FINE BOOKS FROM THE DORROS FAMILY COLLECTION The Dorros Family Collection has been the opera of Dr. Gerald Dorros, a pioneering internationally renowned interventional cardiologist, and a rodeo Cutting Horse World Champion. Dr. Dorros was among the initial doctors to perform a coronary angioplasty, and has taught interventional cardiology, expanded the field to include peripheral vascular interventions, has taught and written about interventional cardiology, and has operated all over the world. And while he never had rode a horse until he was 60 years of age, he diligently trained and learned, and in 2021 he won the yearlong worldwide competition of the National Cutting Horse Association’s (NCHA) Senior World Tour’s $25,000 Novice Non-Pro Class. The Dorros Family Collection reflects Dr. Dorros’ diverse interests, with strengths in the history of the American West, travel and exploration, ornithology, medicine, music, and literature. The Dorros family’s love for the American West and Wyoming is well-represented in the collection, which includes a rare early directory of Laramie City Wyoming, published in 1875 (lot 164), and the Thomas W. Streeter copies of logbooks from the Wyoming Stock Grower’s Association (lot 165). The collection also includes a very fine copy of the very rare 31-plate hand-colored issue George Catlin’s North American Indian Portfolio, which was first issued in 1844 (lot 18), as well as the crown jewel of the collection: a complete copy of Edward Sheriff Curtis’ North American Indian (lot 23). Curtis’ monumental work was published some 60 years after Catlin’s publication on the same subject; Curtis captured photographically what Catlin could only depict in lithograph. Influenced by their photographic safaris to Africa and Asia, the Dorros Family Collection includes several fine ornithological and natural history works, highlighted by copies of the Bien edition of Audubon’s Birds of America (lot 3), and Gould’s Monograph of the Trochilidae, or Family of Hummingbirds (lot 46). The family’s travels are also reflected in the fine illustrated books about India, China and Japan. Not surprisingly, the collection includes a handful of books about cardiology, medicine, and anatomy. While an undergraduate at Dartmouth College, Dr. Dorros pursued studies in comparative world literature, in addition to his Chemistry major. His literary pursuits are represented in the collection, which includes fine copies of works by James Joyce, Herman Melville, Ernest Hemingway, 00William Faulkner, and Stephen King. The family’s collection also has a focus in children’s literature, which includes numerous work and is perhaps best represented by the extensive collection of superlative copies of works illustrated by Arthur Rackham (lots 108-141). Speaking about his collection and family in 2011, Dr. Dorros remarked: “My books are open and available to my children and my grandchildren. Nothing is hidden. My library has no locked doors. But the importance and value of these books is that their ownership is not real, because we are a custodian of these valuable entities for future generations. As such, when I introduce my grandchildren to one of my illustrated books on birds, everyone must have clean hands, and be respectful. For example, when we sit down at a table with an ornithology book, I ask, ‘tell me what you see. What is the setting of the birds? Real or fictitious? How were the birds painted? And how did the artist, so long ago, get to see the birds so long that the drawings and paintings were accurate?’” The Dorros Family Collection has been central to the family since the first acquisition was made in 2000. While the collection is diverse in subject, nevertheless, it reflects the Dorros’ diverse interests and passions in learning about the history of where they lives, about birds of places they have visited, and the ideas of many of the great writers from the past.

1 ADAIR, James (1709-1783). The History of the American Indians; Particularly Those Nations Adjoining to the Mississippi, East and West Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina, and Virginia. London: Edward & Charles Dilly, 1775. 4to (267 x 210 mm). Half-title, engraved map. (Minor offsetting, marginal paper repair to map.) Early 20th-century navy crushed levant gilt, red morocco lettering-pieces, top edge gilt, the rest untrimmed, stamp-signed by Zaehnsdorf. Provenance: “A.R.” (morocco bookplate gilt). FIRST EDITION of the “best 18th-century English source on the Southern tribes, written by one who traded forty years with them” (Howes). Adair lived and traded among several tribes, including the Cherokee, Catawba, and Chickasaw. He was one of the first settlers to explore the Alleghenies, and because he lived among the Native Americans “for so long a period as forty years, [his depiction] of the peculiarities of the Southern Indians...is of great value” (Field 3). Adair “is usually considered by modern writers to be the leading authority of his day on the Indians of the Southeast” (Clark I, 28). De Renne I, 208; Howes A38; Sabin 155; Turnbull I, 194; Thornton 28. $2,000 - 3,000 2 AGEE, James (1909-1955). A Death in the Family. New York: McDowell, Obolensky, 1957. 8vo.

