9 [EINSTEIN, Albert]. KARSH, Yousuf (1908-2002), photographer. Group of 4 photographs of Albert Einstein. Ca 1948 (but printed later, ca 1959).

4 glossy black and white 8 x 10-in. portrait photographs of Albert Einstein, copyright notice stamped on verso, each numbered by hand verso in pencil (“No:4,” No:8,” No:24,” No:25”).

With original mailing envelope from Karsh, postmarked 21 August 1959, including the typed note: “Photographs for Record Purposes Only.” Provenance: Dr. Herbert McLean Evans (18821971), anatomist and embryologist known for co-discovering Vitamin E (original mailing envelope); acquired from Jeremy Norman.

Einstein sat for Karsh at Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study, where Karsh found him “a simple, kindly, almost childlike man, too great for any of the postures of eminence. One did not have to understand his science to feel the power of his mind or the force of his personality.

He spoke sadly, yet serenely, as one who had looked into the universe, far past mankind’s small affairs. When I asked him what the world would be like were another atomic bomb to be dropped, he replied wearily, ‘Alas, we will no longer be able to hear the music of Mozart’.”

FIRST EDITION, accompanied by a photocopy of a 29 April 1947 letter sent by Albert Einstein to Rabbi Weinstein on Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists stationery. In his message, Einstein remarks: “Dr. Hecht has succeeded in giving, clearly and simply, an authoritative account of the scientific steps, both theoretical and experimental, that have led to our present knowledge of nuclear fission.” Also laid in are photocopies of correspondence between the Thomas Sills and Dr. John Stachel, first editor of the Einstein Papers Project, in which Sills reports that Rabbi Weinstein is “known for his work in antinuclear and peace movements.” Einstein apparently gave several copies of Hecht’s book as gifts with an accompanying letter.

(1885-1954) published a paper in 1921 where he linked gravitation and electromagnetism using Einstein’s gravitation equations for 5 dimensions, instead of 4. In February 1927, Einstein published these “papers on the five-dimensional theory are two short communications” where “his improved treatment [of the Kaluza theory] turns out to be identical with the work of Klein” (Pais, Subtle is the Lord, pp. 344, 333).

Folio (approximately 287 x 195 mm), disbound. 155 leaves only (of 360), most with hand-coloring. (Some minor soiling, spotting or browning to some leaves.) Leaves loose in a pigskin binding blind-stamped “PS” and dated 1613 on upper cover (lacking clasps and catches, minor wear). Provenance: H.M.

The present partial copy was apparently acquired by Berliner and Corey with the goal to collaborate on a leaf book.

Corey made a study of the book and completed an introduction, but the project was never completed. See Goff H-487; see Hain-Copinger 8941; see Nissen BBI 2363.

He viewed electricity not just as another branch of physics but “as an aid to the interpretation of nature,” and saw the study of electromagnetism “as a means of promoting the progress of science” (Preface, p. vii). Maxwell advanced “the significant hypothesis that light and electricity are the same in their ultimate nature” (Grolier/ Horblit). “He began the investigation of moving frames of reference, which in Einstein’s hands were to revolutionize physics; gave proofs of the existence of electromagnetic waves that paved the way for Hertz’s discovery of radio waves; worked out connections between the electrical and optical qualities of bodies that would lead to modern solid-state physics; and applied Tait’s quaternion formulae to the field of equations, out of which Heaviside and Gibbs would develop vector analysis” (Norman 1466).

Selections from the Collection of Dr. Eugene Vigil and the Remaining Stock of Antiquariat Botanicum Lots 67-192

Chicago native Dr. Eugene L. Vigil began his career as a scientist, earning his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Iowa in 1967. From 1971-1988, Dr. Vigil taught Botany at Marquette University and the University of Maryland. He was appointed plant physiologist in 1988 for the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture until 1995, when he was appointed Program Director for the NIH. Dr. Vigil is a leader in botanical science and industry, advancing our understanding of plant cell organization. He transitioned to full-time bookselling in 2001.

As a person of Hispanic and Navajo descent, Dr. Vigil has sought to encourage young Hispanic and Indigenous students to STEM fields. Since 1995, he has devoted his time to helping other minority scientists achieve success and is a Life Member of the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics & Native Americans in Science (SACNAS).

Vigil was first introduced to the book trade through his interest in gardening, specifically teaching himself how to build a rock garden. His surplus of gardening books after these explorations prompted him to find a way to sell them, leading him to his second career as a bookseller. He founded Antiquariat Botanicum in 1987, where he has sold books from the 15th to the 20th centuries on Botany, Gardening, Mathematics, Medicine, Natural History, and Science and Technology, as well as Travel and Exploration. The antiquarian materials he sold reflect his knowledge of botany, cell biology, the history of biomedical science. Vigil has been a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of American (ABAA) since 1999, and is a member, by affiliation, of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB). Hindman is pleased to offer selections from his collection and the remaining stock of Antiquariat Botanicum, and will offer further selections in 2022.

FIRST HERVAGIUS EDITION OF EUCLID IN LATIN, containing the complete works derived from Zanetti’s 1505 translation, and including comments by Campanus, Hypiciles, and the rare preface by Philip Melanchthon, removed by censors in many copies.

DANISH ASTRONOMER CHRISTEN SORENSEN LONGOMONTANUS’S COPY WITH HIS SIGNATURE. Longomontanus was Tycho Brahe’s assistant at the astronomical observatory of Uraniborg in 1589.

There, Brahe, Longomontanus and Kepler worked to try to develop a theory to predict longitude at oppositions with complete accuracy. He had good “skill at manipulating observational data, and he may have played an important role in Tycho’s remarkable research on the lunar theory” (DSB).

He visited Frauenburg, where Copernicus had made his observations, and took a master’s degree at Rostock. He was elected in 1605 to a professorship in the University of Copenhagen, where we became chair of mathematics in 1607, a position he held until his death.

Longomontanus developed Tycho’s geoheliocentric model of the universe to public acceptance. When Tycho died in 1601, he had not yet completed his program for the restoration of astronomy. Though the observational aspects were complete, Longomontanus selected and integrated the data into accounts of the motion of the planets and presented the results, which he published in his Astronomia Danica of 1622. Though Kepler›s Rudolphine Tables of 1627, based on Tycho›s observations, are often believed to be more accurate than any previous tables, Longomontanus›s tables, published in 1622, also based on Tycho›s observations, were demonstrably more accurate.

8vo (160 x 90 mm). Engraved frontispiece, one engraved plate; 1p. publisher’s advertisements at end.

FIRST EDITION. In his introduction, Louis Le Vasseur describes the three articles, and explains their inclusion in the work. Grew’s article, originally published in English, has been translated to French of the importance of his experiments. Boyle’s treatise includes information on 24 experiments, 12 dealing with flavors, and 12 dealing with odors. Le Vasseur explains that he decided to include Leeuwenhoek’s article because his experiments and observations on blood and milk are worthy of the curiosity of scholars. The treatise by Leeuwenhoek contains five articles written between April 1674 and February 1678, providing observations for experiments conducted in April, June and July 1674, August 1675, and February 1678. The fifth article, apparently unrecorded in Dobell, may be published here for the first time. In these articles, Leeuwenhoek describes in particular the deformability and agglutination of red blood cells.

(Two tears with losses repaired to title-page not affecting text, lacking pp.75-76, presumably blank.) Contemporary quarter sheep uncut (some minor rubbing or soiling.)

