PROPERTY FROM THE JAMES MILGRAM, M.D., COLLECTION OF Broadsides, EphemeralAmericana, and Historical Documents

404-634

Dr. James W. Milgram is the son of two physicians, Drs. Joseph E. Milgram and Altabelle Willard Milgram. He grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where his father was the first “Chair” of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the Hospital for Joint Diseases, now NYU. Milgram earned his undergraduate degree at Columbia University and attended medical school at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is now a retired Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, Northwestern University Medical School. Dr. Milgram and his wife Carol currently reside in Lake Forest, Illinois, and have four grown sons. A collector since high school, Dr. Milgram has amassed an impressive collection of pre-1900 covers and letters from the United States while also assembling the unparalleled collection of broadsides and ephemera offered here. He has written over 650 articles on postal history and 8 books including Federal Civil War Postal History and American Illustrated Letter Stationary 1819-1899 Dr. Milgram remains an active collector and is a senior member of the Collectors Club of Chicago.

The collection presented here comprises an important assemblage of printed ephemeral Americana, much of which was never meant to be kept, much less survive to the present-day. The broadsides, posters, drawings and sale-bills were designed to be seen on the street, hung in shop windows, tacked to walls and streetlamp poles, or handed out directly at a time when printed newspapers were the primary means by which Americans learned of local and national news. Frequently, these broadsides were printed by newspaper publishers as “Extras” to share breaking news. Unlike newspapers, which were frequently unillustrated until late in the 19th century, broadsides featured dramatic eye-catching typography often accompanied by large illustrations. The Milgram Collection of broadsides and ephemeral Americana includes many rare and important examples of these striking displays. These rare ephemeral productions were the means by which Americans acquired news about national and local happenings, including politics, declarations of war, funerals, auctions, rallies, and train and steamer schedules. These broadside printings were typeset and inked on the printer’s press. Rare survivals from an era when the most important news was printed to be publicly posted and then discarded are included in this exceptional and historically significant collection, one of the most comprehensive to ever be presented for sale at auction.

ADAMS, John (1735-1826). Document signed (“John Adams”), as President of the United States, to Elizabeth FEBIGER, widow of Revolutionary War commander Colonel Christian FEBIGER. Washington, DC, 17 May 1799.

A land grant of 1,500 acres made to Elizabeth Febiger, widow of the late Colonel Christian Febiger, under the auspices of the 1790 “Act to enable the Officers and Soldiers of the Virginia Line on Continental Establishment to obtain titles to certain lands lying north-west of the River Ohio, between the Little Miami and Sciota.” Signed by President Adams and Secretary of State Timothy Pickering (1745-1829).

Colonel Hans Christian “Old Denmark” Febiger (1749-1795/6) was a commander in the Revolutionary War, seeing most of the major conflicts. He was a confidant of George Washington and a founding member of the Society of the Cincinnati.

Born in Denmark he immigrated to New England and joined a Massachusetts regiment at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, distinguishing himself at

the Battle of Bunker Hill on 17 June 1775. While on General Benedict Arnold’s ill-fated Canadian expedition in late 1775, he was taken captive but was exchanged sometime in 1776. By 13 November 1776, he was appointed as Lieutenant Colonel of the Virginia Line. He was promoted after the Battle of Brandywine (PA) to colonel of the 2nd Virginia regiment.

He saw further action at the Battle of Germantown (PA), led 4,000 troops at the Battle of Monmouth (NJ), and personally captured the British commander at the Battle of Stony Point (NY). When not in the field, he also oversaw commissariat duties for the Continental Army at Philadelphia. He was also present at the Battle of Yorktown and the surrender of General Cornwallis. He retired from active service at the beginning of 1783 and was brevetted brigadier general on 30 September 1787, though he preferred to retain his title of “Colonel.” After the war, Colonel Febiger settled in Philadelphia and was named Treasurer of Pennsylvania, a role in which he served until his death.

[POSTAL HISTORY]. PICKERING, Timothy (1745-1829). Document twice signed (“Timothy Pickering”) for Levi PEASE (1740-1824), as Postmaster General. N,p., 4 September 1794.

The first two pages are a partly printed contract appointing Levi Pease as a mail carrier with stipulations of his duties including penalties for not delivering the mail on schedule. The second page, entirely in manuscript, details the Pease’s schedule for both summer and winter, with stops around Massachusetts and New York.

Levi Pease (1740-1824), considered “the Father of New England StageCoaching” established a weekly stage line between New York and Boston in 1783. By the time of this contract, the line was daily. “The stagecoach mail system had evolved into an operation where the postmaster general in Washington was the overseer of the whole enterprise, while the actual mail routes were contracted out to individual stage line owners. It was thus largely a series of private enterprises monitored by the federal government.” (Holmes & Rohrbach, Stagecoach East, p. 118).

Timothy Pickering, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, was appointed by President Washington as Postmaster General on 12 August 1791. Pickering would serve briefly as Secretary of War before he was appointed as the third Secretary of State. He continued his political career in the 19th century representing Massachusetts.

[POLITICS]. A group of 2 broadsides from Oneida County, New York in April 1809, incl. Republicans, Attend! and To the Electors of Ontario.

Republicans, Attend! [Palmyra, Ontario, NY]: N.p., 1809. Visible 10 1/16 x 11 1/2 in. Signed in type by William Rogers and Abraham Gallop. -- To the Electors of Ontario. [Ontario County, NY]: N.p., 21 April 1809. Visible approx. 10 x 11 1/2 in. Signed in type by James Piatt and “An Elector.” -- Together, 2 broadsides framed together to 27 x 15 in. (not examined out of frame).

Two broadsides from Ontario County, New York publishing testimonies from prominent citizens regarding Philetus Swift who is accused by Federalists to have expressed that he “had rather Bonaparte should govern this country than the leading Federalists.”