3 AUDUBON, John James (1785-1851). The Birds of America, from Original Drawings by John James Audubon...Reissued by J[ohn] W[oodhouse] Audubon. New York: Roe Lockwood & Son, 1860. Double elephant broadsheets (1000 x 675 mm). Lithographed title, 150 CHROMOLITHOGRAPHIC PLATES ON 105 SHEETS, some finished by hand, by Julius Bien after J. J. Audubon. (Title with vertical crease crossing text, approximately 8 plates with soft vertical crease, a few plates slightly browned, some minor mostly marginal soiling, plate I with a few minor surface abrasions and tiny portions provided in facsimile, neat repairs verso to a few corners and sheet edges occasionally just touching imprint or image, some occasional minor offsetting and spotting.) Contemporary half calf, marbled boards, spine in 7 compartments with 6 wide raised bands, gilt-lettered in 2, the rest gilt-ruled (rebacked preserving original spine, a few other repairs, some light rubbing and wear). Provenance: Small label on title-page (“E126”). THE SECOND FOLIO EDITION OF AUDUBON’S MASTERPIECE John Woodhouse Audubon set out to reproduce his father’s Birds of America in 1858 or 1859 at half the original cost by producing full-size chromolithographic reproductions of the original hand-colored aquatint plates. He intended to issue his work in 45 numbers, 44 of plates, and one of text, at a cost of $500 per subscriber. He enlisted the services of Julius Bien, a German who came to the United States following the Revolution of 1848, and whose engravings and lithographs were of the highest quality. Only the first 15 parts would be published, however; the printing was interrupted by the outbreak of the Civil War, and the project collapsed in 1861. The failure of the venture, followed shortly by the deaths of both her sons, obliged Audubon’s widow Lucy to sell her husband’s original drawings and copper plates. The New York Historical Society purchased the drawings in 1863, but after no buyer was found for the copper plates, most were melted down. The chromolithographic stones for the Bien edition were also lost when the warehouse where they were stored in New Orleans was shelled. “Although only onethird completed when the project collapsed in 1861, the Bien Audubon is the largest and most ambitious color plate book undertaken in 19th-century America, rivaled only by the folio Quadrupeds” (Reese 40). A full-size reprint of the folio Birds of America would not be completed until the Johnson Reprint Corporation’s facsimile edition was published in 1971-1973. Nevertheless, the 150 plates produced by Bien and J. W. Audubon include many of John James Audubon’s most celebrated images, including the wild turkey, the flamingo, the barn owl, and the white-headed eagle. No prospectus has been found, and the exact number of copies published is unknown: Fries located 49, but Clark and Bannon estimate the number of sets produced between 50 and 100. The present copy has a variant imprint dated 1860 but with no mention of Julius Bien; the plates are dated from 1858-1860 as usual, with most numbered with the part and series number at the upper left and the final number, corresponding with the author’s 1839 synopsis, at upper right. Ayer 24-25; Fries, Appendix B, pp.355-359; Nissen IVB 50; Reese Stamped with a National Character 40. $250,000 - 350,000 F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M AG 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 .

4 AUDUBON, John James (1785-1851). The Birds of America, from Drawings Made in the United States and their Territories. New York and Philadelphia: J.J. Audubon and J.B. Chevalier, [1839-] 1840-1844. 7 volumes, royal 8vo (258 x 161 mm). Half-titles, 500 HAND-COLORED LITHOGRAPHED PLATES after Audubon by W.E. Hitchcock, R. Trembly and others, printed and colored by J.T. Bowen, numerous wood-engraved anatomical diagrams in text. (Some minor spotting primarily to text leaves, light toning and offsetting, slight marginal staining to a few leaves, a few plates trimmed close occasionally affecting image and a few short mostly marginal tears.) Early 20th-century half brown crushed levant gilt, top edges gilt (light wear to extremities, a few minor stains to sides, a few hinges very slightly separating). FIRST OCTAVO EDITION. Audubon’s double-elephant folio edition of The Birds of America (1827-1838) established his reputation as the greatest ornithological artist of his time. Though that edition was published in London to ensure the quality of the plates, he employed the Philadelphia firm of J.T. Bowen to produce this more commercially viable edition under the close supervision of his sons whereby the folio plates were reduced by camera lucida and lithographed. This octavo edition is considered the «first and most desirable edition in this form published during the author’s lifetime, in one hundred parts» (Sabin). The original subscription price was $100, and its commercial success granted Audubon financial security. In addition to the original plate count included in the double-elephant folio edition, the octavo edition has 65 new images for a total of 500 plates, making it «the most extensive color plate book produced in America up to that time» (Reese). Ayer/Zimmer, p.22; Bennett, p.5; McGill/Wood, p.208; Nissen IVB 51; Reese 34; Sabin 2364. $30,000 - 40,000