A portion of the surveying exercise appears to come from William Leybourn’s The Compleat Surveyor (see the fourth edition, published 1679, pp. 292-294). Evans personalizes his ciphering book on the first page, including a drawing of his rooster, “Belon is Narr Cock›s Father or the Bony Cock a Doodle Doo.” The drawing includes the rooster’s spurs, with a note: “Spurr um up my Boy.” Evans also includes an aphorism about doing good deeds. $1,000 - 1,500

The manuscript includes a variety of mathematical problems and solutions, including trigonometry and geometry. Though pp.75-76 are missing, p.77 is blank, and p.78 opens a new section titled “Problema I.” The hand is incredibly neat throughout, and the errata tipped in in the same holograph suggest the work is the author’s own copy. It is presumably part of a larger work, as a footnote on p.33 refers to “Farragine Matematica A.” The Bern Dibner collection at Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology at the Smithsonian Institution Libraries hold a copy of a 74pp. manuscript lettered in red and black ink also entitled “Farragine matematica,” further suggesting the present manuscript is part of a larger work. $600 - 800

FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST IMPORTANT ENGLISH TREATISE ON HORTICULTURE, PRESUMABLY SIGNED BY JOHN PARKINSON Parkinson was apothecary to James I, and later Royal Botanist to Charles I. He was a founding member of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in December 1617. One of the most eminent gardeners of the day, he kept a botanical garden at Long Acre in Covent Garden, close to present-day Trafalgar Square. The presumed signatures of Parkinson occur on the verso of the engraved title (along with the note “Natury Secretarie”), and on the dedication leaf.

Parkinson commissioned specially cut woodblocks copied from drawings in other Latin herbals for his work, rather than rely on specialist printers who owned a set of illustrations to be used in multiple works. “Since each block was the size of a full page and contained images of up to ten plants, the entire block had to be cut again if there were any mistakes...His books of plants would be the last to appear with wooden cuts, soon to be replaced by copperplate engravings...Yet the illustrations in the Paradisus are part of its charms” (A. Parkinson Nature’s Alchemist, p.105). his work remains one of the best single sources of information on early 17th-century gardening practices and styles in England, “in such a delightful, homey style that gardeners cherish it to the present day” (Hunt).

Sacro Bosco’s Sphaera Mundi, in which he sets out the basic principles of spherical astronomy, was widely commented upon, corrected and republished across Europe. First written in about 1220, the Sphaera Mundi is “a small work based on Ptolemy and his Arabic commentators antedating the De sphaera of Grosseteste. It was quite generally adopted as the fundamental astronomy text, for often it was so clear that it needed little or no explanation. It was first used at the University of Paris and from the middle of the thirteenth century it was taught in all the schools of Europe. In the sixteenth century it gained the attention of mathematicians, including Clavius. As late as the seventeenth century it was used as a basic astronomy text” (DSB XII, p. 61).

FIRST EDITION of Torricelli’s twelve previously unpublished lectures, delivered to the Accademia della Crusca, the Studio Fiorentino, and the Academy of Drawing, mainly relating to physics. “From the point of view of physics, the lectures on the force of impact and on wind are of particular interest.

In the former he said that he was reporting ideas expressed by Galileo in their informal conversations, and there is no lack of original observations.

For example, the assertion that ‘forces and impetus’ (what we call energy) lie in bodies was interpreted by Maxwell in the last paragraph of A Treatise on Electricty and Magnetism (1873) as meaning that the propagation of energy is a mediate and not remote action. In the lecture on wind Torricelli ... advanced the modern theory that winds are produced by differences of air temperature, and hence of density, between two regions of the earth” (DSB).

195 [CIVIL WAR]. [THE SIEGE AND BURNING OF WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA]. Washington, N.C., April 28-30, 1864.

4to broadside (250 x 196 mm). Typed document, printed recto only, docketed in pencil on verso, Morehead City, Cartaret County, 21 May 1864.

(Some toning, a few tiny holes or separations along creases.) Provenance: Levi Stubbs (signature verso).

A CONTEMPORANEOUS ACCOUNT OF AFTERMATH OF THE BATTLE OF PLYMOUTH AND THE SIEGE OF WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA Plymouth, North Carolina, which had been held by the Union, fell to rebel troops on April 20th, following a successful river campaign by the rebels.

The gunboat CSS Albemarle encountered the USS Southfield and the USS Miami, sinking the former and sending the latter into retreat. (“The town of Plymouth--twenty-eight miles from here--was attacked by the rebels who sent an iron clad down the Roanoke river...In losing the town we also lost two vessels of the navy”).

The troops gathered in nearby Washington, NC were forced to retreat after the rebels seized the town on April 27: “This town is to be evacuated in a few hours. The troops are getting upon the boats as fast as possible.”

On Friday, the 29th, the author writes: “The rebels did not come to town last night. Nearly all the troops are gone, and the town, of late so lively, is growing as quiet as a graveyard. A few citizens alone remain.” Later on April 30, the author writes: “The evacuation of the town has been accomplished in the most peaceable manner.” According to rebel reports, though, fires broke out across the town as the last of the troops prepared to board ships, destroying much of the settlement. $300 - 500

195A [CONFEDERATE ARMY]. Appomattox Parole for Private N[oel] E. Burton, Company F, 13th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry.

N.C.I.” A RARE CIVIL WAR PAROLE FROM APPOMATTOX General Order 43, dated April 11, 1865, stated that officers and enlisted men of the Army of Northern Virginia must carry a printed certificate from Appomattox Court House in order to be identified as a paroled prisoner.

The 13th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry was organized at Garysburg, North Carolina, in May 1861 with 1,100 men, recruited from Caswell, Mecklenburg, Davie, Edgecombe, and Rockingham counties. Ordered to Virginia, the unit shared in the many campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia from Williamsburg (March-July 1862) to Cold Harbor (May-June 1864), and endured the hardships of the Petersburg trenches south of the James River. They took part in the Appomattox campaign from March to April 1865, during which the rebel army endured 500 casualties. General Robert E. Lee was determined to make one last attempt to escape the closing Union forces to reach supplies at Lynchburg. The rebel troops advanced, initially gaining ground, before they were stopped in their tracks by the Union infantry, surrounding Lee on three sides. Lee surrendered to Grant on April 9, and the Appomattox campaign was the final engagement of the war in Virginia. $2,000 - 3,000

FIRST EDITION of this “important and highly esteemed work, containing the celebrated letters of Cortes to the Emperor Charles V. This edition is illustrated with copious notes and documents, together with facsimiles of the Mexican mode of representing the tributes paid by the different towns in Mexico. These pictures, more complete and colored like the originals are included in Lord Kingsborough’s Antiquities of Mexico” (Sabin). “Pages 322-328 contain an account of the voyage of Cortes to the peninsula of California and notices of later expeditions to 1769. The map of Castillo was inserted to illustrate this account, which Lorenzana states was copied from the original in the Archives of the Marquesado, that is, of the Cortes family.

Since that time the original has never appeared, so we are still at a loss to know whether Castillo or Lorenzana put the name ‘California’ on the map” (Wagner, Spanish Southwest 152). Palau 63204; Sabin 16938.

Instead, they attacked and killed Teubeuf, wounded his son and niece, and looted his home.

As explained in the broadside, Brown and Barrow were captured in New Design, Illinois in May 1796, but they later escaped. They were never captured. The broadside includes detailed physical descriptions of each.

100 x 62 mm. Portrait on lettered mount.

