As we head into the last few months of the year, it seems appropriate to take a moment for reflection. This has been a banner year here at Eldred’s. We hosted our first annual auction on Nantucket in July, our Marine Sales continue to pace the scrimshaw and marine art markets, we’ve made two trips to the West Coast and countless up and down the East Coast to collect consignments, our gallery in Mystic, Connecticut continues to flourish, and we’ve sold nearly 8,000 lots (so far!) across an increasingly diverse range of collecting categories. Some of the year’s highlights reflect this diversity -- a historically significant scrimshaw whale’s tooth by William A. Gilpin, paintings by George Inness, Alexandre Yakovlev and John Mecray, sculptures by Ruth Asawa and Evgenii Lanceray, a woodblock print by Blanche Lazzell, a carved snowy egret by A.E. Crowell, and a copy of the Articles of Confederation. It also seems appropriate to take a moment express our gratitude for our clients. We would not have had theses successes without you, and we are thankful for your continued patronage and support of Eldred’s. We wish you a very happy holiday season, and we look forward to seeing you at the auction. Joshua Eldred President

H.F. WALLING MAP OF NANTUCKET, MARTHA’S VINEYARD AND CAPE COD New York, 1858 “Map of the Counties of Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket Massachusetts”. A very scarce and richly informative wall map. Depicts Nantucket, Edgartown, West Tisbury and Homes Hole (today Vineyard Haven) on Martha’s Vineyard, and Chatham, Wellfleet, Provincetown, Hyannis, Truro Village and other locations on Cape Cod. Includes 40 inset maps and historic information such as business listings and locations of early industries, names of residents and the locations of their homes, early rail lines and roads, and early topographic and shoreline features. Seven vignettes about the perimeter, including two of Provincetown as seen in 1620 and 1858 and one of the Pacific Bank on Nantucket. Original rollers. Attractive original color, refreshed. Remounted on new linen and fully conserved. Approx. 60” x 56”. 7,000/9,000
As Joseph Garver noted in Surveying the Shore: Historic Maps of Coastal Massachusetts, 1600-1930, p. 102-103, “Walling aimed for a comprehensive, almost encyclopedic overview of these three counties and their principal population centers.” The map remains a valuable source of historic records, and the inset maps describe many communities in detail for the first time. “The map of the town of Nantucket, for instance, depicts a dense cluster of streets and properties and, in the immediate vicinity of the harbor, numerous candle manufacturers and oil sheds, boat shops, a bank, an inn, a bakery, the customhouse, a bowling alley and an abattoir- in fact, everything that he properly appointed port should contain in a compact space,” Garver said. A possible reason for the scarcity of the map is the relatively small population of this area at the time would have resulted in a small print run to begin with.

(hereinafter referred to as Eldred’s) has exercised reasonable care to catalog and describe correctly the property to be sold, but neither Eldred’s nor its consignors warrant the correctness of description, attribution, authenticity, or condition of said property. No statements shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability with respect thereto, but are to be construed as opinions only. Bidders are encouraged to personally examine all property to be sold prior to the beginning of the auction. 2. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered. 3. Eldred’s reserves the right to withdraw any property before the sale. 4. DETERMINATION OF HIGHEST BIDDER: The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer may determine who is the successful bidder or the auctioneer may re-offer the article in dispute and his decision shall be final. 5. REJECTION OF BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any nominal raise or any bid or raise which, in his opinion, is not commensurate with the value of the article being offered. At his discretion, he may also reject any nominal raise or any bid that he may determine as having a detrimental effect on the item in question or the sale as a whole. Eldred’s may refuse to issue bidding privileges to any person not in good credit standing with Eldred’s, or to any person who is deemed by Eldred’s in its sole discretion, to be disruptive of or harmful to established auction practices, either before or after the acceptance of bids or the fall of the hammer. 6. TITLE: Except as herein otherwise provided, title will pass to the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer, and the property is thereafter at the purchaser’s sole risk and responsibility. 7. PAYMENT: On title passing to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, and subject to all the conditions set forth herein, such bidder will thereupon pay the full purchase price. Payment in full is due at the time of sale. Any bills not paid in full within 25 days of the date of the sale will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month. In addition, the purchaser may be subject to one or more of the following actions: a) Any and all legal remedies available to Eldred’s and its consignors by law including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price; b) Immediate cancellation of the sale, with Eldred’s retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser; c) Resale of the property at public auction, wherein the original purchaser shall be liable for any deficiency, costs, and Eldred’s commission on both sales. At Eldred’s option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until Eldred’s has collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, their authenticity has been confirmed. A buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. 8. ORDER BIDS: Subject to these Conditions of Sale and to such terms and conditions as it may prescribe, but at no charge to the customer, Eldred’s will undertake to execute all order bids submitted to it by a customer who has established credit with said company.

TELEPHONE BIDS: While the sale is in progress, bidding by telephone may be allowed by the auctioneer at his discretion. A deposit of 10% of the anticipated top bid is required.

Any advice or opinions provided by Eldred’s or its employees are given strictly as a courtesy and are not a warrant of condition, attribution, authenticity, or description of said property. All bidding by telephone is solely at the risk of the bidder. 9. CONDITION: If for any cause whatsoever any article sold cannot be delivered, or cannot be delivered in as good condition as the same may have been at the time of sale, due to a failure or damage on the company’s part, the sale will be cancelled, and any amount that may have been paid on account of the sale will be returned to the purchaser.

All bids should be received prior to the day of the sale. Submitting your bids in a timely manner avoids the chance of a posting error. In the event of identical bids, the earliest received by Eldred’s will take precedence. All bids are kept in strict confidence.

On the day of the auction, a member of our staff will act as your agent and bid for you, attempting to obtain the lot(s) for you for the lowest possible amount.