Letter signed (“Angelo Toffoli”), Paris, 21 January 1851. To the Archbishop of Paris. -- SIBOUR, Marie-Dominique-Auguste, Archbishop of Paris. Autograph letter, Paris, 29 January 1851. To Angelo Toffoli. A draft of a response unsigned. See below. A FINE ASSOCIATION COPY. Angelo Toffoli was a member of the Venetian resistance against Austrian forces during the Revolution of 1848. The citizens of Venice fought back against Austrian occupation, all giving what they could afford to the state treasury to bolster the defense. Early in 1849, Daniele Manin was chosen president of the Republic of Venice, and Angelo Toffoli was named Minister in the new government. The defense held until 24 August 1849, when provisions and ammunition were exhausted, and Manin and his men (including Toffoli) negotiated an honorable capitulation and were granted exile and left Venice for France. Toffoli presents this token of his beloved homeland to the Archbishop of France, Marie-Dominique-Auguste Sibour, who rose to his position largely because of his prompt adhesion to the new government after the Revolution of 1848. In his letter to the Archbishop, Toffoli is grateful for the hospitable nature of the French people, and thanks the Archbishop for his sympathy. In his draft response, the Archbishop thanks Toffoli for his gift, and honors the men who honored Venice with their courage and patriotism: “Je n’avais certainement pas besoin de cela pour queue ma pensee see reporter souvenir sure l’infortunee Venise en sure less hommes qui l’our dans honoree par leur Courage, leur patriotism en leurs malheurs.” $4,000 - 6,000

Whatman 1815[-16].” “Catesby’s Natural History is the most famous colour-plate book of American plant and animal life...a fundamental and original work for the study of American species» (Hunt). Catesby studied natural sciences in London, and traveled to Virginia, returning in 1719 with an extensive collection of plants. With the encouragement of Sir Hans Sloane, Catesby returned to America, traveling to Carolina, Georgia, Florida and the Bahamas from 1722-1729. He returned to London to prepare his Natural History, which was first published in parts in 1747. Its popularity was such that a second edition was published in 1754, 5 years after Catesby’s death, under the supervision of George Edwards. The third edition of 1771, which follows Edwards revisions of the second edition, appeared in at least two issues: the first produced in 1771 with text and plates on laid paper, and the second produced later, with the text on laid paper but with the plates on Whatman wove paper (such as the present copy). Catesby was “the first to observe and depict North American birds in their natural settings, combining ornithological details with botanical ones” (Edwin Wolf 2nd, A Flock of Beautiful Birds, Philadelphia, 1977, pp.5-7).

Catlin/Piccadilly Place, 1844 [but Chatto & Windus, 1875]. Folio (560 x 433 mm). Letterpress title-page, “To the Reader” leaf, and 8 leaves of letterpress descriptions of the first 25 plates. 31 lithographed plates with hand-coloring heightened in gum arabic, mounted on card within ink-ruled border and without numbering or captions as issued. (7 mounts with marginal tears or chips, all but 2 chips present, some minor spotting or staining to a few plate mounts, plates bright.) Text: Contemporary cloth-backed wrappers (some minor spotting or staining). Text and plates laid in to original publisher’s half morocco portfolio gilt, morocco label gilt on upper cover (spine and corners expertly renewed, minor loss of cloth to upper cover); cloth folding case. THE VERY RARE 31-PLATE HAND COLORED ISSUE of the North American Indian Portfolio including SIX NEW PLATES The 6 new plates comprise: “Joc-O-Sot, the Walking Bear;” “Mah-To-Toh-Pah, the Mandan Chief;” “O-Jib-Be-Ways;” “Buffaloe Hunting;” “The War Dance;” and “The Scalp Dance”. Catlin first issued his portfolio of 25 plates in the fall of 1844. He had originally intended a larger work of four portfolios comprising 100 total plates, but financial mismanagement stalled the project and only one portfolio was issued. Shortly after its publication in 1844, Catlin sold the copyright to London publisher Henry Bohn, who kept the book in print through several reissues until the 1860s. Bohn then sold the copyright, along with his entire publishing operation, to Chatto & Windus, who discovered that Catlin had prepared 6 additional lithographic stones in 1844 which were never published. “Catlin’s North American Indian Portfolio is one of the most impressive books of Western Americana, ranking behind only the Bodmer atlas to Maximilian’s travels and the Edward Curtis portfolios in major illustrated works on the West” (Best of the West 81).