RARE IMAGE OF THE DESTROYER OF THE CSS ALBEMARLE. Cushing, an officer in the United States Navy, was known for engaging in risky attacks on Rebel installations. The CSS Albemarle, a steam-powered ironclad gunboat ram, dominated the Roanoke River and approaches to Plymouth through the summer of 1864. On the night of 27-28 October 1864, Cushing and 21 men worked their way up the Roanoke River in an attempt to capture the Albemarle, where they were spotted by a sentry and came under heavy fire. Cushing rammed his steam launch into the Albemarle at full speed, and when her spar was against the ironclad’s hull, Cushing detonated the torpedo’s charge. The raid blew a hole in the Albemarle’s hull, and she sank immediately. For his leadership in sinking the CSS Albemarle, Cushing received the Thanks of Congress, and five ships in the U.S. Navy have been named USS Cushing in his honor.

1 page, 8vo, written on lined paper, some minor creasing or soiling, backed with thin layer of japan tissue.

The document, presumably written by an aide, recommends Trotter, also known as Ses-sa, and identifies the bearer as “an Osage Warrior... [who] accompanied by command on the late winter’s campaign and marches, and participated in the battle of the ‘Washita’.” The endorsement concludes: “I believe him to be a good Indian, and a valuable scout and trailer.” In addition to signing the document, Custer filled in the bearer’s name. As a result of The Battle of Washita River, regarded as the first substantial U. S. Victory in the Southern Plains War, a large portion of the Southern Cheyenne were forced onto a U.S.-assigned reservation. $3,000 - 5,000

The lack of any great detail still reflects the official policy of protecting Spanish knowledge of the New World; despite this the outline of the map is accurate. The only name to appear in North America is ‘la florida’” (Burden 197). The map also shows a small portion of present-day Baja California.

Burnet wrote his review of Houston’s life in response to Charles Edwards Lester’s Sam Houston and HIs Republic, which was factually inaccurate. According to Raines, Burnet wrote to a friend: “’I have some idea of answering some of its misstatements and in order to do so am anxious to collect all the facts possible relating to the campaign of ‘36. The book is full of falsehood—every truth is turned upside down.’ He bemoaned Houston as “the prince of Humbugs,” and detailed errors, exaggerations, and what he called outright lies. No one seems to have doubted that Houston had himself written the book. ...About the same time an anonymous pamphlet appeared, printed by J.T. Towers in Washington, entitled Life of General Sam Houston, obviously derived from the Lester volume....The Towers pamphlet, he said, is but a repetition of the same falsehoods and the same absurd distortions of character” (see Raines 126n). The Center for American History at the University of Texas holds a copy of these two works bound together. $1,500 - 2,500

220 [MATAGORDA PROPRIETORS]. Partly printed document accomplished in manuscript. A land deed signed by two of the proprietors, both Old Three Hundreds, Ira Ingram and Elias Wightman. [San Felipe de Austin: Printed by G.B. Cotten, 1830 or early 1831].

1 page, oblong 8vo, annotated verso, lightly browned, old creasing, a few tiny chips. Provenance: Acquired Dorothy Sloan (11 December 2009, Sale 22, lot 383).

“Town of Matagorda, April 4th, 1831. This Certifies, That, at the sale of In and Out-Lots in said town, held on the date hereof—Daniel D.D. Baker became the highest bidder for Lots No. 5 & 6, in Block No. 2 & Tier No. 4 in the Colorado front of said town…”. Ingram, the first alcalde of Matagorda, and Wightman, surveyor and partner of Stephen F. Austin in the founding of Matagorda, signed the original deed, as did Daniel D. D. Baker, who attempted to found the town of Preston on the lot. Ownership records the transfer of one lot to Hamilton Cook, who was from an Old Three Hundred family.

FIRST PRINTING of a broadside relating to early printing in Texas.

According to Streeter (locating only one copy): This certificate is in effect a form for a deed. It and the entry No. 18.2 were not available for [earlier] inclusion with the other early forms. Mr. John C. Wyllie, Librarian of the University of Virginia and a recognized authority on type, has examined the photostats of these two forms for me and reports that they were undoubtedly printed on the press Godwin B. Cotten had set up at San Felipe in the fall of 1829. The date of printing was probably 1830 or early 1831. From the manuscript records, formerly in my collection and now at Yale, of meetings of ‘Proprietors of the town of Matagorda’ held on August 1 and 2, 1830, and on January 28, 1831, it appears (records of the January 28, 1831, meeting) that Stephen F. Austin held a quarter interest or two shares in the partnership or association known as ‘Proprietors of the town of Matagorda,’ and Ira Ingram a three-eighths interest, with Seth Ingram, H.H. League, and Elias Wightman each holding a one-eighth interest, and that what is referred to in the Minutes as the ‘constitution’ of the Proprietors was adopted on July 8, 1830. ...The ‘Out’ lots of the ‘In and Out’ lots referred to in the certificate were the lots not included in the laid-out blocks making up the center of the town” (Streeter Texas 18.1). $800 - 1,200

THE FIRST PRINTING OF FEDERALIST PAPER XII, printed on p.94, in the first and second column. Written by Hamilton, the Federalist Paper XII concerns the establishment of currency and the collection of revenue. Hamilton argues that taxes should be levied on imports and exports, and recommends that the federal government administer tax collection to reduce the amount of resources needed to ensure taxes aren’t being evaded. He asserts that funding the government is essential. It would be easier for the federal government to protect one border on the Atlantic Ocean, rather than ask each state to protect its borders, and ships stationed at America’s ports would ensure the collection of duties. $500 - 700 226A [NEWSPAPER - DEPARTMENT OF STATE].

Broadside (309 x 210 mm). Woodcut vignette of an eagle holding a shield at head. (Horizontal crease, small marginal inkspot.) Provenance: Darrel Brown (sold Heritage, December 2007).

RARE PROSPECTUS FOR AN EARLY TEXAS NEWSPAPER Gaceta was first printed on Friday, 11 January 1833 and was published through 1835. Though the printing schedule changed often, copies were initially issued every Monday and Friday, and readers could get copies for “un peso cada mes, para la capital, y diez reales para afuera franco de porte” [one peso each month, for the capital, and ten reals for outside carriage-free]. The prospectus cites a need for a newspaper in the region that would keep readers well-informed about both local and national news. Gaceta was well-read, but its popularity was challenged by Diario del Gobierno, a government publication which was released at about the same time. Copies of Gaceta are known in only two institutional collections: the Saltillo Archives, and the Texas State Library.

RARE ISSUE OF AN EARLY TEXAS NEWSPAPER Between 1829 and 1835, the government of Coahuila and Texas issued four periodicals, of which Gaceta was the second most prominent. This issue includes a July 8 communication from Rafael Eca y Musquiz, Minister of the Supreme Court, to don Miguel Falcon, Governor of the State, whereby President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna has asked Musquiz to assume the Executive Power of the state to “calm the spirit of discord in Texas and to apply the severity of the law to those who attempt to pervert the tranquility and excite commotion” (translated).

In May, then-governor Agustine Viesca left Monclova with the government archives intending to establish Bexar (present-day San Antonio) as the capital of the department of Texas. The issue includes an editorial commenting on the actions of Viesca and the two opposing parties within the government of Mexico: “We believe, without fear of error, that in the Texas Colonies there does not exist aims of overthrowing the government...” (translated). The editorials printed within this issue are in support of General Cos’ 5 July Proclamation, issued at Matamoros, warning the inhabitants of the three departments of Texas (San Antonio de Bexar, La Bahia, and Nacogdoches) that any actions in favor of the former authorities will cause war. 45-days after this issue, General Cos commenced his march with 500 soldiers from Matamoros to San Antonio, igniting the first fire in Texas’ battle for independence.

