FIRST EDITION OF MEYER’S RARE GERMAN TREATISE ON FENCING. “Building on his earlier 1560s works...it is a complex, sophisticated treatise purporting to teach the entire art of fencing (something that Meyer claimed had never been done before), and represents a significant evolution of the art that Johannes Liechtenauer taught 150 years earlier. It treats the sword, Dussack, rapier (both single and with secondary weapons), dagger and wrestling, and various pole weapons including the short staff, halberd, and long staff (pike)” (Wiktenauer). “Meyer’s celebrated work, which appeared in 1570, contains in a more systematic shape an equally complete account of the use of the popular weapons ‘Dusack’, ‘Schwerdt’, ‘Helleparten’, and ‘Pflegel’, together with a thorough system of the rapier, imitated from that of Grassi and Viggiani” (Castle, Schools and Masters of Fence, pp. XXXII and 75).

The first published edition was released in 1575, printed in Venice, Italy» (Wiktenauer). Cockle 749 note; Pardoel 117; Thimm p.326. $800 - 1,200

After Carranza’s death in 1600, Pacheco seems to have assumed his mantle of leadership in the Destreza, and ultimately was appointed Head Master of Arms to the royal court by King Phillip IV in 1624” (Wiktenauer). The works of master and student Sánchez de Carranza and Pacheco de Narváez ushered in a new era in the printing of technical fencing manuals which were no longer tied to their Greek or Latin antecedents. VERY RARE: OCLC locates only 6 copies of this edition, and we trace only 2 copies at auction in the last 50 years. Brunet IV:304-305; Cockle 752 (“very rare”); Palau 2080246 (“Libro gran prestigio raro”); Pardoel 268; Thimm p.202. $1,000 - 1,500

RARE: According to online records, only 2 copies of this work have sold at auction in the last 50 years. Cockle 753; Pardoel 168; Thimms p.80. $800 - 1,200

Third edition, first published in 1557, printed using the same engraved title-page and plates as the second edition of 1568.

FIRST EDITION of Capoferro’s fencing manual treating the use of the single rapier and the rapier in conjunction with the cloak, dagger, and rotella shield. “Though Capo Ferro’s treatise is often praised by modern fencing historians, it was neither comprehensive nor particularly innovative and does not seem to have been terribly influential in its own time” (Wiktenauer).

The inner and outer sheets of the first signature (including the title page) were replaced, possibly due to damage to all remaining books...Additionally, the colophon on the final page was covered up with a decorative paper patch” as in the present copy (Wiktenauer). “The first book treats thoroughly the question of broad principles and of the more ‘academic’ actions with the rapier, alone or accompanied with dagger or cloak; it discusses in a very exhaustive manner the relative value of the past and present methods. The second book is one ‘where in is demonstrated certain rules with which it will be possible to strike the enemy from the moment the sword is drawn, without halting or waiting any time” (Castle, Schools and Masters of Fence).

FIRST EDITION, “EXCEEDINGLY RARE” (Penzer). While Burton wrote Goa, and the Blue Mountains 40 years before, the publisher issued this brochure due to the increased interest in Goa toward the end of 1890.

Public attention had been focused on Goa following the political unrest surrounding elections and the 21 September Revolt of 1890, which resulted in the killing of 17 protesters and wounding of many others.

The frontispiece depicts Saint Francis Xavier (1506-1552), a Spanish Catholic Missionary who led Portuguese missions in Portuguese India and proposed the Goan Inquisition to enforce Catholic Orthodoxy. Burton›s chapters span pp. 1-78 and are followed by 2 articles from Madras Mail and Madras Times published in October and November of 1890 from pp.79-117, both of which largely discuss the upcoming Exposition of Saint Francis Xavier’s relics scheduled for 3 December 1890 to 1 January 1891.

50 BURTON, Richard Francis, Sir (1821-1890). First Footsteps in East Africa; Or, An Exploration of Harar.

London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1856.

Burton’s first African expedition began in 1854 when he set out from Aden disguised as an Arab merchant to cross the desert to Harar, a closed city never opened to foreigners. Speke accompanied him on the journey, and their differing accounts of the true source of the Nile River ignited a controversy between the two. Appendices include Speke’s diary of his African journey, Hearne’s meteorological observations, and a description of Cornwallis’s 1841 attempt to enter Harrar.

Burton traveled to Dahome to establish trade relationships, protest its participation in the slave trade, and investigate accusations of human sacrifice, though he disagreed with local leaders.

“It had been a frustrating, disappointing, unsuccessful trip, and psychologically the king had been Burton’s master… Only Burton’s magnificent two-volume work on his efforts served to offset his disappointments” (Rice). Penzer, pp. 72-73; Rice, Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton, p.487; Spink 31.

In 1871 upon returning to England from Damascus in financial hardship, he found and published the long-lost manuscript of his travels in Zanzibar, pressuring John Tinsley into a speedy publication.

After a lifelong fascination with swords and other fighting implements, while in Boulonge in 1851 waiting on Isabel’s decision regarding his marriage proposal, Burton took up fencing and earned the title of Maître d’armes. A New System of Sword Exercise for Infantry picks up on Burton’s previous work on the bayonet in 1853, and aims to fill what Burton saw as woeful neglect of theory and practice with the sabre for infantry: “[A New System] contains two distinct novelties, the Manchette System and the Reverse or Backcut; and finally, that it aspires to be the first Treatise in which the broadsword is scientifically taken in hand” (Introductory Remarks, p. 20). This copy was once owned by Lieutenant-General Codrington, who entered the Coldstream Guards in 1873, serving actively in the Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882, and later commanding the 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards in the Second Boer War from 1899 to 1902.

He mapped a 600-mile route through the northern and southern Midian recording its ruined ancient cities. For the Khedive in Cairo, he brought back 25 tons of minerals to be assayed. For himself, he seriously considered forming a company to exploit the oil resources of the Midian, but nothing came of it.

FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, with the title-page undated and without Quaritch’s name, of Burton’s pseudo-translation and great English poem in the style of an Arabic-language poem, a qaṣīda. The Kasîdah was first published by Bernard Quaritch in 1880 for the sole audience of Burton and his friends, who believed him to be the translator of a Persian Sufi text using the pen name “F.B.” for “Frank Baker.” However, it is generally thought that Burton was the author, writing under the pseudonym “Hâjî Abdû El-Yezdî” in an attempt to bring Sufic teachings to the West. Penzer posits that less than 200 copies of the entire edition were printed and the publisher stated that less than 100 of the entire edition was sold, comprising the first and second issues, with the remainders being returned to Burton and his friend group.

Burton writes as Vice President of the Anthropological Society of London, which he co-founded, to its Secretary, J. Frederick Collingwood, regarding the business of the Institute. He discusses publication opportunities and upcoming travel plans: “At present trade especially the book trade is so hard that it would [be] a waste of time and trouble to propose it to publishers. Next spring we may be more fortunate. I’m off for a trip to Southern Istria “Cashtrieri”[?]-hunting, but I shall offer results to the Paris Society.”

Scented Garden was never published because Isabel Burton burned the manuscript soon after Richard’s death.

A reprint of the original Kama Shastra Society edition for private subscribers only, this edition includes all original 16 volumes in 12 and, according to Smithers is “the most complete English edition of The Nights that can ever be published” (Editor’s Note, p. [vii]). Nichols commissioned Letchford, a friend of Burton, to paint 65 illustrations and a portrait of Burton (the frontispiece in vol. I) in 1896, later commissioning 5 more to ensure “sufficient” illustration of the tales according to Penzer (pp.118-119). Penzer, pp. 118-124; Spink 82.

Livres d’Artistes, Fine Press & Fine Bindings Lots 87-131

Morton and Estelle Sosland: Collecting with Taste Morton and Estelle Sosland were two well-known patrons of the arts in Kansas City, donating and serving on the boards of several art organizations including the Kansas City Symphony, Kansas City Art Institute, and the American Crafts Council. But perhaps no institution drew their attention and passion as much as the famed Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Both were heavily involved with the museum serving on the board, organizing donation drives, and helping guide the museum’s expansion. In 1994, the Soslands donated the massive 17-foot shuttlecock sculptures that adorn the sculpture park at the museum.

Although somewhat controversial at the time, the sculptures have become iconic and are among the most photographed art installations in the city.

While both were involved with the Nelson-Atkins, it was Estelle who formed the closest bond with it, starting as a volunteer in the Sales and Rental department before eventually rising to the position of chairman, the first woman ever to hold that position. She served on numerous boards including Menorah Medical Center, the Oppenstein Brothers Foundation Disbursement Committee, and the board of Sunset Hill School.

Morton Sosland made his living in the publishing business where he served as publisher and editor for many publications but most notably Milling & Baking News. He also served on many high profile boards of companies with significant Kansas City ties including H&R Block, Commerce Bancshares, ERC Corporation, Hallmark Cards, Kansas City Southern Industries, Stilwell Financial, and Trans World Airlines. Much like his wife, Morton also had a deep passion for the art community and the Nelson-Atkins in particular, serving several key positions at the museum.

Over the course of 73 wonderful years of marriage, Morton and Estelle built a remarkable life for themselves in their hometown of Kansas City that saw three children, four grandchildren, and six great grandchildren.

From a very young age, the Soslands learned that giving back was important, starting the charitable Sosland Foundation in 1950 while both were just 25 years old. Their impact on the Kansas City community was so profound that in 2014, Mayor Sly James proclaimed September 19 Morton and Estelle Sosland Day. Not surprisingly for a couple so passionately involved in the art world, they also assembled an enviable collection of paintings, sculptures, and other pieces of fine art. Inspired by Morton’s publishing business and their collection of fine art, the Soslands added several fine livres d’artistes to their collection, each in an incredible 20th-century binding commissioned from French binder Renée Haas.

Lot 87-90: Renée Haas The Sosland’s fine collection of livres d’artistes comprises four works in bindings designed and executed by Renée Haas, including several created in collaboration with Renaud Vernier or Claude Ribal. Renée Haas (b.1920) executed bindings on commission, reserving her talents for only a few privileged collectors. As a result, her work is incredibly rare – we trace fewer than 10 of her bindings at auction. She was entrusted to create bindings for some of the most significant livres d’artiste of the 20th century, including copies of Matisse’s Jazz, Leger’s Cirque, and Braque’s Theogonie.

She created bindings that speak to the works themselves, incorporating design elements that are harmonious with the artists’ illustrations within. Her bindings enhance the works themselves, and together with those works, her colorful abstract bindings create masterpieces of the modern illustrated book.

Modern black morocco by Renée Haas stamp-signed and dated 1972, sides with overall stylized mosaic evoking flames of plum, cranberry, yellow and olive morocco onlays, spines gilt-lettered, top edge gilt, others uncut and gilt, cranberry suede doublures, plum suede and black morocco-tipped endleaves; original wrappers bound in; black morocco-backed and edged wood-grain covered chemises gilt-lettered on spine and with fleece lining; black morocco-tipped wood-grain covered slipcases (a few tiny scuffs to slipcases).

LIMITED EDITION, number 21 of 275 copies on Papier Montval SIGNED BY CHAGALL. Chagall was commissioned by Ambroise Vollard for this edition of The Bible in 1931, and it took 25 years to finish the commission. Between 1931 and 1939, he created 65 etchings; after Vollard’s death in 1939, Tériade took over the project. Chagall completed the remaining 40 etchings between 1952 and 1956, and which point the etchings were reproduced for a special edition of Verve (Vol.8, Nos. 33/34, see below). Writing in Verve about Chagall’s interpretation, Meyer Schapiro described Chagall as “a rare modern painter whose art has been accessible to the full range of his emotions and thoughts...He has represented themes of an older tradition not in a spirit of curiosity or artifice, but with a noble devotion...If we had nothing of Chagall but his Bible, he would be for us a great modern artist.” The Artist & the Book 53; Cramer 29.