London: Printed by Assignment from Messieurs Churchill, for Thomas Osborne, 1752. Together 8 volumes, folio (345 x 214 mm). Over ## engraved maps, plates and illustrations, several double-page. (Some spotting or browning to a few quires, a few short tears to plates, a few plates trimmed close).

Churchill’s work was originally published in 4 volumes in 1704, and two additional volumes were added in the second edition of 1733. Two further volumes by Osborne adapted from materials in the library of the Earl of Oxford, known as the Harleian Voyages (comprising the 7th and 8th volumes in the present set) were added to the third edition, published in 1745. According to Sabin, Churchill’s collection “is very valuable; its place cannot be supplied by recurring to the original works, as a great part of them are first published in it from the manuscript.” The work includes the narratives of the following: Brawern and Herckemann’s voyage to Chili in 1642 and 1643; Captain John Monck’s voyage in 1619 and 1620 to Hudson’s Straits to discover a passage between Greenland and America; Nieuhoff’s voyages to Brazil and the East Indies; John Smith’s travels in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America from 1592-1629; the life of Christopher Columbus by his son; Barbot’s description of North and South Guinea; and the account of the discovery of America from Herrera’s History of the West Indies.

ORIGINS Edward Sheriff Curtis was born on a farm near Whitewater Wisconsin in 1868, and moved with his family to Minnesota in 1874. His life there, living near the Chippewa, Menominee and Winnebago tribes, piqued his interest in American Indians. While in Minnesota, he also developed an interest in photography, and at the age of 12, he built a rudimentary camera consisting of two boxes, one inside the other, based on instructions he found in Wilson’s Photographics; he became an apprentice photographer in St. Paul at age 17. Curtis’s father’s ailing health prompted the family to move to Washington Territory in 1887. In Seattle, he partnered with Rasmus Rothi in a photographic studio, acquiring a 50% share for $150. Less than a year later, he partnered with Thomas Guptill to establish a new studio, Curtis and Guptill, Photographers and Photoengravers, on Second Avenue where he was known for producing the finest photographic work in the city. While in the Pacific Northwest, Curtis became acquainted with the Native American tribes in the area. In particular, he learned about a Lushootseed woman, Kikisoblu, also known as Princess Angeline, who was the last living daughter of Chief Seattle. “When Curtis saw Angeline moving along the shore, the visible nearly dead…she looked at once like the perfect subject. There against the deep waters of Puget Sound, there with the snow-mantled Olympic Mountains framed behind her…with all of that, Curtis saw a moment from a time before any white man had looked upon these shores. He saw a person and nature, one and the same in his mind, as they belonged. A frozen image of a lost time: he must take that picture before she passed” (Timothy Egan, Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher, p.6). While photographing Mount Rainier in 1895, Curtis had a chance encounter with a lost party and guided them to refuge at Camp Muir. The party included George Bird Grinnell, then the editor of Field & Stream and an acknowledged expert on the Plains Indians, C. Hart Merriam, Chief of the U. S. Division of Biological Survey. At Merriam’s suggestion in 1899, Curtis was appointed the official photographer of the Harriman Alaska Expedition, and the following year, he accompanied Grinnell to Montana to photograph the people of the Blackfeet and Piegan tribes. Near the end of that summer, Curtis told Grinnell that his mind was set that he would embark on a plan to photograph all intact Indian communities left in North America, to “capture the essence of their lives before that essence disappeared” (Egan p.50). Curtis believed that “the record, to be of value to future generations must be ethnologically accurate” (qtd. by Egan, p.50). PUBLICATION AND SUPPORT: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN One of the early supporters of Curtis’s work was President Theodore Roosevelt, who Curtis had met through a series of encounters in 1904. Curtis and Roosevelt bonded “over their mutual interests in the outdoors and the changing American West. The two also shared the then widely accepted but mistaken belief that the Indian Nations of the U. S. were a ‘vanishing race’” (Tim Greyhavens, “Duty Bound to Finish,” 2018, p.5). “The years 1904-05 were watershed times in the development of what would become Curtis’s life-long project” (Greyhavens, p.5). Curtis gained support for his work after mounting several successful exhibitions in Seattle and New York, and by the end of 1905, Roosevelt provided Curtis with a letter of introduction to help him find financial support for the project. Curtis’s introduction to J. P. Morgan, who would become the largest financial supporter of his work, came through Morgan’s daughter Louise Satterlee, who had seen his exhibition at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York in 1905. Curtis wrote a letter to J. P. Morgan outlining plan to “make a complete publication, showing picture and including text of every phase of Indian life of all tribes yet in a primitive condition, taking up the type, male and female, child and adult, their home structure, their environment, their handicraft, games, ceremonies, etc.; dividing the whole into twenty volumes containing fifteen hundred full page plates, the text to treat the subject much as the pictures do, going fully into their history, life and manners, ceremony, legends and mythology, treating it in rather a broad way so that it will be scientifically

