The two ships sailed together from Plymouth on 20 January 1850 but unfortunately separated in the neighbourhood of Cape Horn and did not meet again. The Enterprise passed Point Barrow, Alaska, on 21 August, but the ice forced Collinson to return south and winter in Hong Kong. In 1851 he was again hampered by ice and in 1852 was frozen in at Cambridge Bay for the winter. In 1853 the Enterprise was caught in the ice at Camden Bay, and there passed a third winter. She reached Point Barrow on 8 August 1854, after being shut up in the Arctic, entirely on her own resources, for upwards of three years. Of the many who had searched for Franklin, Collinson came closest to the place where the expedition had ended. Collinson’s addition to geographical knowledge on this Arctic trip was very considerable, and would have been tantamount to the discovery of the north-west passage, had this not been already actually achieved by the men of the Investigator” (DNB).

2 volumes, 4to (274 x 218 mm). Engraved frontispiece portrait; 63 engraved maps and plates, some folding; one folding letterpress table.

Harries (gift inscription from R. Bailey, 1947); collector’s bookplate, a few pencil marks.

FIRST EDITION. “The success of Cook’s first voyage led the Admiralty to send him on a second expedition which was to circumnavigate the globe as far south as possible in search of any southern continents. Cook proved that there was no “Terra Australis” which supposedly lay between New Zealand and South America but became convinced that there must be land beyond the ice fields” (Hill). Cook’s instructions for the Second Voyage were to circumnavigate the globe as far south as possible to search for any southern continent. He fully proved none existed but remained convinced of a land mass beyond the ice fields and became the first to cross the Antarctic Circle. He further charted Australia, revealing the first evidence of a strait separating it from Tasmania, and New Zealand, and re-discovered Easter Island, the Marquesas, Niue, Tonga, the New Hebrides, New Caledonia, Norfolk Island, and South Georgia. As importantly, he proved the value of the marine chronometer in determining longitude and found a means of preventing scurvy. With him were the Forsters (father and son), Sparrman, and others.  Hill 358; Holmes 24; Sabin 16245.

THE RARE COMPLETE SET OF VIEWS OF THE ENTRAPMENT AND ABANDONMENT OF THE H.M.S. INVESTIGATOR IN THE ARCTIC ICE

FIRST EDITION. Robert McClure was given command of the Investigator in 1850 as part of the second Franklin search expedition, with Samuel Gurney Cresswell second-in-command. The Investigator entered the North-West Passage via the Bering Strait and sailed eastward, becoming trapped in pack ice at Mercy Bay in the autumn of 1851. McClure and his crew abandoned the ship on 3 June 1853. Unlike the loss of the Erebus and Terror, the events surrounding Investigator’s abandonment are well-documented, although the exact location of the wreckage was unknown for over 150 years.  In July 2010, the remains of the ship were discovered in the Beaufort Sea, still sitting upright.

Volume two consists of the Dutch voyages of William Schoten and Jacob Le Maire, Abel Tasman, and Jacob Roggeveen. Dalrymple was the first critical editor of discoveries in Australasia and Polynesia. This work was published to strengthen his claim of the existence of a southern continent, which was finally dispelled by Cook’s second voyage.

Dixon’s account of this voyage to the Pacific Northwest, a voyage undertaken by the newly-formed King George’s Sound Company to establish a fur trade between the northwest American coast and China. With Dixon as Captain of the Queen Charlotte and Nathaniel Portlock as captain of the King George, the expedition sailed to Prince William Sound where the two ships then parted. Dixon continued down the coast, discovered Queen Charlotte Island, Port Mulgrave, Norfolk Bay, and Dixon Archipelago, and made three stops in Hawaii for the purpose of trading and acquiring provisions. The ship subsequently stopped at Canton to trade and finally returned to Dover in September 1788. The text of Dixon’s voyage is by William Beresford, the supercargo aboard the Queen Charlotte, written in the form of letters to a friend in London, but edited by Dixon who added the introduction, the appendix, and the maps.

FIRST EDITION, A WIDE-MARGINED COPY. “Even if Dobbs used exaggeration as his main literary device, the core of his sermon was perfectly accurate -- that if the Company did not drastically alter its tactics, the French would occupy the new continent’s central plains... Its most valuable historical contribution was the description of the extraordinary exploits of a ‘French Canadese Indian’ named Joseph La France” (Peter C. Newman, Empire of the Sun, 2000, p. 213). Dobbs never saw the bay but derived considerable information from French and Canadian sources, notably La France. Dobbs gives accounts of the fur trade and of early exploration of the area and the opportunities for further discoveries. He attacks Captain Christopher Middleton for his leadership of the 17411742 expedition searching for a passage, initiating a public attack and counter-attack that lasted more than 3 years. In 1745, Parliament announced a reward of 20,000 pounds to the discoverer of the passage; Dobbs financed a second expedition, 1746-7, in the Dobbs and California to search for the route via Hudson’s Bay.

2 volumes, 8vo (188 x 114 mm). Half-title in vol. I; 4 engraved plates, including one map. (Some spotting and browning to a few leaves and plates; lacking list of plates.) Modern blue half morocco stamp-signed by Aquarius. Provenance: London Literary & Scientific Society (presentation inscription, see below, effaced stamps); City of London Institution (stamps to frontispieces); collector’s bookplate, a few pencil marks.

FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY KING: “Presented by the Author to the London Literary & Scientific Institution...with grateful thanks for the generous use of its theatre, to propose [in a] Public Meeting, a further survey of the Northern Coast of North America.”