2 pages, 4to, 304 x 193, on a single lined sheet, creased, a few separations to folds, a few faint pencil marks. Provenance: Acquired Dorothy Sloan (11 December 2009, Sale 22, lot 502).

Seeking reimbursement for an 1839 expedition in which they participated. The text begins: “State of Texas County of Bexar. Know all men by these presents, that we the undersigned having full confidence in John James of San Antonio do hereby appoint him our true and lawful agent and attorney in fact for us and in our names to ask for, claim, and secure pay for certain services rendered by us in the Year 1839 to the Late Republic of Texas (say in July) in a campaign against the Comanches under Col Henry W. Karnes, John A. Seguín being Captain of the Company….” With 21 signatures (complete list available on request).

Henry Wax Karnes organized an expedition to drive Comanche out of the area in response to Governor Lamar’s call for action against hostile Comanche who had killed for Bexar surveyors in May 1839, William P. Delmour, clerk of the San Antonio court, who was murdered on May 28, and several other men in the area. Two companies of volunteers were raised, one of Mexicans and one of Americans, and Seguín was elected captain of the Mexican force of about 54 men under Karnes’ command. The expedition drove the Comanche out of the area. The forces, which were outfitted at private expense, were discharged about three weeks after they were formed. So far as is known, the mens’ claims were never audited or reimbursed by the Republic.

The Republic of Texas faced lingering problems relating to the its fight for independence and its Indian Wars, including requests for the reimbursement of many people who were all to happy to volunteer for service with no thought of payment, as is the case here. In the introduction to his book on Seguín, de la Teja comments: “As Tejanos rediscover their contributions to Texas history, as they overcome the barriers that separate Texan and Tejano, Juan Seguín has again returned to serve as intermediary between the two... Juan Seguín is not just a hero for Texans of Mexican descent. All Texans now recognize his unique contribution to Texas history.” $2,000 - 3,000

4to (247 x 192 mm). With 2pp. autograph letter in French from Alphonse Portanery to his parents, San Antonio, 5 April 1856; morocco-backed slipcase. (Creased, a few tiny spots or stains.) Provenance: Acquired Dorothy Sloan (26 September 2007, lot 242).

Though there are many known examples of 19th-century lettersheets from California, only a few are known from Texas. With a vignette engraved by Wilhelm Carl August Thielpape, who would be elected the Reconstruction Mayor of San Antonio in 1867. During his tenure, he built bridges, laid macadam streets, and strengthened the public schools. He later moved to Chicago to work as an attorney, participating in the building boom that followed the Great Chicago Fire.

The letter from Portanery indicates that there has been some delay in his response, and he discusses his recent marriage and the problems and opportunities it has caused. He states that his wife says she will never go to France, and discusses the complicated familial relationships and the role his in-laws play in deciding whether he will have property and whether they will help them financially. He reports that he is basically happy, and that he has a newborn who resembles him. He concludes that everyone in Texas lives a solitary life, like wolves. $2,000 - 3,000

252 THIELEPAPE, Wilhelm Carl August (1814-1904), lithographer. Sam Recruiting, after the injunction of secrecy had been removed. San Antonio: Thielepape, July 1855.

Lithograph on heavy paper, 610 x 480 mm. (Fully backed in japan tissue, a few minor losses with repairs occasionally affecting image or text, creased where formerly folded, separations along those creases.) Provenance: Acquired Dorothy Sloan (11 December 2009, Sale 22, lot 227).

THE FIRST LITHOGRAPHED POLITICAL CARTOON CREATED IN TEXAS. The lithograph was printed when Sam Houston’s political career was in shambles. Shortly after the publication of this cartoon, Houston failed in his reelection bid for the U. S. Senate, and in a run for the Texas Governor’s office.

In the cartoon, Houston is seen walking on the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. He carries a “Net for Gudgeons,” the handle of which is strung with a gun and knife (“Sam’s Logic or reasoning powers”), a heart (“Sam’s ‘Great American heard,’ sore”), and a mask (“Mask of Washington,” “Worn when assuming to be the Savior of the Country”). He carries a lantern “used by Gui [Guy] Fawkes in his midnight plots, and bequested to [Houston’s] father.”

The print was one of three lithographs, all created by Thielepape, considered to be among the first lithographs created in Texas. These three documented Thielepape lithographs pulled in Texas also include the letter sheet with a view of Alamo Plaza (see previous lot). When the present copy was sold by Dorothy Sloan, she located only two other copies of the lithograph: one at the Center for American history at the University of Texas, and one at the Dallas Historical Society. She quoted the unpublished research of Ron Tyler: “The first lithographs that can be documented as having been made in Texas appeared in San Antonio... Wilhelm C.A. Thielepape, a trained surveyor and recent immigrant with no printing experience, pulled the first lithograph from a Texas press in 1855. It was a crude map of San Antonio. He printed at least two other images, this caricature of Sam Houston and the other a view of the San Antonio plaza, before finally abandoning the badly worn lithographic equipment and closing his shop.” $2,000 - 3,000 V I E W T H E C O M P L E T E C ATA L O G U E AT H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S .

THE RARE ORIGINAL PRINTING OF THE CONGRESSIONAL JOURNALS FOR 1776 - THE “CARTRIDGE PAPER” EDITION The Bradford family had the contract to print the Journals of Congress through 1775, after which, beginning with these journals, the contract was moved to Robert Aitken. The journals were issued in monthly parts, although whole runs generally disposed with the monthly titles issued in February and March (as here, none were issued in January and April). After April, Aitken was told to cease publication, and his “Waste Book” at the Library Company of Philadelphia records that he had sold only 80 copies of this edition. In the fall of 1776, Aitken was contracted to reprint all of Congress›s earlier journals from 1774 through April 1776 as the first volume of the collected Journals of Congress. Once the work commenced, Aitken disposed of the remaining January to April edition, giving them to the Army to be used as cartridges (hence the “Cartridge Paper” edition).

These Journals of early 1776 cover some of the most critical moments of the Revolution. As only 80 copies survived, the present edition is perhaps the rarest of all of the early Journals of Congress. Evans 15145.

RARE AS A COMPLETE SET IN PARTS OF THE RARE WEEKLY JOURNALS OF CONGRESS In 1779, the Continental Congress faced a difficult year of financial and supply shortfalls, the British burning of Norwalk and Fairfield Connecticut, and the fall of Savannah. As the Continental Congress continued deliberations, delegations voiced objections that the Journals were being published only in annual form (see preceding lot), making it difficult for them, during debate, to refer back to actions previous voted upon. In early 1779, it was decided to issue weekly issues of the Journals. The editions were no doubt very limited, and due to their ephemeral nature, few have survived. Evans locates two complete cpoies (at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the Library Company of Philadelphia). The American Antiquarian Society online catalogue shows the institution holding only 23 of the 41 issues. A full list of all the issues with pagination and Evans citations is available on request.

