seven single and double-plate maritime views of St. Helena. Unsigned, but in an old pencil notation attributed to H. Cornish.

Boards and spine worn, some worming, mostly in the lower right quadrant of the leaf, one leaf detached.

A stunning series of large nautical views of the island by a very accomplished draughtsman. The views are generally labelled in pencil e.g. St. Helena. NE by W. Distance 5 leagues,” and many (but not all) show Royal Navy vessels, one with a gathering of about twenty ships. Three views are single leaf and four double. There are two additional pencil sketches and a view of a building, perhaps on the island; the balance of the album is blank. While it is tempting to associate this activity with Napoleon’s exile, St. Helena was long a major British base, and the building depicted does not appear to be any of the three residences associated with Napoleon. It is, however, superb nautical art.

C $400-600 111 [BASEBALL FILM - RUTH, BABE] Early film reel in three parts depicting Ruth and the Yankees, submarine pitcher Carl Mays, and more.. Film reel in three parts: the first a 1921 Pathe Newsreel of the Cleveland Indians hosting the New York Yankees, likely August, 1920, with Babe Ruth predominantly featured (this section likely a later print, perhaps 1930s); the second section likely a “positive master” (per Cinelab Inc.) of other baseball reportage, including footage of Carl Mays (see note); the third section an undated colorized cartoon of Ruth at the bat. The three sections spliced together at an early point, with modern leaders, in can and spool, sold with thumb drives containing a digitization of the film. Some wear to film perforations, film in generally sound condition, recently scanned to digital by Cinelab of Boston and with digital copies as noted.

The first section of this amusing newsreel shows the Cleveland Indians hosting the New York Yankees likely during August of the 1920 season. The preoccupation of much of the footage is on Babe Ruth, his contract recently purchased from Boston, appearing here in his Yankee uniform during his first season with the team. The reel opens with the text “The sporting question of the hour . Did Babe Ruth get another [homerun] today?” and continues to show much pre-game activity including Ruth warming up his arm, at batting practice and later at the plate during the game. Also shown is Bob Muesel, Wally Pipp, and Del Pratt who was traded at end of the 1920 season helping to date the footage. This section also contains rare slow motion footage of Carl Mays “the last of the underhand pitchers” who infamously killed beloved Cleveland shortstop Ray Chapman on August 16th, 1920 (during a Yankees home stand against the Indians just weeks later) and, while it is difficult to be certain, Chapman may be visible here in the sequence of the Indians dugout just before the rain delay.

The second portion of the film, possibly a “positive master” print (with strong tones and contrast) shows New York Giants manager John McGraw instructing pitchers in practice, most notably Carl Mays who joined the team for one season only in 1929 (his last in the majors). Mays is shown throwing in his characteristic submarine style and is also interviewed with McGraw gripping the ball for this dangerous pitch. Combined, this footage of Carl Mays’ whipping underhand delivery is a haunting reminder of the dangers of the game, and suggests that the focus of this compilation is equally on Mays as it is on Ruth.

32 DOYLE • NOVEMBER 22, 2016 • NEW YORK

A chilling and very late letter from Booth, in which he mischievously seeks out an item stashed before going into the South, long considered his treasured derringer, and mentioning a known conspirator.

The letter reads in full: “Dear Sir. Hope I shall see you again ere long. Our friend of the stage last Friday never left what I gave to his charge.

You know what I had to take from my carpet-bag. It’s not worth more than $15, but I will give him $20 rather than lose it, as it has saved my life two or three times. He has left the city. If you would be kind enough to get it from him and send it to me I will reimburse you for any outlay, and will never forget you. If you should ever recover it, either send, or give it to our friend, Co. Fayette St. where if you wish you can write me.

Remember me to all the friends I met while in your country. I am yours truly. J. Wilkes Booth.”

Being a famous actor, John Wilkes Booth enjoyed the uncommon privilege of easy passage between Northern and Southern states during the Civil War. In November 1864, Booth toured southern Maryland claiming to be a real estate investor and, having had successfully speculated in frontier oil investments, this guise would have seemed quite credible. In truth, Booth was touring Southern Maryland in hopes of locating a reliable route out of Maryland into Virginia after his plotted kidnapping or assassination of President Lincoln. In Bryantown, Maryland Booth stayed at the hotel owned by Henry Burch and found himself among a group of Confederate sympathizers to whom he may have confided his plot. As was typical of Booth in this period, he befriended young J. D. Burch, son of the innkeeper, and was obviously

comfortable enough with him to contact him with this letter days later. It seems that on his trip to Bryantown, Booth became suspicious that Federal agents were monitoring him, and he planted his gun with the driver of the stagecoach to return to him in Washington rather than risk having it confiscated in a search.

As of the date of this letter the stagecoach driver had failed to deliver the item, and Booth penned this letter to Burch seeking its return, couching his devious intents in the flattering language that he frequently employed when attempting to influence a potential, typically young male co-conspirator (it is uncertain but possible that this letter regards the gun used to assassinate Lincoln). In a rare instance, Booth alludes to “our friend” on Fayette Street in Baltimore - this being the home of Samuel Arnold, a conspirator in the plot to kidnap Lincoln, further suggestive of the dark road he attempted to lead Burch down (Arnold was convicted for his role and sentenced to life in prison at Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas).

This letter is a remarkable survival as the legal and reputational ramifications of association with Booth were well acknowledged by most of his confidants immediately following the assassination and manhunt that followed. Many recipients of Booth’s late letters simply destroyed them to protect themselves rather than risk association with the larger conspiracy. Much of the explanatory information above was supplied in 1936 by a descendant of Burch to the Lincoln scholar David Rankin Barbee, to whom it was reported that young Burch hid this letter from Booth behind a brick in the hearth of his father’s home for many years. A transcription of the letter was found among the Barbee papers and the letter was published in Right or Wrong, God Judge Me: The Writings of John Wilkes Booth in 1997 (p. 123) with the original descending in the family since 1864.

Rare: this letter is the second closest in date to Booth’s assassination of Lincoln on April 15th, 1865 that has come to auction in recent years. Vain to the end, that letter was written to a Boston photography firm requesting additional images of himself, and contained none of the nefarious undertones present in this letter to J. D. Burch.

115 115 BURR, AARON Autograph letter signed to Major Augustin Prevost. N.p.: 5 April 1789. Two page autograph letter signed “A. Burr” on recto and verso of one folded sheet with integral blank, the address panel accomplished in Burr’s hand. 9 1/4 x 7 1/2 inches (24 x 19.5 cm).

Folds with some discreet tissue repair, one short split not affecting text, the blank with small losses where roughly opened, sold by Walter Benjamin.

In this rushed letter to his wife’s nephew Major Augustin Prevost (1744-1821), Burr offers advice on a real estate transaction: “I cannot describe to you the distress and anxiety which it gave me. Your contract seems to involve inevitable ruin ... this goes by a private conveyance ... he waits for this letter and is danger of losing his passage.” The British/Swiss Prevosts are an intriguing element of Burr’s history. This Augustine Prevost was the son the Major General in the British Army who had fought against the Continentals in the Revolution and had died in 1786. At the time of this letter, Major Prevost was working on behalf of Sir Frederick Haldimand, the Swiss born Governor of Quebec, attempting to entice settlers to populate Haldimand’s lands in Bedford County, PA, a likely predecessor to the Whiskey Rebellion, and this letter seems to relate to those transactions.

In this letter, Burr congratulates Gerry on his appointment during the XYZ affair and recommending him to seek out “young Prevost, who was Secretary to Monroe and now in Paris. I have thought that he might be usefull to you...” This refers to John Bartow Prevost, who had aided Monroe in France starting in 1795.

117 [HAMILTON, ALEXANDER & BURR, AARON] Legal document signed by Alexander Hamilton and with the secretarial signature of Aaron Burr on the dismissal of the critical New York land tract dispute Burr v. Angerstein. [New York:] In Chancery, 12 November 1802. One page manuscript document in the hand of Burr’s legal clerk, secretarially signed “A.Burr” above the genuine signature “A.Hamilton.” Docketed on verso in another hand “Burr vs. Angerstein/D. Order/Feb. 8. 1803.” 8 x 7 1/8 inches (21 x 18.5 cm). The document formerly framed and evenly toned with some lighter areas around border, old mounting across header, small pinhole in left margin and two very short tears at right margin, overall highly presentable.

THE DISMISSAL OF THE CASE WHICH GREATLY FUELED THE FIRE OF ANIMOSITY BETWEEN BURR AND HAMILTON. This important legal document reads in full: “In Chancery/A. Burr vs.

J.J. Angerstein/On motion of the Complainant & with consent of Mr. Hamilton, counsel for the deft. It is ordered that this bill be dismissed/A. Burr/A. Hamilton of Counsel for the Defendent/12 Nov 1802.”

The history of this case is rooted in the “Macomb Tract,” the million plus acres in northern New York released for sale after the American Revolution and sold in 1792 to the fur trader and land speculator Alexander Macomb who divided it into large parcels for resale.

Through agents, a large tract was sold to Englishman John Julius Angerstein, the wealthy chairman of Lloyd’s of London, who bought his tract under the stipulation that his title to the land, clouded because Englishmen could not own American soil, would be cleared by proposed legislation allowing aliens to own land outright. Enter Senator Aaron Burr, who did attempt to pass this legislation but when it failed entered into an agreement to buy Angerstein’s land himself (with a substantial penalty for default), seeking out several partnership arrangements, all of which fell through in a complicated comedy of errors. Ultimately, Angerstein attempted to collect the default penalty from Burr, who discredited Angerstein’s claim.

Disgusted, Angerstein brought suit against him, retaining Burr’s nemesis Alexander Hamilton as counsel, and despite Burr’s attempts to block the proceedings, in 1799 the lawsuit Angerstein v. Burr was finally brought forth. Angerstein was eventually awarded the 24,000 pound penalty (approximately $80,000) but this was negotiated to half that amount, the debt settled by Burr being forced to relinquish other valuable lands he possessed. The present document represents Hamilton’s acceptance of Burr’s debt payment plan on behalf of Angerstein, and the case was fully dismissed in February 1803 (this date docketed on the verso).

Burr’s enmity towards Hamilton must have been intensified by the financially disastrous outcome of these proceedings. During the period of the suit, the contentious presidential election of 1800 had taken place, with Hamilton frequently using Burr’s debts against him to promote the Federalist cause, surely deepening the rift between them.

This document is of the utmost rarity: we trace no similar example in commerce that names both Burr and Hamilton, let alone a document with such evocative undercurrents pointing to Burr’s animosity towards Hamilton, all of which set the stage for the infamous 1804 duel that resulted in Hamilton’s death.

Old marginal tear without loss to E4 in the first volume. Early signature of H.L. Boswell at the heads of the titles and of the first text leaves.

The first edition of what PMM refers to, with full justice, as “the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought.” In the Wealth of Nations, Smith “begins with the thought that labour is the source from which a nation derives what is necessary to it. The improvement of the division of labour is the measure of productivity and in it lies the human propensity to barter and exchange... The Wealth of Nations ends with a history of economic development, a definitive onslaught on the mercantile system, and some prophetic speculations on the limits of economic control” (PMM).

MANUSCRIPT

THE PRESENT STATE OF THE BRITISH COLONIES IN AMERICA

124 [COLONIAL AMERICA - MANUSCRIPT] The Present State of the British Colonies in America, also known as The Hillsborough Colonial Returns. A circa 1773-75 manuscript of approximately 500 pp., being a fair copy in the hands of various clerks of responses to a circular letter sent by Lord Dartmouth to the governors of British colonies in America on 5 July 1773. The current manuscript contains the “returns” addressed to the “Heads of Enquiry” for twenty-two colonies in North America (Massachusetts-Bay, New Hampshire with a decorative copy of a cover letter by Governor John Wentworth, Connecticut, New York with a decorative copy of a cover letter by Governor William Tryon, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, and West Florida); the Caribbean (Jamaica, Barbados, the Leeward Islands & Virgin Islands, Grenada, Curacao, Tobago, Dominica, St. Vincent, Bermuda, and Bahamas); and Canada (Nova Scotia, St. John-now Prince Edward Island). Contemporary vellum, the covers with a tooled border in gilt, the spine with gilt rules and a contemporary green morocco label reading “Present State of the British Colonies in America.” 14 5/8 x 9 1/2 inches (37.5 x 24.5 cm). Many leaves watermarked, including a “Strasburg fleur-de-lis over the characters VDL,” “VL” and others, these likely the Dutch firm Van der Ley. Contains several charts, several hand-ruled in red; a note in a contemporary hand on the front blank reports there were no returns from Quebec, Rhode Island, North & South Carolina, East Florida, and that of West Florida is incomplete. Most leaves with three vertical folds (once folded into quarters), some dust soiling in the Jamaica section suggesting other circulation, minor soiling and wear to the binding, internally quite clean, an extremely well preserved compilation of documents.