IN AN EXCEPTIONAL MODERN BINDING BY RENEÉ HAAS depicting her interpretation of the burning bush. Bound into each volume are gouache renderings of the cover design, presumably by Haas. Bound into volume II is the binder’s pattern sheet with annotations in pencil and pen presumably used to cut the onlays. Another copy of Chagall’s Bible in a similar patterned binding by Haas was sold by Christie’s in Paris on 21 May 2003 (sale 5052, lot 60).

91 [ARTISTS -- SURREALISTS]. Catalogue for “Artists in Exile” exhibition, held at Pierre Matisse Gallery beginning 3 March 1942. Signed by 14 of the artists, comprising: Pavel Tchelitchew (“P. Tchelitchew”) -- Amedee Ozenfant (“Z. Ozenfant”) -- Jacques Lipchitz (“Lipchitz”) -- Matta Echaurren (“Matta”) -- Max Ernst (“Max Ernst”) -- Piet Mondrian (“Piet Mondrian”) -- Eugene Berman (“Eugene Berman”) -- Andre Breton (“Andre Breton”) -- Marc Chagall (“Marc Chagall”) -- Ossip Zadkine (“O.

The works mounted in the show represented the cutting edge European avant-garde, and perhaps more significantly, were each created by artists who had escaped the increasing fascism and totalitarianism in Europe. The works represented many of the modern styles that had been classified as «Degenerate Art,» including Dada, Surrealism, Cubism, and De Stijl. Many of the artists would go on to make significant postwar contributions in their fields.

Comprising 80 original pen, ink and wash drawings prepared as a contest submission to illustrate Anatole France’s Penguin Island. Tipped to larger sheets and interleaved with an enlarged facsimile printing of France’s Penguin Island as published by the Limited Editions Club in 1947 with illustrations by Malcolm Cameron.

With original prospectus for the Limited Editions Club›s “Competition in Book Illustration” tipped in. Modern calf gilt; slipcase. Retaining original portfolio with cover label.

Richard Taylor, a Canadian cartoonist, was best known for his cartoons produced for publication in The New Yorker and Playboy Magazine. Historian John Bell called Taylor “one of the greatest New Yorker cartoonists” (Invaders from the North, 2006). He prepared these drawings in response to a Limited Editions Club contest in 1932-1933 that solicited sets of illustrations to accompany one of thirty selected titles for a $2,500 prize. Four groups of artists were specifically targeted: “Those artists who feel that they have original or experimental ideas concerning the proper illustration of books...

Those artists who want to devote their talents to the illustration of books...

Those artists who have already illustrated books, but feel they can do better... [and] those artists who have achieved success in other fields” (Prospectus).

Taylor’s illustrations are highly accomplished, but are of a naughty nature, including nudity, sex, and violence, and his work was never accepted. [With:] A copy of the 1947 Limited Editions Club edition of Penguin Island in the original binding and slipcase (some soiling and wear).

It was succeeded by an almanac every year (with but one exception, 1896) until 1897...There are various little conceits about these charming productions which are calculated to appeal to the ‹licquorish chapman of such wares›; so that complete sets of them already fetch respectable sums from the collectors of beautiful books» (Spielman & Layard (1905), p. 122). $2,000 - 3,000

Kubla Khan, which Coleridge composed one night after he experienced an opium-influenced dream in 1797, could not be completed according to his original plan; while writing, Coleridge was interrupted by “a person from Porlock,” and the interruption caused him to forget the lines. He would read the poem periodically to the Wordsworths, Lord Byron, and other friends, and in 1816, Byron persuaded him to publish the visionary Kubla Khan and Christabel.

This narrative brings together the memoirs of Major Denham and Captain Clapperton who, along with Dr. Walter Oudney, were the first Europeans to successfully complete a north-south crossing of the Sahara Desert.

FIRST APPEARANCE OF ELIOT’S “PRUFROCK,” which preceded the first edition in book form by two years. Harriet Monroe included “Prufrock” in her magazine at Ezra Pound’s urging, marking Eliot’s first appearance outside of a school or university publication. “Nothing like the first three lines of ‘Prufrock’ had previously appeared in English poetry. ‘Prufrock’ was the first poem by [Eliot or Pound] to go beyond experiment to achieve perfection. It represented a break with the immediate past as radical as that of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth in Lyrical Ballads (1798)» (Britannica).

It is the breviary of post-war disillusion” (Connolly, The Modern Movement 43). Gallup A6a.

4 volumes, 8vo. (Some light spotting and rust-stains from staples to “East Coker” and “Burnt Norton.”) Original printed wrappers (“East Coker” and “Burnt Norton” with some soiling, some fading to the edges of “The Dry Salvages”, a few short tears or creases); folding case. Provenance: A few signatures or annotations in pencil or ink on first blanks).

FIRST EDITIONS OF THE FIRST SEPARATE APPEARANCES of the poems that were later collected as Four Quartets. Eliot first published “Burnt Norton” in a collection of his early works in 1933. The poem, a meditation on the nature of time and its relation to eternity, was then used as the model for “East Coker,” “The Dry Salvages,” and “Little Gidding,” which he wrote during World War II and the air-raids in Great Britain. The poems each stand as a complete, self-subsistent work, but were published for the first time as a series by Faber and Faber. They were not collected into book form until Eliot’s New York publisher printed them together in 1943 (see next lot). “This work made a deep impression on the reading public, and even those who were unable to accept the poems’ Christian beliefs recognized the intellectual integrity with which Eliot pursued his high theme, the originality of the form he had devised, and the technical mastery of his verse” (Britannica).

The Criterion, founded by T. S. Eliot with financial backing from Lady Rothermere; owner of The Daily Mail, featured the best writers of the time earning it the reputation as the flagship of Modernism. Eliot edited the periodical for its entire lifespan.

“The periodical advanced his literary and social career; it was an outlet for his poetry and criticism; and, during the crisisridden 1930s, it was a platform for outspoken interventions in the major social and political issues of the day... Throughout its life, the editor wanted his periodical to be an open forum: it often staged symposia and engaged in controversies with rival magazines. The Criterion was therefore never a straightforward vehicle for Eliot’s own opinions» (Dr. Jason Harding, The Criterion Introduction).

