79* [Henrietta, Maria, Queen Consort of Charles I, 1609-69]. Embroidered apron panel, English, early-mid 17th century, a large portion of early embroidery on cream silk, silk ground toned, sometime neatly stitched at edge to a linen backing and with a number of carefully stitched repairs, elaborately worked design with various floral, foliate, and lattice motifs, incorporating entwining stems and tendrils, in coloured silks (a little faded), metal threads, and sequins, using satin stitch, long and short stitch, couching, and bullion stitch, creases along top edge where previously gathered at waist, 53.5 x 101cm (21 x 39.75ins), framed, with manuscript label on verso in an early 20th century hand The label on the verso reads “Apron from Rushbrooke Park thought to have belonged to Queen Henrietta Maria who went there after Charles’ death. Two Laburnham wood cabinets & several other things bearing Charles’ [...?] initials were also left at Rushbrooke, the old House of Mabel Davies Cooke’s mother (Fanny Louisa Eyres) who was born there, her mother being Louisa Elizabeth Rushbrooke. The Cabinets are now in State Apartments at Windsor.’ Highly decorated aprons like this one were not intended to be protective garments; rather they were an opportunity to add an element of sumptuous embellishment which could both demonstrate the fine sewing skills of the wearer and indicate her wealth and position in society. The Jermyns of Rushbrooke Hall, near Bury St. Edmunds, were a prominent Royalist family. Sir Thomas Jermyn (1573-1645) was Comptroller of the Household between 1639 and 1641, and his son Henry Lord Jermyn, Earl of St. Albans (1605-1684) was a life-long friend of Queen Henrietta Maria, fulfilling variously the roles of Vice-Chamberlain, Master of the Horse and Lord Chamberlain. He was at her side throughout the various campaigns of the Civil War, and it was even rumoured that the pair were married in secret, with a contemporary report asserting that all the Queen’s children were Jermyn’s bastards. It is believed that the aforementioned cabinets were presented by Henrietta Maria to Lord Jermyn in 1665. On his death his will directed that the cabinets be taken to Rushbrooke Hall, the then residence of his nephew Sir Thomas Jermyn, where they were noted in an inventory of 1759. They were sold at Christie’s in 1910 to Lord Rothschild and his brothers, who presented them to King George V and Queen Mary shortly after their Coronation, and today they reside in The Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace.

Staveley. Carvers, Gilders & Frame Makers, Stonegate, York’ A copy of the 1782 stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi after the allegorical painting by Angelica Kauffman. The print was published in black and white and so the embroiderer was able to choose between various colours and stitches, and thereby demonstrate both her taste and skill. Pictures such as these were sometimes part of a decorative scheme incorporating walls, furniture or porcelain, and often including other designs by Kauffman. The artist’s designs had more widespread and diverse uses than those of any other decorative painter of the period. (1) £150-200

The firm of Foxton’s, established in 1903, produced highquality printed silks, cottons and linens. The firm printed with blocks to begin with before transferring to roller-printing in the 1920s, but continued to use traditional methods to produce an exceptional product. Founder William Foxton was an early member of the Design and Industries Association (DIA), which brought together designers, architects, craftsmen, educators, manufacturers and retailers, with the aim of raising standards of design. It was shortly after the founding of the DIA in 1915 that Foxton began to commission patterns from free-thinking freelance designers such as Minnie McLeish. (13) £200-300

Upmarket London fashion boutique Hung On You (1965-1969) was owned by the designer Michael Rainey, and was famous for its avant-garde approach to clothes. Its standard lines consisted of psychedelic shirts, kipper ties, military uniforms, shimmering sharkskin suits, frilly shirts, jackets with velvet cuffs, and other such flamboyant garments. Its avantgarde approach to clothes, and the clients it attracted, such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and Terence Stamp, meant that it became part of the culture of the swinging sixties, and the shop is considered now as occupying an important place in fashion history: ‘Its customers were the real departure from the routine, for they were almost exclusively the new male dandies invented by the 1960s, a taboo-breaking mixture of social and rock aristocracy as never encountered before.’ (Richard Lester, Boutique London: Kings Road to Carnaby Street, 2010) (1) £70-100

THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE ROBERT HARDY CBE FSA FHA Timothy Sidney Robert Hardy CBE FSA (1925-2017) was one of Britain’s most enduringly successful actors, with a career in theatre, film and television spanning seven decades. His acting career was firmly rooted in Shakespearian and other classical theatre roles, working early in his career with the likes of Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Dorothy Tutin and Judi Dench. However, he will probably be best remembered as the explosive and overbearing Siegfried Farnon in the long-running television series ‘All Creatures Great and Small’, and his most critically acclaimed performance as the title role in ‘Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years’ in 1981, for which he won a BAFTA. His portrayal of Britain's wartime leader was so accurately observed that he went on to play the great man on eight subsequent occasions. More recently he demonstrated his versatility by earning praise as the blinkered Ministry of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, in the Harry Potter films. Robert Hardy was also a highly-regarded medieval military historian and expert on the longbow, an interest first developed when playing the part of Henry V. He published two important works on the subject: ‘Longbow: A Social and Military’ and ‘The Great Warbow’. He was one of the experts consulted during the raising of the Mary Rose, and was Master of the Worshipful Company of Bowyers of the City of London from 1988 to 1990. In 2015 Robert Hardy moved house and downsized his belongings quite considerably. He chose to entrust their sale to Dominic Winter Auctioneers, and a very successful sale was held which included books, furniture, paintings and theatre memorabilia. The actor was a true gentleman of the old school, and it was a pleasure to deal with him during the process of putting together the sale. And so it is with sadness that we now offer a second sale of items which belonged to Robert Hardy, a sale that has come about as a result of his death in August last year. We are honoured to be entrusted a second time and hope that our catalogue would have met with Robert Hardy’s approval.

Set in 1913 it demonstrated the life contrast between English aristocrats, gathered for pheasant shooting and the local rural poor, who served as ‘beaters’. A terrible accident occured at the commencement of filming, where all the male lead actors, including Paul Scofield, Robert Hardy, Edward Fox & Rupert Frazer were thrown from a horsedrawn shooting-brake which had lost control and overturned. Rupert Frazer jumped off without great harm. The other actors were catapulted into a pile of scaffolding. Robert Hardy stood up and realised to his amazement that he was unhurt. He looked across to see Edward Fox stand up, “turn completely green and collapse in a heap”. He had broken five ribs and his shoulder-blade. He then noticed that Paul Scofield was lying very still on the ground, “and I saw that his shin-bone was sticking out through his trousers”. As the film took place in October due to the partridge-shooting season, the filmmakers had to make a choice to either delay filming for a year, or re-cast. James Mason was therefore subsituted to play Paul Scofield’s part to enable filming to continue. (9) £70-100

EVELYN DE MORGAN: DRAWINGS FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION
459* De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Sketchbook of figure studies, numerous drawings on 24 card leaves, mostly on rectos and versos, all pencil (except for one watercolour), a number heightened with brown wash (mainly drapery), some pages with several small sketches, others with one large carefully worked drawing, including 13 female and two male head studies, 18 small drapery studies, nine small and larger nude studies, 32 drawing of hands and feet in various sizes and degrees of finish, occasional light dust-soiling and marks, leaf size 35.5 x 24.5cm (14 x 9.75ins), stitching almost entirely broken (leaves just holding on a thread), original half Japanese vellum, rubbed and marked, upper cover with 3� split in upper edge, folio Such a large number of drawings by Evelyn De Morgan contained in one album give a wonderful demonstration of the breadth of her preliminary work, and her preoccupation with accurate delineation of the human form. She drew prolifically throughout her life, always endeavouring to achieve the perfect stance of a body, a beautiful fall of drapery, a poetically expressive hand gesture, or a realistic arrangement of feet. Her exploratory drawings are beautiful in their own right, and this album contains some particularly exquisite female head studies. (1) £3000-5000

460* De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Male nude playing a pipe, charcoal on paper, full-length seated male nude wearing a loin cloth, with face in profile turned to left, playing a pipe, dusty, damp-stain to upper right blank corner, very small hole above left shoulder, verso with another sketch of a full-length seated male nude, edge-frayed and with pin-holes at corners, sheet size 62 x 46cm (24.5 x 18ins), together with two other similar-sized charcoal drawings on paper of the same model, both full-length, one showing him playing a pipe in a different attitude, the other showing him reclining, both with some dust and water-soiling, and frayed at edges, lower right corner of latter with name of ‘Emilie I. Barrington’ and ‘E. Barrington’ in charcoal and pencil in the artist’s hand, plus two others similar of different male models These highly accomplished drawings were executed whilst Evelyn De Morgan was a student at the Slade School of Art. Evelyn enrolled at the Slade in 1873 - one of the first three women to enrol - after spending a short time at the South Kensington National Art Training School. Study of the living model was considered of paramount importance to the education of each student at the Slade, and Evelyn’s life drawings from this period demonstrate a level of skill and understanding of the human anatomy surprising for one so young. Her skilful draughtsmanship was acknowledged by numerous awards which she received during her time at the Slade, including equal first prize for drawing from life in 1875. The De Morgan Foundation holds a number of similar life drawings by Evelyn. Interestingly they are in similar condition to those offered here, so it seems safe to assume that the drawings were neglected relatively early on in their existence and perhaps whilst still in the possession of the artist (who may have placed little importance on the work of her student days). A forceful and highly-strung woman, Emilie Barrington was an art critic and novelist chiefly remembered for her biographies of G.F. Watts and Frederic Leighton. She was an amateur artist herself, taking drawing lessons from Arthur Hughes, and she quite determinedly assimilated herself into the artistic and literary circles of the day. It is curious that Mrs. Barrington’s name appears on one of the studies offered here; there appears to be little known about her relationship with the De Morgans, although we do know that Evelyn, accompanied by the writer Violet Paget, went to lunch at Emilie Barrington’s in 1883, after which they visited the studios of Watts and Leighton.