In Republicans Attend!, William Rogers and Abraham Gallop respond to a handbill issued by Polydore B. Wisner which published the accusation of Swift’s preference for French rule. Rogers and Gallop both attest that this was “an attempt...to injure the character of Philetus Swift, and for electioneering purposes...We now declare that we have no recollection of his ever making any such expression, and we further state, that we are and have been for a long time intimately acquainted with Philetus Swift, and have never heard him express any more partiality for Bonaparte than George the Third, or any other Foreign Despot.”

The second broadside, To the Electors of Ontario, is written in direct response to the first, calling into question the testimony of Rogers and Gallop by noting that their affidavit was not “sworn” but only “taken and subscribed.” They

then publish their own “sworn” affidavit by James Piatt attesting that “he perfectly recollects, that in conversation at that time, concerning a French Party in this country, this deponent heard the said Philetus Swift say, HE HAD RATHER BONAPARTE SHOULD GOVERN THIS COUNTRY THAN THE LEADING FEDERALISTS.”

An interesting reflection on the anxieties of foreign invasion and rule within the context of early American politics. RARE: No other known copies, and particularly remarkable to have the companion pieces. $300 - 400

Visible 10 1/4 x 17 1/4 in.; matted and framed to 13 1/8 x 20 in. Signed in type “A Piece of Hickory.”

A broadside almost certainly published in 1863 in the context of President Lincoln’s Habeus Corpus Suspension Act, signed into law on 3 March 1863. The two columns here recount the arrest of Judge Dominick A. Hall of New Orleans by General Andrew Jackson, a case in which habeus corpus is central. Judge Hall granted the writ of habeus corpus to E. Louis Louillier, then arrested and held by General Jackson. Jackson in turn arrested Judge Hall on charges of exciting mutiny in the occupied city of New Orleans. Although Hall was eventually released and Jackson was fined $1000, the broadside noted that in 1842, Congress reimbursed Jackson with interest. The broadside, in support of Jackson and Lincoln’s Act, concludes: “Nine years after, this ‘military despot,’ who made the “arbitrary arrest,” was elected President by the Democracy.”

A political cartoon satirizing Van Buren’s lack of support for his second attempt at Presidential re-election, published prior to the 1844 Democratic National Convention. Van Buren, known as the “Kinderhook Fox” is shown as a fox being pulled into a Salt River, a representation of failure, by Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and other Whig opponents. Clay taunts, “Wake up, Matty this is only the Sober second thought of the people”, a reference to the catchphrase of the 1840 election “sober second thoughts”, referring to the desertion of Van Buren’s working-class supporters. On the other bank, Van Buren’s Democratic supporters, incumbent President Tyler, Tyler’s poet son Robert, and Senator Thomas Hart Benton, tumble after pulling off his tail.

Lithograph with hand-coloring, [1848], sheet 11 1/8 x 16 in., on wove paper, framed to 16 1/2 x 21 1/2 in.

Published in the lead-up to the 1848 Whig National Convention where the party’s main contenders for the presidential nomination were Generals Zachary Taylor (1784-1850) or Winfield Scott (1786-1866). A figure, probably a combination of the two generals, is depicted in caricature wearing a comically ostentatious plumed hat, his military uniform, and grasping a sword while seated upon a large pile of skulls. The cartoon is a criticism of the Whig party’s choice of a popular military general with unclear political beliefs, over the ideals of the party, embodied by stalwarts like Henry Clay and Daniel Webster.

[US EXPANSION]. RIVAS, Patricio (1810-1867). Nicaragua. Decree. New Orleans, LA: Delta Steam Job Print, November 1855.

12 x 18 7/8 in. letterpress broadside; framed to 16 1/8 x 22 7/8 in. Signed in type by Patricio Rivas, President of the Republic. Later, unrelated pencil inscription dated 1886.

In the 1850s, Nicaragua served as a major thoroughfare for US shipping between the east and west coasts as the transcontinental railroads were not yet a reality. Ships would sail up the San Juan River from the Atlantic, cross Lake Nicaragua, then take stagecoaches at Rivas to the Pacific coast. In 1854, a civil war broke out in Nicaragua between the Legitimist (Conservative) Party based in Granada and the Democratic (Liberal) Party based in Léon. American William Walker (1824-1860), motivated by economic control of the shipping route as well as the concept of American “manifest destiny”, contracted with the Democratic president Francisco Castellón to bring a group of “colonists” who were in reality mercenaries. Walker’s expeditionary force defeated the Legitimist army. On 13 October 1855, he had conquered Granada, from where this decree was issued, and took effective control over the government, ruling as a shadow president through provision President Patricio Rivas, who’s name is signed in type on this broadside.

This broadside was intended for an American audience to “encourage the immigration of persons of thrift and industry, to become settlers and inhabtants [sic].” It is unclear how many became “Colonists” as Walker’s regime remained short-lived. Walker’s government was recognized by President Franklin Pierce on 20 May 1856, however, Costa Rica and other armies took action against the “Filibusters”. By 1 May 1857 Walker had capitulated.

A broadside published in the lead-up to the 1860 presidential election, issued before Lincoln’s nomination at the 1860 Republican National Convention in May.

The Republican party was originally a coalition of ex-Whigs, ex-Free Soilers, and others opposed to slavery formed in 1854. Though they lost the 1856 election, in part to a split vote with Know Nothing and Whig coalition candidate Millard Fillmore, they gained political ground in congressional and local elections. The party was electrified in preparation for the 1860 election, with the party organizing political meetings across the county, such as the one advertised here.

A political cartoon published during the 1860 presidential election. Republican candidate Lincoln is seated upon a rail labeled “Republican platform”, a dual allusion to his frontier origins and the Republican anti-slavery platform.

14 x 20 7/8 in.; framed to 19 x 26 in. Signed (anachronistically) in type by August Belmont of New York and Willis A. Gorman of Minnesota.