245

The Criterion included contributions from Virginia Woolf, Ezra Pound, William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, Ford Madox Ford, Wyndham Lewis, Gertrude Stein, Aldous Huxley, and Archibald Macleish.

[Laid in:] 2 original black and white photographs of Frost. [Middlebury College, Ripton, VT, ca 1940s]. One photograph features the author at-bat in a game of baseball set in a meadow (numbered “34” verso), and the other of the author’s back while standing amidst the group of lounging onlookers (numbered “35” verso). Frost spent 42 years, from 1921 to 1962, teaching at Bread Loaf School of English at Middlebury College in Ripton, Vermont. Based on similar pictures of Frost playing baseball while at Middlebury College in the 1940s from the Middlebury College Archives, it seems likely these images were taken while Frost was on campus, perhaps attending the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference.

Joyce began the work in 1904, and it went through a series of radical changes before publication in 1916. “The prose moves forward in complexity from the child’s sensations at the beginning to the adolescent subtleties at the end,” and the novel’s modernism is apparent in its episodic format and concern with the consciousness of the protagonist (Connolly, The Modern Movement 26).

Early appearance of “Anna Livia Plurabelle,” a fragment from Finnegans Wake. Joyce began publishing excerpts from the Wake in April 1924 in Transatlantic Review. In 1927, Eugene Jolas, publisher of transition, befriended Joyce, and serially published revised fragments from Part I in his journal in April 1927.

“In each case where transition duplicated a previous publication there was an extensive revision of the text; the text was usually revised again before final publication in Finnegans Wake” (Slocum & Cahoon p.101). By November of that year, chapters I.2-I.8 had all been published in transitions, in their correct sequence, under the title “Continuation of a Work in Progress.” Joyce would go on to publish fragments from parts II and III in 1928 and 1929.

The publisher also reprinted an April 1932 letter from Joyce to Bennett Cerf (“since you are determined to fight for its legalization in the United States and to publish what will be the only authentic edition there, I think it just as well to tell you the history of its publication in Europe and the complications which followed it in America”).

282 LAWRENCE, D. H. (1885-1930). Autograph letter signed (“D. H. Lawrence”), to David Garnett. Greatham, Pulborough, Sussex, [19 April 1915]. 5 pages, 8vo.

[With:] LAWRENCE, Freida. Autograph letter signed (“Freida”), to David Garnett. [19 April 1915]. With postscript from D. H. Lawrence at end. 2 pages, 8vo, with original envelope marked “Absolutely Private.”

“IT IS SO WRONG, IT IS UNBEARABLE...THERE IS SOMETHING NASTY ABOUT HIM, LIKE BLACK BEETLES...”

D. H. Lawrence went to Cambridge in 1915, and visited with David Garnett, the son of Lawrence’s sometimes-champion Edward Garnett. During his visit, he met the set that Garnett had attached himself to, including Duncan Grant, Maynard Keynes, and Francis Birrell. “The repulsion that D. H. Lawrence felt for Cambridge when he was the guest there of Bertrand Russell in March 1915 has become part of the mythology of modern English literary history” (S. P. Rosenbaum, “Keynes, Lawrence, and Cambridge Revisited,” in The Cambridge Quarterly, Vol. II, No. 1, 1982, p.252). Following the visit, Lawrence held the belief that Garnett was homosexually involved with Birrell.

Following the visit, Lawrence wrote to Garnett: “It is foolish of you to say that it doesn’t matter either way -- the men loving men. It doesn’t matter in the public way. But it matters so much, David, to the man himself...that it is like a blow of triumphant decay, when I meet Birrell or the others. I simply can’t bear it.”

Lawrence implored him to end his relationships with several mutual acquaintances whom Lawrence considered repulsive. Recalling an encounter during their visit with a pjyama-clad John Maynard Keynes, Lawrence writes: “It is so wrong, it is unbearable. It makes a form of inward corruption which truly makes me scarce able to live...It is something almost unbearable to me. And not from any moral disapprobation. I myself never considered Plato very wrong, or Oscar Wilde. I never knew what it meant until I saw K.” Of Birrell, he concludes: “Never bring B. to see me any more. There is something nasty about him, like blackbeetles. He is horrible and unclean, I feel as if I should go mad, if I think of your set, D.G. & K. & B.” Invoking Garnett’s parents, Lawrence implores: “You must wrench away and start a new life. B. & D.G. are done for, I think -- done for for ever... No David, in the name of everything that is called love, leave this set and stop this blasphemy against love.”

Accompanying Lawrence’s letter is a compassionate and sympathetic letter from Freida: “Are you getting sick of being bombarded with letters? I was so very fond of you when you were here...I felt a great strength and livingness and a genuine you...” With a post-script from D.H. Lawrence imploring: “Do leave this group of ‘friends.’ You have always known the wrong people...”

Prior to this visit, Garnett and Lawrence experienced a deeply-felt friendship. David met Lawrence and Freida in Germany during a visit arranged by his father, and he was immediately taken with the couple. The group of correspondence also includes an ALS from Garnett to D. H. Lawrence, written in Hampstead on 20 October 1912. Garnett writes Lawrence about his second book, The Trespasser: “It is splendid. ou are not simply a clever devil but an understanding one -- You are so sensitive...I felt it all the more acutely because I have felt it personally before...”

Lawrence’s letter is published in The Letters of D. H. Lawrence (Cambridge University Press, 1981, pp. 320-321). Accompanying the group of letters is a typed affidavit signed by Richard Garnett, David Garnett›s oldest son and executor, confirming that the letter was loaned by Garnett to Cambridge University Press for inclusion in the Letters, and attesting that he consigned the letter for sale on behalf of the estate with Hamill & Barker. $5,000 - 7,000 104 F I N E B O O K S & M A N U S C R I P T S , I N C L U D I N G A M E R I C A N A

THE FIRST PRINTED MAP OF VIRGINIA BY VIRGINIANS, state 6 with the date changed from 1751 to 1775. Peter Jefferson (father of Thomas Jefferson) and Joshua Fry first prepared the map at the request of Lord Halifax in 1751, who had recently become the president of the board of Trade and Plantations. It was first revised in 1751, and revised again in 1755 to include information about western Virginia colony based on John Dalrymple and Christopher Gist’s journals.