AN EXTREMELY RARE COLLECTION OF SEVERAL INDIVIDUAL WEEKLY PRINTINGS OF THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS. Congress’s proceedings were printed more or less annually, but shortly after the Declaration of Independence, Congress recognized the necessity of publishing their proceedings in a more timely fashion. During 1779 only, the proceedings were printed in individual monthly and weekly issues, with these more frequent printings being issued in very small numbers. EACH IS THEREFORE EXTREMELY RARE, and known in only a few institutional copies. Early American imprint collector Michael Zinman, who pursued all of the variant printings of the Journals of Congress was only able to obtain 11 of these weekly issues. $2,000 - 3,000

Amér. Sep. Partie du Mexique. No. 60. Showing the Texas coast. THE ONLY PRINTED MAP FROM THE COLONIAL PERIOD DEVOTED SPECIFICALLY TO THE TEXAS COAST. Together, 5 lithographed maps with hand-coloring in outline, on wove paper, each 534 x 715 mm. (A few tiny marginal holes or short tears, reinforced verso along centerfold, some occasional very minor browning or staining, No. 48 with some overall pale spotting.) Provenance: Acquired Dorothy Sloan (11 December 2009, Sale 22, lot 369).

The maps appeared in Vandermaelen’s Atlas Universel de 269A Géographie, and comprise the first large-scale map of Texas printed at the time. According to Streeter: “The five only partly related sheets comprising the Texas region, though on a large scale, are difficult to assemble for a study of Texas as a whole, even when available as separates and not bound in an atlas. The entire Texas coast line, fortunately, happens to be shown on a single sheet (No. 60). It is apparent that for this, Maelen had not consulted either the Carta esférica que comprehende las costas del Seno Mexicano, Madrid, 1799 (entry No. 1029), or its main features as outlined in Humboldt’s Carte Générale…Nouvelle Espagne, Paris, 1809 (entry No. 1042), for he shows it as a jumble of islands dotting the coast from Galveston Bay (here called Baie Trinidad) to the mouth of the Rio Grande. The Canadian River running across the Texas Panhandle is correctly shown as flowing into the Arkansas, and a ‘Little Brazos’ running into the Brazos is shown and named. The San Antonio is still incorrectly represented as flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, instead of joining the Guadalupe many miles above. The few place names are poorly done, some apparently imaginary.” Streeter 1095 (listing all five maps). $1,500 - 2,500 270 [BIBLIOGRAPHY] -- [STREETER, Thomas]. Parke-Bernet Galleries.

“ONE OF THE NEW NATION’S MOST IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE THEORY OF GOVERNMENT” (PMM) FIRST EDITION, collecting the 85 seminal essays written in defense of the newly drafted Constitution and published under the pseudonym “Publius” in various New York newspapers; the complete text of the Constitution, headed “Articles of the New Constitution,” and the resolutions of the Constitutional Convention (signed in type by Washington) appear on pp.368-384 of vol.2.

“Justly recognized as a classic exposition of the principles of republican government” (R.B. Bernstein, Are We to be a Nation? The Making of the Constitution, 1987, p.242). The Federalist essays grew out of the heated pamphlet wars engendered by the question of the ratification of the Constitution. Hamilton enlisted John Jay and James Madison (a Virginia delegate) to collaborate on a series of essays supporting the new plan of government and refuting the objections of its detractors. “Hamilton wrote the first piece in October 1787 on a sloop returning from Albany...He finished many pieces while the printer waited in a hall for the completed copy” (R. Brookhiser, Alexander Hamilton: American, 1999, pp.68-69). Due to Jay’s illness and Madison’s return to Virginia, most of the 85 essays, in the end, were written by Hamilton. “Despite the hurried pace at which they worked-they ground out four articles nearly every week--what began as a propaganda tract, aimed only at winning the election for delegates to New York ratifying convention, evolved into the classic commentary upon the American Federal system” (F. McDonald, Alexander Hamilton: A Biography, p.107). Washington who had served as President of the Constitutional Convention, wrote that The Federalist “will merit the Notice of Posterity; because in it are candidly and ably discussed the principles of freedom and the topics of government, which will always be interesting to mankind.” Church 1230; Evans 21127; Grolier American 19; PMM 234; Sabin 23979.

(Dampstained, many of the folding plates and maps with splits and tears along folds, Warren’s General Map detached through the cartouche, but all parts present.)Spotting throughout, some stains, some tears to folds of maps.) Original publisher’s brown blindstamped cloth (defective with contents becoming loose).

Senate Issue including the RARE WARREN MAP. Considered to be the first accurate representation of the region, the “Map of the Territory of the United States from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean,” commonly known as “Warren’s General Map,” was not present in all volumes of the present work. Warren’s General Map draws on decades of government sponsored explorations and surveys, starting with those of Lewis and Clark. While most of the map was complete by 1854, it was not fully finished by the time the railroad survey report was first published in 1855, explaining its absence in some editions.

Secretary of War Jefferson Davis proposed four routes of exploration to determine a route for a new railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. The present volume reports on the exploration of the fourth route, along the 32nd parallel from Central Texas to El Paso, following William H. Emory’s military reconnaissance of 1846-1847 to the Ghila River, Fort Uma, and San Diego. The House and Senate issues differ only in arrangement of constituent reports. Howes P-3; Wagner-Camp 266c.

314 [BOOK OF HOURS]. A Decorated Prayer Book. (France: Second half of the 17th century or later).

11 x 9 inches (267 x 235 mm). 15 unnumbered leaves (f. 1-12 vellum; f.

13-15 paper; f. 16-17 missing). Single column, about 11 lines per page, in neat hand. Decoration unfinished on ff. 2r, 4v – 9r, 11v- 12v. (Quire 1 [f.

1-6] detached, some discoloring and warping.) Near contemporary leather and paper binding, coat of arms is affixed to upper cover depicting a knight’s helmet above a green painted shield, presenting a rooster resting atop a castle, flanked by two lions and three fleur-di-lies painted in gold-yellow on a red field (Spine perished, overall wear).

A unique manuscript which appears to have been created some time reigns of either Louis XIII [1601-1643] or Louis XIV [1638-1715] of France. The special deference paid to 3 Counter-Reformation saints [The St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen [1577-1622], St. Felix on Cantalice [1515-1587], and St. Joseph of Leonessa [1556-1612]] helps place the prayer book somewhere in the 17th or very early 18th century and calls to mind the religious and political chaos which plagued Europe’s long 17th century. The manuscript’s repeated attempts to link Bourbon supremacy with the legendary rule of St. Louis IX [1214-1270], also reflect this uncertainty. While the book’s decoration shares some similarities with Baroque ornamentation, and the style of its script matches Getty Ms. 11a, another decorated book attributed to Louis XIV, this manuscript is distinctively more rugged. Meaning is its unlikely this book was executed for someone in the immediate orbit of the royal court.

The inscription notes: “Botius’ [sic] Consolations of Philosophy was a favorite book with King James I when a prisoner in England and confined at Windsor Castle. It was a popular work among the writers of that day, and which had been translated by Chaucer. Indeed it would be difficult to find, out of the sacred writings, a more admirable text book for meditation under misfortune. It is the legacy of a noble and enduring spirit, fortified by sorrow and suffering, bequeathing to all its successors in calamity, the stores of eloquent but simple reasoning, by which it was enabled to bear up against the various ills of life, it is a talisman which the unfortunate may treasure in his bosom, or like the good King James, lay it nightly on his pillow.

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION OF THE FIRST CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOK, ENGRAVINGS BY THE FIRST WOOD-ENGRAVER IN THE UNITED STATES. “The World Around Us in Pictures was the first European schoolbook based on the principle of what is now called visual education. Each page consists of a woodcut of some subject or object and, underneath, a bilingual Latin-German text in two columns, which in simple terms explains the picture, with numerical references to the items shown… it is the combination of text and picture which has made Orbis Pictus a milestone in the history of education” (PMM). Comenius was an important figure in the field of education. He wrote many books on education, many were translated into a variety of languages, such as the present work, which was translated from the original Latin and High Dutch by Charles Hoole in 1659 from the twelfth London edition with corrections and enlarged. “His universal importance rests on the pedagogic theories and writings of educations from the ages of four to twenty-four (Didactica, written 1632, published 1657)” (PMM).