King served as surgeon and naturalist on the Back expedition that descended the Back River to the arctic coast of Canada.  “King’s experience in the country inspired him with a strong urge to return to the North and resume the exploration of the arctic coast from the points where he and Back had been obliged to return. He immediately addressed a proposal to the Government for continuing the work, but after a lapse of some months was informed it was “Not their intention to promote further discoveries in the Arctic Regions.” King then attempted to interest the general public in his scheme and induce them to subscribe the funds necessary for its execution, but the support he received was inadequate” (George M. Douglas, Encyclopedia Arctica, Vol. V, pp. 441-2).

King claimed that Back’s own account, published earlier the same year, included much of his own research and observations without giving credit to him; he sought redress in this work. According to Field, “[King] does not attempt to conceal the chagrin he felt, at the cool absorption of his own careful researches in the narrative of Captain Back.” Arctic Bibliography 8708; Field 831; Sabin 37831 (calling for 7 plates); Staton & Tremaine/TPL 1899.

FIRST EDITION. Mackenzie, a Scotch-born fur trader, emigrated to North America in 1779; his expeditions, on behalf of the North West Fur Company, were in part an attempt to break up the Hudson’s Bay Company monopoly. On his first expedition in 1789, he left Fort Chippewayan on Lake Athabasca for Great Slave Lake and traveled along what is now the Mackenzie River from its source to its mouth, covering 3,000 miles in 120 days before reaching the Arctic Sea. In 1793, he crossed the Rocky Mountains from Fort Chipewyan to the Pacific Coast. Together, these expeditions constitute the first known transcontinental crossing of America north of Mexico. “No writer upon the subject of Indian customs and peculiarities, has given us a more minute, careful and interesting relation of them, as indeed none were better fitted to do, by long experience among them. His investigations...were remarkable for their accuracy; Sir John Franklin more than once expressing his surprise at being able to corroborate their correctness” (Field 967).

FIRST EDITION. After sailing to the Arctic under Sir John Ross in 1818, Parry was appointed to the command of this expedition in the spring of 1819. Parry “explored and named Barrow Strait, Prince Regent Inlet, and Wellington Channel. Entering what has since been called Parry or Viscount Melville Sound in September, he reached longitude 110° West, thereby earning a reward of £5,000... He also discovered Melville Island and others of the Parry Islands. After being frozen in for ten months, the ships were released on August 10, 1820, but the ice prevented further progress westward, and Parry returned to England... The immediate achievements of these voyages were the charting of hundreds of miles of coastline in the Canadian Arctic archipelago and the collection of valuable data on Arctic natural history. A supplement to the appendix containing an account of the subjects of natural history, was published at London in 1824” (Hill). Arctic Bibliography 13145; Brunet IV:387; Hill 1311 & 1312; Lowndes p.1789; Sabin 58860 and 58861.

FIRST EDITION OF ROSS’S FAMOUS FIRST VOYAGE. Ross, along with William Parry, his nephew James Clark Ross, and Edward Sabine, attempted to proceed westward through Lancaster Sound. Deceived, quite possibly by a mirage, Ross described the passage as barred by a mountain range that he named the Croker Mountains. On his return to England, his observations were initially accepted as conclusive. He was promoted to post rank on 7 December 1818. Controversy would soon follow, as Sir John Barrow, who learned that there were some doubts as to the existence of the Croker Mountains, dispatched another expedition under the command of Parry. Despite Ross’s willingness to make another voyage, he was not given another opportunity to lead an Arctic expedition until 1829.

FIRST EDITION. After Ross’s disastrous voyage in 1818, the Admiralty refused to let Ross lead another expedition until 1829. He secured funding from gin magnate Felix Booth and contributed financially to the voyage himself. He sailed, with his nephew James Clark Ross as second in command, on the steam vessel Victory, which was the first steam-powered Arctic exploring vessel. Victory was beset in ice for four consecutive winters, during which the expedition explored Prince Regent Inlet, and discovered Boothia Peninsula and crossed it; James Clark Ross discovered the North Magnetic Pole. The party made their way by sledge and small boat to Lancaster Sound, where they found Ross’s old ship, the Isabella, which they used to return to England. James Clark Ross was knighted for his discovery of the magnetic pole. The performance and loss of the Victory were long disputed by the Admiralty, her engine makers, and Ross, resulting in a pamphlet war (see lot 166). Ross published more about the scientific discoveries of the expedition in the Appendix.

FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH. Vancouver’s Voyage is among the most important in exploration literature. Vancouver served on Captain Cook’s second and third voyages and was made commander of a large-scale expedition to re-establish British rights in the Pacific.

Beginning from England in 1791 and sailing around Australia, Vancouver discovered King George’s Sound and Cape Hood. In three seasons, Vancouver surveyed the coast of California, visited San Francisco and San Diego, met with the Spanish at Nootka, investigated the Strait of Juan de Fuca, discovered the Strait of Georgia, circumnavigated Vancouver Island, and disproved the existence of a passage between the Pacific and Hudson’s Bay.

AUSTEN, Jane (1775-1817). Sense and Sensibility: A Novel in Three Volumes By a Lady. London: T. Egerton, 1811.

3 volumes. Half-titles in each volume, final blank in vol. II only; paper watermarked “IS 1810” and “1808”. (Some light spotting to a few leaves, M11 in Vol. II with paper flaw touching letters, a few minor marginal tears from rough opening or paper flaws.)  20th-century red straight-grained morocco gilt, turn-ins with gilt thistle roll-tooling, top edge gilt, others untrimmed, stamp-signed by C. J. Sawyer (a few tiny surface scuffs).