accurate, yet if possible, interesting reading” (qtd. in Greyhavens, p.9). Morgan offered $75,000 for a series on the North American Indian, to contain 1,500 photographs in 20 volumes, and in return, he was to receive 25 complete sets of the work and 300 original photographs. The first two volumes appeared in 1907 and 1908, and immediately “the acclaim was seismic. In appearance and texture, the books were among the most luxurious ever printed” (Egan p.154). The images, printed in sepia tones from acid-etched copper plates produced by John Andrew & Son in Boston and printed by the Cambridge University Press, “were better than fine oil paintings” (Egan p.154). The New York Times acclaimed “nothing just like it has ever before been attempted for any people. He has made text and pictures interpret each other, and both together present a more vivid, faithful and comprehensive view of the North American Indian as he is to-day than has ever been made or can possibly made again…In artistic value the photogravures are worthy of very great praise. They are beautiful reproductions of photographs that in themselves are works of art” (qtd. in Egan, p.154). In late 1909, noticing the financial deficits of Curtis’s project, Morgan directed that a new enterprise be formed. The newly-formed organization, North American Indian Company, would manage the finances and business side of Curtis’s work. After J. P. Morgan’s death in 1913, his son continued the family’s financial support of the project, ultimately providing at least half of the $1.5 million it took to complete the work. Though Curtis had received funding from other sources, the cost of the project, in part due to his failure to sell subscriptions, as well as debt from his divorce, crippled his business. By 1928, desperate for cash, Curtis sold the rights to his project to Morgan. In 1930, shortly following the publication of the final volume of The North American Indian, the North American Indian Company went bankrupt. In 1935, the Morgan family sold nearly everything related to The North American Indian to Charles Lauriat Books in Boston for $1,000 plus a percentage of future royalties. LEGACY: “A BROAD AND LUMINOUS PICTURE” Of the 500 planned sets, an estimated 272 were finished. “Only in recent years has the scope and depth of Curtis’s scholarship come to be appreciated. The North American Indian, the monumental work of a self-educated man, ‘almost certainly constitutes the largest anthropological enterprise ever undertaken’” according to Mick Gidley (Egan p.322). In all, Curtis took more than 40,000 photographs, recorded over 10,000 songs, wrote down vocabularies and pronunciation guides for 75 languages, and transcribed an untold number of myths, rituals, and religious stories from oral histories. Edward Curtis never profited from the production of his expansive and comprehensive publication, and lost his friends and marriage to his obsession, but “he always believed his words and pictures would come to life long after he’d passed – the artist’s lasting reward of immortality. A young man with an unlived-in face found his calling in the faces of a continent’s forgotten people, and in so doing, he not only saw history, but made it” (Egan p.325). “Many Native Americans Curtis photographed called him Shadow Catcher. But the images he captured were far more powerful than mere shadows. The men, women, and children in The North American Indian seem as alive to us today as they did when Curtis took their pictures in the early part of the twentieth century. Curtis respected the Native Americans he encountered and was willing to learn about their culture, religion and way of life. In return the Native Americans respected and trusted him. When judged by the standards of his time, Curtis was far ahead of his contemporaries in sensitivity, tolerance, and openness to Native American cultures and ways of thinking” (Laurie Lawlor, Shadow Catcher: The Life and Work of Edward S. Curtis, p.6). His life-work, The Native American Indian, stands as a monument of American photography and illustrated-book production. References: Howes C-965; Truthful Lens 40.