Anderson was a self-taught wood-engraver and produced the first wood-engravings in the United States.

Engraved portrait frontispiece, engraved printer’s devices on title-pages, 71 (of 80?) engraved plates after Eisen, 4 large engraved vignettes most after Choffard, 60 culs-de-lampe, a few engraved head-and-tail pieces. (Dampstained in lower margin, some soiling or browning, a few tiny holes touching text.) Later calf gilt (rebacked preserving old red morocco backstrip gilt, rubbed, hinges starting). Provenance: unidentified stamps and annotations from a previous owner.

Presumed pirated edition after ‘Fermiers-généraux’ edition of 1762. Printed only 2 years after the decadent limited edition, this edition is profusely illustrated by engravings largely after Charles Eisen. Eisen was best known for his book illustrations and vignettes, and “the most remarkable of these are the designs for the ‘Fermiers-généraux’ edition of the ‘Contes’ of La Fontaine’” though he also served as the painter and draftsman to the Kind and the drawing-master to Madame de Pompadour (Bryan, Dictionary of Painters and Engravers, p.

459). Stories and Tales in Verse was originally published by Fontaine from 1668 to 1694. He transformed fables from a variety of sources into French free verse.

While the present edition was produced for an adult audience, Fontaine’s fables were quickly adapted to the educational curricula for children. See Cohen-de-Ricci 571.

After several years of living in New York, Twain was well-known for entertaining his male friends at stag luncheons. In 1908, his friend, writer Kate Douglas Wiggin, chastised him for only hosting his male friends. She “argued that ‘brilliance is not limited to the stags--give a doe-luncheon & you will see.’ ‘And she was right,’ Clemens conceded. The first ‘doe-luncheon’ on 14 January 1908 was a great success. ‘I was the only lady of my sex present,’ Clemens reported modestly” (see “Mark Twain at Play,” The Bancroft Library, 2010). Twain organized a second doe-lunch for 11 February 1908, and in addition to Riggs, other attendees included a young Ethel Barrymore, and Frances Hodgson Burnett. $500 - 700

368 DICKENS, Charles (1812-1870). Autograph letter signed (“CD”), to [Thomas] Mitton (“My Dear Mitton”).

Devonshire Terrace, 18 April 1844.

1 1/4 pages, 8vo, on a bifolium. Folds, minor mounting remnants along hinge fold on verso.

Discussing financial matters in advance of his pivotal travels to Italy and Europe: “I am sorry to say that plan won’t do. Because, although Coutts’s were so prompt and polite last time, still they did say ‘that it wasn’t the kind of note’ &c &c - as I wrote you at the time. Indeed, I remember to have often heard that they avoid discounting: not having that kind of insurers[?].

I wish to Heaven you could think of any other way. I will come down today, between 2 and 3.

I have not seen [Thomas James] Thomson yet. He wrote that he was coming. Likewise that his house had not bedrooms enough for all[?] - and talking wildly about Houses near Belgrave Square!! Faithfully Always / CD.” A fine letter to his close friend and solicitor, Thomas Mitton. Dickens wrote Mitton the previous day: “I am very much and pressingly in want of a hundred pounds until June. Though the time is short, my father’s debts, two quarters income tax &c, coming all at once, drive me, sailing so near the wind by not drawing any profits from C[hapman] and H[all], into a most [un]comfortable corner. Ca[n you oblige] me with this, or devise any [means of doing so?…” (Letters, 17 April 1844, pp. 107-08).

This letter might conversely relate to Mitton’s purchase of a share in the legal firm of Smithson and Dunn [later Smithson, Dunn and Mitton]. Money for the purchase was borrowed from his family, while Dickens stood as security for the debt.

FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE OF THE FIRST ENGLISH NOVEL TO FEATURE A YOUNG CHILD AS A PROTAGONIST, with “Boz” on the title-page and the “Fireside” plate. When Bentley decided to publish Olive or Twist in book format before completing its completion in Bentley›s Miscellany magazine, Cruikshank had to rush to complete the illustrated plates. Dickens didn›t review the plates until the eve of publication, and he objected to the “Fireside” plate (present here) which depicted Oliver at Rose Maylie’s knee with Harry and Mrs. Maylie gathered around the living room fire. Cruikshank revised the illustration, using the same title (“Rose Maylie and Oliver”), to show Rose and Oliver standing before Oliver’s mother’s church memorial.

The altered plate was used in later issues of Oliver Twist in book form, as well as in the conclusion of the periodical run. Eckel, p.59-60; Gimbel A27; Smith I:4.

RARE SUPPRESSED FIRST EDITION, ONE OF 50 COPIES BOUND AT DODGSON’S REQUEST. Dodgson was not satisfied with the first issue, initially intended to be printed in an edition of 500 copies, so the issue was suppressed. In a letter to the publishers of 5 December 1886, Dodgson complains that Baxter used “old type, which obliged him to damp the paper so much that the letters print a little too thick ... and the crooked printing showed me that, to get the best results, it does not do to trust the local printers” (Lewis Carroll and the House of Macmillan, pp. 216-217). “A mystery edition which is rarer than would be expected” (Williams-Madan-Green-Crutch 193).

Selections from the Collection of Jesse “Cary” Caraway (1917-1994) Lots 398-417

The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture was established as the Taliesin Fellowship in 1932. The Fellowship emphasized a curriculum based on apprenticeship and hands-on learning, and early apprentices, immersed in Wright’s organic approach, worked together with Wright on projects like the Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater. Jesse “Cary” Caraway joined the Taliesin Fellowship program on 8 June 1935 and worked there until 1942.

At Taliesin, he met and married Frances Fritz, who worked for several years as Wright’s typist. Frances’s father, Herbert Fritz Sr., was one Wright’s early draftsmen, one of two who survived the fire at Taliesin in 1914. Fritz met his wife, Mary Larson, the daughter of Wright’s stonemason Alfred Larson, at Taliesin. Frances Fritz’s two siblings also had strong connections to Taliesin: Herbert Fritz, Jr. was a member of the Taliesin Fellowship, and Barbara Fritz married James Dresser, also a member of the Taliesin Fellowship. The family recalls delightful dinners and conversations when the families were together.

On leaving the Taliesin Fellowship program, Caraway worked as an architect in his own right. These selections from his archive offer an intimate view of life at Taliesin as a Fellow and the work of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

Lloyd writes regarding the tax-exempt status of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation: “Although we are recognized as tax-free by Federal and State authority as a non-profit establishment devoted to the culture of the young man in Architecture we are having a hard time convincing our County Board that we should be exempted from taxes on our land and equipment, not classified with citizenry engaged in money making enterprizes of a private nature.” He asks Caraway for assistance: “Should you kindly write us a note (or send a wire) expressing frankly your feeling about our work as a factor in your educational experience you might help us...’Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.’” Wright closes the letter “Affectionately.”

Wright writes regarding the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation: “We were getting a little apprehensive - feeling our thanks to our many friends for their contributions would seem tardy...The bill in the assembly is a bit disappointing -- because I thought some actual consensus was to be legally made specific to our Foundation as a reward for service already rendered, etc. I want to meet with the special committee and the Governor. [Hust?] met him downstairs is arranging this for me. meantime - thanks for all you’ve done the best to yours. Affectionately.”