FIRST EDITION OF JANE AUSTEN’S FIRST PUBLISHED NOVEL, one of only 1,000 or fewer copies printed. Austen originally structured her work as an epistolary novel entitled Elinor and Marianne, but revised the work in 1797 and 1798 at Steventon, and again in 1809 and 1810 during her first year of residence at Chawton. Thomas Egerton agreed to publish the novel on a commission basis, and Jane Austen “actually made a reserve from her very moderate income to meet the expected loss.” The price of the new novel was 15 shillings in boards, with advertisements first appearing on 30 October 1811. Keynes suggests that the edition was “only 1000 copies or even less.” When it sold out in less than two years, Jane wrote to her brother Francis: “You will be glad to hear that every copy of Sense and Sensibility is sold and that it has brought me £140 beside the copyright, if that should ever be of any value.” Gilson A1; Keynes 1; Sadleir 62b.

AUSTEN, Jane (1775-1817). Pride and Prejudice: A Novel. London: T. Egerton, 1813.

3 volumes, 12mo (169 x 102 mm). Paper watermarked 1808 and 1812. (Lacking half-titles, a few minor marginal tears or losses occasionally repaired,  a few leaves with paper flaws just affecting letters). 20th-century red straight-grained morocco gilt, turn-ins with gilt thistle roll-tooling, top edge gilt, others untrimmed, stamp-signed by C. J. Sawyer (a few tiny scuffs).

FIRST EDITION. Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice (originally titled First Impressions) between October 1796 and August 1797 when she was not yet twenty-one -- the same age, in fact, as her fictional heroine Elizabeth Bennet. After an early rejection by the publisher Cadell who had not even read it, Austen’s novel was finally bought by Egerton in 1812 for £110. It was published in late January 1813 in a small edition of approximately 1500 copies and sold for 18 shillings in boards. On 29 January 1813, Austen wrote to her sister Cassandra about receiving her copy of the newly published novel (her “own darling child”), and while acknowledging its few errors, she expresses her feelings toward her heroine: “I must confess that I think her as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print, & how I shall be able to tolerate those who do not like her at least, I do not know.” Gilson A3; Grolier English 69; Keynes 3; Sadleir 62b.

FIRST EDITION, written by Austen between February 1811 and June 1813, and published in May 1814 in a relatively small edition of perhaps 1250 copies, priced at 18 shillings in boards. Austen published the work on a commission basis, retaining the copyright to the work which was sold out by November.  Despite selling out relatively quickly, no second edition was printed until 1816.  Vols. I and III were printed by Sidney, and Vol. II was printed by Roworth.  The final leaf in Vol. III advertises the publication of the second editions of Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice Gilson A6; Keynes p. 11; Sadleir I, 62c.

AUSTEN, Jane (1775-1817). Emma: A Novel... By the Author of “Pride and Prejudice,” &c. &c. London: John Murray, 1816.

3 volumes, 12mo (171 x 103 mm). Paper watermarked “1815” or “BUDGEN 1815”. (Lacking half-titles; a few small spots, light browning to a few quires.) 20thcentury red straight-grained morocco gilt, turn-ins with gilt thistle roll-tooling, top edge gilt, others untrimmed, stamp-signed by C. J. Sawyer. (A few tiny scuffs).

FIRST EDITION, written by Austen from 21 January 1814 to 29 March 1815 at Chawton. Henry Austen conducted negotiations with John Murray concerning the publication.  Following her visit to Carlton House, Austen dedicated the novel to the Prince Regent at the suggestion of the Prince’s librarian, who thought it an appropriate acknowledgement for the kindness shown her by the Prince. After a number of printing delays, the novel was finally published in late December 1815 at her own expense, with profits going to Austen after payment of a 10 percent commission to John Murray.

In his review of Emma, Sir Walter Scott noted: “We therefore bestow no mean compliment upon the author of Emma, when we say that...she has produced sketches of such spirit and originality that we never miss the excitation which depends upon the narrative of uncommon events.” Gilson A8; Keynes p. 14; Sadleir I, 62d.

AUSTEN, Jane (1775-1817). Northanger Abbey: and Persuasion. By the Author of “Pride and Prejudice”, “Mansfield-Park” &c. With a Biographical Notice of the Author. London: John Murray, 1818.

4 volumes, 12mo (172 x104 mm). Half-titles in vol. I; paper watermarked “AP 1816.” (Lacking half-titles in vols. II-IV, a few leaves with tiny paper flaws just touching letters, a few spots, some leaves slightly toned.) 20th-century red straight-grained morocco gilt, turn-ins with gilt thistle roll-tooling, top edge gilt, others untrimmed, stamp-signed by C. J. Sawyer (a few tiny scuffs).

FIRST EDITION. Northanger Abbey, with its lighthearted imitation of the Gothic novel, was written 1798 and 1799. In 1803, Austenshe sold the novel, then entitled Susan, to Crosby and Company, a London publisher, for £10. When it failed to appear after six years, she asked Mr. Crosby for information and was told he was under no obligation to publish it but would return the manuscript to her in exchange for the amount he had originally paid her. Austen waited until 1816 to accept the offer, but despite preparing the manuscript for publication, she still held it back. As a result, it only appeared posthumously with Persuasion in December 1817, prefaced by Henry Austen’s “Biographical Notice’’ of his sister. The final version of Persuasion, her last novel, was completed on 6 August 1816. Gilson A9; Keynes 9; Sadleir I, 62e.

Saint Bernardino of Sienna was an Italian priest and Franciscan missionary preacher in Italy, and a systematizer of Scholastic economics. His preaching, his book burnings, and his “bonfires of the vanities” made him famous/infamous during his own lifetime because they were frequently directed against sorcery, gambling, infanticide, witchcraft, homosexuals, Jews, Romani “Gypsies”, usury, etc. Bernardino was later canonised by the Catholic Church as a Saint—where he is also referred to as “the Apostle of Italy”—for his efforts to revive the country’s Catholicism during the 15th century. The present work collects 66 of those sermons.