Provenance: Wills Hill (1718-93), the Earl of Hillsborough and 1st Marquess of Downshire, First Lord of Trade (1763-72) and Secretary of State to the Colonies (1768-72); offered as part the Trumbull Papers (Sotheby’s London, 14 December 1989) and sold by private treaty; shortly thereafter acquired by the current consignor.

C $100,000-150,000 See Illustration THERE IS LIKELY NO GREATER MANUSCRIPT IN PRIVATE OWNERSHIP PROVIDING AS DETAILED AN ACCOUNT OF THE ENGLISH COLONIAL GOVERNORS PERSPECTIVE OF THEIR COLONIES ON THE EVE OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. The circular issued by Lord Dartmouth to the governors took the form of a questionnaire of about twenty inquiries pertaining to the history, geography and population of each colony with a particular focus on navigable rivers, sources of revenue, illegal trade, relations with Indians, quantities of slaves, the extent of militias, and each colonies individual form of government, charter, and constitution. The result is a highly readable (in terms of being both legibly written and entertaining) journey through the history, present state, and cultural attitudes of these colonial entities as they saw themselves around 1775. For instance, in Governor Tryon’s return for New York (at nearly 50 pages) there are fine descriptions of the Hudson River, border disputes with neighboring colonies, a history of the English takeover from the Dutch, and insight to the English perspective on the rights of Indians to sell their own land: “Purchases from the Indian Natives, as of their aboriginal right, have never been held to be a legal title in this Province, the maxim obtaining here as in England that the King is the fountain of all real property, and that from this source all titles are to be derived.” The New York return also contains a copy of the 1726 document Surrender by the Five Nations of their Beaver hunting Country replete with the copied marks of the representatives of the Five Nations (pictured here).

Given the presence of the English, French, Spanish, and Native Americans in America in the mid-18th century, it is no surprise that a large scale conflict had already erupted on the territorial fringes of the North American colonies, and in the Hillsborough Colonial Returns there is much contemporary account of lands gained, shifted borders, and civil issues resulting from the recently terminated French and Indian War. For instance, New Jersey Governor William Franklin (son of Benjamin), comments on this western expansion: “The inhabitants I suppose to have increased upwards of 20,000 in the last ten years, though a great number have quitted the Colony and have migrated to Virginia, North Carolina, the Ohio, Mississippi, etc. The principal reason of their increase is there being plenty of land to be had, at a moderate price, by which they can easily procure a subsistence for a family, and consequently are encouraged to marry early in life.”

Also surprisingly, and soon to be to the advantage of the Americans, most colonies report the disappearance of defensive forts and standing militias, as in Pennsylvania: “Since the conclusion of the last war no forts or places of defense have been kept up within VIEW THE FULLY ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE AND BID ONLINE AT DOYLE.COM 39

the Government, but there is at present a stone fortification in an island in the River Delaware, called Mud Island, about 10 miles below the city of Philadelphia, intended for the security & protection of the city ... But this fort is left unfinished for want of a sufficient fund.” This fort became Fort Mifflin and was completed and possessed by the Americans in 1776. To Dartmouth, the American colonists likely seemed a peaceable and easily conquered people without any home-grown military strength.

LORD DARTMOUTH, PREOCCUPIED WITH EARNING POTENTIAL, POPULATION AND GEOGRAPHICAL DETAILS PAYS LITTLE ATTENTION TO THE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF THE COLONISTS - A COSTLY IGNORANCE. As the manuscript returns to his circular were beginning to arrive in late 1773, Dartmouth would learn of the Boston Tea Party, a monumental event in terms of the agitation of Americans over economic issues. Dartmouth usually sought conciliatory actions with the colonies but by 1774 he endorsed the Coercive Acts to suppress the rebellion and, unable to support all-out war against the colonies, Dartmouth resigned his post by the end of 1775. Lord Hillsborough

had preceded Dartmouth in his role as First Lord of Trade and remained a close advisor. Given his ties to the administration, it is likely that this copy was executed for his advice and future use, and it is conceivable that Hillsborough was considered one of the “Heads of Enquiry” to whom the returns are addressed. The manuscript was found amongst the state papers held for generations by each succeeding Marquess of Downshire at their Easthampstead estate until the papers were dispersed in 1989 in a major auction in London.

Compiled and bound as such, this manuscript is surely one of very few official copies of these returns produced (we locate one other copy, that made for Henry Strachey and now in the Clements Library). A compilation of colonial manuscripts of this nature prepared for government use is rare in commerce, particularly with distinguished provenance and in such a well preserved state. Clearly worthy of institutional research, the description here barely touches the complete contents of this massive work.

“In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. A Declaration by the Representatives of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, in General Congress Assembled. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another ...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

This issue of William Bradford’s The Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser, one of the earliest printings of the Declaration of Independence in any form, is possibly the only copy in a private collection, and is held by only eight institutions. This printing is notable as it was published by the revolutionary printer William Bradford, who during 1774-75 had been the official printer to the Congress gathered

at Philadelphia. Bradford, a serious patriot, had been publishing The Pennsylvania Journal since the 1740s and had printed both the “skull and crossbones” and “tombstone” motifs into his mastheads to protest the Stamp Act in 1765 and also had printed the infamous “Unite or Die” masthead throughout much of 1775. In 1776, as the Congress continued to debate independency in Philadelphia, Bradford switched his masthead from “Unite or Die” to the present, a woodcut figural vignette featuring a Native American, a winged trumpeter, a sailing vessel, and the “Journal” opened on a stand. This vignette is quite evocative of colonial American life in the 18th century, a century dominated by transatlantic voyages, Indian alliances and wars, and of course a slow but increasingly important stream of reliable news. At the outbreak of hostilities, Bradford joined the Pennsylvania militia (at 57 years old) and served throughout much of the war. William Bradford as patriot printer stands in great contrast to the loyalist printer Benjamin Towne, whose thrice-weekly Pennsylvania Evening Post was the first to publish the text of the Declaration

in a newspaper on Saturday, July 6th.

Throughout the war, Towne’s paper flipped loyalties depending on which army possessed Philadelphia, going as far to rename his paper The Royal Pennsylvania Gazette when the British took the city in 1778 (it is no surprise he was eventually arrested for treason).

The July 10th Declaration of Independence issue of Bradford’s Pennsylvania Journal is scarce. The Saturday, July 6th issue of Towne’s Pennsylvania Post is known in 19 copies.

John Dunlap printed the text on Monday, July 8th in his Pennsylvania Packet which is known in 12 copies. On July 10th, the same day as the current issue, the text also appeared in Hall & Sellers’ Pennsylvania Gazette, which in contrast featured the arms of proprietor William Penn topped by a British lion in its masthead, is known in 17 copies. Thus, the July 10th issue of Bradford’s The Pennsylvania Journal, known in only eight institutions and this possibly single privately held example, survives in the least amount of known copies and is genuinely rare (according to Brigham, the institutional count was eight, but a recent

43

examination of the New York Historical Society’s bound volume for 1776 found this issue to be excised, but an additional copy located at the Gloucester County Historical Society restores this count to eight). Besides the three examples of Towne’s Evening Post sold at auction since 2007, the only other early Philadelphia newspaper printing of the Declaration that we trace sold at auction recently was dated July 13th (see Christie’s, 4 December 2014, lot 6).

Other news on the front page of this issue is a resolution to “march under the command and direction of our Brigadier Generals to the assistance of all or any of the FREE and INDEPENDENT STATES of AMERICA” and also a report that “On Monday last ... the Declaration of the Independency of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA was read to a very large number of the inhabitants of this city and country, which was received with general applause and heart-felt satisfaction. And in the evening our late King’s coat of arms was brought from the Hall, in the State-House, where the said King’s courts were formerly held, and burned amidst the acclamations of a crowd of spectators.” Thus, this issue of The Pennsylvania Journal is a highly desirable and rare item of Americana which delivers not only our country’s founding document but also evokes the tremendous urgency, trepidation, and elation felt by those present in Philadelphia during our nation’s first days in July, 1776.

126 [DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE - BROADSIDE] WOODRUFF, WILLIAM. In Congress, July 4th, 1776. The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States... Philadelphia: Published

by O. Rogers, n.d. [but retaining the earlier imprint “Printed by E. Valentine, N. York” - thus this edition likely published circa 1837].

Engraved broadside headed by an eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch above medallion portraits of Washington, Jefferson, and Adams, the seals of the original thirteen states set within a decorative leafy border, the text of the Declaration above engraved facsimile signatures, the lower margin with Woodruff’s dedication at center and with the Rogers imprint below, “Engraved by Wm. Woodruff” just below the image at lower right and the Valentine imprint, which is quite faint as if not fully scrubbed from the plate, appearing just below image at lower left (see note). Plate marks: 27 7/8 x 21 1/4 inches (70.8 x 54 cm); in a large, old wooden frame. Professionally cleaned and thus quite bright, some toning and soiling to white marginal areas, an indistinct pencil signature on the verso.

The printing history of this early Declaration of Independence broadside is complicated as in 1818, John Binns, whose similar engraving was set to be published, claimed that William Woodruff had pirated his design and sued but the case was dismissed in court. Woodruff was thus able to issue his version first, in February 1819, while Binn’s would not appear until November, and it was the controversy over this print that help generate much renewed interest in the Declaration itself. The present example resembles an 1820s New York edition of the broadside as it contains Valentine’s imprint (which appears partially scrubbed) but is likely a variant. As noted by Bidwell, Rogers’s Philadelphia imprint was not added until about 1837 when the broadside was reprinted from the original plate but with the signatures re-engraved in facsimile (as opposed to the calligraphic signatures on the earlier version).

The current print also retains the earlier versions of the portraits and the state seals, most notably showing Washington in civilian rather than military dress, which were re-engraved for a New York edition published by Phelps & Ensign in the 1840s. Bidwell 4.

This is the true first issue of John Kennedy’s uncommon second book, printed in memory of his older brother Joe, a Navy pilot killed in action in 1944. The death of his brother thrust Kennedy into the role of eldest son in the Kennedy family and greatly influenced his future. It is presumed that 360 copies of the first issue were distributed among family and friends upon publication in 1945 and is thus quite rare; a second issue with a replaced title page was distributed by Robert Kennedy in 1965.

Upon moving into The White House in 1961, Jacqueline Kennedy undertook a well publicized restoration and redecoration of the Presidential residence. The televised documentary, under the same title as this volume, aired on Valentine’s Day 1962 and not only gave Americans a glimpse of the rarely seen private residence but also greatly elevated the young First Family in the American mindset.

The TV documentary, considered the first targeted to a female audience, was wildly popular and naturally created the market for this publication. Helen Brooks, recipient of this book, worked in the President’s office and likely had it inscribed through Evelyn Lincoln. Despite the popularity of the documentary and the resulting publications, we trace no other signed copy.

[Amsterdam: n.d., likely 1780].

Later, probably fourth edition, according to Kuniko Forrer’s classification. Modern half morocco, cloth sides. 16 x 10 1/8 inches; [2-title], 25, [1-Koninck’s engraved plate list, which indicated 74 plates], [1], 75 engraved plates, many folding, 52, 31 [1], [8], 10 pp.

Small perforated and embossed library stamps at foot of title, some minor dampstaining, mostly to the final textual portion of the work, the plates generally clean (one short professionally repaired tear). Due to the extreme variability of this work (almost all copies differ in make-up, even within the identifiable editions), this is sold as a collection of plates, not subject to return.

One of the great illustrated books of the period, a visual extravaganza of polemical intent directed against the machinations of John Law and the Mississippi Company, whose activities generated the Mississippi Bubble. In 1717, Law’s “Compagnie d’Occident” (which eventually metamorphosed into the “Compagnie Perpetuelle des Indes”) was granted a virtual trade monopoly of the West Indies and North America by the French government, with an associated bank issuing notes that were guaranteed by Louis XV of France. The result was massive inflation;

Dutch investors, who had invested an amount estimated at over 350 million guilders lost almost all that investment, in this, one the earliest of many such bubble economies.

