[Art] Freud, Lucian Typed Letter, signed London: September 10, 1975. 1p. 4to. On the letterhead of British art dealer Anthony d’Offay. From Freud to Victoria Donohoe (likely relating to her role as Art Director for the 41st. Eucharistic Congress): “... Although a request to paint the Pope could be a grand and serious challenge...for me the project holds no attraction and little interest. The reason is this: I am in the middle, and always will be in the middle, of working slowly from a small number of people who I know, who interest me, and who play a part in my life. Limiting as this doubtless is, it would be frivolous nevertheless to depart from my chosen subject matter. Also, it is most unlikely that I should be able to produce something of even small artistic interest, working from a man I do not know, under alien conditions. Yours Sincerely, Lucian Freud.” Accompanied with original typed address air mail postal envelope, as well as a typed postcard to Donohoe addressing this matter signed by Anthony d’Offay.

AUTOGRAPHS & MANUSCRIPTS (Lots 187-189)

187 [Autographs & Manuscripts] A Remarkable Collection of 75 Autograph Letters from Comte d’Artois (later Charles X) to Comte Vaudreuill, Written Between 1789 and 1805 Sizes vary, many with wax seals or remnants of wax seals. Just three days after the infamous storming of the Bastille, Charles Philippe de France, comte d’Artois—brother of King Louis XVI and brother-in-law of Queen Marie Antoinette—hastily fled the kingdom. What followed was an exile of more than 26 years across the different courts of Europe, from which the comte d’Artois acted as a spokesman for the declining French monarchy. While in exile, he corresponded with his faithful friend, Joseph Hyacinthe François-de-Paule de Rigaud, comte de Vaudreuil, who had also left France in July, 1789. The comte d’Artois travelled first to Savoy, and then settled with his wife’s family in Turin, Italy. Due to tremendous financial and politcal precarity he was constantly on the move, seeking help from various European courts. The archive brings to life the comte’s life in exile—from the everyday to the profound. In a letter dated December 25, 1792, reacting to the news of the daily executions in Paris, he summarizes the situation to his friend: “It is more appalling than ever. The unfortunate King is being tried at present and beyond a doubt will be condemned. Perhaps the Convention will wish to keep him as hostage, but it is still very doubtful that the Convention can shield him from the rage of the people”. Several months later, after the king had indeed been executed and after learning about “the cruel death of the queen [Marie-Antoinette]”, the comte forewarns his friend: “I hope for nothing but vengeance”. Written from numerous cities such as Liege, London, Dusseldorf, St. Petersburg, Namur, Rotterdam, and Edinburgh, these letters offer a formidable report of the tumultuous events that took place in France during this period, and mirror his brother and sister-in-law’s difficult situation, especially in the years 1792 and 1793. In 1814, after two decades of exile, the comte returned to France. Following Napoleon’s abdication in 1815, the Bourbon monarchy was restored, and Charles’ brother ascended the throne as Louis XVIII. After Louis’ death in 1824, Charles became King and was crowned Charles X. An invaluable first-person source of information regarding one of France’s and Europe’s most troubled periods. provenance : Property of Roger Ross and Eric Bongartz. 20% of proceeds from the sale of this lot will be donated equally to Healthcorps and the National Ataxia Foundation.

This early entomology book was posthumously printed from the manuscript of Thomas Moffett (1553-1604), a physician and naturalist who travelled extensively across Europe documenting his observations. It includes writings from fellow naturalists Edward Wotton, Conrad Gesner and Gesner’s assistant Thomas Penny. Profusely illustrated with woodcuts of the insects described in the text, this publication represents the first to include an image of the American butterfly (p. 98). It is widely recognized as having established a new standard for accuracy in the study of invertebrates (Garrison & Morton 288).

Pedro de Ribadeneyra (1527-1611), was a Spanish hagiographer, Jesuit priest, and companion of Ignatius of Loyola.

Henri de Saussure (1829-1905) was a Swiss entomologist whose work focused Hymenoptera and Orthoptera, two orders of insects described in this book. In 1872 he was named an Honorary Fellow of the Entomological Society of London.

By Order of the Committee, David Grim”. Signed “P. Allaire” on verso. Printed by Childs & Swaine. 3 3/4 x 6 3/4 in. (95.2 x 171.4mm). Lightly foxed. Included in this lot is a printed document, “Statement of the Proceeds of the Exchange CoffeeHouse from 27th March, 1810 to 27th March, 1811 (Boston, MA). 7 1/2 x 12 1/2 in. (190 x 317mm). Docketed on verso, “Ex. Coffee House Statement”. Including three 19th century views of the Coffee-House. Subscription receipt for the building of the future Tontine Coffee-House, then still under construction, and signed by the building’s construction supervisor, and original subscriber, David Grim (1737-1826). The only known example of a document of its kind, marking the rise of New York as a financial powerhouse as well recording the birth of the New York Stock Exchange.