[DE VRIES, Hugo (1848-1935)]. An extensive archive including signed pamphlets and personally owned works related to the life and work of Hugo de Vries ca late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Hugo de Vries was a Dutch botanist and geneticist who is best remembered today for introducing the “mutation theory.” Expanding on the work of Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel, de Vries proposed that evolution might occur far more frequently than previously supposed by Darwin in the form of dramatic, large-scale changes. It was considered the dominant theory into how evolution works until the theories of Darwin and Mendel were synthesized into the more unified theory best known today. This archive represents some of the most popular and controversial theories from the early years of genetic study.

Included in this archive are:

Approximately 1,000 pamphlets, books, and other items by and related to Hugo de Vries (many from his personal library), including many items SIGNED by DeVries and other prominent geneticists such as Bradley Moore Davis, Nils Heribert-Nilsson, and others. Numerous photocopied pages from personal journals, unpublished letters, and other items, as well as carbon copies of correspondence between de Vries and his American personal assistant, Elizabeth Day Palmer, along with modern printings of books by and related to de Vries and other geneticists. Provenance: Hugo de Vries, Elizabeth Day Palmer, Charles Atwood Kofoid, others (ownership inscriptions, bookplates).

DICKENS, Charles (1812-1870). Autograph document signed (“Charles Dickens”), n.d. [ca 1837-39].

One page, ca 75 x 218mm, small tape stain in blank area of lefthand margin, mounting remnants along upper margin on verso In full: “Please to send me by Bearer, a pull of the whole for myself / Mr. Hicks / Messrs. Bradbury & Evans / Charles Dickens.”

Charles Hicks was the foreman-printer at Bradbury & Evans when they were printing Dickens’s works for the publisher Chapman and Hall. He is mentioned several times in the correspondence of Charles Dickens. Based on the handwriting this document appears to date from the earlier years of Dickens’ association with Bradbury & Evans, which began with the publication of his first novel, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, serialized between April 1836 and November 1837.

Dickens thanks Kenyon for his “liberal donation” to the Sanatorium, and recommends he read the report he will be receiving which “will show you what an excellent Institution is and how well it merits your voluntary support.” Mentions his upcoming engagements, including dining with the Milner Gibsons, before adding: “In this list I don’t include the slight engagement of having to finish Chuzzlewit; which I shall be very glad to dispose of, notwithstanding.” He concludes hoping they get together before his trip to (…):  “We shall come and shake hands with you before we go ; and we shall meet you one night, I hope at Mrs. Macready’s. Let us take a vow to be better neighbours in time to come. As the boys say, ‘I will, if you will.’…”.

John Kenyon, patron of the arts and poet, was “a seasoned traveller and a lion of London society [who] made his home a mecca for the intelligentsia…Indeed, his later claim to fame rested largely on his generosity; his favourite role of host fostered his aptitude for arranging fruitful introductions, which in turn contributed to his popularity and extended his influence. Kenyon’s reputation as a wealthy dilettante with a genial disposition and generous purse was universally acknowledged” (DNB).

DICKENS, Charles (1812-1870). Autograph letter signed (“Charles Dickens”), to Thomas Watts, Devonshire Terrace, 3 December 1849.

2 pages, 8vo, on a bifolium, creased at folds

Dickens thanking Thomas Watts, of the British Museum, for his “very curious and interesting pamphlet. I was not aware of the discovery it describes, and indeed had never given any attention to the subject of which it treats. I had a general idea that the first Newspaper published in England, was published in the Armada time; and looking into some books of reference within an hour or so of my going  out to the News Vendor’s dinner, and finding that idea confirmed, took its accuracy for granted, and thought no more about it…”.

Thomas Watts’ “A Letter to Antonio Panizzi, Esq.” (1839), exposed the fabrication of the alleged first English newspaper (the English Mercurie). Watts became first Superintendent of the Reading Room at the British Museum in 1857, and in 1866 succeeded John Winter Jones as Keeper of Printed Books. On November 21, 1849, Dickens presided over the tenth anniversary dinner of the Newsvendor’s Benevolent Institution at the Albion Tavern.

2 pages, 8vo, several pale adhesive stains showing through from verso, upper margin edge on first page a little rough. Matted and framed, unexamined out of frame.

Dickens writes the Committee on behalf of the authors Maria Goodluck and her sister Louisa to receive assistance from the Fund: “…I am acquainted with the merits of the case of the two sisters Miss Maria Goodluck and Miss Louisa Goodluck, and that I know them to be worthy of all assistance and relief… they are the authoresses of several little books, and some of their verses for children are of unusual merit…”. He also mentions his friend “Dr. Elliotson who has been a most generous and earnest friend to them.”

Dr. John Elliotson was the Dickens family doctor who introduced Dickens to Mesmerism, having opined a mesmeric hospital in 1849. Maria Goodluck was the author of Poems from the Fireside, an Affectionate Greeting for the Young, published in 1852.

DICKENS, Charles (1812-1870). Autograph letter signed (“Charles Dickens”), to G. Linnaeus Banks, 9 March 1867.

One page, 8vo, on Office of All the Year Round stationery, upper half of sheet mounted on an album leaf.

Dickens the editor suggesting changes to G. Linnaeus Banks for his contribution to All the Year Round, constructively asking: “Are the words ‘Mr. Heraud was the pioneer of cheap literature at a time when it was an experiment and not a success’, quite exact and well-considered? And would not the clause in the last paragraph but one…ending ‘recognition of his services’ be better out, as travelling beyond the case, which is seldom desirable?…”.  He concludes by sending his regards to Mrs. [Isabella Varley] Banks, and sending her his thanks for the gift of a book with “its to me highly gratifying inscription…”.