In 1954, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Wright owed $10,000 in back taxes on Taliesin, despite his argument that Taliesin was primarily a school and should therefore be tax exempt. Caraway suggested that Wright’s friends should express their appreciation and take up a collection.

Fowler McCormick, the son of Harold McCormick and Edith Rockefeller, was the third generation of his family to head the International Harvester Company. William Benton was an American Senator from Connecticut, and was publisher of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Harold Charles Price founded the H. C. Price Company, which specialized in pipeline construction and non-corrosive pipe coatings. Wright designed the firm’s headquarters, The Price Tower, which was built in Bartlesville, Oklahoma in 1956.

I guess that the main part of your problem is in materials, structural and mechanical technique.”

FIRST EDITION OF HEMINGWAY’S FIRST NOVEL. Hemingway’s earlier works established his reputation in literary circles, but by 1925, he had not gained broader public recognition, which he attributed to his restrictive contract with Boni and Liveright, who published his earlier works. He wrote Torrents of Spring in a few weeks in November of 1925, and Boni and Liveright rejected it quickly. “I have known all along,” Hemingway wrote Fitzgerald, that the firm “could not and would not be able to publish it as it makes a bum out of their present ace and best seller Anderson” (Selected Letters, p. 183). The contract broken, Hemingway signed with Scribners, and The Torrents of Spring was published on 28 May 1926. Hanneman A4a.

1 page, 4to, tipped into an autograph album.

Schiele arranges a meeting with his student, whose work he describes as promising, frequently mentioning his address in Vienna, Hietzinger Hauptstrasse 101, and Hietzing, Vienna’s 13th district, with which Schiele is closely associated.

Following his military service in World War I, Schiele was back in Vienna in 1917, where he focused on his artistic career. His output was prolific, and he was invited to participate in the Secessions’s 49th exhibition, held in Vienna in 1918.

Truman, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Her work was featured in exhibitions in the 1940s and 1950s at the Smithsonian Institution and the New York Historical Society among others.

Heartman and Canny maintain that the 29 January 1845 appearance in The Evening Mirror is not the first printing, since The American Review announced that “No. II will bear date Feb. 1845, but will be issue early in January.” Unless the publishers were unable to issued the work as promised, the appearance in The American Review predates the later January appearance in The Evening Mirror.

461 [TRAVEL & EXPLORATION]. -- BRUCE, James (1730-1794). -- Travels To Discover The Source of the Nile, In the Years 1768… 1773. Vol. I-IV. -- Select Specimens of Natural History, Collected in Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile, in Egypt, Arabia, Abyssinia, and Nubia. Vol. V. -- Edinburgh: G.G.J. and J. Robinson, 1790.

5 volumes, 4to (294 x 229 mm). 55 engraved plates, 3 engraved folding plans, 3 engraved folding maps, half-titles, title-pages with engravings, engraved dedication vol. I. (Some spotting or minor offsetting, a few marginal tears, a few blank leaves stuck together.) Contemporary tree calf, smooth spines gilt, red morocco letteringpieces gilt (hinges starting, some with old repairs, overall wear).

FIRST EDITION. Bruce of Kinnaird had studied Arabic and Ethiopic and was British Consul at Algiers. Believing the source of the Nile to be somewhere in Abyssinia, Bruce travelled from the Red Sea coast (near present day Eritrea) and reached Gondar where he spent three years at the royal court. By 1770 he had jointed an expeditionary force which brought him within reach of his goal -- to the spring south of Lake Tana form which the Blue Nile rises -- and was forever convinced this was the source of the main Nile. He remained in the Sudan and Egypt until returning to Scotland in 1773, but disillusioned by the reception he received there, did not publish his journals until 1790. It is however “one of the most splendid narratives in the literature of African explorations” (Hallett, Africa to 1815). Blackmer 221; Hilmy I:91; Nissen ZBI 617.

Narrative of Travels and Discoveries in Northern and Central Africa, in the Years 1822, 1823, and 1824… Extending Across the Great Desert to the Tenth Degree of Northern Latitude, and From Kouka in Bornou, to Sackatoo, the Capital of the Fellatah Empire. London: John Murray, 1826.

2 volumes in one, 4to (268 x 211 mm). Engraved frontispiece, 32 engraved plates (one hand-colored), 11 in-text woodcut illustrations (2 plans), 6 engraved maps (5 full-page, one folding). (Some occasional spotting or offsetting.) Modern half calf over green cloth gilt, smooth spine gilt, 3 black morocco lettering-pieces gilt, edges faintly marbled, marbled endsheets (chipping to lettering-piece, some small scuffs). Provenance: W. Conway (signature).

FIRST EDITION of important explorations in Africa. The first volume is an official expedition to discover the course of the Niger from the starting point of Tripoli, rather than West Africa. Clapperton and Oudney were the original members of the party, to which Denham was added, but whose “arrogance, malice, and contempt for his colleagues from the start soured relations between them” (DNB). This famous “Bornu Mission” provided the earliest European report on the Central Sudan and Northern Nigeria. From the Mediterranean they reached Murzuk and Bornu on the west of Lake Chad, and eventually Sokota. Failing to ascertain the source and termination of the Niger, Denham explored Lake Chad, and Oudney and Clapperton journeyed westward to the Niger. Clapperton continued alone after Oudney’s death at Murmur, reaching Sokota and rejoining Denham at Kuka. On the second expedition Clapperton had been promoted to Commander and was sent back to Sokota to open up trade with the west coast. He died in 1827, having crossed Yoruba Country and the Niger. He was survived by his “servant” Richard Lander who carried on alone. Lander brought Clapperton’s journals back to England and wrote the “Life of Clapperton” which appears in this second work.

London: For Andrew Bell and Bernard Lintot, 1718.

8vo (195 x 107 mm). 5 copper engraved maps. (6 1/2-in tear to world map repaired verso). Contemporary calf (old rebacking to style, upper joint starting, some overall wear).

Second edition, preceded by the first edition of 1712. Rogers’ privately funded voyage was more financially successful than any since Drake and Cavendish; Rogers maintained good order despite a “mongrel crew and with officers often mutinous.” Privateer William Dampier was pilot and navigator (see lot 53). After they rounded Cape Horn, they sheltered at Juan Fernandez; there, they rescued Alexander Selkirk, whose story (as told by Rogers) was an inspiration for Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe. Their attack on Spanish ships on the west coast of Mexico and South America resulted in the taking of an Acapulco galleon (among others), whose bounty included important information in the form of maps. Included here are 5, taken by Rogers from “The best Spanish manuscript draughts.” Hill 1479; Sabin 72754; Wagner-Camp 78a.

Selections from the Studio and Personal Archive of Barry Moser Lots 571-687

Introduction

arry Moser was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1940. He was educated early on at a military academy there, The Baylor School, then at Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama, and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He did graduate work at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1970. He studied with George Cress, Leonard Baskin, Fred Becker, and Jack Coughlin. Following his first encounters with Baskin and master pressman Harold P. McGrath, Moser found his calling and soon embarked on a career that has lasted over fifty years, in which he immersed himself in every aspect of fine press book production, from design to illustration and printing.