The Tontine Coffee-House (1792-1855) served as the official gathering place for New York City’s merchant community, housing the securities exchange that would eventually become the New York Stock Exchange. Organized by the Tontine Association, it was built between 1792-1794 on the northwest corner of Wall and Water Streets. The Coffee-House established funds by selling 203 shares at £200 apiece to 157 members. Operating under a tontine investment plan, shareholders were entitled to an equal division of profits derived from the operations of the building. Upon the death of a shareholder, their profits reverted to the remaining members until seven remained, at which point the associaiton was dissolved. In 1825 trading was moved to a larger headquarters on Wall St., and the Coffee-House functioned as a tavern until it was demolished in 1855. Peter Allaire (1740-1820), respected New York merchant, was infamously known for his also being a British spy during the American Revolution. He was jailed in the Bastille in February 1780 for purportedy trying to poison Benjamin Franklin with tainted madeira (see Claude-Anne Lopez, “The Man Who Frightened Franklin”). Released in May of that year, he was expelled from France and eventually made his way back to the Colonies. After the war he moved his family to Canada with the assistance of the British government. His activities as a British agent continued into the 1790’s, with attempts to foment unrest on the frontier by encouraging separatist movements. He returned to New York in the 1790’s, resuming his activities as a merchant. $3,000-5,000

(224 x 371mm). 2 pp. Manuscript on one parchment sheet, written in a clear Dutch clerical hand; verso with a number of early notations registering the bond (one signed “A. Boote,” an official of the Polder Committee of the Lekdijk Bovendams, and another signed and dated “D. Blanckendael, 1634”); with original papered seal and intact red seal. Margins on front and verso with notations recording the yearly interest payments beginning in 1698 and extending to 1890; with supplemental paper sheets of supporting documents, including recordings of interest payments through January of 1999. Verso of parchment darkened, but entire document completely legible. Widely acknowledged as the second oldest bond in existence that is still paying interest. Constituting a bond for 1,200 Guilders, issued to Catherina Jane’s daughter, certifying payment of annual interest, tax-free to the purchaser and subsequent bond-holders.

The Lekdijk Bovendams, charted in 1323 by the Bishop of Utrecht, was a company of landowners and leading citizens in charge of the erection and maintenance of the system of polders, dikes, and canals which created areas of tillable land from the marshes of the lower Rhine floodplain. The company was empowered to control, repair, and expand the dike and polder network along the Lek (a section of the lower Rhine in Utrecht province), and it levied taxes for this purpose on those who farmed these reclaimed lands. During the early decades of the 17th century the Polder Committee of the Lekdijk Bovendams began to issue a new type of financial instrument, called in Dutch a “rentebrief,” which closely corresponds to the modern municipal bond. The birth of the modern financial system is to be found in the near contemporaneous early 17th century establishment of the Amsterdam stock exchange and the innovative development by the Polder Committee of the Lekdijk of what we now recognize as the municipal bond. provenance : Christie’s, New York, December 14, 2000, lot 320.

(457 x 286mm) to 23 1/2 x 17 1/2 in. (597 x 444mm). Group of 10 original printed broadsides from the short-lived Northern Italian Cisalpine Republic, and the Italian Republic stating various decrees: six broadsides referring to municipal engineering projects for the Canale di Savignano, the Canale di Naviglio, and the via di Appalto, one broadside about instituting a standardized system of measurements throughout the Republic, one broadside about the establishment of new laws and penalties to redress crimes committed and to prevent criminal activity in general, one broadside referring to regulations and duties for newly conscripted soldiers, and one broadside about a livestock and merchandise exhibition. A fascinating collection of broadsides charting the tumultuous history of Italy before unification. Molded from the conquered territories of Napoleon’s army, the Cisalpine Republic (1797-1802) was a short lived sister republic of France in Northern Italy. Created in June 1797 after the unification of territories in the Po River Valley, it was officially recognized in the Franco-Austrian Treaty of Campo Formio on October 17, 1797. Modeled on the Directory in France, the Republic was nominally independent with a constitution and embassy in Paris, but with occupying French troops and monthly subsidies. In 1801 it was reconstituted as the Italian Republic with Napoleon as its dictator, eventually ceasing existence in 1805 after the creation of the Kingdom of Italy. $500-800

Thomson, Thomas. A System of Chemistry, in Four Volumes. London, 1817. Fifth edition. In four volumes. Pennsylvania’s Dr. George Smith (1804-1882) lived most-if not all-of his life as a servant to the people. This group of books represents his first foray into public service when his heart and mind were leading him into the field of medicine. He followed that interest to the University of Pennsylvania where he received a degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1826. He immediately set up shop in Darby then practiced there for five years until he took over the running of the large estate his wife Mary recently inherited. Although seemingly a brief moment in a long life, Smith’s time as a doctor and that first foray as a servant to the people never left him. He next went on to serve as State Senator in the Pennsylvania legislature for the district composed of Chester and Delaware counties, from 1832 to 1836. During that time he was largely instrumental in establishing a permanent law for free education, something that had long been near his heart. In late 1836, Governor Joseph Ritner appointed him an associate-judge of the courts of Delaware County, a post he held for 11 years. He was then chosen by the school directors of Delaware County to be the first superintendent of common schools there, and for 25 years was president of the school board of Upper Darby school district. During all of this time he continued to devote himself to the development and improvement of the system of publiceducation. Also during this time-and to his dying day, a period of 49 years-he served as President of the Delaware County Institute of Science, founded by he and four friends in 1833.