George Linnaeus Banks (1821-1881), husband of author Isabella Banks, was a British journalist, editor, poet, playwright, amateur actor, orator, and Methodist. He contributed to various newspapers, and was subsequently a playwright, being the author of two plays, a couple of burlesques and several lyrics. Between 1848 and 1864 he edited in succession a variety of newspapers, including the Birmingham Mercury and the Dublin Daily Express, and published several volumes of miscellaneous prose and verse.  This letter apparently relates to a piece by Banks concerning the journalist and poet John Abraham Heraud (1799-1887).

Fourth edition, preceded by the first edition in French of 1650 and the first English edition of 1664. “The preface to the work strikes a new note in English architectural theory. The true model of architecture resides in antiquity, but not all examples of antique architecture are now considered worthy of imitation. The essential can be grasped only after painstaking study and analysis of the originals, and a firm rejection of all distortions and developments. This meant, in effect, that only the Greek models were to be upheld” (Millard). See Millard British 19 and ESTC R19331 (for the first English edition 1664).

40 leaves, 8vo (207 x 129mm). In French. Written in cursive in dark brown ink. Bound in contemporary quarter calf, mottled boards (front joint splitting).

The text covers descriptions of 130 geranium species from different regions of the world. The first 17 comprise the standard varieties, while the remainder covers 113 irregular varieties (number 18 was apparently overlooked hence the discrepancy given in the title). They are listed with both their Latin and French names, the natural location of each species, along with their respective flowering season, citing L’Heritier, Cavahilles, Lamarck, Desfontaines, Miller, Linne, Willdenow, etc. Contains an unfinished index at the end of the volume.

George Louis Marie Dumont de Courset was a French botanist and agronomist. Born near Boulogne, he studied in Paris and showed an aptitude for music and drawing. He joined the military when he was 17 and became a second lieutenant. Sent to the south of France, he visited the Pyrenees and caught a passion for botany. He gave up his military career to return home to France to build an extensive garden that became famous for the diversity of plant species.

An Augsburg edition of the Calendarium of Regiomontanus (Johannes Müller from Königsberg in Prussia, 1436-1475) which was printed for the first time at his own press in Nuremberg, in 1474 and then, after his death, by Ratdolt first in Venice in 1476 and later in Augsburg. This copy lacking a blank and the final four leaves containing woodcut diagrams, one with volvelles and another with a brass pointer.

Regiomontanus, a pupil of Georg Peurbach, is one of the great figures in the history of mathematics and astronomy. His Calendarium is apparently the first application of modern scientific methods of astronomical calculation and observation to the problems of the calendar (Easter, etc.) and the accurate prediction of eclipses. It is known that Christopher Columbus carried with him on his fourth voyage either a manuscript copy or an actual 15th-century edition of this Calendarium.

Publisher’s black cloth, spine gilt-lettered (slight wear to extremities, minor creasing to spine, some spotting to edges); original first issue dust jacket (separation along front flap panel fold, some toning, soiling and chipping, with loss to “th” in “the” and and touching the “E” in “CATCHER” on spine). Provenance: Harry Weber (signature, October 1958).

FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, without “Reprinted July 1951” on copyright page. IN THE FIRST ISSUE DUST JACKET with the $3.00 price on the front flap and with the Lotte Jacobi photo credit on Salinger’s portrait on the rear panel. The novel’s protagonist, Holden Caulfield, has entered the pantheon of American literary heroes. “The Catcher in the Rye was a symptom of a need, after a ghastly war and during a ghastly pseudo-peace, for the young to raise a voice of protest against the failures of the adult world. The young used many voices--anger, contempt, self-pity--but the quietest, that of a decent perplexed American adolescent, proved the most telling” (Anthony Burgess, 99 Novels, pp. 53-54).

SCOTUS, Michael (1175-ca 1232). Liber physiognomiae. [Venice: Jacobus de Fivizzano, Lunensis], 1477.

4to (200 x 144 mm). Collation: a10 b–h8 i6 K6. 74 leaves (of 78, with the final blank but lacking g2-5). 23 lines. Type 112R. Initial spaces with guide letters. (Apparently washed with some early marginalia faded, the ink from a previously deleted passage has resulted in loss of a few letters on d6v, some gutter discoloration in quire g, minor marginal paperflaw on i4.) Late 18th- or early 19th-century half vellum gilt (joints splitting). Provenance: some early marginalia and annotations (washed); an early owner’s bibliographic notes on front flyleaf.

FIRST EDITION. Michael Scot’s contributions to Western science and philosophy include his translations from the Arabic of Aristotle’s De animalibus, Avicenna’s Abbreviatio de animalibus and Averros’ commentaries on Aristotle’s works (which he introduced to Europe). He is perhaps better known for his popular Liber physiognomiae, the third work in his quasi-scientific trilogy, the manuscript of which was presented to Frederick II of Sicily on the occasion of his 1 marriage. The title is somewhat misleading as only about half of the work is devoted to the subject. “Most of what appears as book I in the printed editions contains a detailed treatise on generation of human beings, with anatomical and physiological descriptions, information on the best time for conception, on sexual behavior, and on the state of the fetus during each of the nine months after conception. The rest of book I deals with differences between genera and species of animals. Books II and III contain the Physiognomia proper (apart from some chapters on dreams and auguries from sneezes). In these a systematic survey of the different parts of the body, in connection with the basic or other qualities affecting them, is meant to show how souls are intrinsically dependent for their natures on the bodies that they inhabit: ‘animae sequuntur corpus’” (DSB).  The censored passage in this copy on d6v has become legible as result of washing and reveals a passage dealing with abortion and induced childbirth. A wide-margined copy.