CALLIGRAPHIC MANUSCRIPT OF WARD’S FIRST -- AND UNPUBLISHED -- BOOK AB Bookman’s Weekly describes the manuscript: “What might be considered Ward’s first--and unpublished--book was his calligraphic and illustrated manuscript of ‘Song of Hiawatha,’ apparently done by Ward while a college student, ca. 1923. Ward hand-sewed it in wrappers after neatly writing the text on five and one half pages and embellishing it with 8 full-page color drawings, each 3-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches” (Vol. 102, 1998, p.553).

In 1928, Ward earned his first commission, illustrating Dorothy Rowe’s The Begging Deer: And Other Stories of Japanese Children with eight full-page watercolor and forty-two ink and brush drawings. His first work, Gods’ Man, a woodcut novel of his own, was published by Jonathan Cape & Harrison Smith in October 1929, the week before the Wall Street Crash. His work has been an important influence on graphic artists, and in 2011, his name has been attached to the prestigious annual Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize, sponsored by Penn State University Libraries and administered by the Pennsylvania Center for the Book, an affiliate of the Center for the Book at the US Library of Congress. $4,000 - 6,000 122 F I N E B O O K S & M A N U S C R I P T S , I N C L U D I N G A M E R I C A N A

AMONG THE EARLIEST AND RAREST AMERICAN COLOR PLATE BOOKS -- THE SNYDER-SNIDER COPY FIRST TRADE EDITION of Birch’s work, the second book published in America, which was first issued in four parts to a limited number of subscribers. The edition in parts was met with little commercial success, but “Birch nonetheless proceeded to put his work into book form. After the issue to subscribers was complete, he reissued the plates as one volume in 1809 in a trade edition [as the present copy]. Very few copies appear now to exist. The make-up of the plates and letterpress was identical with the first issue except in three respects: notation of the copyright on the reverse of the title plate; substitution of the revised version of the view of Mount Sidney; and correction of the spelling on one of the plates from ‘Mendenghall’ to ‘Mendenhall’ Ferry” (Snyder).

Birch’s work includes numerous views from the Philadelphia area (13 of the 20 views presented) and also includes views in Maryland, Virginia (including Mount Vernon), New York, New Jersey, and Louisiana. “Birch and his sons, Thomas and George, collaborated on the work, combining line and stipple engraving with delicate coloring to rich effect. The conception of Country Seats was primarily decorative, a handsome series of views aimed at an audience such as might possess country estates themselves» (Reese, Stamped with a National Character 2).

Chicago, 22 March 1897. 1 page, 8vo. In full: “At the request of Hon. W. J. Bryan we send you a copy of his book, ‘The First Battle.’ He asks that in order to avoid embarrassment to him you make no public acknowledgment of the receipt of the book.” Albert Shaw was the editor and publisher of the Review of Reviews, an influential monthly journal. After Bryan’s performance at the 1896 Democratic Convention and subsequent nomination, Shaw remarked: “If, indeed, they had not heard of Mr. Bryan before, they had failed to follow closely the course of American politics in the past eight years. As a Democratic member of the Ways and Means Committee through two Congresses, Mr. Bryan was by all odds the ablest and strongest orator on the Democratic side of the House.

13 original parts [all published], oblong folio (295 x 375 mm, approximately). THE COMPLETE SET OF 52 TINTED LITHOGRAPHED PLATES containing city views

by Louis Kurz and the Chicago Lithographing Company; letterpress prospectus laid-in to part I. (Very minor pale spotting to a few plate margins, occasional offsetting to text.) ALL IN ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPHED PICTORIAL WRAPPERS (slight wear to spines with a few minor repairs, otherwise fine); quarter morocco folding case. Provenance: Kenneth Nebenzahl (bookplate in folding case; sold his sale, Christie’s New York, 10 April 2012, lot 32).

FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL MONTHLY PARTS OF THIS PRE-FIRE RARITY Chicago Illustrated remains the most comprehensive record of the physical appearance of the city destroyed by the Great Fire of 1871. Austrian-born Louis Kurz created the lithographed views “exud[ing] an almost palpable sense of the hustle and bustle of pre-Fire Chicago” (Chicago 101). Otto Jevne and Peter M. Almini, decorators known for ornamental painting, joined with Kurz (who would later form the famous Kurz & Allison firm) and two other lithographers to form the Chicago Lithographing Company. James W. Sheahan, a journalist who published the Chicago Times and later the Chicago Post, contributed the text.

The complete work was originally meant to include 25 parts. In the prospectus for the work, Jevne & Almini promised “to publish, in Monthly Parts, an illustrated History of Chicago,--that is, a history of the more important and striking evidences of the city’s improvement and enterprise.” The parts were issued at $1.50 per fascicle until the project terminated in January 1867. “Constituting the best visual evidence of their appearance, the plates exude an almost palpable sense of the hustle and bustle of pre-Fire Chicago...In general Chicago Illustrated is a paean to the new colossus rising alongside the lake» (Chicago 101).

Second Palmer edition of Wollaston’s work TYPESET BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. Franklin was encouraged by the Governor of Pennsylvania, Sir William Keith, to go to London at the age over 19 to obtain printing equipment for a newspaper. In London in 1724, he found employment in London at Palmer’s printing house. In his Memoirs, he wrote: “At Palmer’s I was employed in composing the second edition [the second Palmer printing, actually the third edition of the work] of Wollaston’s The Religion of Nature Delineated. Some of his reasonings not appearing to me well founded, I wrote a little metaphysical piece in which I made remarks on them. It was entitled ‘A Dissertation on Liberty and Necessity, Pleasure and Pain.’ I inscribed it to my friend...[and] printed a small number.”

FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH, A RARE JAMES FRANKLIN IMPRINT. James Franklin (16971735), was Benjamin Franklin’s older brother and master, but there was little affection between them. In 1723 Benjamin tired of James’s hard treatment, and set out for Philadelphia. “Though a brother,” Franklin wrote in his Autobiography, “he considered himself as my master, and me as his apprentice, and accordingly expected the same services from me as he would from another, while I thought he demeaned me too much in some he required of me, who from a brother expected more indulgence.” James Franklin established the first press in Rhode Island in 1726, where he specialized in popular religious books. Barclay’s Apology was first published in Latin in 1676, and was first published in English in 1678. Franklin’s edition constituted one of the first full-length books published in Rhode Island, preceded only by a few broadsides and pamphlets and a 150page book issued in the previous year.

389A KENNEDY, John F., Jr. (1960-1999). Autograph letter signed (“John”), to a group of counselors from the West Thumb Youth Conservation Corps. Bar Cross Ranch, Cora, Wyoming, 6 July 1978.

3 pages, 8vo, with original envelope addressed in Kennedy’s hand, creased, a few marginal pinholes, some staining to envelope.

Kennedy writes to his former counselors and fellow campers at the West Thumb Youth Conservation Corps, a high school work camp that he attended briefly in Yellowstone National Park before his mother, Jacqueline Kennedy, transferred him to Bar Cross Ranch in Cora, Wyoming.

He writes, “I’ve been here 3 days and all I can claim for myself is an extremely sore ass. I was on a horse for 13 consecutive hours, no shit, we left at 5:00 in the morning, got back at 7:30 until about an hour or two out for lunch, whoever said you get sore is right, try sitting on the sharp end of a polaski for 10 hours you might get an idea of how I feel. It’s not bad here though.”

Recalling his time with the YCC, he comments, “I prefer the work there better, I shoveled shit and mowed a huge lawn for about 11 hours today.” He describes Wyoming and Bar Cross Ranch: “It’s pretty up here, there are a lot of plains in the mountains in the distance...right up from the house is the highest peak in Wyoming, me and this English kid here hope to hike up there someday... The food here is really good, eggs and regular pancakes, oh but Katy I miss my brewers yeast in the mornings, the mosquitos are killing me.”

Kennedy’s humor toward his friends is evident as he closes the letter: “I have to go to bed now cause we have to get up at 5:00 AM to herd cattle all day again. Ow! I’ll keep in touch, you all write too. Hope you guys have a good time, I miss the morning canoe rides and alarmingly frequent whole-wheat bowel movements. See y’all later. Keep the boys in line George, don’t fuck around. Later.”

Then, in postscript, he remarks: “PS Please, if I got any mail could you please send it I’m desperate... PSS Kelley I’m almost finished, I’ll send you the book when I’m done you intellectual you. PSSS Rusty you fucker!”

FIRST OCTAVO EDITION. Beginning in 1821 U.S. Superintendent of Indian Trade Thomas McKenney commissioned artist Charles Bird King (17851862) to create portraits of Native American leaders who traveled to Washington in order to negotiate treaties with the federal government.

Fearful that Native Americans as a people were threatened by the rapid expansion of settlers throughout the United States, it was McKenney’s aim to preserve “whatever of the aboriginal man which can be rescued from the destruction which awaits [him]” (Horan, p. 61). To generate further interest in the works, McKenney partnered with James Hall to write accompanying biographies of each sitter. Once the project was completed the portraits, now numbering 300 and including works by James Otto Lewis, Peter Rindisbacher, and Henry Inman, were donated to the Smithsonian Institution; all but 5 of the were destroyed by a fire in 1865.

FIRST EDITION of Milbert’s outstanding series of American views. Milbert spent seven years in the United States collecting specimens of American flora and fauna on behalf of the Museum d’Histoire Naturelle au Jardin du Roi in Paris. While in America, he also completed the sketches from which these lithographed views were made. The plates primarily depict New York State, including New York City, Albany, and Niagara Falls, and the views extend north as far as Massachusetts, and south as far as Virginia. “As an artist, Milbert loved to paint American landscapes, particularly those which showed the Hudson, ‘King of Rivers,’ flowing majestically through the mountains … boundless curiosity, plus a contagious enthusiasm and a delightful sense of humor, make the journal as lively a document today as when it was penned a hundred and forty years ago” (Sherman, “A French Explorer in the Hudson Valley” in the New York Historical Society Quarterly 45 (July 1961), pp.255-280).

Snider Collection of Historical Americana Sale (1618), 21 June 2005, Lot 138 (tag laid in, pencil “138/1” to rear flyleaf).

FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, without the two leaves of “Additional Subscribers.” St. Clair is most known for the Battle of the Wabash of 1791, also called “St. Clair’s Defeat.” In a poorly organized and woefully supplied expedition, the American forces were counterattacked

by Native American Indians on 4 November 1791. The deadliest battle in American history between U.S. soldiers and Native Americans, the battle resulted in a casualty rate of 97 percent for the American forces, with the deaths of over 88 percent of the officers, 632 of 920 soldiers killed, and an additional 264 wounded. Only 24 Americans were uninjured.

While President Washington and a congressional committee exonerated St. Clair, he resigned from his position; A Narrative is his account of the events.

THE GEORGE IZARD COPY. During 1791 and the events St. Clair describes, Izard attended Columbia College (then King’s College), graduating a year later at the age of 15. By the publication of St. Clair’s A Narrative in 1812, Izard was the Colonel of the Second Artillery Regiment in anticipation of war with England and was later promoted to Major-General.

Following the War of 1812, Izard lived a secluded life of scholarship, actively participating in the American Philosophical Society. On 4 March 1825, President Monroe appointed him Governor of the Arkansas Territory, a role Izard held until his death in 1828. Izard›s tenure was controversial due to his success in forcing the relocation of the Quapaw and Choctaw tribes to reservations, and condemnation by the “unruly frontier legislature” for his “dictatorial manner toward them”(ANB).