The Dutch should perhaps have known better; they had experienced the disastrous Tulipomania of 1637, which had had similar economic consequences. The plates themselves are remarkably varied in design, though all are printed from copper plates on varying sizes and weights of paper, with the majority of them folding. Each of the plates incorporates some form of explanatory text, often in the form of satirical verse. “Rarely does a single volume combine in itself so much economic interest and so many bibliographical puzzles.

Of the volume’s real significance in economic literature there can be no doubt ... There is scarcely another item just like it” (Cole, The Great Mirror of Folly, Kress Library).

Bibliographically and iconographically, the work is immensely variable, and extremely complex, though recently explicated to a significant degree by the fine Yale publication The Great Mirror of Folly, published 2013 (where Forrer’s essay is on pp. 35-51). Kress 3217 (variant); Goldsmiths 5879; Sabin 28932. The work is sold with two clamshell cases, one containing three English laws of the period with financial bearing on the Bubble (and a copy of John Sperling’s excellent bibliography of the literature); the other has a sewn copy of The speech of the Right Honourable John Aislabie, Esq; upon his defence made in the House of Lords, against the bill for raising money upon the estates of the South-Sea directors, on Wednesday the 19th of July 1721.

THE DIARY KEPT ON SHIP BY THE FIRST SURGEON OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY. From 1790, Edward Cutbush (1772-1843) had been resident physician of the Pennsylvania Hospital and this diary commences with a series of retained letters from his appointment as Surgeon General of the Pennsylvania Militia during the 1794 Whiskey Rebellion (and provides instructions for the operating of field hospitals and the proper form of a hospital register). But it is Cutbush’s entry of 28 May 1799 that transforms this manuscript: “Appointed Surgeon in the Navy of the United States, and rec’d orders to join the Frigate United States. 50 Guns. Commodore John Barry.

James Barron Capt. Now, commences a new scene of life.”

The U.S.S. United States, one of the six original frigates ordered by the Naval Act of 1794, is considered the first ship of the U.S. Navy.

The main voyage recorded here set out in November 1799, when the United States left Newport with the Envoy Extraordinary to the Republic of France including Oliver Ellsworth, Chief Justice of the United States.

The political environment during the Quasi-War was tense, and each ship encountered on the voyage is avoided or nervously approached including one which was “rather shy of us, kept at a distance and hoisted American colours, & no doubt was pleased to see the American colours hoisted on board of us.” After making landfall in Portugal and describing the unfortunate situation of Lisbon, the envoy headed towards France but were waylaid by an unscrupulous Spanish sailor who intentionally led them astray and into great peril (“the rascal ought to have been hung”). With Coruna in sight, a group of heavily armed ships were spotted as they approached, including one which “came within gun shot and hoisted English colours, the frigate fired a shot, which fell ahead of us, we fired a gun to leeward and hoisted American colors. Lieut. Church came from Admiral Duckworth’s ship Leviathan 74 guns, to apologize in the name of the Admiral, to Commodore Barry, for having fired the shot, he supposed us a Spanish ship under American colours.”

In May 1802, during the Barbary Wars, the manuscript resumes from Gibraltar where Cutbush has arrived on the frigate Constellation and he provides a long description of the coast there and repeats the warning of the Algerian Consul that a Portuguese vessel had been taken with 70 killed and 278 made slaves. Cutbush’s last note is dated June 1st 1802 when he visited Carthage, and following this is a short conclusion of his life events through 1829. The balance of the book is devoted to finely accomplished plans and drawings of Cutbush’s house in Geneva, New York.

Of note in this manuscript are Cutbush’s patriotic sentiments of January 1800 upon learning of the death of George Washington: “The bright luminary of the Western Hemisphere. Washington! The Father of the American people ... is alas no more. May the almighty God who led him through the path of victory and who raised him to the highest pinnacle of Earth’s glory, place him in majesty at his right hand, thus to preside over and protect the Infant Republic of the United States whose welfare was ever the nearest wish of his heart.”

By January 1801 the United States is off Antigua and several pages are devoted to a Thermometrical Journal recording the temperature of the atmosphere, a type of chart associated with Benjamin Franklin, and Cutbush notes “The water sparkeles very much, which is contrary to the opinion of Dr. Franklin...”

137 [PRESIDENTIAL LETTERS - PIERCE, FRANKLIN] Approximately ninety autograph letters signed from Franklin Pierce to Sidney Webster, 1854-1869. Bound volume, three-quarters smooth brown calf, marbled sides with the letters from Webster, Pierce’s private secretary, laid-in. Some in the original mailing envelopes, ranging from short letters to epistles of many pages. Usual creases, a very few with minor defects, (one with Pierce’s signature extracted).

Pierce was the 14th President of the United States (1853-57), and was born November 23, 1804, in a log cabin in Hillsborough, New Hampshire. Sidney Webster was also from New Hampshire, born in Gilmanton in 1828, and went on to graduate from Yale in 1848 and subsequently Harvard Law School in 1850. When Pierce assumed the presidency in 1853, he selected the young Webster as his private secretary, and the two men remained friends until Pierce’s death in 1869.

The present volume covers the following years, the number of letters in parentheses: 1854 (1); 1855 (7); 1856 (3) 1857 (41, including a touching letter from Pierce thanking Webster for his efforts as secretary); 1858 (15); 1859 (6); 1860 (3); 1861 (6); 1862 (5); 1863 (1); 1864 (2); 1868 (2); 1869 (1); five undated letters. In addition, the archive contains four letters from Pierce to Hamilton Fish (Webster was married to Sarah Fish, eldest daughter of Senator Fish); two letters to Sidney Webster from Jefferson Davis (one separated at the folds); one from Stephen A. Douglas; and two from other luminaries of the period.

This copy retains the leaf printing the testimony of those witnesses who claimed to “have seen the engravings which are upon the plates,” or the original gold tablets of Nephi from which Smith drew the text. The manuscript “was delivered a few pages at a time to the typesetter, who supplied all the punctuation and paragraphing” (Crawley and Flake) and Egbert B. Grandin, publisher of the Wayne Sentinel, printed the edition of approximately 5000 copies. The book was published on March 26, just weeks before the formal organization of The Church of Christ on April 6, 1830, and very soon after Smith and the Mormons abandoned Palmyra, New York for Kirtland, Ohio (see the next lot).

Some light spotting and creasing, tab to margin of first leaf of preface, without blanks, title lightly toned, stamps to modern endleaves, remnants of spine label, generally a clean copy.

Printed at Kirtland, Ohio, this second edition of The Book of Mormon is considered rarer than the first and was the first to be printed within the faith. Joseph Smith, who had led the Mormons to Kirtland from Palmyra, New York in January 1831, is here attributed as the translator of the work rather than its author, and the book was reprinted by after careful comparison to the original manuscript apparently incorporating over 3000 changes. While the preface reports the edition to be 5000 copies, a typesetter in the Kirtland shop later recalled it to be only 3000. From 1831, Kirtland was a the major hub of Mormonism (with an outpost in Jackson County, Missouri) and a temple was erected as was the print shop that produced this edition in 1837, but by the end of that year tensions had erupted into violence, a church-sponsored bank had failed, and after a stop-over in Missouri the Mormons headed to Nauvoo, Illinois (see next lot).

Modern buckram, the spine gilt lettered. 5 5/8 x 3 3/8 inches (14.8 x 9 cm); without front blank, 571 [3] pp., retains testimony leaves at end, but textually imperfect: signature 2 lacks four leaves (without pages 13/14, 15/16, 21/22, 23/24 but with a duplicate leaf 27/28), signature 13 lacks four leaves (without pages 145/146, 147/148, 153/154, 155/156 but with four duplicate leaves from signature 11 in its place). Foxing, some faint stains at end, the final leaf nearly detached, lacking leaves as noted, stamps to modern endleaves. The third edition of the Book of Mormon is a considerable rarity as the first state was printed in an edition of only 2000 copies by Ebenezer Robinson and Don Carlos Smith, younger brother of Joseph Smith. The edition also provides readings not found in the first two editions. While the work is imprinted from the Mormon’s outpost at Nauvoo, Illinois (they had arrived there in 1839 and Smith had chosen the name from the Hebrew word meaning “to be beautiful”), the book was actually printed in Cincinnati, Illinois under the supervision of the firm of Shepard and Stearns. The misimposed leaves in this copy appear to be contemporary to publication and, perhaps coincidentally, a copy of this edition sold at Swann in 2014 lacked leaves 149/150 and 151/152 which are the only leaves present in signature 13 in this copy.

Retains the detached lower board only, which is contemporary calf, the spine perished and the binding otherwise defective. 5 3/4 x 3 5/8 inches (15 x 9.7 cm); 571 [3] pp., with the testimony leaf and blank at end. Title stamped at header and detached, some heavy foxing and small stains, several creased corners, without front blank.The scarce fourth American edition of The Book of Mormon is distinctly rare (there had been a Liverpool first English edition in 1841, rendering this the fourth American). This edition was the first printed in Nauvoo, Illinois and was the last edition published with Joseph Smith’s corrections.

Nauvoo, situated on swampy land, was an inhospitable place, and many Mormons succumbed to illness there. The Mormons’ time in Nauvoo was tempestuous, as Smith would excommunicate several confidants, incite a riot, and die at the hands of an angry mob in 1844. The Mormons headed west in 1846 under the new leadership of prophet Brigham Young, arriving in the Salt Lake Valley the following year, thus ending their 20 year search for a permanent home - and The Book of Mormon was not officially printed again until 1871. Of this final edition printed during Smith’s lifetime, we trace only one copy sold at auction in fifty years, and that in 1991. Sabin 83042; Flake 599; Crawley 159.

Toned silver print, with blindstamped title below the image and “Copyright 1914 - P. N. Co.” in the bottom right corner.

11 1/2 x 4 1/2 (290 x 100 mm); framed.

A very small abraded area in the face, a few spots but otherwise clean, the mount with dampstain and split at corner. An iconic American photograph, long debated to have been of Josie Earp, wife of the famed gunslinger, and possibly taken while drunk at Tombstone in 1881. The image as first published in 1914 became a popular pin-up during WWI and was later used in 1960s psychedelic rock posters.

147 [WESTERN] Original charcoal portrait of “Mysterious” Dave Mather. N.p.: n.d. Charcoal portrait heightened with white. 18 x 14 inches (47x 35 cm); in an old frame. Some smudging and wear, sold as is. “Mysterious” Dave Mather was a Dodge City lawman and notorious western gunman. This drawing may be after the known photograph of him, although he appears somewhat younger in this portrait. The verso of the frame bears an intriguing modern note: “Came from Pan Acme Firearms. Came from Doc Holliday House Tombstone Arz. Dave H. Mather.” Mather first met Wyatt Earp in Mobeetie, Texas where they were run out of town for scheming to sell fake gold bricks and it is conjectured that Mather was introduced to Doc Holliday through Earp in East Las Vegas, New Mexico in the 1870s.

149 149 WASHINGTON, GEORGE Document signed certifying the repayment of a debt incurred by Jacob Vanbraham [Van Braam] dating back to the French and Indian War. Mount Vernon: 10 January 1786. One page certification in a secretarial hand signed by Washington, the document regarding the 1774 repayment by James Mercer to Washington of “currency for the use of Jacob Vanbraham Esq late of Virginia formerly a Capt in the Virginia Regiment ... for securing the said Vanbraham’s quota of lands ... under the proclamation of the Honble. Robert Dinwiddie ...” The verso of the document with a letter dated 21 May 1786 to Vanbraham in the hand of James Mercer requesting of him repayment of the amount plus interest.

9 x 7 1/4 inches (23 x 19 cm); in an elaborate and heavy frame with portrait and plaque.

Folds with some tissue repair to verso over Mercer’s signature and portions of his letter, the dark and bold Washington signature over a fold which has an unrepaired split bisecting the signature, a small puncture at fold affects one letter, some spotting to edges.

Jacob Vanbraham (spelled Van Braam in earlier correspondence) was a Dutch born mercenary soldier who arrived in Virginia in 1752 and may have trained a young George Washington in military arts. In 1754, Vanbraham served under Colonel Washington as a Captain in the Virginia Regiment on his expedition to the Ohio Country at the outset of the French and Indian War.