An anti-Stephen Douglas broadside published during the hotly contested fourway 1860 presidential election, the piece lampoons the fragmented Democratic Party. Written as though issued by the Democratic Party Chairman August Belmont and prominent Democrat and former Minnesota Territorial Governor Willis A. Gorman, the text proclaims “’Boy’ Lost!” with a list of various cities, all in the North, where he had been seen. It continues: “From some expressions he has dropped, it is feared that he has become insane upon a subject he calls ‘Popular Sovereignty.’” The lambasting continues with an unflattering description of his physical appearance and his personality: “Answers to the name of ‘Little Giant.’ Talks a great deal, and very loud; ALWAYS ABOUT HIMSELF. HAS AN IDEA THAT HE IS A CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY.”

Possibly issued by Southern Democrats who refused to acknowledge the proUnion Stephen Douglas as the Democratic nominee and put forward John C. Breckinridge as their own candidate.

Lithograph, [1864], sheet 15 3/4 x 12 1/2 in., on wove paper, framed to 22 1/2 x 16 1/2 in.

The Democratic candidate of the 1864 election and Union General George B. McClellan is depicted sitting in a saddle on the spanker boom of the U.S.S. Galena during the Battle of Malvern Hill which took place on 1 July 1862. McClellan looks through a spyglass at his battling troops on shore quipping: “Fight my brave Soldiers and push the enemy to the wall, from this spanker boom your beloved General looks down upon you.” The cartoon lampoons the fact that General McClellan was not present during the opening exchanges at the Battle of Malvern Hill where his troops were routed, having taken the Galena to inspect Harrison’s Landing. It also recalls the Battle of Drewry’s Bluff in May 1862, when the Galena was forced to retreat under accurate fire from the Confederate Fort Darling.

7 7/8 x 9 15/16 in. (200 x 253 mm) printed broadside (some brown staining at corners, mostly to verso); matted and framed to 10 5/8 x 12 5/8 in. (affixed to mat on verso). Stamped “I.W.M.” to verso. Signed in type by L.C. Baker, Colonel and Agent War Department.

A COPY OF THE “COMMON COUNCIL” REWARD BROADSIDE, THE EARLIEST AND RAREST OF THE LINCOLN ASSASSINATION REWARD BROADSIDES.

Issued in the immediate aftermath of Lincoln’s assassination by Colonel Lafayette C. Baker (1826-1868). Baker was contacted by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton on 15 April by telegram to immediately take control of the hunt for the assassins. Baker, who had been in New York, arrived in Washington the next morning and after a meeting with Stanton, issued this extraordinary handbill detailing the reward: “The Common Council of Washington, DC, have offered a reward of $20,000 for the arrest and conviction of these Assassins, in addition to which I will pay $10,000.” The extra $10,000 was offered on Baker’s own account, as authorized by the War Department. The handbill also gives highly detailed descriptions of John Wilkes Booth and Lewis Payne, who had attempted to assassinate Secretary of State William H. Seward, though not identified by name.

Very shortly after the issuance of this handbill, the United States government authorized the reward to be increased to $100,000 for the capture of Booth and additional conspirators John Surratt, Jr. and David Herold. The prize grew even further when states and private individuals and companies increased the sum.

After hiding in the forests of Maryland, Booth and Herold found brief refuge in Virginia at a farm of a family unaware of the assassination. They were found by Lieutenant Edward P. Doherty and a detachment of 26 soldiers on 26 April 1865. While Herold surrendered, Booth refused. The troops set the barn he was in on fire, and was shot by Sergeant Boston Corbett who claimed he saw Booth drawing his weapon. Corbett and the other soldiers each received $1,653.85 of the promised reward. The rest was contested with Baker, Doherty, and two other officers receiving larger portions. For a detailed analysis of the rewards, see Robert G. Wick’s “Battle for the War Department Rewards for the Capture of John Wilkes Booth.” Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association. Vol. 32, No. 2. September 2011, pp. 1-15 (http://hdl.handle.net/2027/spo.2629860.0032.203).

Visible 9 1/2 x 20 5/8 in.; framed to 10 3/4 x 21 3/4 in. Signed in type by L.B. Handley, Special Commissioner of the LaRue Circuit Court.

In November 1894, New York entrepreneur Alfred W. Dennett purchased 110 acres of the Sinking Spring Farm in LaRue County, Kentucky, the site of Abraham Lincoln’s birth. A year later, he purchased a nearby log cabin, which was spuriously reported to contain some of the logs of the original Lincoln cabin. By 1901, Dennett filed for bankruptcy, but in an effort to protect his investment he conveyed ownership of the farm and cabin to David Crear.

In May 1905, however, as noted on this broadside, the LaRue Circuit Court adjudicated that the transfer to Crear was fraudulent and ordered the sale of the farm by commissioner sale. That sale is advertised in this broadside, which includes the details of the auction, the description of the land, and the terms. The site would be purchased by the Lincoln Farm Association with aid of Robert Collier, publisher of Collier’s Weekly

A pardon signed by President Johnson for Willard Boynton of Stewart County, Georgia for “taking part in the late rebellion against the government.” Willard Blood Boynton (1801-1866) is listed in the census records as a farmer in Stewart County, Georgia with no record as having served in the War. Boynton was an enslaver, with the 1830 census recording 19 enslaved people, and the 1840 census showing 11. The document here specifies that Boynton “shall hereafter, at any time, acquire any property whatever in slaves, or make use of slave labor.”. $800 - 1,200

Partly printed military commission conferring the rank of second lieutenant in the Veteran Reserve Corps to Edward B. Rossiter as of 28 October 1864. Signed by President Johnson and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton (1814-1869).

Rossiter was a 26-year-old carpenter from Boston when he enlisted as a sergeant on 26 June 1861. On the same day, he was mustered into Company C of the 12th Massachusetts, known as “Webster Regiment” as it was originally commanded by Colonel Fletcher Webster, son of Daniel Webster. They engaged in picket duty in the Army of the Shenandoah, but engaged in the Battle of Antietam, losing 67% of its strength, the highest percentage casualty rate of any Union regiment. Rossiter appears to not have been one of the 224 casualties at Antietam, however, he was wounded in action a few months later at Fredericksburg on 13 December 1862. On 1 July 1863, he transferred to Company H of the 13th Infantry Veteran Reserve Corps, reenlisted on 25 April 1864, and as this document confirms, he was promoted to second lieutenant on 7 November 1864.