INSCRIBED BY WARREN TO INFAMOUS JURIST JULIUS J. HOFFMAN Julius J. Hoffman served as judge for the case against protesters arrested during the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, originally known as the “Chicago Eight.” After defendant Bobby Seale’s attorney became ill, Hoffman refused to let Seale represent himself, leading to conflict in the courtroom and Hoffman’s order that Seale be bound and gagged in the courtroom. Hoffman removed Seale from the trial, at which point it became known as the trial of the “Chicago Seven.” All seven defendants were found by the jury to be not guilty of conspiracy, but the jury returned guilty verdicts to five of the defendants for inciting a riot. Hoffman sentenced each to the maximum penalty: 5 years in prison and a fine of $5,000 plus court costs, and additionally sentenced all eight defendants and their lawyers to lengthy jail terms for contempt of court. The contempt convictions were vacated by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on May 11, 1972. On November 21, 1972, the United States Court of Appeals reversed all of the substantive convictions on a number of grounds. $400 - 600 152 F I N E B O O K S & M A N U S C R I P T S , I N C L U D I N G A M E R I C A N A

Guide for Prospective Sellers and Buyers GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE SELLERS

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS

Evaluation of Property Hindman is pleased to provide complimentary auction estimates for items you’re considering consigning. You are welcome to submit items electronically (consign@hindmanauctions.com) or to contact any of our offices directly.

Conditions of Sale All bidders with Hindman LLC must read and agree to Conditions of Sale posted in this catalogue prior to bidding at an auction.

Our specialists are eager to help you learn more about your collection and current auction sale estimates.

Viewing Auction Items It is highly recommended that all prospective bidders either view the sale via our online catalogue or contact Hindman LLC for further images or to schedule an appointment to view objects in person.

To begin an estimate, our specialists will need: • At least 3 photos • Detailed description • Details on signatures or marks

Estimates Hindman LLC provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision.

Shipping Arrangements Buyers assume full responsibility for the packing and shipping of lots won at auction. Our Recommended Shippers offer a wide variety of local, domestic, and international shipping options.

Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.

In the interest of our clients, Hindman requires a written authorization from the buyer in order to release property to anyone other than the purchaser of record (including but not limited to our recommended shippers). You may submit the Shipping Release Form via fax to 312.280.1211 or email to shipping@hindmanauctions.com

Appraisals Our exceptional team of specialists regularly appraises property by analyzing market trends and conducting comprehensive research.

Specialists evaluate thousands of objects each year for auction, allowing them to closely monitor the nuances of the current market.

Professional appraisals are prepared for estate tax, gift tax, charitable contribution, insurance and for equitable distribution purposes.

• Estate Tax • Gift Tax • Charitable Contribution • Insurance • Appraisals for Corporate Valuation Needs Our trust and estates department recognizes that each client and appraisal situation is unique and often involves multiple asset categories and residences. Fees for appraisals are determined by the number of specialists, hours involved and the necessary travel and expenses. Our competitive fees are negotiated based upon the express needs of each client and are competitive within the marketplace.

Please contact our Appraisals Department (appraisals@ hindmanauctions.com) for more information.

Estate Services Estate settlement is a meticulous and multi-faceted process. Hindman provides executors, fiduciaries and beneficiaries throughout the country with confidential and customized appraisals and disposition services.

All appraisals are prepared fully in accordance with USPAP guidelines and meet all current requirements set forth by the IRS. We recognize that each client and appraisal situation is unique and often involves multiple asset categories and residences. Our Trusts and Estates department offers services that are tailored to meet our clients’ timelines and specifications.

Our specialists offer complimentary walk-through services with the goal of providing an accurate representation of each items’ value based on the current auction market. A detailed proposal outlining the manner in which a sale will be conducted from the initial value assessment to removal of the property and settlement is provided to all parties involved.

Please contact our Estate Services (inquiries@hindmanauctions.com) team for more information.

Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction.

The standard bidding increments are: $0 – 500 $500 – 1000 $1000 – 2,000 $2,000 – 5,000 $5,000 – 10,000 $10,000 – 20,000 $20,000 – 50,000 $50,000 – 100,000 $100,000 – 200,000 $200,000 +

$25 $50 $100 $250 $500 $1,000 $2,500 $5,000 $10,000 AT AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION

In-House Bidding Our auctions are free and open to the public with no obligation for attendees to bid.

Registration requires your full contact information, photo identification, credit card information, your signature and agreement to the Conditions of Sale.. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer.

Live Bid Online Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at hindmanauctions.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at hindmanauctions.com.

Absentee Bidding If you are unable to attend an auction, you may place an absentee bid, either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. An absentee bid is the highest price you are willing to pay exclusive of buyer’s premium and applicable sales tax. Hindman LLC will exercise absentee bids at no additional charge. Absentee bids are always confidential, and bids are executed at the lowest price possible by the auctioneer according to reserves and competing bids.

Telephone Bidding You may register telephone bid requests either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue.

Upon registering for a telephone bid, you will be called on the day of the auction by a Hindman representative approximately five lots before your item is scheduled to be sold. They will communicate to you the bidding activity and will relay your bids to the auctioneer at your discretion. Please note we can only accept telephone bids for lots with a low estimate of $500 or above unless otherwise noted online. Telephone bids may be requested up to 2 hours prior to the auction start time.

Conditions of Sale These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction.

A. BEFORE THE AUCTION 1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance— are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact.

Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot.

2. CONDITION The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report.

3. VIEWING LOTS We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge.

If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping purposes.

4. ESTIMATES Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose.

Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges.

5. WITHDRAWAL We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.

B. REGISTERING TO BID 1. GENERAL We reserve the right to reject any bid. By participating in the sale, you represent and warrant that: (a) The bidder and/or purchaser is not subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or any other restriction on trade in the jurisdiction in which it does business as well as under the laws and regulations of the United States, and is not owned (nor partly owned) or controlled by such sanctioned person(s) (collectively, “Sanctioned Person(s)”); (b) Where you are acting as agent, your principal is not a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by Sanctioned Person(s); and (c) The bidder and/or purchaser undertakes that none of the purchase price will be funded by any Sanctioned Person(s), nor will any party be involved in the transaction including financial institutions, freight forwarders or other forwarding agents or any other party be a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by a Sanctioned Person(s), unless such activity is authorized in writing by the government authority having jurisdiction over the transaction or in applicable law or regulation.

2. NEW BIDDERS New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity. (a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s

name and registered address, together with documentary proof of directors and beneficial owners. (c) Trusts, partnerships, offshore companies, and other business entities must contact us in advance of the auction to discuss our requirements. If we are not satisfied with the information you provide us in our bidder identification and other registration procedures, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid.