Upon the surrender of Fort Necessity it was Vanbraham that translated the Articles of Capitulation and soon found himself in scandal due to his use of the word “assassinated” in his description of the death of Jumonville. To enforce the surrender terms, Vanbraham and one other were held by the French and not released until 1760.

Due to the scandal, Vanbraham was initially excluded from the official distribution of lands to officers but because of his long suffering was granted his back pay and his quota of 9000 acres in accordance with Dinwiddie’s 1754 proclamation.

Here, Washington certifies that he had been repaid in 1774 by James Mercer for the monies he extended on behalf of Vanbraham to secure his claim while in confinement and, not surprisingly, the verso of the document contains a letter from Mercer attempting to get paid, now twelve years later, by Vanbraham who had resurfaced in France and had recently written Washington a letter offering his whereabouts since 1775.

That letter survives, and in it Vanbraham reports that in England he had been unwillingly conscripted into the British Army and forced to fight against the Americans in the Revolution, this association with the enemy certainly souring him in the eyes of Washington. It does not appear that Washington returned the letter from his old mentor.

This letter sold California Book Auctions, 18 November 18 1998, lot 5747.

THE COLLECTION OF DR. JULIUS DINTENFASS

Dr. Julius Dintenfass, 1910-1997

Dr. Julius Dintenfass was an internationally known chiropractor whose many contributions to the field were recognized in 1963 when Governor Nelson Rockefeller presented him with New York State Chiropractic License number 1. His 1966 book Chiropractic: A Modern Way To Health sold more than 400,000 copies and addressed needs of both professionals and patients. He believed his greatest contribution however, was as Editor, with his wife Ruth, of “Science Sidelights Newsletter” which published medical and health materials from all over the world. Dr. Dintenfass’ passion for medicine was matched by his interest in history. He loved the feel

of original letters in his hands and documents signed by leading world figures, and formed a complete collection of presidential signatures. His daughters remember how he enjoyed sharing the collection, and the history it represented, with his family and friends, and his periodic invitations to speak at conventions and historical societies. He acquired many of his documents from major dealers and experts in the field and was himself a devoted researcher of each document he acquired, taking a special interest not only in the signatures, but in any collateral associations that might be associated with the papers.

C $600-900 212 [VENEZUELAN LIBERATION] MIRANDA, FRANCISCO de. Three proclamations, two manuscript and one printed, each in Spanish dated August 1806, the manuscripts likely in the hand of secretary Thomas Molina who has also signed the printed document in ink. The printed broadside and one manuscript both roughly 17 x 22 (43 x 55 cm), the other smaller. Folds, foxing to printed broadside, well preserved overall.

Miranda is a romantic figure: he fought in both the American and French Revolutions and in 1805 travelled to the United States to enlist volunteers for an expedition to liberate Venezuela from Spanish rule. In the month of these proclamations, August 1806, Miranda and his volunteers made landfall at Coro but was repelled by August 10th to Aruba. The manuscript proclamation here is dated from Coro on August 3rd and regards possession of that city; the second is dated August 19th and is addressed to the inhabitants of Aruba (“a government of murderers are our enemies”). The large printed broadside, likely printed in Haiti in March 1806, bears manuscript additions and amends the place and date to Coro, August 2nd, is a call for the citizens there to join him and abandon the monarchy.

Miranda later became Supreme Chief of Venezuela during Bolivar’s First Republic but after an 1812 armistice treaty with the Royalists failed, he was handed over to the Spanish and died in a prison in Spain in 1816.

213 213 [CARACAS PRINTING] [BELLO, ANDRES]. Calendario Manual y Guia Universal de Forasteros en Venezuela. Caracas: [Matthew] Gallagher & [James] Lamb, [1810]. Stitched pamphlet, likely as issued.

5 5/8 x 3 7/8 inches (14.5 x 10 cm); 56 pp. (of possible 64) being quires A-G and without quire H (see note). Title with one faint and one dark collector’s stamp, ink inscription to verso of title, the headline trimmed close with some loss of page numbers and text, old soiling and stains, a few small losses.

This is an original copy of the first book printed at Caracas.

Despite the long history of printing in Spain’s South American colonies, a proper press did not arrive in Venezuela until the Britons Matthew Gallagher and James Lamb arrived with one from Trinidad in 1808 and began publishing La Gazeta de Caracas. This small guide for outsiders was advertised in that paper in late 1809 but it was delayed several months with copies still being issued in June 1810. The delay in the publication corresponds with the first stages of the Venezuelan War of Independence, as in April 1810 the Supreme Caracas Junta forced the deposition of the Spanish Captain General Vicente Emparan and the First Republic was established.

Quire H of this book was to contain a long list of Spanish officials, which was likely excluded from the print run of later copies as the publishers swayed their position from Royalist to Republican (Emparan’s name also struck out in ink in the list of historical colonial rulers). The stitching of this copy also appears original with no evidence of detached leaves. A note accompanying this volume states that the Nunez Ponte copy also lacked these final leaves as does the copy located at the National Library of Venezuela (described as “incunables Venezolanos”). The copy listed at the British Library, while lacking several internal leaves, seems to contain the final quire and is thus likely one of the first issued (this is the only institutional holding listed on WorldCat). This copy is the only one we trace at auction, despite some records for a facsimile edition (sold Sotheby’s New York, 12 December 1991, lot 97).

Two letters to military supporters during Bolivar’s liberation of Venezuela, including a letter in which he thanks a British colonel for his sacrifice for his county on behalf of liberty.

Bolivar had liberated Angostura in July 1817, and the first document here, signed by Bolivar in 1817 and again in 1818, deals with the allocation of funds for supplies during the occupation of Caracas (this document sold Sotheby’s New York 13 June 1991, lot 16). The second is an early legal document, in which Bolivar seems to act on behalf of (and possibly provides a house for) a poor woman named Barbara Requena who has also signed.

216 216 BOLIVAR, SIMON Important early letter signed after the victory at Cúcuta. San Jose de Cúcuta: 7 April 1813. Three page letter in ink on recto and verso of one folded sheet, the text in Spanish, the letter addressed to Antonio Leleut and signed in full “Simon Bolivar,” the letter possibly in his hand but unconfirmed. 8 1/4 x 6 inches (21 x 15.5 cm); housed in a fine folding case with a quotation from the letter on the upper cover and a portrait to the inside cover. Usual folds, minor soiling, fine. A magnificent Bolivar letter written after the Battle of Cúcuta, the victory which launched the Admirable Campaign and led to the liberation of Venezuela. Having defeated the Royalists at Cúcuta in late February, Bolivar remained in the Colombian city near the Venezuelan border awaiting permission to enter from the leadership of the United Provinces of New Granada. Here he writes to Leleut, presumably a person of influence in the fledgling government (in translation): “you already know of my marches to this point and the gains I have made over my enemy ... I have had the satisfaction of receiving good news from Venezuela and learning that in my country the love of liberty has not been extinguished by the hate of tyrants.” Bolivar continues with intelligence of the location of the enemy on the border and provides intelligence from Caracas that “The patriots have revolted and forced Monteverde to flee to Guiana with only 50 of his guards. But before he left it is said that this tyrant had more than one hundred patriots shot, innocent victims of liberty whose blood cries for vengeance.” Bolivar urges Leleut to produce the reinforcements needed for the march into Venezuela and encourages him to use his influence so that he may liberate his home country, closing with the remarkable sentiment: “What huge glory awaits if we obtain the victory against the tyrants who are keeping my beautiful country under the cloak of suffering and have buried our brothers alive in the horrible prisons of Puerto Cabello and La Guayra ... we shall triumph ... and a hundred thousand monsters will devour them...” In the months that followed, Bolivar liberated Venezuela, entering Caracas in August 1813. This letter is apparently unpublished and is not found in Lecuna’s Cartas de Libertador. This is also the earliest letter of Bolivar we trace at auction in decades. Naturally, letters from this nascent period, before Bolivar was known as El Libertador are of the utmost rarity.

219 BOLIVAR, SIMON Letter signed to Jayme Hamilton inviting him the Angostura Congress. Angostura: 14 February 1819. One page letter in Spanish signed “Bolivar,” addressed to Jayme (James) Hamilton, with integral blank, the verso and the integral blank with an English translation of Bolivar’s letter and a copy of Hamilton’s return letter, these presumably in Hamilton’s hand. 9 3/8 x 7 inches (24 x 18.5 cm). Remnants of mounting to verso, folds, spotting and small stains.

This letter to Hamilton is an invitation to participate in the Congress of Angostura, Venezuela’s second legislative congress (the first was 1811), and Bolivar writes (in translation:) “So august a ceremony will receive an additional solemnity ... if you would be pleased to give proof of the interest you take in the happiness of Venezuela.” This letter sold Sotheby’s London, 20 November 1990, lot 376.

Por el Excmo. Senor Gefe Supremo y Capitan-General Simon Bolivar, en la Capital de la Provincia de la Guayana, el dia 15 de Febrero de 1819.

Angostura: Andres Roderick, [18 February] 1819. First edition. Finely bound in modern full burgundy morocco, the cover stamped in gilt. 14 1/2 x 10 inches (37.5 x 26 cm); 7 pp., an uncut copy A few spots and small stains to title and margins, unobtrusive old crease where once folded horizontally.

The First National Congress of Venezuela was attempted in 1811 but was dissolved with the fall of the First Republic. It would take Bolivar until 1817 to occupy the city of Angostura (now Ciudad Bolivar) and the Congress of Angostura was initiated while the wars to liberate Venezuela and Nueva Granada (Colombia) were still being waged (the delegates from Colombia were apparently chosed from exiles fighting among the Venezuelan patriots). The resolves of the Congress held until the Constitution of Cúcuta formed the nation of Gran Colombia in 1821 (see lot 225).

This rare act installed the congress and the proceedings at Angostura are a major event in the liberation movement and Bolivar gave several of his most influential speeches there (see the letter from Bolivar to James Hamilton in this section for an elegant invitation to the ceremony).

Both 2 page letters on recto and verso of one sheet of “Simon Bolivar, Presidente de la Republica” stationery, each signed on the verso “Bolivar.” 11 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches (30 x 19.5 cm).

The text of both somewhat faded, both archivally matted.

In these two letters, Bolivar passionately seeks out much needed capital to pay the foreign riflemen hired to defeat the Spanish at the Battle of Boyaca and to raise funds for the upcoming campaign which finally liberated Venezuela. Restrepo (the noted participant and historian of the revolution) is instructed to use his influence and authority obtain these crucial funds.

This work prints the correspondence between Bolivar and the final Royalist governors Morillo, who left Venezuela in 1820, and de la Torre, who was removed from office after the loss to Bolivar in the Battle of Carabobo on 24 June 1821, effectively ending Spanish control of Venezuela.

C $800-1,200 223 SAN MARTIN, JOSE DE (General) Two page autograph letter in Spanish in cypher, signed (“Jose de S. Martin”), written in brown ink on laid paper, addressed to General José de la Mar, the Peruvian military leader and politician, dated 1822; accompanied by a sheet with a copy of a cypher key dated May 3, 1822, also signed by Martinez. Two sheets in total, the largest roughly 11 3/4 x 8 inches (30 x 20 cm).

Oval ink authentication stamp on each page, a few minor restorations.

An important letter written in cypher in which General San Martin y Mattoras, the Argentine general, Protector of Peru, and the principal leader of the southern part of South America’s struggle for independence from the Spanish Empire, expresses a surprisingly disparaging view of Simon Bolivar. The text shows considerable distrust of Bolivar’s motives, and indeed San Martin states that he considers him an enemy of the freedom movement, and he goes on to express his recommendations to block Bolivar’s initiatives. Written shortly before the Battle of Pichincha (1822), 24 May 1822, and the Guyaquil Conference with Bolivar of the 26 July, this letter shows something of the tensions that lay beneath the freedom movement. Shortly after the Guyaquil conference, San Martin resigned as Protector of Peru, and returned to Valparaiso, where he had little further influence on the Spanish American wars of independence.