While teaching at Williston Academy in Easthampton, Massachusetts in 1969, Moser founded the Castalia Press, the predecessor of what would be renamed the Pennyroyal Press, which is now widely recognized for its finely printed and illustrated editions of some of the greatest works of literature—noted for their artful combination of Moser’s striking imagery and letterpress text. Moser’s Pennyroyal Press edition of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1982) won the American Book Award for Design and Illustration in 1983. Its success was followed up with four major large-scale editions of literary classics from the Press: Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass (1982), Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1984), Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1985), and L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1985). Beyond the Pennyroyal Press, Moser has illustrated and/or designed over 300 titles, including the Arion Press Moby-Dick (1977) and the University of California Press The Divine Comedy of Dante (1980-84). In 1999 Moser produced the Pennyroyal Caxton edition of the King James Bible, a masterpiece of book illustration and production, incorporating Moser’s stunning woodcuts to create what ranks among the greatest achievements of the twentieth century book making.

In addition to being an illustrator, Moser is also a printer, painter, printmaker, designer, author, essayist, and teacher. He has been on the faculty of the Department of Illustration Studies at the Rhode Island School of Design, for many years he was on the faculty of the Williston Northampton School. Moser is currently the Irwin and Pauline Alper Glass Professor of Art at Smith College, as well as the Printer to Smith College.

The present Selections from the Studio and Personal Archive of Barry Moser, includes many of his own retained copies, trial proofs, deluxe suites of prints, rare early works and broadsides from the nascent Pennyroyal Press, engraved blocks, drawings and watercolors spanning his productive career. The catalogue also includes a section of books from Moser’s library, including books from other presses, first editions, and presentation copies.

This collection comprises the most comprehensive group of Moser material ever offered at auction, and represents the full range of Moser’s creative process—from his own annotated source material, preliminary drawings, through trial designs and proof impressions to the final productions of many of his most celebrated works. It also reflects his close relationships with the numerous poets, authors, scholars and colleagues with whom he collaborated with on many of his book projects over his prolific career.

Note: For reference citations in this catalogue we refer to the Pennyroyal Checklist of books, posters and broadsides from the Pennyroyal Press, 1969-1986, compiled by J. P. Dwyer and printed by the Pennyroyal Press, 1986. For the clarity of citation in this catalogue the distinction [B] has been added before the citation number to distinguish the ‘Broadsides & Posters’ section of the checklist, and [M] to the ‘Miscellany’ section in the checklist.

Pennyroyal Caxton Bible

620 [MOSER, Barry, illustrator]. The Holy Bible. Containing All the Books of the Old and New Testaments. North Hatfield, MA and New York City: Pennyroyal Caxton Press, 1999.

2 volumes. Folio. Illustrated with over 235 relief engravings by Barry Moser. (Front flyleaf creased in Vol. I.) Vol. I partially bound, sewn onto original vellum strips with linen and spine backing paper present; Vol. II in full vellum over boards with title stamped in gilt on front board and spine (slight discoloration to vellum on front cover); each volume housed in original cloth folding case (both with spine labels for Vol. II).

LIMITED EDITION, one of 400 copies on Zerkall Bible paper, out of a total edition of 430 copies, this copy out-of-series and signed by Moser at end of Vol II. The text for the Pennyroyal Caxton Bible follows the classic King James, or “Authorized” version, first published in 1611. The type is Galliard-Moser, designed by Matthew Carter and modified specifically for this project, and the type pages are composed and printed by Bradley Hutchinson of Digital Letterpress in Austin, Texas, after Moser’s designs and specifications. Mr. Hutchinson has rendered the computer-generated type into polymer printing plates and printed them letterpress, combining tradition with modern technology. The paper is Zerkall Bible, manufactured especially for this project and bearing the unique watermark of the Pennyroyal Caxton Press. The bindings are executed by the combined studios of Claudia Cohen and Sarah Creighton, of Easthampton, Massachusetts. Moser brought the experience of thirty years of engraving to bear on his illustrations for the King James Bible, the first edition in this century in which both the Old and the New Testaments are illustrated by a single artist. Working with a new medium known as resingrave, Moser has cut over 235 stunning illustrations which rank among his finest, and overseen the integration of these engravings into a seamless whole, what he has termed the “struggle to engage not only a sacred text but the greatest monument of our language; to grapple with typography and images befitting such sanctity and monumentality; and to wrestle with the devils and angels that reside therein.” This book undoubtedly ranks among the greatest achievements of twentieth century fine bookmaking. With the original prospectus laid in.

[With:] 3 original preliminary pencil drawings by Moser for illustrations in The Holy Bible. Each 403 x 284 mm, each titled and signed by Moser. The subjects comprise: “Sanballat” (Nehemiah 2:10), “The Child” (Galatians 4:1), and “The Annunciation” (Luke 1:28).

[And:] A trial binding dummy for the Pennyroyal Caxton Bible, folio, linen-backed boards, inscribed by Moser in pencil on the front free endpaper: “This binding dummy is from the workshops of Sarah Creighton & Claudia Cohen is a prototype for the binding of the Pennyroyal Press edition of the King James Bible.

The cover papers were made by Tim Barrett at his paper mill at the Center for the Book at the University of Iowa. Barrett and I collected walnut husks around the mill building to dye the sheets. Unfortunately, the paper bruised and burnished, & the idea for a very humble biding was abandoned. / Barry Moser / 8.26.21.”

It took a year for the first book to come off the press”—Pennyroyal Checklist 1. The text on verso announces The Red Flag as the first limited edition from the Castalia Press, which preceded his Pennyroyal Press. This announcement does not appear in the Pennyroyal Checklist.

Guide for Prospective Sellers Evaluation of Property If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department at 312.280.1212 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Hindman LLC and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary.

Standard Commission Rates Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for less than $5,001, with a minimum commission of $75 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Hindman LLC, you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price.

Shipping Arrangements Hindman LLC can advise you as to how to have your property delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Hindman LLC and deducted from the proceeds of the sale. We may recommend packers and shippers, but we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

Appraisals Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances.

Please contact our Estates and Appraisals Department at 312.334.4232 for further information.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The standard bidding increments are: $0 - $500 ........................................ $25 $500 - $1,000 ..................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ................................... $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ................................... $250 $5,000 - $10,000 ................................. $500 $10,000 - $20,000 .............................. $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 .............................. $2,500 $50,000 - $100,000 ............................ $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 .......................... $10,000 Above > $200,000 .... At Auctioneer’s Discretion

In-House Bidding Our auctions are free and open to the public with no obligation for attendees to bid. Registration requires your full contact information, photo identification, credit card information, your signature and agreement to the Conditions of Sale.. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer.

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

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

Telephone Bidding You may register telephone bid requests either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Upon registering for a telephone bid, you will be called on the day of the auction by a Hindman representative approximately five lots before your item is scheduled to be sold. They will communicate to you the bidding activity and will relay your bids to the auctioneer at your discretion. Please note we can only accept telephone bids for lots with a low estimate of $300 or above unless otherwise noted online. Telephone bids may be requested up to 2 hours prior to the auction start time.

Tax Exempt Notice Lots marked with an asterisk (*) are tax exempt as permitted by law.

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.

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. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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 in the back of our catalogues, 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.

6. 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 $100 authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 48 hours.

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. 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-only Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website or through third-party bidding sites 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 approximately fifty percent (50%) of the lot’s low estimate; where necessary, will lower the asking bid until a bid is received; 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.

D. AFTER THE AUCTION

1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots, we charge twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $400,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $400,001 up to and including $4,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $4,000,001. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium.

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

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

242 F I N E & I M P O R TA N T J E W E L R Y

(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. (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.

V I E W T H E C O M P L E T E C ATA L O G U E AT H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S . C O M 243

(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.

accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules.

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 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.
