HOLBROOK, JOHN EDWARDS

North American Herpetology; or, A Description of the Reptiles Inhabiting the United States. Philadelphia: J. Dobson: 1836-1838. 3 vols. (a further vol. was issued in 1840, according to Bennett). 4to, rebound in modern navy cloth with gilt-lettered leather spine labels, endpapers renewed. 83 hand-colored lithographed plates by Lehman & Duval of reptiles. The scarce first edition of this celebrated study of American herpetology. Holbrook, a leading physician and herpetologist of his day, destroyed most copies of the first production of his magnum opus, leading these first printing lithographs to be exceedingly rare. The present copy is from the collection of noted herpetologist and physician, Dr. Sherman Minton, of Indianapolis. Dr. Minton was a pioneer in the study of venomous reptiles and toxicology, and, not unlike Holbrook, collected herpetological specimens to further his research abroad in countries such as Pakistan. The set was gifted to Dr. Minton by his wife, Madge Rutherford Minton, who had them rebound by the Senate library. The majority of plates with wide margins and exceptionally bright coloring, most with original tissue guards. Tears to title pages on vols. 2 and 3; intermittent foxing mainly to text pages. Property from the Estate of Dr. Sherman Minton, Indianapolis, Indiana $8,000-12,000

Yaggy’s Geographical Study Comprising Physical Political Geological and Astronomical Geography. Composed by Levi Walter Yaggy. Chicago: Western Publishing House, 1887. Atlas folio, chromolithographed title with large vignette of the world, two chromolithographed plates (one double-page, one mounted as a front endpaper with three large overslips), one celestial chart mounted on card with five flaps opening to reveal opaque sections (two of these with moveable parts), seven double-page maps (two hemispheric world maps, and five maps of the continents), one hand-colored plaster-of-Paris relief map of the United States built into the rear endpaper, original cloth-covered wooden carrying case, with flaps and leather ties. First edition. An exceptionally rare children’s teaching aid and an important example of grand-scale color lithography in American printing history, including a rare handpainted relief map of the United States and one of the largest color plates ever produced. Constructed under the supervision of the American cartographer Henry Gannett, Yaggy’s extraordinary atlas provided students with a hands-on experiential geography lesson: levers move and flaps lift up to reveal sections of the continents, layers of the earth’s crust, parts of the solar system (rotation of the planets, phases of the moon, constellations, etc.); large-scale maps made especially “for class work” have dots for teachers to direct their pointers to specific cities and points of interest, and the impressive large relief map at the end. A few tears to the maps and title page; lacking one of the metal levers for the astronomical chart, a 1-inch portion of the relief map (not a relief portion, southern Texas) has come detached, and there is some wear to the case. However, all of the flaps remain intact along with the original leather straps of the carrying case, and the lithography is still in excellent condition with very bright coloring. $4,000-6,000

Theorica & practica militaris. Das ist eigendtlicher bericht alles dessen so in kriegssachen beides zu landt und zu wasser zu bedencken und zu thun vonnoethen ist. Frankfurt am Main: Nicolas Hoffmann, 1617. [Bound with:] Tyrocinium. Das ist bericht und ubung nach welchem angehende soldaten sollen in allerhandt waffen abgericht werden... By Bartolomeo Pelliciari. Frankfurt am Main: Antonio Hummen, (1616). 2 vols. in one. 8vo, full later vellum. First printings in German of these two influential military treatises. Illustrated with engraved title pages and nine double-page battlefield views in the Pelliciari. The views recreate fictional battle scenes to exhibit tactics outlined by Pelliciari in the text.