Single page document signed “José A. Páez,” written in brown ink on laid paper with a watermark of an anchor lettered “D. ANDREU,” addressed to the inhabitants of Puerto Cabello, Venezuela. 12 x 17 inches (31 x 42.5 cm). Remnants of original posting adhesive to corners, a few spots, a six inch tear up from the bottom left margin just touching text possibly from its rough removal after posting. The inhabitants of Puerto Cabello, the final Royalist stronghold in Venezuela, had resisted two earlier sieges by Simon Bolivar in 1813 and 1814. The city was heavily fortified and was a strategically valuable port (during the War of Jenkins’ Ear it had repelled two English invasions). During the 1822 third siege of the city by José Antonio Páez, the war-hardened General in Chief of the liberation forces in Venezuela, the present proclamation was issued, urging the Royalists to surrender and offering a general amnesty and the inducement of joining the rest of free Venezuela (“la gran familia Colombiana”). The offer was denied and Puerto Cabello finally capitulated only on November 10, 1823. This document sold Sotheby’s London, 20 November, 1990, lot 530.

225 [GRAN COLOMBIA] Constitucion de la Republica de Colombia. Caracas: Reimpresa con permiso superior por Juan Gutierrez, 1822. First edition. Modern three-quarters leather over cloth boards. 8 x 5 1/4 inches (20.5 x 14 cm); with printed wrapper, viii, title, 40 pp., lower wrapper. Worming affecting wrapper, upper margin and the text of the preliminary leaves as well as the rear wrapper and final text leaves, the wrappers toned and the header of the front wrapper marked “1821” in ink in an early hand.

This is one of the earliest issues of the constitution of “Gran Colombia,” which comprised a huge portion of South America including Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama, northern Peru, western Guyana and northwest Brazil. The work is also known as the Constitution of Cúcuta for the Congress that had assembled there in August 1821 and the first issue was printed at Rosario de Cúcuta in August or September 1821 (only one copy recorded at British Library and none at auction). The decree in this volume prints the order to reprint the constitution at Bogota in two or three thousand copies (dated November 1821) and to print one thousand copies of this Caracas edition (dated December 1821). The Bogota printing was included in a larger compilation of laws and survives in higher numbers as its print run was two to three times greater than this edition.

Sabin, acknowledged that this separate Caracas edition was “very rare” and we trace only the Harvard University copy and none at auction. This constitutionheld until the 1831 dissolution of Gran Colombia.

J. de Sucre”), written in brown ink on laid paper, addressed “A su Excelencia el General Bolivar” i.e. Simon Bolivar, dated Huamanga, 18 December, 1824. Seven sheets in total, each roughly 12 1/8 x 8 1/2 inches (31 x 21.5 cm).

Oval ink authentication stamp on each page, on the blank versos of margins where possible, the 11 December letters and maps with small file holes in the right or upper margins, a few minor restorations.

A group of dispatches in which Sucre, as the Grand Marshal of Ayacucho, reports on the decisive victory that signaled the end of the Spanish American Wars of Independence. Written just two days after the Battle of Ayacucho, which was fought on the 9th of December, the letters report the decisive defeat of the Spanish forces in Peru, the wounding and capture of the Viceroy José de la Serna, and give an enthusiastic, even ecstatic account of the victory. The accompanying maps, which provide an indispensable account of the disposition of the opposing forces before and after the Battle, were drawn by Don Cortegano, a captain of the First Peruvian Battalion, which fought vigorously in the battle. These, labeled Croquis No. 1 and Croquis No. 2, inscribed to General Santander at the head, are precise and detailed, whereas Sucre’s prose is often deeply emotional and laden with pride in the accomplishments of his forces: he states that the drawings “will serve as a memorial to the glorious five month campaign that has culminated in the absolute independence of America and the end of Spanish power in the land of Christopher Columbus.” The letter from Sucre to Bolivar, written ten days after the battle, describes the measures that Sucre recommends to stabilize the newly liberated territories.

Sixteen letters in total, various sizes to 12 x 8 1/2 inches (31 x 21 cm). The Bolivar letter badly worn and brittle with losses, the balance in generally sound condition, occasional minor defects.

The cornerstone of this collection of letters and documents is a remarkable group of correspondence between Sucre and O’Connor, consisting (for the group dated 1825) largely of dispatches pertaining to the furtherance of the liberation campaign of Alto Peru (now Bolivia). This includes (for example) instructions for the behavior of the troops, ordering the application of the most severe penalties for officers and soldiers who commit any harm or offense against the civilian population, as well as a host of other specifics. This is a remarkable archive pertaining to Sucre’s role in the foundation of Bolivia, with ancillary documents pertaining to some of the other participants.

A remarkable document addressed to the President of the General Assembly of Alto Peru, soon to be rechristened Bolivia, in which Bolivar notes the worthiness of the sons of La Plata and La Paz who have chosen to make use of their rights rather than being “submerged in the abyss of slavery.” Bolivar goes on to note that while the Alto Peruvians are the last in America to enter “la dulce movimiento de la libertad” begun seventeen years earlier, they were the first to know the glory of Ayacucho. He writes (in translation:) “I am extraordinarily honored ... to give protection to a whole people, and to serve as a guide ... The goodness of the Assembly humbles me, I will be employed entirely in the service of Alto Peru: because I can not outwit [burlar] the confidence a generous people who think me worthy of it. Alto Peru must have my sword and my heart; I do not have more to offer.” La Plata was shortly thereafter renamed for Sucre, the General who had won the battle and days later the country was named Bolivia in honor of El Libertador. Bolivar arrived in La Paz a few days after this letter and remained in Bolivia until the end of 1826. This letter sold Sotheby’s London, 20 November 1990, lot 378.

Bolivar’s injunction is for the work to be printed and circulated.

G. Espinoza in Education and the State in Modern Peru 2013 notes “Dr. Antonio Gonzalez, author of a political catechism officially sponsored by General Simon Bolivar, considered elementary instruction the most necessary because it provided the foundation for the principles of a good political and moral education, provided knowledge to the largest amount of people, and was the basis for later acquisition of a greater scientific knowledge.”

Four page letter in Spanish on one folded sheet, signed “Bolivar.” 10 x 8 inches (26 x 21 cm). Some professional restoration to folds, archivally matted, some dust soiling, the text lightly faded. Bolivar expresses frustration over the limitations of his power on the eve of the Ocaña Convention, writing (in translation:) “I am not able to improve matters because it is not within my power to do so. I cannot exceed the limitations imposed by the Constitution to which I must conform. I may not alter the laws which complicate our system, and lastly, I cannot act like a God...” Desperate to find funds to support the nation, Bolivar deals harshly with some mining contractors before delving into the possible outcomes of the convention at Ocaña: “The grand convention is about to begin ... You expect great things from it, whereas I don’t know what to expect. In Caracas there is talk of Federation and no one knows whether or not the South will favor it. The one sure thing is that I regard it impossible to achieve stability ... If the country is divided, it is lost. Should the convention vote for vague and weak laws, like all laws of a very liberal government, then this part of the world will have to endure all the hardships of a land without a government ... In short, Colombia, and all America are, in our time, lost nations...” The convention did go against Bolivar who in turn proclaimed himself dictator with the Decreto Organico on August 27, 1828 (see next lot).

Just ten days before his death of tuberculosis in the seaside town of Santa Marta on the Colombian coast, Bolivar writes to Urdaneta, the Provisional President of Colombia and a staunch Bolivar supporter since the Admiral Campaign, urging him to put political differences aside with General Justo Briceño and ordering him to pursue the assassins of Sucre (his assassination on June 4, 1830 was a major factor in the collapse of Gran Colombia). He also reports on his failing health and this long, important letter closes with a postscript in Bolivar’s hand (in translation): “Do not believe a thing they say about me. I disapprove of Briceño’s conduct more strongly than you do, and whatever I write to him is to see whether I can hold him in check.” A few days later, knowing his end was near, Bolivar wrote to Briceño also urging reconciliation with Urdaneta. Bolivar died on 17 December 1830. This letter sold Christie’s New York, 5 December 1991, lot 15. Published in Lecuna, Vicente. Cartas del Libertador, Tome IX, Caracas, 1929, p. 40.

Comprising Juramento de la Constitucion del Estado que el Arzobispo de Caracas Presta en Manos del Sr. Gobernador de la Provincia en su Despacho hoy 7 de Noviembre de 1830. [Caracas: 1830]. First edition. Morocco backed boards. 7 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches (20 x 14 cm); 8 pp., caption titled, likely as issued without general title as the work is bound between two original blanks. A contemporary note to first leaf regards the verification of the oath, spotting; Instruccion Pastoral que El Arzobispo de Caracas Dirige a sus Diocesanos. Caracas: A. Damiron, 1836. First edition. Contemporary three-quarters tan morocco gilt. 8 3/4 x 6 inches (22.5 x 16 cm); 14 pp. with a large printed seal on last page, retains blank leaf at end, uncut. Spotting to extremities, manuscript note reading “Payment of tithes” to title.

Ramon Ignacio Mendez, the Archbishop of Caracas, was also a member of the first Congress of Caracas and a signer of the Venezuelan Declaration of Independence after the dissolution of Gran Colombia. The first work is the oath meant to be read upon the new constitution of Venezuela in 1830 but, as the note to the title suggests, it is unknown if this oath was actually used as Mendez was exiled for two years around this time. The second tract is written as a letter regarding a reformation of the payment of tithes. Mendez was again exiled for writing this tract and the work suppressed. These titles are rare: WorldCat reports two copies of the first work and we find no reference in Sabin or Palau. The second work is Palau 120533, and this copy was sold Sotheby’s London, 23 June 1988, lot 132.

Music & General Autographs 245 [MOZART, WOLFGANG AMADEUS] Leopold Mozart, Pere de Marianne Mozart, Virtuose âgée de onze ans et de J.G. Wolfgang Mozart, Compositeur et Maitre de Musique âgé de sept ans. [Paris]: 1764.

Engraved portrait of the young Mozart, his father and sister, engraved by Delafosse after Carmontelle. Engraving 14 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches (37 x 22 cm) within platemark, overall sheet size 17 x 11 1/2 cm (43 x 29 cm), on a single sheet of thick laid paper retaining the deckle. Some lightstain to the engraving, minor foxing in the sky area, the verso somewhat browned with traces of old mounts, with an indistinct early name at center in ink (with some minimal show-through to the engraved surface) and a neat notation in French at the head of the reverse indicating purchase on the 10th August, 1765 at Dunkirk.

This very rare (and iconic) engraving shows the seven-year-old Wolfgang seated at the harpsichord, his father Leopold standing behind him, playing the violin, and his sister Maria Anna (‘Nannerl’) in the background singing. It is among the most famous of all musical portraits, prepared by Jean-Baptiste Delafosse (1721-1775) after the watercolor

by Louis Carrogis de Carmontelle (1717-1806). The watercolor is mentioned in Leopold Mozart’s letters as having been executed in 1763, and the engraved version was used by the family to promote the balance of their triumphal European journey of 1763-1766.

Mozart left England on the 1st August 1765, and after a short stay at Calais went on to Dunkirk, where this engraving was first purchased on the 10th, presumably part of a small stock left there. See Zigrosser The Book of Fine Prints, 1940, plate 260. With Sessler’s Bookshop, Philadelphia.

Ch. Scitivaux.” Faint trace of old mounting tape at the head, overall clean.

The sentiment “who endures little, gains little,” was frequently used by Liszt in such presentations.

Leipzig: C.F.K. Kahnt, [1873]. First edition, probably a large-paper presentation issue, an inscribed copy with a presentation by Liszt on the front pastedown to B. von Arnswald, the commandant of Wartburg Castle, dated the year of publication. Original cloth backed boards, upper cover with mounted label of blue paper. 15 x 12 inches (38 x 30 cm); title, dedication, and contents leaves, pp. 7-32, printed in chromolithography [with plate number 1690 on first page of score]. Boards somewhat worn, lacking front free endpaper, light scattered foxing throughout.

Liszt wrote these songs in honor of the marriage of the Grand Duke’s son Crown Prince Carl August to Princess Pauline, and was in attendance at their first performance at the Castle in August 1873. The present edition would appear to be a large-paper variant, with a charming title vignette of the Castle. The recipient, van Arnswald, was a painter and engraver, and the previous year Arnswald had made a drawing of Liszt at the piano.

Two pages in black ink on recto and verso of a single sheet of laid paper, dated January 8 in Weimar (no year). 8 7/8 x 5 3/4 inches (22.5 x 14 cm); headed “Vorwort” (i.e. foreword), the body of the text 23 lines, with numerous excisions and corrections. Framed in a display with an image of the first page and a photographic cabinet card of Liszt. Several marginal tears, a crease with crack just touching the text at lower left, the sheet hinged to a mount, some lightstain.