[WAR OF 1812]. “We have met the Enemy and they are Ours.” Com. M’Donough’s Victory. N.p.: N.p., ca 1814.

10 11/16 x 17 7/8 in. letterpress broadside; framed to 17 x 25 3/8 in. Signed in type “Zephri” and “M.A.” An illustrated broadside commemorating the victories of Commodore Thomas Macdonough, Jr. (1783-1825) during the Lake Champlain campaign and the pivotal Battle of Plattsburgh.

At the beginning of the War, the British were able to destroy the only two American vessels on Lake Champlain. Knowing the strategic importance of the waterway, Macdonough rapidly began construction on the corvette Saratoga, the new sloop Eagle, and additional gunboats. The schooner Ticonderoga was also converted into a 17-gun warship. With this new fleet and a shrewd analysis of British tactics, the Commodore forced the Royal Navy back into Canada and progressed to the strategically important Plattsburgh, New York. In the Battle of Plattsburgh (6-11 September 1814), Macdonough successfully outmaneuvered the 36-gun British Flagship HMS Confiance, forcing her surrender, killing the British Commodore George Downie in the process, and then proceeding to capture the largest ships in the Royal Navy.

Here, nine stanzas rejoice over Macdonough’s victories, drawing parallels between the “Hero of Lake Champlain” to Oliver Hazard Perry the “Hero of Lake Erie” in the title and first stanza: “O freemen! raise a joyous strain! Aloft the Eagle towers, ‘We’ve met the enemy’ again - Again have made them ‘OURS!’” A short biography of Commodore Macdonough is included, highlighting his naval experience in the first Barbary War.

(broadside affixed at 3 points to mat). Ink inscription to verso: “Dec. 23, 1870”. Provenance: Richard Frajola (related by consignor).

THE FIRST CONFEDERATE IMPRINT.

FIRST EDITION broadside of the broadside printed a mere 15 minutes after the unanimous vote of the South Carolina legislature to secede with the bold proclamation, “The Union is Dissolved.” (Sabin 87439). Announcing that the ordinance “passed unanimously at 1.15 o’clock, P.M., December 20th, 1860” followed by the text and explanation.

In the hotly contested 1860 presidential election, South Carolina held no popular vote and the 8 electors chosen by the state legislature unanimously awarded their votes to the Southern Democratic candidate John Breckinridge. Outraged by Lincoln’s victory, the people of Charleston demanded South Carolina secede. Within a few days, two Senators from South Carolina submitted their resignations, and on 20 December 1860, the South Carolina legislature unanimously voted to enact the “ordinance” posted on the broadside. The Charleston Mercury, one of the outspoken venues for States’ Rights activists throughout the South, jubilantly declared South Carolina’s independence by printing the broadside immediately after the ordinance passed. One of the editors commented that “within a very few minutes after the announcement of the secession vote, our messengers arrived...in less than fifteen minutes our Extras, containing the long looked for Ordinance, were being thrown off by fast presses and distributed among the eager multitude that thronged under the great banner of the ‘Southern Confederacy.’ As the brief and expressive words of the ordinance were read from our bulletin by the crowd, cheer after cheer went up in honor of the glorious event.” (Smithsonian National Museum of American History, AF.32960).

AN UNRECORDED EARLY TEXAS CONFEDERATE BROADSIDE.

Printed within weeks of the Texas Constitution of 1861, this broadside advertises that the Office of the Confederate States Department of Texas will be receiving sealed proposals to provide provisions with delivery to commence on 1 April 1861. Supply chains and securing provisions for both military and civilian use was an immediate and ongoing concern for the nascent Confederacy as they were a largely agrarian society reliant upon Northern goods and foreign imports. Lincoln’s blockade would further exacerbate these pressures, making this very early broadside seeking provisioners a particularly interesting relic.

[CIVIL WAR]. People of Baltimore! Baltimore, MD: N.p., 21 April 1861.

Visible 13 1/2 x 16 1/2 in. letterpress broadside; framed to 15 1/2 x 18 1/2 in.

A Confederate broadside intended to recruit Marylanders to the secessionist cause in the wake of the Baltimore riots of 1861. Considered the first bloodshed of the war, violence broke out when several state militia units from Pennsylvania and Massachusetts passed through the city en route to Washington DC. Maryland was a slave state but had not joined the southern states in secession. Baltimore was a divided city with a large population of free African Americans and white abolitionists, but also home to a large contingent of Democratic Copperheads and southern sympathizers.

In the 1860 presidential election, Maryland gave all electoral votes to Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge who earned 42,482 votes (45.9%). John Bell, of the Constitutional Union Party which took a neutral stance on slavery, was a popular candidate in border states and nearly won Maryland, garnering 41,760 votes (45.1%). Lincoln, in contrast, received only 2,294 votes from Marylanders.

By April, several states had seceded from the Union, notably, for Maryland, their neighbors Virginia. Discontent reached a fever pitch when President Lincoln called for 75,000 troops to be raised on 15 April 1861. Unrest began in Baltimore on the 18th when several Pennsylvania militia volunteers arrived and began to march to Fort McHenry. A group of southern sympathizers gathered and hurled bricks at the troops, though they were generally well protected by the police force. The next day, tensions were elevated further and the southern sympathizers again formed mobs to stop the progression of Massachusetts militia troops. When they found their way blocked while attacks began upon them, the troops fired into the mob turning it into a full-blown riot resulting in the deaths of 4 soldiers and 12 civilians, with more wounded.

The broadside here was published in the immediate aftermath of the riots, the author writing: “The bloody scenes of Friday, and the commotion of the last two days and nights, show how necessary it is to be prepared. Our people are now a unit. All manner of differences are merged in the deep affection felt for good Old Maryland. “The covenant has been sealed in blood,”...The glorious flag of the Union is a memory of the past. The only flags which now float over our city are the flags of the South and the banner borne by the Maryland Line.” The author urges Marylanders to take up arms: “Under all these circumstances, and in view of the depressing necessity, it is suggested that all Citizens who are willing to be of Service and act concurrently with the Authorities of the City, meet and enrol [sic] their names and report for duty.”