London: T. Gardner for Edward Cave, 1738-1741. 2 volumes, folio (395 x 241 mm). 64 engraved plates, plans and maps after J. B. B-d’Anville and others, by E. Bowen, J Basire, G. Child, R. W. Seale and others (42 folding, including the large general map in vol. I). (Small hole in the Map of Yun-Nan, p.122 of vol. I, affecting one line of latitude, some light spotting, a few quires slightly browned). Contemporary sprinkled calf (rebacked possibly preserving old morocco lettering-pieces gilt, hinges starting, some light rubbing); morocco-tipped slipcases. Second edition in English, considered the best English edition, expanding on the first English edition of 1736 which only contained 20 maps and plates. Du Halde’s encyclopedic survey is considered the first definitive book on the Chinese Empire, and it became a prime source of the new fashion of chinoiserie. The engravings comprise 42 general and regional maps and 22 plates depicting costume, scenes from court life, and smaller town plans. Though Du Halde never visited China himself, he “has drawn his materials from a variety of sources, especially from the printed and manuscript accounts of the missionaries” (Lowndes 693). The maps are based on Jesuit surveys conducted between 1708 and 1718. In addition to its information on China, this edition of Du Halde’s work is notable for its information on Alaska. “An Account of the Travels of Capt. Beerings, into Siberia” (volume II, pp.382-384), details Bering’s 1728 voyage through the eponymous straits; the double-page “A Map of Capt. Beering’s Travels from Tobolsk to Kamtschatka” (volume II, pp.382-383) is based on Bering’s manuscript map, which was given to the King of Poland and which is reproduced here. The “General Map of Tibet” called for in the “Directions” on the last page of vol. II was intended to serve as the template for the nine separate sheets of maps of Tibet, but was apparently never published. Cordier Sinica I, 50; Cox I:355; Lada-Mocarski 2. $8,000 - 12,000

According to Fowler, the “date of publication of the various books is difficult to establish...The plates were reissued time and again with little or no change except for the addition of plates numbers. All the copies examined vary slightly in the number and arrangement of the plates.” [Uniformly bound with:] FALDA, Giovanni Battista (1648-1678).

According to Abbey, Hall’s work was met with enthusiasm by the Edinburgh Review: “We do not know when we have met with a more pleasing work than this delightful account of the people of Loo-Choo... [It] makes us proud of our country, and puts us in good humour with our species.” Abbey Travel, 558; Cordier Sinica, 3009. $1,000 - 1,500

On his return to the United States, he produced several series of prints: a group of 6 elephant folio prints in 1855, and the present work in 1856. For his works, he employed Sarony, probably the best lithography firm in the United States at the time. Copies were produced on regular paper and in the deluxe form, as the present copy.

59 JOYCE, James (1882-1941). A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. New York: B.W. Huebsch, 1916. 8vo. Original blind-stamped blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt (spine ends and joints slightly rubbed, spine slightly soiled). FIRST EDITION OF JOYCE’S FIRST PUBLISHED NOVEL, which appeared in serial form in The Egoist from February 1914 to September 1915. 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). New York publisher B. W. («Ben») Huebsch was the only publisher daring enough to publish Joyce›s novel unexpurgated in 1916. In England, it was rejected by twelve publishers, and the English edition was not published until 1917. Slocum and Cahoon A11. $2,000 - 3,000

FIRST EDITION, LIMITED ISSUE, an unnumbered copy of an edition of 800 copies SIGNED BY JOYCE. Anna Livia Plurabelle, Chapter I of Finnegans Wake, was published in translation in November 1927 prior to the present separate publication. The chapter, named after its heroine Anna Livia Plurabelle, includes some of the Wake’s most lyrical passages and was considered by Joyce to be the most beautiful section of Finnegans Wake. He incorporated nearly 350 river names into the text, and was “prepared, he said, ‘to stake everything’ on this section of his book” (Ellman 598). Slocum and Cahoon A32. $1,500 - 2,500

In his last book he forced it to accept a new area of being and a new language” (Ellmann James Joyce, p.717). “Joyce insisted that each word, each sentence had several meanings and that the ‘ideal lecteur’ should devote his lifetime to it, like the Koran” (Connolly The Modern Movement 87).

Title printed in red and black with engraved vignette, engraved head- and tail-pieces; 27 engraved plates printed in sepia by Luca Ciamberlino after drawings by Berrettini PRINTED ON BLUE PAPER. (Title-page soiled with slight marginal chipping; dustsoiling to a few leaves, some light spotting, small wormtrack to last few leaves affecting two plates.) Later vellum (a few tears to pastedowns). Second edition, A BLUE PAPER COPY. Berrettini was one of the most influential painters of the Italian Baroque. He began his anatomical drawings in 1618, and they were engraved by Luca Ciamberlano. The plates remained unpublished for 123 years, and were not first published until 1741. By that point, they had been “improved” with intrusive and distracting figures. Francesco Petraglia removed the figures which had been added, returning them to a state more closely resembling Berrettini’s original drawings.