2 volumes, 8vo (210 x 130 mm). Engraved frontispiece in vol.I, 3 plates, 3 folding maps and plans, 1p. errata in vol.I. (Frontispiece and plates with minor marginal chipping or trimming, some light spotting and toning.) 19th-century blue half calf, marbled boards, spines gilt with brown morocco lettering-pieces gilt, top edges gilt (some light wear, spines slightly darkened). Provenance: Dudley Bell Priester (1923-2017), Mississippi River collector and bibliographer (sold Bloomsbury, 20 November 2009, lot 62).

FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH, preceded by the first edition in French, published in New Orleans in 1824. Beltrami, a member of the Long Expedition and a political refugee from Italy, traveled up the Mississippi River as well as the Red River to what is now Minnesota in their search to find the source of the Mississippi River. His writing is evocative. “He had much to say of the aborigines, and expatiates upon the natural history and scenery of the region he visited with intelligence and enthusiasm” (Tuckerman). After tension arose with Major Long, Beltrami continued his search alone. He discovered Lake Julia and claimed it was the source of the Mississippi River. The first edition met with harsh criticism, to which the preface to this edition responds by adding 2 letters, one describing western Pennsylvania and the other his ocean voyage.

HENNEPIN, Louis (1640-ca 1705). A New Discovery of the Vast Country in America, Extending above Four Thousand Miles, between New France and New Mexico. -- A Continuation... Giving an Account of the Attempts of the Sieur De la Salle upon the Mines of St Barbe... London: M. Bentley, J. Tonson, H. Bonwick, T. Goodwin and S. Manship, 1698. 2 volumes in one, 8vo (192 x 116 mm). Engraved title-page, 2 folding maps, 6 folding plates. (Some minor spotting; maps with some minor soiling and tears (some with repairs) and one backed in linen.) Later red morocco, edges gilt, stamp-signed by Lloyd, Wallis & Lloyd (slight rubbing to joints and extremities, a few minor scuffs to sides, boards very slightly bowed). Provenance: Dudley Bell Priester (1923-2017), Mississippi River collector and bibliographer (bookplate, sold Bloomsbury, 20 November 2009, lot 84).

FIRST ENGLISH EDITION, the so-called “Bon” issue (with the first line of the printers on the title-page ending in “Bon-”).  This work includes A Continuation of the New Discovery bound at the end with separate title-page and pagination, but with continuous signatures (see the Church copy).

One of the most important 17th-century accounts of the upper Midwest and Great Lakes regions. Louis Hennepin, Rene Robert Cavelier and Sieur de la Salle established Fort Crevecouer in Peoria, Illinois, and explored the upper Mississippi River before being captured by the Sioux. Hennepin reached St. Anthony’s Falls (near present-day Minneapolis, Minnesota) on a hunting expedition with the Sioux, which was the farthest a European man had traveled into the Northwest Territory at the time. Hennepin wrote his account of the journey in 1682 after being rescued by French voyager Daniel De Lhut and provides the first eye-witness account and first published views of Niagara falls. Despite Hennepin’s plagiarism of Le Clercq’s Etablissement de la foy, Hennepin’s works still provide “invaluable contributions to the sources of American history; they deserve study” (Thwaite). Graff 1862; Howes H-416; Lande 423; Pforzheimer 461; Sabin 31371; Streeter J106; Thwaite, 1903 edition, p.xlii; Wing H1450.

314 HUTCHINS, Thomas (1730-1789). An Historical Narrative and Topographical Description of Louisiana and West-Florida. Philadelphia: Printed for the author and sold by Robert Aitken, 1784.

8vo (219 x 133 mm). (Some soiling and toning, a few short tears not affecting text with repairs.) Later half red polished calf, marbled boards, spine gilt-lettered, top edge gilt, others uncut, stamp-signed by Sangorski & Sutcliffe (some minor scuffing, slight wear to corners and spine ends). Provenance: Aragent (signature on p.[5]); Dudley Bell Priester (1923-2017), Mississippi River collector and bibliographer (sold Bloomsbury, 20 November 2009, lot 85).

FIRST EDITION of this first-hand account by the “Geographer of the United States” (appointed in 1781). North American surveyor and cartographer Hutchins describes the natural features between West Florida and New Orleans paying particular attention to waterways. He was an early proponent of Manifest Destiny and argued for the United States to annex West Florida and Louisiana from Spain. This narrative resulted from his five years spent in the West Florida region completing surveys for first the British army and later for the Americans after he switched allegiances during the hostilities of the American Revolution. While the report was advertised as having a map, Streeter, Evans, and Sabin confirm no map has ever been located, and presumably, was never issued.

FIRST EDITION, Senate issue. Nicollet, a French-born scientist, accompanied John Charles Fremont on expeditions to the Red Pipestone Quarry in far Western Minnesota in 18381839. The present report resulted from the surveys of Fremont of 1842-1848, conducted by the U.S. Army’s Corps of Topographical Engineers. “The Corps, accompanied by scientists and artists, sponsored expeditions to promote development and settlement and actively publicized its findings” (William H. Goetzmann and Glyndwr Williams, The Atlas of North American Exploration, 1992, p. 158).

Nicollet’s “Map of the Hydrographic Basin of the Upper Mississippi River” was “based on some 90,000 instrument readings and 326 distinctly determined astronomical points. With its overall regional concept of a ‘hydrographic basin,’ Nicollet’s map and the accompanying report were years ahead of their time. Had he lived one more decade, Nicollet would undoubtedly have become the official government cartographer of the whole trans-Mississippi West” (Goetzmann, Exploration and Empire, 1993, p. 313).