FIRST EDITION Confederate recruitment broadside by Michael G. Harman who published several variations calling the men of Western Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley to arms (see Parrish & Willingham 4662, 4664, 4665, and 4666). Issued shortly after the Federal occupation of Alexandria, VA on 24 May 1861. Here Harman foments Virginia loyalty and Confederate sympathy: “Your soil has been invaded by your Abolition foes, and we call upon you to rally at once, and drive them back.” Continuing, “Action! Action! should be our rallying motto, and the sentiment of Virginia’s inspired Orator, “Give me Liberty or give me Death,” animate every loyal son of the Old Dominion!”

Harman would serve as the Confederate quartermaster in Staunton until January 1862 and was elected lieutenant colonel of the 52nd Virginia Infantry on 19 August 1861, serving in a dual capacity until he resigned his quartermaster commission on 8 January 1862. He was promoted to colonel on 1 May 1862, wounded in action at McDowell, VA (8 May 1862), resigned due to disability in 1863, and returned to his quartermaster role in Staunton.

UNRECORDED LATE-WAR TEXAS BROADSIDE ADDRESS SLAVERY & SECESSION.

Neither the author nor publication information is printed on the broadside, however, the inscription identifies the author as Don Egbert Erastus Braman (1814-1898) a prominent lawyer, judge, and mayor of Matagorda, Texas. Originally from Norton, Massachusetts, he came to Texas after joining the Texas Volunteers in 1837, joining the Texas Army and serving under Sam Houston in the Texas Revolution. Here he has identified himself as the author and inscribed the work to Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton Bogard Dox (1827-1903) of the 12th Illinois Cavalry. After serving with distinction in major Eastern Theater battles with the Army of the Potomac, the 12th Illinois Cavalry was transferred to the Department of the Gulf in 1864 before serving the Department of Texas from July 1865 through May 1866 in the first days of Reconstruction. The content of the text and the confluence of the two men in Texas suggests a date of 1865.

In four columns of text, Braman “treat[s] of secession and its fruits” with a particular dissection of enslavement: “The fact of it was, Southern slavery had no protection, had no guarantees for its existence, except under the Constitution and laws of the United State; it had no common law rights; the law of nations did not recognize it, and it was as much an anomaly in this country and this age.” He concludes, in an effort to earn support for the reformed Union: “Therefore let UNION LEAGUES be formed in every county, town and hamlet in the State, encourage the establishment of LOYAL newspapers, and let them be sup[ported by the true friends of our whole country, and a healthy public sentiment will soon result therefrom.”

John Hunt Morgan, a native Kentuckian, represented to many secessionists hope that Kentucky could be claimed for the Confederacy.

With nearly 900 men, he swept through Kentucky taking 1,200 prisoners, and capturing hundreds of horses, and destroying Union supplies.

Here, Morgan addresses the people of “Estelle and adjoining counties” outlining the treatment the citizens can expect to receive. He concludes: “If any of our men are fired on while passing through the country, I will lay waste the entire surrounding neighborhood.” Parrish & Willingham 1018.

They would be detached to Louisiana and involved in the operations and siege against Port Hudson., In August 1863, the regiment was consolidated and then attached to the 1st Louisiana Cavalry. After 14 January 1864, its veterans were transferred to the 3rd Rhode Island Cavalry.

[CIVIL WAR]. Irish Brigade 2d Regt. to be raised in Philadelphia. Gen. Shields Commands the Brigade! Philadelphia, PA: Duross Brothers, late summer 1861 or early 1862.

18 1/2 x 23 5/8 in. broadside printed in green and red; framed to 25 1/4 x 29 1/2 in. Signed in type by First Lieutenant William J. Ashe (WIA Chancellorsville), Second Lieutenant Michael Schoales, and Captain George Cromley (KIA Chancellorsville).

A rare illustrated recruitment broadside for Company C of the 115th Pennsylvania Infantry, targeted specifically at Irishmen advertising that the regiment would be a part of the famed Irish Brigade. Featuring a large vignette, printed in green, of a large American flag and mustered soldiers wearing shakos and bayonetted rifles. The 115th Pennsylvania began recruitment in November 1861 and was mustered in on 28 January 1862 with a 3-year enlistment.

The broadside here is targeted at Irishmen, taking an anti-British argument: “Now is the time for Irishmen to get Arms in their hands. The day is at hand when they will have a chance to use them against their Inveterate Foe, the Government of England.” The English government being well-known to be largely in favor of the Confederate cause. Despite this direct recruitment tactic and specifically advertising inclusion in the Irish Brigade, the 115th was instead attached to the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Division, III Corps, Army of the Potomac, with later attachments after May 1864. The regiment saw heavy action in the Eastern Theater including Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and much of the Overland Campaign.

Authorized in September 1861, the Irish Brigade was initially formed of three infantry regiments from New York: the 63rd, 69th, and 88th. The fourth regiment was originally the 29th Massachusetts Infantry, but being largely composed of “Yankees” it often came to odds with the three Fenian regiments and was replaced with the predominantly Irish 28th Massachusetts Infantry. The 116th Pennsylvania regiment, recruited in the summer of 1862, was the 5th and final regiment to compose the Irish Brigade.

RARE: no other copies located. A similar broadside, recruiting for Company B, also promising inclusion in the Irish Brigade, is held at the Library Company of Philadelphia.

[CIVIL WAR] -- [NEW YORK CITY DRAFT RIOTS]. To the Laboring Men of New York 18 July 1863.

Visible 11 5/8 x 18 3/4 in. printed broadside; framed to 12 3/4 x 19 3/4 in. Signed in type “A Democratic Workingman.”