These six extra plates were evidently executed in the 1840s when Catlin envisioned a series of Indian “Portfolios,” but they were not printed or issued until Chatto & Windus acquired [the] stock...and copyright for Catlin’s North American Portfolio in the mid-1870s.” (Siebert Library 846). “These beautiful scenes in Indian life are probably the most truthful ever presented to the public’ (Field) and are the result of Catlin’s eight years [during the 1830s] of field research and painting among forty-eight tribes of Native Americans. In a famous passage from the preface [of his North American Indian Portfolio], Catlin describes how the sight of several Indian chiefs in Philadelphia led to his resolution to record their vanishing way of life.’ The history and customs of such a people, preserved by pictorial illustrations, are themes worthy the lifetime of one man, and nothing short of the loss of my life shall prevent me from visiting their country and becoming their historian.” (Siebert Library 844).

It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect all lots prior to bidding to ensure that the condition is to their satisfaction. If potential buyers are unable to inspect lots in person, our specialists will be happy to prepare detailed Condition Reports on individual lots as quickly as possible. These are for guidance only, and all lots will be sold “as is” as per our Terms and Conditions of Sale. Bidding At the sale Registered bidders will be assigned a bidder number and given a paddle for use at the sale. Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer asks for higher bids in increments determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you. The auctioneer will not mistake a random gesture for a bid. By phone A limited number of telephone lines are available for bidding by phone through a Freeman’s representative.

In writing Bid forms are available in the sale room and at the back of the catalogue.

Removal of Purchases Deliveries will not be made during the time of the sale unless otherwise indicated by the auctioneer.

Shipping and Packing Responsibility for packing, shipping and insurance shall be exclusively that of the purchaser. Upon request, Freeman’s will provide the purchaser with names of professional packers and shippers known to us. Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.


TERMS & CONDITIONS All property offered and sold (“property”) through Samuel T. Freeman & Co, (“Freeman’s”) shall be offered and sold on the terms and conditions set forth below which constitutes the complete statement of the terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. By bidding at the auction, whether present in person or by agent, by written bid, telephone, internet or other means, the buyer agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions.

1 Unless otherwise indicated, all Property will be offered by Freeman’s as agent for the Consignor. 2 Freeman’s reserves the right to vary the terms of sale and any such variance shall become part of these Conditions of Sale. 3 Buyer acknowledges that it had the right to make a full inspection of all Property prior to sale to determine the condition, size, repair or restoration of any Property. Therefore, all property is sold “AS-IS”. Freeman’s is acting solely as an auction broker, and unless otherwise stated, does not own the Property offered for sale and has made no independent investigation of the Property. Freeman’s makes no warranty of title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or any other warranty or representation regarding the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition to the Property of any kind or nature with respect to the Property. 4 Freeman’s in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to withdraw any property, at any time, before the fall of the hammer. 5 Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the printed catalogue. Freeman’s reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots. 6 The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re- offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Freeman’s sale record shall be conclusive in all respects. 7 If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.

8 Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale. Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility of the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as Freeman’s may require. 9 No lot may be removed from Freeman’s premises until the buyer has paid in full the purchase price therefor including Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such terms that Freeman’s, in its sole discretion, shall require. Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at his/ her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Freeman’s, or sent by Freeman’s to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of thebuyer(s), and Freeman’s may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales. In addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s by law, Freeman’s reserves the right to impose a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price on any balance remaining ten (10) days after the day of sale. If Property is not removed by the buyer within ten (10) days, a handling charge of 1%of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale until removal by the buyer shall be payable to Freeman’s by the buyer; Freeman’s shall charge 1.5% of the total purchase price per month for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. Freeman’s will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in Freeman’s possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Freeman’s, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all

costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and Freeman’s commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. 11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Freeman’s accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Freeman’s shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid.

13 A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $300,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $300,001 through $3,000,000, and 12% thereafter. 14 Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay any and all federal excise tax and any state and/or local sales taxes, including where deliveries are to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted, which may be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state. 15 Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer, arrange to have purchased property posted and shipped at the buyer’s expense. Freeman’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots whether or not such carrier is recommended by Freeman’s. Packing and handling of purchased lots is at the responsibility of the buyer and is at the entire risk of the buyer. 16 In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid. 17 No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Freeman’s in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Freeman’s on any future occasion. 18 These Conditions of Sale and the buyer’s, the Consignor’s and Freeman’s rights under these Conditions of Sale shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Consignor and Buyer agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