JAMES ROSS’S COPY, INSCRIBED TO HIM BY THE EDITORS: “Hon. J. Ross, from the Editors.”

FIRST EDITION. Federalist politician and lawyer James Ross represented Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate from 1794 to 1803. These speeches were delivered on 24 February 1803 in support of Ross’s resolution to allow President Jefferson the ability to raise 50,000 troops to seize New Orleans, “vigorously upholding our rights in the disputed territory and advocating their defence [sic], if necessary, by armed force” (Eberstadt). Concerns about the American economy were sparked when Spain revoked America’s right to deposit in New Orleans in early 1803 (granted in the 1795 treaty between the two countries) in addition to France regaining control of Louisiana in 1800. The troops solicited in Ross’ speech gave U.S. Minister to France Robert R. Livingston the necessary leverage to negotiate the Louisiana Purchase.

JOHN ADAMS’S GRANDDAUGHTER’S BIBLE, WITH A PARTIAL PRESENTATION

NOTE PRESUMABLY IN ADAMS’S HAND.

The presentation note, accomplished on a front flyleaf, records the gift of the Bible from Adams to his granddaughter, Caroline Amelia DeWint: “John [Adams presents this sacred volume to his grand-daughter, Caroline] Amelia [de Wint, the only daughter of his beloved child, Abigail Smith, with] his bles[sing and affectionate advice to attend to the] examples of exalted piety and devine charity than [to the ingenious] disputations of learned men concerning texts of doubtful [or deficient] interpretation or metaphysical disquisitions on doctrinal points too profound perhaps for any understand merely human ever to decide or comprehend; but which, strange to tell, instead of producing peace and goodwill to men have deluged the Christian World in innocent blood. Quincy. July 28, 1815” A portion of the sheet bearing the inscription has been torn away, with portions of the first five lines supplied in facsimile.

[Bound in:] 8pp. family marriage, birth and death records written in several hands (a few leaves with marginal chipping and repairs).  Death records include notes about the deaths of John Adams (“My honored grandfather John Adams departed this life on the 4th of July 1825 at Quincy Massachusetts at the age of 90”), Abigail Adams, and John Quincy Adams.  Also included is an account of the death of Caroline Amelia De Windt, who drowned in the Hudson River on 28 July 1852 during the fire on the American side paddle wheel steamboat Henry Clay Also drowned in the disaster was Mrs. DeWindt’s son-in-law, Andrew Jackson Downing, a landscape architect from Newburgh New York, who was designing the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution at the time of his death, and who “was cool and collected and his last moments were spent in doing his utmost to save the lives of his fellow passengers.”

7 volumes, royal 8vo (260 x 165 mm). Half-titles, 500 HAND-COLORED LITHOGRAPHED PLATES after Audubon by W. E. Hitchcock, R. Trembly and others, printed and colored by J. T. Bowen, wood-engraved anatomical diagrams in text. (Some scant spotting, primarily to text leaves and tissue guards.) 19th-century morocco gilt, spines gilt, by P. Low Boston with their ticket (some light rubbing or wear to extremities, two spines slightly sunned). Provenance: Lydia E. E. Greene (presentation inscription, see below).

FIRST OCTAVO EDITION. PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY JOHN JAMES AUDUBON on the contents leaf of volume one: “Miss Lydia E. E. Greene with the affectionate good wishes of her friend and servant, John J. Audubon, Boston, June 8, 1844.” ADDITIONALLY INSCRIBED BY JOHN JAMES AUDUBON in volume two: “Miss Lydia, E. E. Greene; and may God bless her, with the sincerest wishes of her old friend and servant, John J. Audubon, Boston, June 8, 1844.” Though little is known of her association with Audubon, Lydia E. E. Greene became a Proprietor of the Boston Athenaeum in 1854.  Audubon spent only a few months living in Boston from 1832-1833, but the city made an impact; his wife Lucy wrote a friend that the city “is a more interesting place than any I have seen in the United States, and where we met with a most cordial welcome and obtained eight subscribers to our work [The Birds of America].” Audubon exhibited sketches of his Birds of America at the Boston Athenaeum in August 1832.

Audubon’s double-elephant folio edition of The Birds of America (1827-1838) established his reputation as the greatest ornithological artist of his time. Though that edition was published in London to ensure the quality of the plates, he employed the Philadelphia firm of J. T. Bowen to produce this more commercially viable edition under the close supervision of his sons.  The original subscription price was $100, and its commercial success granted Audubon financial security. To the original plate count included in the double-elephant folio edition, the octavo edition adds 65 new images for a total of 500 plates, making it “the most extensive color plate book produced in America up to that time” (Reese). Ayer/Zimmer, p.22; Bennett, p.5; McGill/Wood, p.208; Nissen IVB 51; Reese 34; Sabin 2364.

Later edition, the fourth octavo edition printed in Philadelphia. Beginning in 1821 U.S. Superintendent of Indian Trade Thomas McKenney commissioned artist Charles Bird King (1785-1862) to create portraits of Native American leaders who traveled to Washington in order to negotiate treaties with the federal government. Fearful that Native Americans as a people were threatened by the rapid expansion of settlers throughout the United States, it was McKenney’s aim to preserve “whatever of the aboriginal man which can be rescued from the destruction which awaits [him]” (Horan, p. 61). To generate further interest in the works, McKenney partnered with James Hall to write accompanying biographies of each sitter. Once the project was completed the portraits, now numbering 300 and including works by James Otto Lewis, Peter Rindisbacher, and Henry Inman, were donated to the Smithsonian Institution; all but 5 of the were destroyed by a fire in 1865.