A rare broadside urging Democratic men to not riot and avoid violence, using moral and economic arguments including, “Comrades:---Do you want to pay heavy taxes?” and “It is cheaper and better to Stand by the Law!”

The working classes of heavily-immigrant New York City had been lukewarm to the war from the start, as many of the South’s exports passed through the ports and markets of the city and therefore provided many immigrant jobs.

The Emancipation Proclamation of January 1863 strengthened immigrant opposition to the war as many foresaw emancipated African Americans migrating to the city to compete for already low-paying jobs. The conscription act was the final straw, and local Democrats and Southern sympathizers seized on the opportunity to foment rebellion against African Americans, Republican supporters, newspaper offices, and eventually federal troops, resulting in what was likened to a Confederate victory.

Printer Samuel Tousey put his presses to work immediately, plastering his “Stop and Think!” and “Don’t Unchain the Tiger!” and 7 other broadsides with W.O. Bourne, throughout the city in an attempt to quell the hysteria. Although signed “A Democratic Workingman”, Tousey was in fact a committed Republican. His New York Times obituary of 1887 states that “he joined the Republican Party at its organization, and throughout the war was on terms of intimacy with many of its leaders,” and says of his anti-riot appeals such as the one offered here, that “a most wholesome a effect was produced.” RARE: OCLC locates only 12 copies.

When acquired by the consignor, the previous owner related that these drawings were made for a class on draftsmanship at the Naval Academy by Mr. Fitzgerald, a possible midshipman. However, no further details have been uncovered regarding Mr. Fitzgerald.

The “S.B. Luce” possibly refers to Stephen Bleecker Luce (1827-1917), US Navy admiral and founder and first president of the Naval War College. He served in the Civil War in the Atlantic coast blockade commanding the monitor Nantucket and other commands. He also served as head of the Department of Seamanship at the US Naval Academy from January 1862 to October 1863. After the war, he began the Navy’s apprentice training program and was promoted to captain in December 1872. He held several other commands, including the North Atlantic Squadron from his flagship the USS Tennessee in 1884. In 1881 he was promoted to commodore and commanded the US Navy Traning Squadron in Newport, RI where he developed a formal apprentice program for training enlisted sailors. While Fitzgerald goes unidentified, he is possibly one of the many young sailors that were educated by Luce during his long career.

[CIVIL WAR]. Hand-drawn map showing the defeat of the XI Corps by the flanking march of Stonewall Jackson’s at the Battle of Chancellorsville. [Chancellorsville, VA], [1863].

7 3/4 x 9 3/4 in. hand-drawn map in red and black ink; framed to 10 1/4 x 13 1/4 in.

A hand-drawn battle map showing the XI Corps on 2 May 1863 when they were surprise attacked by a flanking force led by Stonewall Jackson (1824-1863).

At the Battle of Chancellorsville, the Army of the Potomac newly under the command of General Joseph Hooker met the Army of Northern Virginia commanded by General Robert E. Lee. Hooker was on the offensive in a Southern thrust and Lee hoped to stymie the effort. Hooker’s force was much larger, and Lee took a risky, but ultimately effective approach by splitting up his force and charging General Stonewall Jackson and his entire Corps with an aggressive flanking maneuver.

The XI Corps was stationed on the far-right flank on the Orange Turnpike, past Wilderness Church, and communications problems on both 2 May and the preceding day led to a lack of support and General Oliver O. Howard made no provisions for surprise attacks, despite orders from Hooker. They were stationed with no natural obstacles except deep forests which they (incorrectly) assumed would not be navigable by an approaching force. Hooker’s only plans for the XI Corps were for skirmishing after the main battle and did not expect them to be heavily involved.

The XI Corps, the smallest in the U.S. Army, was not a well-respected unit with little history of battle success. Composed largely of German immigrants, many political refugees from the 1848 revolutions, they had been previously led by General Franz Sigel, who though popular among his troops was inept. When Sigel attempted to enlarge the Corps and his request was denied, he angrily resigned and was replaced by General Oliver O. Howard. He became deeply unpopular with his men, however, in part due to his strong evangelical religious beliefs which earned him the moniker the “Christian general.”

On the day of May 2, despite increasing reports of possible enemy approach within the forest among enlisted men, officers refused to take notice. Near 5:30 p.m., most of the XI Corps was seated for supper, however, they witnessed animals fleeing from the western woods and then heard the “Rebel Yell” as Jackson’s cavalry advanced out of the forest in a surprise attack. Despite resistance, the XI Corps were entirely overwhelmed by Jackson’s assault. The loss to the corps was 2,407 casualties with 217 killed, 1,218 wounded, and 972 captured.

The daring flank attack proved to be Stonewall Jackson’s last. When returning from camp, the 18th North Carolina Infantry mistook the General and his staff for a Union cavalry force and fired at the men. Jackson was hit by three bullets, forcing the amputation of his arm, and died 8 days later on 10 May 1863 from complications from pneumonia.

The map here, though undated, appears to be near contemporaneous to the events. Within a border, the artist has alluded to the thick forests, labeling it “Heavy Timber.” The roads and the Wilderness Church are labeled and the positions of Union troops, each with an American flag, are noted: 1st Division and 3rd Division on either side of the road on the western edge, with the 26th Wisconsin Infantry (2nd Brigade, 3rd Division) farther north than the rest of its Division. Farther east the units of the 1st Brigade, 2nd Division are labeled with their positions: 29th New York, 27th Pennsylvania, 73rd Pennsylvania, and the original position of the 154th New York and where they fell back to. In the upper right, Jackson’s troops are labeled “Rebel attack” with 2 Confederate national flags.

A map centered on the Confederate capital Richmond, Virginia, the target for the Army of the Potomac in late 1862. Surrounding the map are vignetted portraits of Generals Ambrose Burnside, who commanded the Army until January 1863, and General Joseph T. Hooker, who took over command on 26 January 1863. Also included are four Corps commanders: General Franz Sigel (XI Corps), General Samuel P. Heintzelman (III Corps), General Edwin Vose Sumner (II Corps), and General William Buel Franklin (VI Corps).