The text of an extensive encomium by Liszt of the great conductor Hans Guido von Bülow (who was married to Liszt’s daughter Cosima, who later was married to Wagner). A brief note at the head reads “(zümeinem Bülow-March).” the text begins “Seit dreizig Jahren, in der Kunst Welt, bedeutet, bethätigt and fördert Hans von Bülow...” and goes on to speak of his qualities as a “Docent, Dirigent, Kommentator” i.e. a guide, conductor and commentator. We have been unable to determine where (or indeed, if) this remarkable text by Liszt was published.

Probable first editions of the full scores (per Fuld) of the first, second and final work; a likely slightly later issue of the third.

Light wear, occasional minor toning, G. Schirmer stamp at the foot of the titles, generally a very sound set, bound without wrappers.

All but Das Rheingold conform to Fuld’s probable first edition points; that work bears the the legal notice on the verso of the title, but otherwise conforms (N.B. there is also a legal notice on the verso of the title of Die Walküre, but Fuld’s description for “possible first edition” calls for this). Though preceded by the piano-vocal scores, these are the first (or very early) appearances of the operas in their fully conceived form.

The title pages carry the dedication to Ludwig II of Bavaria.

4 1/4 x 6 7/8 inches (10 x 18 cm); [2-title], iv, 25, [1] pp., with plates 1-17, 19 (of 20 or 24), followed by approximately 12 leaves of music in manuscript (plus additional music on the blank versos of some of the plates), as well as unrelated financial notes at the rear. Binding very worn with rear cover and some added terminal leaves detached, title torn and stained, sold as is. This copy has the names of several early owners, including Ebenezer Clough (dated 1772, so likely not the Boston builder whose house still stands, though some of the financial notes at the end pertain to the making of brick so perhaps of that family).

Walter, married to Increase Mather’s daughter Sarah, died a few years after the first publication of this work in 1721. It became very popular, and was used in the New England singing schools and choirs. A high proportion of copies of all the editions are incomplete because of heavy use. This is the variant issue (undated) of the fifth edition; some copies contain 20 engraved leaves, some (a later issue) 24 leaves of music. In Matt B. Jones’s bibliographical article on the work (American Antiquarian Society, 1933) he notes that many of the copies of both issues are incomplete, though he does not mention copies with extensive manuscript additions such as this, which includes such melodies as the American Challenge. The leaves at the end of this copy were used in the 1780s for recording commercial transactions. Evans 8760.

Usual folds, slight creasing in the right margin only minimally touching the text, some nominal toning. In a double-sided frame, matted with portrait.

Addressed to the Commissioner-General for Public Affairs, Berlioz requests the use of the hall of the Conservatoire for a series of concerts. Berlioz had previously held performances at this venue (as he reminds the Intendant), and he goes on to state that it is the only such space suitable for such concerts, and suggests a time of two in the afternoon for the performances. W. J. Turner, in Berlioz: The man and his work notes this application, and states that in the event four concerts (not three as stated in the letter) were eventually performed, between the 9th of October and the 28th of December, 1834. The first concert consisted of the Symphonie Fantastique, the Roi Lear overture, two works with words by Victor Hugo, and La Belle Voyageuse.

The Beatles were featured on the Ed Sullivan Show four times - but in actuality they only performed in the studio twice to pre-record the broadcasts. Their first and third appearance on the show were filmed in February of 1964 (their second appearance was filmed at a hotel in Miami). In August of 1965 The Beatles were back in the studio to film their fourth and final live appearance on the show which aired that September. This cue sheet was signed on that August day in 1965. The Beatles were the top-billed act and performed six songs in two segments, including I Feel Fine, I’m Down, Act Naturally, Ticket To Ride, Yesterday, and Help! Also on the program that night were Cilla Black, Allen & Rossi, and Soupy Sales, whose rider calls for a “Beatles Wig.” Any signed Beatles memorabilia from their iconic appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show is extremely rare and coveted by collectors.

Provenance: These signatures were collected in person by a Television Lighting Director and Designer employed by the Ed Sullivan Show on the day of the recording and have descended in the family.

267 [SPACE - IRAN] An interesting archive of photographs and signed items commemorating the Apollo-Suyuz mission, Skylab I, II & III, and the 1976 Tehran F.A.I. Conference.

[Various places: 1972-1978]. The archive comprising: One personally assembled spiral bound album commemorating the F.A.I. conferences from 1972-78, with a special focus on Tehran 1976 (the others Paris, Dublin, Sydney, Ottawa, Baden, Rome, and Santiago). The Tehran section including inscriptions to Reno Chalian from each Apollo-Soyuz astronaut including Thomas Stafford, Deke Slayton, Vance Brand as well as the Russians (these with small ink drawings) including Kubasov, Klimluk, Sevastyanov, and Leonov, also present here are several signed photographs of Slayton and Brand, this spiral bound album also containing dozens of color and black and white photographs of the conferences, the album 14 x 10 1/2 inches (36 x 27 cm); Three color photographs inscribed on the mount, including one signed by all five members of the Apollo-Soyuz crew; one signed by the American Apollo-Soyuz astronauts; one showing Skylab II inscribed by Alan Bean; and one other showing Tehran from Skylab III; these each 11 x 14 inches (28 x 36 cm); a group of about 20 NASA issued color reproductions of photographs of the Skylab mission and Apollo-Soyuz (a few with signatures including Stafford and Brand); an Apollo-Soyuz mission patch and some other printed NASA and F.A.I. ephemera. Some minor handling wear but very well preserved overall. Provenance: Reno Ivani Chalian, a founder of the Imperial Aero Club of Iran and Iranian delegate to the F.A.I. conferences; thence by descent.

The interesting archive of Reno Ivani Chalian, an Iranian delegate to the Federation Aeronautique Internationale conferences in the mid-1970s. This was a ripe period for the F.A.I. (established 1905) and the contents of this archive celebrate the three Skylab missions as well as the diplomatic accomplishments of the Apollo-Soyuz mission, the first joint space flight between the United States and the Soviet Union. This archive contains several personalized inscriptions to Chalian from those astronauts, including a drawing of the Apollo and Soyuz spacecrafts coming together by the Russian cosmonaut P. I. Klimuk. An archive such as this is certainly uncommon in the United States after the 1979 cultural revolution.

Laval and S.F. Bradford), 1808-1814, 1825. First editions (except for volume 9). Nine volumes, uniformly bound in period red half sheep, green marbled sides, all edges yellow.

13 3/8 x 10 1/2 inches (24 x 27 cm); various paginations, with 76 hand-colored copper plate engravings by Lawson, Warnicke etc. after Wilson.; Together with BONAPARTE, CHARLES LUCIEN. American Ornithology; or the Natural History of the Birds of the United States not given by Wilson.

Philadelphia: Samuel August Mitchell (later Carey, Lea & Carey etc.), 1825-1833. Four volumes, uniformly bound in contemporary half sheep, marbled sides. 15 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches (37 x 29 cm) or larger; with 27 hand-colored copper plate engravings mostly

by Lawson after Rider. Wear to bindings of the first work, a few joints renewed, some boards scuffed, though overall a sound set; the Bonaparte rebacked retaining the original boards and leather covering. The Wilson is generally clean internally (though volume six is spotted, quite heavily, mostly to the text, though some plates are affected); there is some toning or foxing to the Bonaparte, especially the final volume, again generally sparing the plates.

Alexander Wilson’s ornithology was the first great domestically published ornithology of American birds, and one of the grandest color plate publications done in the early Republic.

The quality of the engraving and coloring is on a par with the best European works of the period. Reese remarks “This was the first American work to use color plates to convey scientific information, and the first real combination of text and color illustrations produced in the United States.” Nissen 992; Anker 533; Reese 3; Bennett 114.

With superb color plates after the original drawings of Cooper, this is a worthy successor to the work of the great 19th century ornithological illustrators. The set is rather scarce complete as the volumes appeared over an eleven-year period, and a substantial portion of the final pair were never bound. The contents are as follows: Volumes 1, 2: The Alcedinidae: Ceryle to Cittura, Halcyon to Tanysiptera.

Modern three-quarters calf, marbled sides. 17 3/4 x 12 5/8 inches (42 x 32 cm); 76 pp., with Abbey’s second title, with eighteen very fine color aquatint plates, four folding (the collation of this work is variable, and this is the norm), the folding plates with Whatman 1814 watermarks, and with a map, plate of signature facsimiles, and plate of portraits (and two plates of the French and English royal families, apparently from another copy, bound at the front). Some finger-soiling, creasing to outer edge of the plate of Moscow.

A rather rare work, which, according to Abbey, can bear two different titles, and generally has a variable plate count up to nineteen; this copy does not have the plate of Porto Ferrajo, nor the very rare third part with additional views of the locale, but can reasonably be accounted complete by Abbey’s calculus.

Bowles published an interesting series of prints showing human greed, with titles such as “‘Tis comical I know to have all this rhino” (rhino being a dated slang term for money).

Rowlandson did a number of drawings of Welsh castles while travelling with his friend Henry Wigstead for his Remarks on a Tour to North and South Wales in the Year 1797. An old reference attached to the back mat identifies the subject as Conway Castle, but a closely related drawing in the National Library of Wales now states that this is Raglan Castle (the artist depicted both).

Plates laid-down to the cartridge paper (a few sheets with some, mostly minor, foxing), all but one cut around retaining borders, but with the loss of imprint (though plate 9 retains the imprint as given above), old tear in the right margin of the first plate, just entering the image. Typically this series is found mounted much as these, c.f. Abbey.

A classic series of caricatures, quite rare in this first edition, and with a fine drawing (close enough in specifics that it may well have been the original working drawing, with the background details added in the process of etching).

296 ROWLANDSON, THOMAS Original unpublished watercolor of Death and the Highwayman, intended for the English Dance of Death, about 1815. Sepia ink and watercolor, 5 7/8 x 9 1/2 inches (15 x 24 cm), signed “Rowlandson” (l.l.). Mounted to old album leaf which is now tipped to the back mount, matted and framed. A possible small restoration in the sky at upper left, though this may be an existing defect in the paper over which Rowlandson worked; examined through a lens, there is evidence of this. The highwayman—a very unheroic figure—having murdered a young woman for some paltry possessions, (a pathetic bundle of belongings lies before her body), is seized by the hair by Death, who gestures fiercely with his dart towards a nearby gibbet, from which a body already hangs.

A powerful and compelling design, this was not used in the published book.

Drawings intended for this masterpiece of English illustration are rarely encountered. Sold with a levant folder once holding the drawing with Fitz Eugene Dixon’s bookplate; a catalogue slip within notes that it was listed for sale by the Philadelphia Print Shop in the 1980s.

Hammersmith: Doves Press, 1902. One of 325 paper copies. Full dark blue levant, with a design of strapwork, closed and open circles and oak leaves, apparently by the Doves Bindery (signed and dated 1909) but most likely one of the fake Doves bindings executed by an unknown binder in the 1930s; all edges gilt, slipcased. 9 x 6 3/8 inches (23 x 16 cm); 55, [1] pp., printed in red and black. The binding in fine condition, a trifle of marginal foxing visible intermittently throughout the text, apparently a paper flaw, endleaves marked from the turn-in as usual. Although a first-rate binding in design and execution, this conforms to the class of forged Doves bindings described by Marianne Tidcombe in appendix III to her 1991 book on the Doves Bindery. The pallet that was used for signing on the lower dentelle of the rear cover exhibits the characteristic lack of space between the “E” and “S” of “Doves,” and in Tidcombe’s list “Doves Press books in unsigned and fake Doves bindings” this appears listed as the fifth item (noted there as “not examined,” but the design described appears to match that of the present book). The circumstances under which these bindings were produced remains mysterious, but Tidcombe conjectures a date between 1936 and 1938, and suggests that they were issued unsigned but that the Doves pallet and date were added after the fact, probably by another hand. Some possibility exists that the binder (though likely not the source of the pallet) was the great finisher Charles McLeish himself. These pastiches (I use this term advisedly, as many of the designs do not appear in Cobden-Sanderson’s pattern book, but capture the essence of his designs quite admirably) are quite rare, the design and execution first rate, and they are a true bibliopegic curiosity.

307 ROSPIGLIOSI BINDING A richly tooled seventeenth-century morocco binding (only) from the Roman atelier of the Andreoli brothers.