WILSON, Woodrow (1856-1924). Two autograph letters signed, as President, to Senator James A. O’Gorman, 20 April and 5 May 1913, regarding the appointment of the Collector of the Port of New York, comprising:

WILSON. Autograph letter signed (“Woodrow Wilson”) as President, to Senator James A. O’Gordon. Washington, D. C. 20 April 1913. 3 pages, on a bifolia, on White House stationery, retaining original envelope marked “Personal and Confidential”

Wilson writes O’Gorman regarding his nominee for Collector of the Port of New York.   Wilson does not favor O’Gorman’s suggestion of Lawson Purdy, and writes that he will be nominating Frank Polk instead: “I would as soon think of asking the Secretary of the Treasury to take a man whom he did not feel he could act with as his first assistant in his Department as ask him to take a man whom he does not feel he can act with as Collector of the Port of New York... He has known Mr. Polk for a long time and intimately. He trusts him, believes in his capacity, feels that he is especially adapted to the duties of the office.” Wilson shares that he has had Mr. Polk vetted and would like to submit his name to the Senate to confirm the appointment.  He concludes: “I shall hope to have a talk with you again, fur a fuller statement of my feeling and obligation in the matter, before I send the nomination to the Senate.”

[With:] WILSON. Autograph letter signed (“Woodrow Wilson”) as President, to Senator James A. O’Gordon. Washington, D. C. 5 May 1913. 6 1/2 pages, on two bifolia, on White House stationery, retaining original envelope marked “Personal and Private”

An apparent response to the meeting mentioned in the previous letter between Wilson and O’Gorman.  Wilson writes to O’Gorman: “I was disturbed by what you said.  I am going to write you a few frank lines now in the hope that by so doing our thinking may never be at cross purposes again.” Wilson shares his thoughts with O’Gorman about his interpretation of the “Constitutional relationship between the President and individual Senators,” and his relationship with his cabinet.

Following their meeting, Wilson says that he was “anxious, after our talk, to find it possible to agree with you and give the appointment to Mr. Lawson Purdy,” but follows that after a detailed inquiry into Purdy’s background, finds “he would be regarded, whatever his personal character and quality, as representing a recognition by the Administration of the Tammany organization, now more than ever discredited in the eyes of the country.”  Ultimately, Wilson nominated John Purroy Mitchell to the position.

[Also with:] WILSON. A group of 7 typed letters signed (“Woodrow Wilson”), as President, to Senator O’Gorman, June 1913-April 1917. Each one page, on White House stationery. Typically acknowledging the receipt of a letter. In one letter, dated 12 April 1917, Wilson thanks O’Gorman for his “spirit of patriotism which prompted your generous offer of service,” sent days after the United States declared war on the German Empire, and apparently in response to O’Gorman’s public offer to pick up a rifle and stand at post.

[Also with:] ROOSEVELT, Franklin Delano (1882-1945). Typed letter signed (“Franklin D. Roosevelt”), as President. To Mrs. O’Gorman. 1 page, on White House Stationery. Offering his condolences on the death of her husband James O’Gorman.  -- Engraved invitation to Wilson’s Inauguration, 4 March 1913. $800 - 1,200

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

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

Appraisals

Our exceptional team of specialists regularly appraises property by analyzing market trends and conducting comprehensive research. Specialists evaluate thousands of objects each year for auction, allowing them to closely monitor the nuances of the current market.

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

• Estate Tax

• Charitable Contribution

• Insurance

• Appraisals for Corporate Valuation Needs

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

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

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

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:

– 20,000

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

Updated 1.13.23

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

Conditions of Sale

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

A. BEFORE THE AUCTION

1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES

Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance— are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact. Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot.

2. CONDITION

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

3. VIEWING LOTS

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

4.

ESTIMATES

Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges.

5. WITHDRAWAL

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

B. REGISTERING TO BID

1. GENERAL

We reserve the right to reject any bid. By participating in the sale, you represent and warrant that:

(a) The bidder and/or purchaser is not subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or any other restriction on trade in the jurisdiction in which it does business as well as under the laws and regulations of the United States, and is not owned (nor partly owned) or controlled by such sanctioned person(s) (collectively, “Sanctioned Person(s)”); (b) Where you are acting as agent, your principal is not a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by Sanctioned Person(s); and

(c) The bidder and/or purchaser undertakes that none of the purchase price will be funded by any Sanctioned Person(s), nor will any party be involved in the transaction including financial institutions, freight forwarders or other forwarding agents or any other party be a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by a Sanctioned Person(s), unless such activity is authorized in writing by the government authority having jurisdiction over the transaction or in applicable law or regulation.

2. NEW BIDDERS

New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity.

(a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s

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

3. RETURNING BIDDERS

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

4. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON

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

5. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM

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

6. OUR BIDDING SERVICES

We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services.

(a) Phone Bids: You must contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction to arrange a phone bid. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff is available to take the bids. We agree that we may record telephone bids.

(b) Internet Bids: You can bid in our live sales via our bidding platform or through third-party bidding sites.

(c) Written Bids: You can find a Written Bid Form at the auction location, or online at www.hindmanauctions.com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least twenty-four (24) hours before the auction. We will endeavor to execute written bids at the lowest possible price consistent with the reserve. If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids.

7. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD

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

C. DURING THE AUCTION

1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION

(a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding.

(b) Online Auctions. The auctioneer will accept bids from Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding.

(c) Timed Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion.

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-six percent (26%) of the hammer price up to and including $1,000,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $1,000,001 up to and including $5,000,000; and fifteen percent (15%) of any amount in excess of $5,000,001. 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

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.