This map was published in at least 12 editions throughout the war with the portraits later replaced with others, battle vignettes, or inset maps. The generals present here suggest a date of January 1863, the brief time they overlapped, with Burnside turning over command to Hooker and Franz Sigel resigning by February. See lot 537.

[NEW YORK] -- [EARLY IMMIGRATION]. $500 Reward! The Booth Associations of Hawleyville, Ct. and New York City. Unite in offering the above Reward for Certified Records of the Landing of Richard Booth. N.p.: N.p., [late 1860s?].

10 1/4 x 13 7/8 in. printed broadside; framed to 15 1/2 x 18 5/8 in. Signed in type by Carlos B. Booth and H.H. Randall.

An article published in the 30 January 1869 issue of the New York Daily Herald reports on the “Meeting of the Booth Heirs”, reporting that “the members of the Booth family in this section, which was called the Booth Association, an organization which was effected by members of the Booth family at Bellows Falls, Vt., on the 21st of May, 1867, for the purpose of collecting information relative to the Booth property in England and to devise means to investigate the claims of the family here to that property, which is estimated to amount to $50,000,000.” The article details more information about Richard Booth, “who settled at Stratford, Conn., in 1640” and his two brothers John of Southhold, Long Island, and Robert of Exeter, NH, the brothers being some of the earliest European settlers in New England.

The broadside here offers a reward for information regarding Richard Booth’s arrival “from England some where on the shores of the Eastern States, before the Year 1640.” Current records indicate that Richard Booth sailed in 1639 (Virkus, Immigrant Ancestors, p. 14), it is unclear if the Booth Associations’ broadside was successful or if their goal of regaining ancestral lands was achieved.

A broadside announcing a lottery whose proceeds would fund the building of the Baltimore Basilica, the first Roman Catholic cathedral built in the United States. Lotteries, a common practice to fund large-scale projects at the time, were used as early as 1803 for the project.

Jacob I. Cohen, Jr. was a prominent Jewish businessman and banker in Baltimore. He established Cohen’s Lottery and Exchange Office, advertising here, in 1812 with his brothers. He would go on to publish Cohen’s Gazette and Lottery Register, found the successful J.I. Cohen, Jr. & Brother’s Banking House, and become an executive in several companies including railroads and insurance. He was a generous supporter of Jewish organizations and used his influence to lobby against the “Jew Bill” which sought to repeal the requirement that all Maryland officials swear a “belief in the Christian religion.” After it’s successful passing, Cohen was elected to the First Branch of the Baltimore City Council along with Solomon Etting, becoming the first two Jewish elected officials in Maryland.

The cartoon shows a truck labeled “Capone & Co.” ladened with beer barrels running over two men labeled “The Moran-Aiello Gang”, a reference to Al Capone rivals Bugs Moran and Joe Aiello. The truck is shown the right of way by a police officer labeled “Politics.” Two onlookers comment: “Well it looks as though the scare following the Lingle Killing has about blown over.” With the caption “One Business that seems to be getting back to normalcy again.” The Lingle killing refers to the gangland-style murder of Jake Lingle (1891-1930), a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. Although initially treated as a martyred journalist, it was uncovered that he was involved in Capone’s racketeering organization.

[LABOR]. Unfair. Barnum and Bailey Are unfair to lithographers and printers. Evansville, [IN]: Evansville Typographical Union No. 36, [1907-early 1908].

The broadside, issued by the Evansville Typographical Union, urges the public to boycott the Barnum & Baily circus, noting that they “are unfair to Lithographers and Printers. They do not consider them when ordering work. Friends of organized labor keep away from this Show.”

The January 1907 (Vol. XXX, No.1) issue of the Typographical Journal reports on the labor issue at hand: “The Courier Company, of Buffalo, N.Y., which does the show printing for Barnum & Bailey and other circus people, absolutely refuses to grant the eight-hour day, and runs an ‹open shop.’ It will be pretty tough to have to ‹cut out’ the circus, but we’ll do it unless their printing is done under fair conditions. Write to Louis E. Cook, manager Barnum & Bailey’s greatest shows...and tell him so.”

The campaign of boycotts and letter writing was a success with the Typographical Journal (Vol. XXXII, No. 5, May 1908), reported their success within a year and half, in an article titled “Circuses Abandon Unfair Printing” which includes responses to the campaign from various circus managers including Barnum & Bailey who are quoted: “We regret exceedingly that our ticket order was carelessly placed, and have made an arrangement with James M. Lynch, your International president, whereby future orders will be placed in a manner that will meet with your approval.” .

An artistic representation of what is widely considered the first “world title” international bout. Contested between American John C. Heenan (18341873) and Englishman Tom “Brighton Titch” Sayers (1826-1865) who were both bare-knuckle champions in their respective nations, during an era before formal weight classes. The match, illegally organized, took place in a field near Farnborough and lasted 42 rounds over 2 hours and 27 minutes. The boxers remained level when the Aldershot police arrived with magistrates’ warrants and broke up the match. Both boxers fled the scene and the fight was left unsettled and with all bets called off.

A color lithograph advertising a baseball game between Holy Cross College and Fordham on 10 May 1888 at 3:30 P.M. at Ward Street Grounds in Hartford, CT. The broadside features a player at bat wearing a white and sky blue uniform with the opposing team’s catcher readied behind wearing red and Prussian blue.

College baseball began on 1 July 1859 in a matchup between Amherst and Williams Colleges played under Massachusetts rules with no foul zone. The first game played under modern rules was played later that year on 3 November between St. Francis Xavier College and St. John’s College Fordham Rose Hill Baseball Club (now Fordham University), one of the teams featured on this broadside. For the majority of the late 19th century, most teams and organizations were student-run affairs making this professionally printed poster in color more remarkable. The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association, organized on 24 March 1888 is the oldest athletic conference in the United States, the Big Ten would follow in 1896, and the NCAA would not be formed until 1905. . $5,000 - 7,000

[TRANSPORTATION]. [GREEN, Charles (1785-1870). Accident to Mr. Green and his Balloon! London: S.G. Fairbrother, [1845].