(Marginal wormhole to first few leaves not touching text or plates, a few short tears occasionally crossing into image, small repairs to a few folding plates, some light offsetting.) Contemporary mottled calf (rebacked preserving original spine, some light wear). Second edition in Latin. The large plates, originally designed for Bidloo’s Anatomia in 1685, were drawn by Gerard de Lairesse, a painter who rivaled Rembrandt in his time. Bidloo’s text was widely criticized, however, and after English surgeon William Cowper obtained the plates to Bidloo’s work, he arranged to supply an entirely new text to accompany a reissue. Cowper first issued his work in English in 1698, and the first edition in Latin was published in 1739. “The most elaborate and beautiful of all 17th century English treatises on anatomy and also one of the most extraordinary plagiarism in the history of medicine” (Garrison-Morton 385.1, describing the 1698 edition).

Ball (early signatures, Erie, Pennsylvania). FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, published approximately one month after the English edition. “Mardi was originally intended as a factual South Seas adventure story....inspired by the many attacks upon the veracity of Typee and Omoo. As the story progressed, however, he began to slide increasingly into satire and metaphysical speculation... The resulting book revealed the first blossoming of the intellectual growth and spiritual searching that would shape Melville’s later works” (Life and Works of Herman Melville).

Original green blind-stamped cloth (a few ink stains to lower cover and fore-edge, hinges starting, lightly rubbed, spine sunned); slipcase. FIRST EDITION. With the exception of “The Piazza,” all of the short stories in The Piazza Tales had previously appeared in Putnam’s Monthly between 1853-1855, the most notable among them being “Bartleby the Scrivener,” now a classic of American short fiction. The Piazza Tales did little to rescue Melville from his slide into obscurity. It is unlikely that he earned any royalties from the publication of this book, which likely helped drive its American publisher out of business. The present copy is missing signature mark 14 (no priority established). BAL 13669. $1,000 - 1,500

FIRST EDITION of the full orchestral score, one of 50 or fewer copies printed, preceded by the piano-vocal score, published in Vienna 1790 and in Berlin in 1793. Così fan tutte was the last of Mozart›s collaborations with Italian librettist Lorenzo da Ponte, who wrote the libretto for The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni. “Da Ponte’s libretto is a marvel of witty, concise, and symmetrical dramatic construction... In the music, all the conflicting stains of mockery and tenderness, of sincerity and inconstancy, are fully reconciled. Delicious in its parody, ravishing in its lyricism, Così holds laughter and sympathy in a perfect equilibrium that...celebrates ‹the mystery of feeling itself›» (Zaslaw and Cowdery, 64-65). Così fan tutte was largely underappreciated until the 20th century, regarded by contemporary audiences as «a heartless farce clothed in miraculous music» (Grove, Opera, p.967).

FIRST EDITION OF THE FULL ORCHESTRAL SCORE. Il Trovatore, first performed in 1853, has remained one of Verdi’s most popular operas. Verdi and his librettist, Cammarano, originally intended to attempt a setting of Shakespeare’s King Lear as a follow-up to Rigoletto, but never completed the work. Verdi suggested Cammarano look at Spanish playwright García Guttiérrez’s El trovador, which he considered to be “’very beautiful, imaginative and full of strong situations.’ The composer bullied the writer into adapting the play into something that would give him the maximum of creative leeway: ‘the more he provides me with the originality and freedom of form the better I shall be able to do.’ the end product...is packed with crowd-pleasing solo turns, bit chrouses, thrilling climaxes and complex ensemble finales” (Boyden 225-6).

Third edition, preceded by the first illustrated edition of Ogilby’s translation of 1651. While the title-page states the “Second edition,” this is the third since the stock of the original second edition of 1665 was lost in the Great Fire of 1666. Ogilby “bounced back in 1668, not merely with a reprinted of Aesop Paraphras’d (1665), but with the addition of three fresh works in the same volume” (Hodnett, Five Centuries, p. 60). Aesopic’s includes an additional 50 Aesopian tales as well as a retelling of the tales of Androcleus and The Ephesian Matron. “To call these versions paraphrases is misleading... they are original treatments of familiar themes. Ogilby gives free play to his imagination as he retells the fables with so many amplifications of homely detail and classical allusions” (Hodnett, Francis Barlow: First Master of English Book Illustration, p. 77-79). While engravers Wenceslaus Hollar, Josiah English, and Dirck Stoop contributed to the illustrations of this edition, Ogilby’s neighbor, Francis Barlow assisted him with this republication of the second edition by designing about half the plates. “The great difference between Barlow’s designs and those of his predecessors... is the extraordinary accuracy with which he recorded the appearance and movements of his animals and birds and the immense dignity that he bestowed on them.... in one crucial respect, Barlow is supreme among Aesopian fable illustrators - both animals and humans are always interacting, always expressive, always physically and emotionally involved in the action” (Hodnett, Five Centuries, p. 55).