From the Indian Gallery in the Department of War, at Washington. Vol. I: [Philadelphia: Frederick W. Greenough, 1836], Vol. II: Philadelphia: Daniel Rice and James G. Clark, 1842, Vol. III: Philadelphia: Daniel Rice and James G. Clark, 1844. 3 vols. Atlas folio, publisher’s original three-quarter brown morocco over brown cloth, elaborately gilt-tooled and lettered spines, yellow endpapers, gilt title to upper boards, a.e.g. An unsophisticated set with only hinges reinforced and no repairs. Mixed editions, vol. I lacking title page, vol. II title page BAL state B, vol. III title page BAL state A. With 117 (of 120) color lithographed plates heightened with gum arabic in mixed states, including numerous proof copies. Vol. 1: Early mixed state. With 45 (of 48) plates. [1]-120, [125]-206, [2, blank]. Lacking title, contents, 4 pp. War Dance... Explanation of the Plate, (which subscribers were directed to remove and replace with a corrected version later), pp. 121-124 and two portrait lithographs, comprising [seated] Chippeway Squaw and Child and O-kee-makee-quid. Vol. 2: Title page in BAL state B. [2, blank], [1-2], 5-237, [2, blank]. Complete with 48 plates. Erratum slip inserted at p. 58. Lacking pp. 3-4. Vol. 3: Title page in BAL state A. [2, blank], [4], [1]-196, [2, Pocahontas], [3, blank]. Complete with 24 plates plus sheet with two lithographic maps and one table. Lacking 17-page subscriber’s list. The plates are faithful copies of portraits painted from life by Charles Bird King. The original paintings later perished in the Smithsonian fire of 1865 so their appearance in this set preserves the only known likenesses of many of the most prominent Indian leaders of the nineteenth century. The idea of creating an extensive biography and portrait gallery of the North American Indian tribes was coined by Thomas L. McKenney, the first Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, based on personal interviews with the subjects. He enlisted the assistance of journalist and attorney James Hall, who, following McKenney’s release from his position at the Smithsonian, assisted in completing the biographies and general history. The resulting portfolio is widely considered “one of the most distinctive and important books in Americana” (Reese). Originally issued in 20 parts, rebound sets are typically combinations of first and later printings of plates, and subscribers were given the opportunity to complete incomplete or damaged sets at no additional cost. Boards worn with rubbing to spine ends and corners; hinges weak and reinforced; boards starting to detach vol. III; intermittent foxing, some dampstaining, mainly marginal and to text pages; a few tears, mainly textual; many tissue guards present; even toning to plates. Otherwise plates are in good condition with exceptionally dark and bright coloring.

KAHLO, FRIDA

Frida Kahlo’s own personal copy of The Works of Edgar Allen Poe, vol. III (New York: Thomas Nelson, 1905) containing multiple inscriptions, collages and drawings by Kahlo. Following the index, Kahlo has inscribed, in black crayon, the following: “Pues si, Frida Kahlo. Auxocromo Cromoforo.” The dates 1922 and 1945 are inscribed to the left of a circle within which is written the number 23. To the right of the circle are the numbers 12 and 35 and an infinity symbol. Beneath the series of numbers is the word “always.” The book is divided into three parts. While certain poems, such as the “The Man that was Used Up” (p. 44) in the first and second part of the book are marked with dried flowers, Kahlo restricts her collages to the poems within the third part, which begins with Poe’s iconic poem, “The Raven” (p. 9). On the page facing the poem, Kahlo has written in the same black crayon “Auxocromo Cromoforo.” The title of the poem, along with a dried leaf, have been painted over with bold red paint. A similar collage appears on p. 21 with the poem “Ulalume.” Just outside the red painted collage she has again written “Auxocromo Cromoforo.” The third collage appears on pp. 28-29, the poem “Annabel Lea.” In this instance, four leaves are painted over along with all of the text on these two pages. “Auxocromo Cromoforo” is written at the bottom of p. 28. The artist’s final inscription, with the same two words repeated, is written beneath the last stanza of the final poem, signalling the end of the collection. “Auxocromo Cromoforo,” the phrase repeated throughout, refers to a poem Kahlo wrote in her diary (p. 20) regarding her husband, Diego Rivera. In the poem, she writes: “Mi Diego, Esejo de la noche ... tue te llamaras Auxocromo el que capta el color. Yo Cromoforo - la que da el color. Tu eras todas las combinaciones de los numeros.” [My Diego, Mirror of the Night ... You could be called Auxocromo - the one who takes color. I Cromoforo - the one who gives the color. You are all the combinations of the numbers.] Dr. Luis-Martin Lozano, a noted art historian and expert on the works of Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism, who has published extensively on the works of Frida Kahlo, has personally examined the item and has provided the following in depth interpretation of the number sequence: Frida Kahlo met Diego Rivera in 1922; she wrote in the book in 1945; she met Diego when she was 12 (actually 15, but she claimed she was born in 1910 to appear younger) and he was 35; the 23 refers not only to the years between when she wrote in the book and she met Diego (1922-1945), but also to their difference in age. These numbers and connections are coupled with the word “always” and the symbol for “infinity.” The inscriptions and collages in Kahlo’s personal copy of The Works of Edgar Allen Poe form an extraordinary record of the artist’s creative process in addition to revealing an important literary influence of her work. The item demands further study of Frida Kahlo’s motivations, her selection of specific works, and the pointed references to her relationship with Diego Rivera.

Conditions of Sale LESLIE HINDMAN AUCTIONEERS, INC. AS AGENT The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.

BEFORE THE SALE Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding.

Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids. Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot.