Brown morocco over pasteboard, covers with roll-tooled border enclosing a compartment dÈcor, each compartment filled with a semis of flame, flower or leaf tools within outlines of double fillets and small dentelle rolls, a few corners terminating in volutes, large fan motifs at corners of central panel; central quadrilobular cartouche filled with the arms of an unidentified Cardinal, possibly a member of the Chigi family (probably added a bit later); the spine in seven paneled compartments decorated with fleurons and small star tools. Rome, ca. 1670-1680, housed in a modern fitted cloth case. 13 3/4 x 9 3/4 inches (35 x 24.5 cm). Binding only (no contents), lacking the fabric ties, restoration to losses in two of the compartments of the spine.

Dubbed by A. R. A. Hobson the “Rospigliosi bindery” after one of its most prominent patrons (Cardinal Giulio Rospigliosi, later Clement IX), the Roman binding shop which at its peak was led by the brothers Gregorio and Giovanni Andreoli, descendants of a prominent publishing dynasty, was active throughout the seventeenth century and into the first two decades of the eighteenth century. During its most productive period, from circa 1650 to 1690, the shop was patronized by royalty (including Queen Christina of Sweden), aristocracy and church dignitaries. It became the official Vatican bindery when Gregorio Andreoli was granted the lifetime title of bookbinder to the Vatican Library in 1665.

The present binding is typical of the Andreoli’s “compartment” style of decoration, in which geometrical compartments are filled with semis or fields of repeated small tools, with fan motifs providing variety at the four edges or sides.

The Andreolis composed variations on this style throughout their career; and Tolomei provides comparable examples from the 1630s, 1650s and 1670s. In this binding, the ornamental border roll, the tiny tear-drop or flame tools, and the stars and other small tolls used on the backstrip are reproduced on Tolomei’s plate V, the elements of the fan on his plate VI, and the volutes on plate VIII; all of these tools are securely attributed to the Andreoli shop, where they were used in bindings from the 1650s to 1680s.

Full gray morocco by BlanchetiËre, the upper cover with a design in onlaid leather in the manner of Gagnon’s illustrations, the rear with a smaller onlaid design, raised bands with onlaid design at center, all edges gilt, broad dentelles framed with rules and onlays, decorated silk endsheets, original wrappers bound in, in a chemise (slipcase lacking). [xii], 237, [1] pp., with 33 large illustrations and many vignettes by Clarence Gagnon, all in wood engraving colored in pochoir. Binding mildly toned, slight scratch to the rear cover. The limitation calls for a drawing for one of the large vignettes to be present; there is no evidence that this was ever bound-in. Bookplate of David Athanse.

Fine Bindings from the Collection of Walter Ward, Jr. Walter “Duke” Ward 1940-2015 My husband of more than fifty years was a collector of many wonderful things.

He collected everything from coins and Waterford crystal to oil paintings and art in general. He appreciated it all.

My first introduction to the book world was on a rainy Sunday evening. Duke came excitedly into my kitchen, thrilled that he was able to buy boxes of old books, wet and smelly old books! He plopped them down on the counter and had to show me everything. Thank goodness, it didn’t take long until he bought his first beautifully bound book and the love affair was on!

Over the next forty years or so, he put together a beautiful collection. He was proud and happy to show this to anyone who entered our home.

Our library shelves are now bare as I send the volumes back into the world. May they grace your home and bring you joy.

Most sincerely,

Donna Elizabeth Ward

Tipped-in at the front of the work is a document signed by Charles I in brown ink, one page on a folded sheet of paper, written in a secretarial hand and signed at the head, dated 9th November 1639 (i.e. the tenth year of his reign), addressed to “To our Trusted and well beloved/Sir William Vuedall [i.e. Udall] K.t/Clark of our Counsell in our/Court of the Starre Chamber,” regarding the operations of that body, 14 lines. Also bound-in is a fine early portrait of Charles, inlaid to size.

Minute wear to head of spine. Some foxing to the document, some minimal foxing to the book. The Doheny copy, sold Christie’s October 18, 1988, lot 1577, with the Doheny bookplates.

A magnificent binding, containing an interesting document requesting that Udall find a replacement for a Star Chamber Examiner who had died. This was during the period of Charles’s eleven-year Personal Rule in which Charles used the Court of the Star Chamber to usurp the powers and prerogatives of Parliament, which he had dismissed in March 1629. He wielded the Chamber’s powers heavy-handedly, using them to prosecute all dissent, and the discontent that ensued was one of the factors that led to his downfall and execution.

Manuscripts and Early Printed Books 385 [MANUSCRIPTS] Ten Egyptian linen manuscript fragments, most apparently portions from different copies of the Egyptian Book of the Dead (or similar funerary texts). Late or (most likely) Ptolemaic period, i.e. a probable date of about 100 BC or slightly later. All fragments mounted to two sheets of card, both dated in ink Cairo, Egypt May 1891. Most are irregular in shape, the largest 4 1/4 x 8 inches (11.5 x 20.5 cm), that example with ten lines of text (about 300 characters), with the remains of a drawing at the head (partly cut away); in all, five of the specimens bear drawings. Some browned or stained, variously (but mostly) legible, though with losses to text and illustrations due to insect damage etc. There are annotations in red ink to the card by a modern scholar (provenance on request).

According to E. Hornung The Ancient Egyptian Books of the Afterlife Cornell, 1999, demotic Books of the Dead and related mortuary texts are first noted in the late Ptolemaic period. He also notes Book of the Dead texts on linen can be found at both the early and the late phases of the Book of the Dead tradition. The illustrations in the texts are emblematic of standard mortuary spells, intended to guide the recently deceased away from perils (the circle of the sun and the fiery court, and the guardians of the gates of the hereafter) and to desirable destinations, such as the Field of Offerings, or the region of Rosetau [Giza] that contains the corpse of Osiris (whoever gazes on this cannot die). At the time these specimens were collected in the 1890s, such fragments were fairly commonplace, though now they are quite rare in commerce.

385 387 [MANUSCRIPTS-LEGAL-PALAEOGRAPHICAL SPECIMENS] A collection of leaves on vellum from manuscripts of works on Canon and Roman law, dating from approximately the 11th/12th to 14th centuries. Housed in a bookseller’s folder, now defective, retained within a later custom solander case. Approximately 21 leaves in all (including two bifolia), the largest single leaf about 16 x 10 1/2 inches (41 x 33 cm), most loose (a few fragments attached to sheets of card). Mostly binder’s waste, thus in variable condition, some severely browned and stained, other examples almost perfect. University of Michigan Law School, withdrawn circa 1950 (with stamp), originally purchased 8-17-29 from Karl Wilhelm Hiersemann, (1854 -1928), the renowned German bookseller and publisher (with small pencil note and cataloguing information mounted to inner cover of the original sleeve).

Among the specimens are (a) one described as Handelt von den inquisitors i.e. “Acts of the Inquisitors” 14th century, 41 x 33 cm; (b) An early manuscript of Poletus Historia Fori Romani restituta, which no doubt significantly precedes the first printed edition of this work on Roman legal practice, 29 x 19 cm (once part of a binding with spine impression); (c) Cutting from a Augustine’s Commentary with a large ornate red initial, from a monumental manuscript in Latin, Northern France or Low Countries, XIth-XII century, bifolium, 45 x 33 cm. The decoration of the initial is simple, perhaps Cistercian, and points towards examples from Northern France; (d) Canonical law leaf of Clement III, 45 x 35 cm; (e) Ubaldis’s Super decretalibus 50 x 38 cm with a very early commentary; the balance, various other fragments of legal manuscripts. The whole represents a remarkable opportunity to study the creation, palaeography and transmission of legal texts prior to the earliest printed editions of the works.

388 388 [MANUSCRIPT] [Book of Hours]. Paris or Tours?: intended for Southern France (based on the Calendar, which includes Maximinius of Aix and other saints associated with the region), second or third quarter of the 15th century (the final leaf bears a date, slightly worn, of 1457). Binding of the period, brown leather over wooden boards, covers stamped with alternating panels of text (indistinct, but apparently Old French) and decoration, spine simply decorated with a pattern of intersecting lines, the pastedowns (which appear to be original) utilizing an earlier manuscript. 6 5/8 x 5 inches (17 x 12 cm), with 153 vellum leaves with text in Latin (first leaf blank, but apparently part of the original work), 15 lines written in a Gothic bookhand, ruled faintly in red, textual area 3 3/4 x 2 3/4 inches (11.5 x 7.5 cm), with 4 arch-topped miniatures within borders of acanthus and leafy vines; rubrics in red; one-line initials in blue or gold with red penwork; two-line initials in gold or on red and blue grounds, the initials with decorative pen flourishing extending into the margins. Collates [a]^3 [b-i]8 [k]6 [l-m]8 [n]16 [o]8 [p]7 (with stub of extracted miniature, which would have been p3) [q-r]8 s4 t9 (the final signature apparently added at an early date; it contains the prayer Obsecro te domina sancta Maria). Boards wormed, corners of boards and edges of spine with losses, some soiling and staining throughout, some wear to the miniatures, that for the Office of the Dead smudged, one leaf torn into text.

An interesting Book of Hours, written in a heavily contracted textus quadratus. Pardulf (October 6) was venerated in Limoges, and Maximinus, the apocryphal first bishop of Aix (April 8), was venerated in that city and region, so it seems likely that this was intended for use in southern France. The text includes a Calendar (ff. 2-12, leaf 1 an integral blank); the text proper begins with the prayers for Office for Matins Domine labia mea aperies; Et os meum annunciabit laudem tuam, with a miniature of the Annunciation.

389 [MANUSCRIPT] Indenture on vellum with three attached seal tags and two (of three) seals, written in a very fine English chancery hand, dated the 23rd of November in the 32rd year of the reign of Henry VIII i.e. 1541. William Fitzwilliam, 1st Marquess of Northampton, 1st Earl of Essex and 1st Baron Parr (the brother of Katherine Parr, wife of Henry VIII) settles various manors (including Tolleshunt Magna, Tollesbury etc. of Essex) on his wife, Anne, nÈe Bourchier. Single sheet of vellum scalloped on the upper edge, folded at the foot, signed by William, Earl of Southampton, the Lord Privy Seal; Sir Anthony Browne; and Sir Thomas Wriothesley.

21 1/2 x 17 /2 inches (55 x 44 cm), approximately 52 lines, annotated in two contemporary hands on the verso. Soiling to the verso, minor creases, generally in sound condition. Apparently [Sir Thomas] Phillipps manuscript 27735, so annotated on the reverse.

Parr married Anne Bourchier, 7th Baroness Bourchier, daughter of Henry Bourchier, 2nd Earl of Essex in 1527, though (as she was ten years old at the time of marriage) they did not live together until 1539. In 1543, less than two years after this document granted her lands, he had the marriage annulled because of blatant adultery, and he seized all of her lands and titles (and was thereby being created Earl of Essex). His sister Catherine was the last of the wives of Henry VIII. Uncle to Edward VI, who was crowned at the age of nine, Parr was the young king’s foremost advisor (a position of enormous power) until the latter’s death at the age of fifteen. Under Mary I he was briefly imprisoned in the Tower on a charge of high treason, for his attempt to put Lady Jane Gray on the throne after Edward’s death. After Mary’s execution and Elizabeth’s accession he enjoyed renewed court favor. He died in 1571, and was buried (as a Knight of the Garter) at the expense of Queen Elizabeth, who bore the expense of the funeral.

Modern brown cloth. 11 x 8 inches (27.5 x 20 cm); 8 ff., 38 lines, with an elaborate initial in blue with marginal linework, three-line Lombardic initials in red and blue in alternation, paragraph marks in red and blue. Some marginal reinforcement, minor soiling, overall a small marginal restoration to the first leaf, but overall a clean copy of a rare work.

An early edition of of the discussion by Turrecremata (Juan de Torquemada, 1388-1468) of the origin of the custom of using Holy Water in church ceremonies.

It includes an account of its healing powers (against sterility in particular) and therefore has some minor claim to be a medical work.

Ibarra’s remarkable edition of Don Quixote was widely acknowledged throughout Europe as a typographic masterpiece, and English bibliophiles adopted it as an example of fine typography on a par with that of Baskerville’s. Thus it makes a good deal of sense for the binding to be English work, which this certainly appears to be; very similar bindings can be found on copies of Baskerville’s larger works. A magnificent edition, this lavishly illustrated edition of Don Quixote was based on the 1605 second edition, which at this time was considered the first.