Collected from most Authentick Authors, Augmented with later Observations, and Adorn’d with maps and Sculptures, by John Ogilby. London: Printed by the Author, 1671. Folio (408 x 255 mm). Engraved allegorical title, letterpress title printed in red and black. 56 engraved plates comprising: 6 portraits, 20 engraved doublepage maps and 30 double-page views; 66 engraved illustrations in text; woodcut initials, head- and tail-pieces. (Without the “Arx Carolina” view [see below], title-page and allegorical title with repaired tears crossing letters and bound in on stubs, a few maps with separations to folds or short tears, some browning and a few light stains, some offsetting from in-text engravings.) Contemporary calf gilt, spine gilt, morocco lettering-pieces gilt (old rebacking, hinges starting, some wear). FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH, second issue, without the “Arx Carolina” plate, and with the Lords Proprietor’s map and a map of Barbados. In place of the “Arx Carolina” plate (depicting the castle on the French settlement at present Paris Island) is Moxon’s map of Carolina, A New Discription of Carolina By Order of the Lords Proprietors (known as «The First Lords Proprietors Map»). The map was based on a manuscript map by philosopher John Locke, and is the first largeformat map of the newly-settled Carolina colony. Also in the present copy is a copy of the Virginia pars Australis map found in copies of the first issue. Ogilby’s text is, in part, a translation of Montanus’s De Nieuwe en Onbekende Weereld, with numerous additions about New England, New France, Maryland and Virginia from more reliable sources. He includes a short section, “New Netherland, now call’d New York,” which recounts the transfer of sovereignty from the Netherlands to England in 1664. Most of the plates were reprinted from the original Dutch atlas plates. One notable exception is the map of Maryland, Nova Terrae-Mariae tabula, also known as the “Lord Baltimore Map,” likely based on John Smith’s 1612 map of Virginia, which was first published in London in 1635 to accompany the fourth tract of the founding of Maryland by Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore. Ogilby’s version is a close derivative of that map, differentiated by the placement of a coat-of-arms on the right.

Perry, appointed by Congress to a diplomatic relationship with Japan, embarked in 1852 on a three-year mission of discovery. “As one of the chief diplomatic achievements of the 19th century, the opening of Japan (by the treaty negotiated by Perry) will long make the name of Perry memorable.... In June 1855 Perry was ordered to Washington, where his chief duty for more than a year was the preparation of a report of his expedition, which was published by the government in 1856” (DAB). His mission resulted in the signing of the treating opening Japan to the West. Perry’s “visit contributed to the collapse of the feudal regime and to the modernization of Japan” (Hill).

The photographs taken on these journeys form one of the most extensive photographic surveys of any region taken in the nineteenth century.

Naturalist William Bartram encouraged him to cultivate his interest, and in 1807, Wilson secured an editorial position with Philadelphia publisher Samuel Bradford, who he persuaded to finance his monumental American Ornithology. Many of the plates were engraved by Alexander Lawson. Wilson died before the final three volumes of his work were published, and George Ord completed the text for the work. A decade later, Charles Bonaparte issued his sequel to Wilson’s work. Bonaparte’s work included the first published bird plate from a drawing by John James Audubon (Plate IV, the female great crow-blackbird). Wilson’s work, along with Bonaparte’s, established the foundation for the study of birds in America.

Triggs spent 12 years on the plains and in the Rocky Mountains. His history of the region begins “from the day of first settlement in April of 1868. It has long been recognized by students of western history as probably the most honest, outspoken, and vivid account of the early and turbulent days. Laramie was famous for its disorder, crime, and rapid growth. Triggs describes the horde that first came in as made up of one-fifth honest and daring men, the balance ‘were gamblers, thieves, highwaymen, robbers, cut-throats, garroters, prostitutes, and their necessary companions.’ The narrative describes the ensuing mass-meeting to form a government; its organization and collapse; the reign of violence; the formation of the Vigilance Committee government; the battles between the Vigilantes and the new police and succeeding events, until finally the Territorial legislature in desperation, took away the city’s charter, and put the community under the jurisdiction of the Federal courts” (Eberstadt 136:667h).

To deal with potential ownership problems resulting from these births, the Association rounded up any unmarked stray cattle, called “mavericks,” at the end of each year and sold them at auction to benefit the Association. At the end of the logbook for Round Up No. 5 in 1885 is a biographical note in green ink about foreman James C. Shaw: with a manuscript note at end: “James C. Shaw was a native of Georgetown, Texas.

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.

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.

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.

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. 1 0 8 F I N E B O O K S F R O M T H E D O R R O S F A M I LY C O L L E C T I O N
(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 109
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.