3. RETURNING BIDDERS If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction.

4. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal.

5. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction.

6. OUR BIDDING SERVICES We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services. (a) Phone Bids: You must contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction to arrange a phone bid. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff is available to take the bids. We agree that we may record telephone bids. (b) Internet Bids: You can bid in our live sales via our bidding platform or through third-party bidding sites. (c) Written Bids: You can find a Written Bid Form at the auction location, or online at www.hindmanauctions.com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least twenty-four (24) hours before the auction. We will endeavor to execute written bids at the lowest possible price consistent with the reserve.

If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids.

7. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a temporary authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 2 to 7 days.

C. DURING THE AUCTION 1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION (a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites.

Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (b) Online Auctions. The auctioneer will accept bids from Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (c) Timed Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion.

F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M A G E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S . C O M 157

2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1).

3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller.

If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at a set increment lower than the lot’s low estimate and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold.

4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges. Please note that Hindman will not accept payments for purchased lots from any party other than the purchaser, unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and Hindman prior to the sale.

D. AFTER THE AUCTION 1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots except for those in Coins, Medals & Banknotes; Sports Memorabilia; and Arms, Armor & Militaria auctions we charge twenty-six percent (26%) of the hammer price up to and including $1,000,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $1,000,001 up to and including $5,000,000; and fifteen percent (15%) of any amount in excess of $5,000,001. For all lots offered in Coins, Medals & Banknotes we charge a buyer’s premium of twenty-one percent (21%) of the hammer price. Sports Memorabilia; and Arms, Armor & Militaria auctions we charge a buyer’s premium of twenty percent (20%) of the hammer price. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium.

2. TAXES The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required.

3. MAKING PAYMENT (a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date. (b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name. (c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways: (i) Wire transfer. (ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed. (iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us.

158 F I N E B O O K S & M A N U S C R I P T S , I N C L U D I N G A M E R I C A N A

(iv) Credit card: Credit card payments may not exceed $10,000 and a convenience fee of 3% will be added to each credit card payment. (v) ACH Bank Transfer (d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1550 West Carroll Avenue, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department.

4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you.

5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse.

6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion: (a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due. (b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation. (c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount. (d) We can hold you legally responsible for the amount you owe us and bring legal proceedings against you to recover the amount owed by you, plus other losses, interest, legal fees, and costs as allowed by law. (e) We can reveal your identity and contact details to the seller. (f) We can reject any bids made by or on behalf of you in future auctions or require you to provide us with a deposit before accepting any bids. (g) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest, or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us. (h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate.

7. SHIPPING, COLLECTION, AND STORAGE (a) You must collect purchased lots within thirty (30) days of the auction. We can assist in making shipping arrangements by suggesting art handlers, packers, transporters, or experts, but you must arrange all transport and shipping with them, and we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect.

Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping. (b) If you do not collect any purchased lot within thirty (30) days following the auction, we may, at our sole option, (i) charge you storage and insurance costs; (ii) move the lot to another Hindman location or to a third-party warehouse, whereupon we will charge you transport costs, insurance costs, and administration fees for doing so, and you will be subject to the third-party storage warehouse’s standard terms and responsible for paying its standard fees and costs; or (iii) sell the lot in any commercially reasonable way we think appropriate. (c) In accordance with applicable state law, if you have paid for the lot in full but you do not collect the lot within the time specified by the law of the state where the auction takes place, we may charge you state sales tax for the lot. (d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6).

8. EXPORTING, IMPORTING, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES (a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot. (b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be

responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife.

E. WARRANTIES 1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

2. OUR LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows: (a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction.

After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty. (b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type. (c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified.

“Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty. (d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice. (e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion. (f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot. (g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else. (h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must (i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale. (i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. (j) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

3. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR BOOKS If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances: (a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms: (i) This additional warranty does not apply to (A) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards, or advertisements; or damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears, or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text or illustration; (B) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps, or periodicals; (C) books not identified by title; (D) lots sold without a printed estimate; (E) books that are described in the catalog as sold not subject to return; or (F) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale. (ii) To make a claim under this additional warranty, you must give written details of the defect within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale and return the lot within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale to the saleroom at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale. (iii) Paragraphs E(2)(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) also apply to a claim under this additional warranty. (c) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the additional warranty for books or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

4. JEWELRY (a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time. (b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report. (c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent.

The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report. (d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS (a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys. (b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use. (d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site.

Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap.

6. YOUR WARRANTIES You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money

F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M A G E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S . C O M 159

laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU (a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties. (b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale. (c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH. (d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services. (e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot. (f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.

G. OTHER TERMS 1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation.

2. RECORDINGS We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction.

3. COPYRIGHT We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein. You cannot use them without our prior written permission. We make no representation and offer no guarantee that the buyer of a lot will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights.

4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT If a court finds that any part of this agreement is invalid, illegal, or impossible to enforce, that part of the agreement will be treated as being deleted, and the rest of this agreement will not be affected.

5. TRANSFERRING YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES You may not grant a security over or transfer your rights or responsibilities under these terms unless we have given our written permission. This agreement will be binding on your successors or estate and anyone who takes over your rights and responsibilities.

6. PERSONAL INFORMATION We will hold and process your personal information in line with our privacy policy at www.hindmanauctions.com.

7. WAIVER No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy contained herein shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

8. LAW AND DISPUTES This agreement, and any noncontractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or any other rights you may have relating to the purchase of a lot will be governed by the laws of Illinois. You and we agree to try to settle the dispute by mediation submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in Illinois. If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days from the date when mediation is initiated, then the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Illinois, and the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.

The arbitrator shall order the production of documents only upon a showing that such documents are relevant and material to the outcome of the dispute.

The arbitration shall be confidential, except to the extent necessary to enforce a judgment or where disclosure is required by law. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on all parties involved. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. This arbitration and any proceedings conducted hereunder shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code and by the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958.