4 15/16 x 6 5/8 in. letterpress broadside; framed to 9 1/2 x 11 1/4 in.

A small broadside announcing that “in consequence of the disastrous result of Mr. Green’s last Night Ascent from Vauxhall, vix. the entire destruction of the Albion Baloon, and severe bodily injuries sustained by Mr. Green” that scheduled ballooning events were canceled. The organizers apologize and announce that the “Wreck of that once Magnificent Vessel” would be displayed for public viewing with proceeds going to “a BENEFIT for the VETERAN GREEN, the proceeds to be applied to the building of a NEW BALLOON.”

Charles Green (1785-1870) was a world-renowned experimental balloonist, pioneering coal gas as an alternative to hydrogen. He first used this method on 19 July 1821, making over 200 ascents by 1835 and recording a distance record in 1836 by flying from Vauxhall Gardens to Weilburg in the Duchy of Nassau (Germany). He is also credited with inventing trail ropes to steer and land.

[CRIME & PUNISHMENT]. Elliot’s Soliloquy; Or Lines on the Death of Seth Elliot, Executed at Castine for the Murder of One of His Children; December 30, 1824. Bangor, [ME]: E. Brewster, 1824.

11 1/4 x 18 1/2 in. printed broadside; framed to 14 5/8 x 21 1/2 in. With a black mourning border and a vignette of a hanged man before a gathered crowd.

A printing of the final words of Seth Eliot, a man convicted of murdering his own child. An act he attributed to his own intemperance and which he gave a soliloquy recorded here in verse. An article published on 1 March 1825 in the Hartford Courant remarks on the hanging and Elliot’s address from the gallows.

The broadside here notes the day of execution as 30 December 1824, but a handwritten note reads “By Reprieve Feb. 3. 1825.” Newspaper records corroborate that the execution did occur in early February 1825. In a testimony by Rev. W.A. Drew recorded on 2 October 1852 in Gospel Banner (and printed in Williamson): “We recollect that when Elliot was executed, a parson, Jonathan Fisher of Bluehill, appeared under the gallows, peddling ballads of his own composition, describing the murderer as a Universalist making a dying confession of the error of that doctrine, and of his other sins. After it was printed, the prisoner was reprieved for some time, and the ballad became a little out of season.” (3360)

[CRIME & PUNISHMENT]. A group of 3 broadsides advertising rewards for apprehending a murderer and thieves, highlighted by $500 reward for a man charged with murder in St. Louis, MO, in 1854.

$500 Reward. William A. Jackson. Charged with the Murder of James B. Laidlaw. St. Louis, MO: N.p., 12 May 1854. Visible 7 1/2 x 8 1/2 in. printed broadside; matted and framed to 11 x 12 in. Signed in type by Dr. George T. Collins.

William A. Jackson, a dancer with the People’s Theater, was charged with shooting scenery painter James B. Laidlaw while on a buggy ride. He was captured in August but acquitted by a jury in December. Mark Twain references the case in a 5 March 1866 letter to the Muscatine Tri-Weekly Journal: “I doubt if there are hundred people in St. Louis that do not think O’Blennis ought to be hung, and the number is still less than expect him to be punished at all. Since Jackson and Ward escaped hanging, people seem to have very little confidence in courts of justice.” (Mark Twain’s Letters, 1853-1866, Vol. I, pp. 55-57

[With:] $50 Reward! Escaped from the train at Franklin, Ind., on Tuesday evening last, William Lucas, a convict... Indianapolis, IN: N.p., 26 March 1863. 12 1/2 x 9 1/8 in. printed broadside; framed to 18 x 15 in. Signed in type by Charles Kern, Sherrif of Vigo County.

11 15/16 x 18 1/8 in. printed broadside; framed to 15 5/8 x 21 1/8 in. Signed in type by B.R. Hudon.

A reward broadside for recovery of stolen property and apprehension of the robbers. B.R. Hudson recounts that “on the evening of the 18th instant, 4 men, in disguise, effected an entrance...by knocking at the door and then seizing the person who opened it, and forcibly plundered and robbed the house.” The list of stolen property included several bonds, a gold watch, a gold pencil, one diamond ring, several pieces of jewelry, and $170 in bank bills.

$200 - 300

Visible 10 3/4 x 14 3/4 in. printed broadside; matted and framed to 15 3/4 x 20 in. Signed in type by the Sheriff of Washington County, MO John T. Clark.

A reward broadside for the “apprehension and delivery” of Charles Jolly and John Armstrong who were accused of murdering 5 members of the Lapine family on 19 November 1870. The devastating murders by the men, identified as miners by the St. Joseph Saturday Herald (3 December 1870), caused a sensation across the state. They were apparently apprehended not long after the issuance of this reward broadside and while held in custody in Washington county, “infuriated citizens...attempted to lynch them on the 27th.” (St. Joseph Herald, 3 December 1870). For their own protection, they were taken to St. Louis the next day where they were tried, and “after an absence of only three minutes, the jury returned a verdict of murder.” (Buffalo Reflex [Buffalo, MO], 28 January 1871). They were duly hanged on 27 January 1871. (Kansas City Journal, 29 January 1871).

A broadside publishing the text of a new legislation against those who would “wilfully [sic] enter or break down through or over any orchard, garden or yardfence, hot bed or greenhouse” or who would otherwise injure any growing crop. Offering a reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction of anyone transgressing.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

....................................... $25 $500 - $1,000 $50 $1,000 - $2,000 $100 $2,000 - $5,000 $250 $5,000 - $10,000 $500 $10,000 - $20,000 $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 $2,500 $50,000 - $100,000 $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 $10,000

Above > $200,000 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.

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).

Conditions of Sale

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.

(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.

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, we charge twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $400,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $400,001 up to and including $4,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $4,000,001. 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.

(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, 1338 West Lake Street, 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

JAMES MILGRAM, M.D.,

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

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.