Some corners slightly bruised or rubbed, some rubbing to joints, mild adhesions to the back cover of the first volume, spines toned. Some very occasional minor foxing or toning, in all a rather fresh set. With an armorial bookplate in the first volume, no name but the motto “Tutte si recte vixeris”.

Ibarra’s opus, this lavishly illustrated edition of Don Quixote was based on the 1605 second edition, which at this time was considered the first. The edition was printed using a specially designed type on paper especially made in Catalonia. Palau described the work as “Magnifica edicion y superior en belleza artistica a todas las que hasta entonces se habian hecho en Espana y en el extranjero.”

Rendell Gallery Inc. Of Johnson’s dictionary, an epic accomplishment, Noah Webster wrote “Johnson’s writings had, in the field of philology, the effect which Newton’s had on mathematics” (see Printing and the Mind of Man, 201).

Both volumes with the stamp of the Moral Science Library.

The first edition in English, translated from the third German edition by Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling, edited by Engels. Das Kapital is a classic work in the history of economics, especially value and monetary theory, and contains Marx’s important theories on the concept of surplus value. As PMM notes, “it was in fact the summation of his quarter of a century’s economic study, mostly in the reading room of the British Museum.” Marx’s analysis of capitalism as exploitation saw the roots of the industrial system as being rooted in the slavery of antiquity, and his appeal for a classless society was fundamentally revolutionary.

421 BROWNING, ELIZABETH BARRETT Poems. London: Chapman & Hall, 1850. “New edition” [i.e. second collection of her poems], with the usual second state title with the corrected address— includes the first edition of the Sonnets from the Portuguese, which appeared without fanfare as pp. 428-480 in the second volume; as well as a number of other previously unpublished pieces. Two volumes, 20th century red morocco, decorative paper sides, top edges gilt. 6 1/2 x 4 1/8 inches (17 x 10 cm); xii, 362, [1] pp.; viii, 480 pp. Light binding wear, internally a clean copy, though lacking half-titles and terminal blanks.

Written between 1845-46, the forty-four sonnets in the Portuguese sequence were not separately published until this 1850 edition of her poems (the suppositious 1847 Reading edition is, of course, a Thomas J. Wise forgery of about 1890). Robert Browning (for whom they were written) urged her to publish them, although she initially felt them too personal for that. Taken as a sequence, they are among the finest essays in the sonnet form in the English language, with works such as sonnet 42 “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways” now durably ensconced in the literary pantheon. Barnes A6.

Original cloth backed marbled boards. 7 1/2 x 5 inches (19.5 x 13 cm); 58 pp. Boards rubbed, the spine faded, some light spotting and toning, the rear blank and pastedown with pencil notes and a small drawing.

An exceedingly rare inscribed copy of Hart Crane’s White Buildings, one of approximately 500 copies of the first edition of his first book. The book is inscribed to Marcia and Russell Wheeler Davenport, members of Crane’s literary circle. The book was likely inscribed after Marcia and Russell were married in 1929 and Russell, a novelist, joined the editorial staff of Fortune magazine, where Crane worked for a short time in 1930 (in The Broken Tower: A Life of Hart Crane, Paul Mariani records Crane’s reading of Davenport’s 1929 novel Through Traffic). Marcia Davenport had been a staff writer at The New Yorker from 1927 and in 1932 published the first major American biography of Mozart. Crane killed himself in April 1932 by throwing himself off a boat into the Gulf of Mexico thus inscribed copies of his books, particularly to contemporary writers, are quite scarce.

Original buckram with gray endpapers, the upper cover with a hand-colored lithographed label depicting a cat and lettered with the title and author. 9 x 5 7/8 inches (22.5 x 18 cm); tipped-in limitation leaf, followed by 17 offset lithographs by Warhol on Arches paper, each hand-colored with the bright washes of Dr. Martin’s aniline watercolor dyes. The cover lithograph completes the count of 18. The cover illustration toned and with small losses and creases to edges not affecting the image or text, the buckram darkened and with a short split to the spine at foot and a few marks on the lower cover, the limitation leaf toned at extremities and with a few chips, the plates all quite clean overall, a few creased at the lower corner, a few spots to the last print.

25 Cats Name[d] Sam and One Blue Pussy is an ephemeral work created in the early years of Warhol’s career as a graphic artist in New York City. The work lists Charles Lisanby as its author although there is no text, and the cat theme may be credited to Warhol’s mother Julia, who had moved to New York to be near Andy and provided the calligraphy. Julia and Andy were known to have many cats, all but one named Sam, and Julia was known for her whimsical cat drawings. The coloring of the lithographs was done at “coloring parties” with Warhol’s friends, a precursor the collective approach that characterized much of his career, and the book was typically gifted by Warhol to friends and colleagues. Among the most significant American artist books of the period, these Cats are now ubiquitous Warhol images and a facsimile edition was issued by Random House in 1987.

A SAVILLS INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATE

CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. BINDING TERMS The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Doyle New York as owner or as agent for consignor subject to the following terms and conditions.

Where Doyle is agent, the contract is between seller and buyer. The following Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee constitute the entire agreement with the purchaser relative to the property listed in this catalogue. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms:

2. AS IS All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Doyle New York nor its consignor makes any warranties or representations, express or implied, with respect to such lots, except for the limited warranties expressly stated in the Terms of Guarantee section of this catalogue. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the auction takes place, to determine its condition, size, and whether or not it has been repaired or restored.

Except as otherwise expressly and specifically provided in the Terms of Guarantee, neither Doyle New York nor its consignor makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging; nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. References in the catalogue entry or the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative.

The Terms of Guarantee are controlling, and no statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in this catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. All statements by Doyle New York in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statements of fact.

Except as stated in the Terms of Guarantee, neither Doyle New York nor the seller is responsible in any way for errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry.

Doyle New York and its consignor make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Doyle New York expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in this catalogue.

The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Doyle New York relating to a lot, including the contents of this catalogue, is, and shall remain at all times, the property of Doyle New York and shall not be used by the buyer, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent.

3. WITHDRAWAL Doyle New York reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time prior to the commencement of bidding for such lot and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.

4. RESERVES If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is below the value of the lot offered, the auctioneer may reject that bid and withdraw the lot from sale; and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, he decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he may reject that advance.

Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold.

No reserve will exceed the low estimate of the lot.

Reserves are agreed upon with the consignor or, in the absence thereof, in the absolute discretion of Doyle New York.

Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue.

Lots marked C preceding the estimate are consigned and reserved. Those marked • are reserved property in which Doyle New York has an interest.

Doyle New York on occasion makes loans or advances funds to consignors.

The auctioneer may implement the reserve by opening bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the seller.

The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve, by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Unless otherwise noted in the catalogue or by an announcement at the auction, Doyle New York acts as agent on behalf of the seller and does not permit the seller to bid on his or her own property.

5. ESTIMATES Each lot in the catalogue is given a low and high estimate representing that range which, in the opinion of Doyle New York, represents a fair and probable auction value. When possible, the estimate is based on previous auction records of comparable property, condition, rarity, quality and provenances.

The estimates are often determined several months before a sale and are therefore subject to change upon further research of the property, or to reflect market conditions or currency fluctuations.

Estimates are subject to revision. Actual prices realized for items can fall below or above this range. An estimate of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which

the item will sell or its value for any other purpose.

Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium.

Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact the Specialist Department for further information.

6. BIDDING Doyle New York reserves the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid, as well as the right to refuse to acknowledge any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. The auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, and to combine any two or more lots. In the event of error or dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on our part as to the validity of any bid, whether during or after the sale, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale, or to reoffer and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Doyle New York sale record shall be conclusive.

7. PURCHASER’S RESPONSIBILITY Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder, subject to the conditions of sale set forth herein. Such bidder there upon assumes full risk and responsibility there for (including, without limitation, liability for or damage to frames and glass covering prints, paintings or other works). Although in our discretion we will execute orders or absentee bids or accept telephone bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at auctions, we are not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith.

When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price as follows, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Doyle New York before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Doyle New York, and that Doyle New York will look only to the principal for payment: The total purchase price to be paid by purchaser is the amount of the successful bid price plus a premium of 25% on the first $200,000 of the hammer price, 20% on the portion from $200,001 through $3,000,000, and 12% on that portion of the hammer price exceeding $2,000,000.

Payment shall be made as follows: Successful buyers using live internet bidding (BidLive!) will be responsible for a fee equal to two percent (2%) of the final hammer price.

A cash deposit of not less than 25% of the purchase price (unless the whole purchase price is required at the sole discretion of Doyle New York) will be paid on the day of the auction. Deposits shall apply to all purchases made at this sale and not to any one particular lot.

TERMS OF GUARANTEE Doyle New York warrants the authenticity of authorship of each lot contained in this catalogue solely and expressly subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

1. DEFINITION OF AUTHORSHIP “Authorship” is defined as the artist, artisan, workshop, designer, school, period, culture, or source of origin, as applicable and indicated in the description of the lot. The warranted information appears in bold print immediately following the individual lot number; no other language in the catalogue is warranted, including any supplemental material which appears below the bold print headings. Doyle New York is not responsible for any errors or omissions in any material, which appears below the bold print headings. The description of authorship in this catalogue may be amended by a supplement to the catalogue, or by notices or announcements at the time and place of the auction sale.

This catalogue may contain one or more glossaries explaining the terminology used in the catalogue.

All terminology used in this catalogue, including the contents of the glossaries, are merely qualified statements or opinions and are not intended or made as warranted statements or representations under these Terms of Guarantee. Doyle New York makes no warranties whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to any material in the catalogue, except as set forth in bold print headings following individual lot numbers in this catalogue and subject to the exclusions set forth below.

2. COVERAGE UNDER THE GUARANTEE Subject to the exclusions set forth below in paragraphs 5 and 6, Doyle New York warrants the authorship (as that term is defined above) of each lot in this catalogue for a period of five years from the date of the sale of the lot.

The guarantee is made only to the original purchaser of record at the auction, and only the registered bidder for the lot at the auction will be considered as the original purchaser. The buyer must give written notice of claim within five years from the date of the auction. Doyle New York may require, at its option, to have the purchaser obtain at the purchaser’s expense the opinion of two recognized experts (approved by Doyle New York) in the field relating to the item in question, before Doyle New York determines whether to rescind a sale under the above warranty. Upon request, Doyle New York will provide the purchaser with the names of acceptable experts.

3. NON-ASSIGNABILITY The benefits of this warranty are not assignable and shall be applicable only to the original purchaser of record (i.e., the registered bidder) and not to any subsequent owners (including, without limitation, donees, heirs, successors, beneficiaries or assigns) who have, or may acquire, an interest in any purchased property. The original buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party.

4. SOLE REMEDY The purchaser agrees that in the case of a breach of warranty under these Terms of Guarantee, he shall have no remedy other than rescission of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid.

The original purchase price paid is defined as the amount of the successful bid price, plus the buyer’s premium. No rescission and refund will be made unless the item is returned to Doyle New York at 175 East 87th Street, New York, NY 10128, in the same condition as at the time of sale. The remedy of rescission and refund is exclusive and the purchaser waives any other remedy which may be otherwise available in law or equity. Doyle New York shall not be liable for any special, consequential or incidental damages incurred or claimed including, without limitation, loss of profits or for interest.

5. EXCLUSIONS This warranty does not apply to: i. authorship of any paintings, drawings or sculpture created prior to 1870, unless the lot is determined to be a counterfeit which has a value at the date of the claim for rescission which is materially less than the purchase price paid for the lot; or ii. any catalogue description where it was specifically mentioned that there is a conflict of specialist opinion on the authorship of a lot; or iii. authorship which on the date of sale was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and specialists, despite the subsequent discovery of new information, whether historical or physical, concerning the artist or craftsman, his students, school, workshop or followers; or iv. the identification of periods or dates of execution which may be proven inaccurate by means of scientific processes not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue, or which were unreasonably expensive or impractical to use at the time of publication of the catalogue.

The term counterfeit is defined as a modern fake or forgery, made less than fifty years ago, and made with the intent to deceive. The authenticity of signatures, monograms, initials or other similar indications of authorship is expressly excluded as a controlling factor in determining whether a work is a counterfeit under the meaning of this Terms of Warranty.

6. LIMITED WARRANTY As stated in paragraph 2 of the Conditions of Sale, neither Doyle New York nor its consignor makes any express or implied representations or warranties whatsoever concerning any property in the catalogue, including without limitation, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, except as specifically and expressly provided in these Terms of Guarantee.