461* De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). A collection of sketches and studies, including seven studies of rock formations, six watercolour and the other black and white chalk, three on thick wove paper, one laid down on an album leaf, and six watercolour landscapes (some continental views), on paper or card, occasional dust-soiling and marks, some edge-fraying, one or two laid down on album leaves, sheet size 39 x 56cm (15.25 x 22ins) and smaller Although prolific in her preliminary studies of figures, drapery and composition, Evelyn De Morgan’s exploration of interior or landscape is less well-documented. The sketches in this collection give the impression of being a response to something seen rather than being studies for a specific end. However, the drawings of geological formations are particularly interesting given the artist’s preoccupation with the depiction of rock forms in many of her paintings (see for example ‘The Undiscovered Country’, ‘Sleep and Death, The Children of Night’, ‘Love the Misleader’, and ‘Lux in Tenebris’).

Female nude study for Boreas and Oreithyia, pencil on card, full length female nude, dustsoiled, some ink marks to left-hand edge, and toned vertically to right (affecting forearm), sheet size 36 x 25.5cm (14 x 10ins), together with Compositional sketch for Boreas and Oreithyia, charcoal and pencil on card, showing a winged male figure with a female nude and drapery, lightly dust-soiled, sheet size 40.5 x 31cm (16 x 12ins), plus a further compositional study of figures, pencil on card, showing three females nudes, one bowed over on the ground and the other two rising up amongst swirls of vapour, sheet size 24 x 14.5cm (9.5 x5.75ins)
463* De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Female nude, pencil on paper, full-length female nude seen from behind, with outstretched right arm, ink blot on sole of right foot, single pin hole to each corner and two pin holes in centre of top margin, slightly dusty to top and bottom edge, right-hand edge unevenly trimmed, sheet size 39.5 x 23.5cm (15.5 x 9.25ins), together with another female nude similar, pencil on card, slightly dusty, pin holes to corners (one corner tip missing), sheet size 35.5 x 25cm (14 x 10ins)
‘Boreas and Oreithyia’ was completed in 1896 and exhibited at the Society of Oil Painters 1899-1900, the Walker Art Gallery in 1900, and at Wolverhampton in 1907, before being purchased by the artist’s sister Mrs. Stirling. It was left in trust, with the rest of Mrs. Stirling’s collection, to the De Morgan Foundation, which she had personally established (‘Evelyn De Morgan, oil paintings’, DMF, 1996, plate 33). A large scale oil, the work depicts Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind, carrying off Oreithyia (daughter of Erechtheus) from the banks of the Ilissus. Oritheyia was modelled by Evelyn’s maid, Jane Hales, and for Boreas she used a professional artists’ model, who also modelled for Edward Burne-Jones’s ‘The Beguiling of Merlin’. The De Morgan Foundation has eight further drawings, both figure and compositional studies, which were executed in preparation for the full-scale work. Our female nude, interestingly, shows the body at a less acute angle than in the finished oil, or indeed than in the accompanying compositional sketch. Together with the De Morgan Foundation studies, the drawings offered here help to build up a picture of the artist’s detailed and thorough working processes. (3) £700-1000
Reminiscent of one of the figures in ‘The Kingdom of Heaven Suffereth Violence and the Violent Take It by Force’, although differences in the angle of the body, and particularly in the position of the legs, make it difficult to positively identify the studies (‘Evelyn De Morgan, oil paintings’, DMF, plate 42).

The original painting, now described as Workshop of Botticelli, is in the National Gallery, London. (1) £1500-2000

466* De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Tonal study of Michaelangelo’s Dying Slave, charcoal on paper, depicting a male nude sculpture (with strategically placed fig leaf), sheet lengthened slightly (by artist) with additional piece joined to top edge, some minor dust-soiling and small stains, mainly to frayed top and bottom edges, large pencil annotation ‘1st’ to left margin, signed ‘E Pickering’ lower right, sheet size 66 x 34cm (26 x 13.5ins), together with Tonal study of one of Michaelangelo’s Sistine Chapel Ignudi, charcoal on paper, depicting a seated male nude in profile, some soiling, pin holes at corners, right-hand edge unevenly trimmed and frayed, two 2” tears in top edge, sheet size 61 x 41cm (24 x 16ins), plus Study of Michaelagelo’s Adam from the Sistine Ceiling, pencil on paper, heightened with charcoal, laid down on two thicknesses of paper, showing Michaelangelo’s reclining male nude with outstretched arm, sheet size 38 x 47.5cm (15 x 18.75ins) These astonishingly confident drawings were executed by Evelyn De Morgan when she was still a young student at the Slade School of Art. She would almost certainly have drawn the ‘Dying Slave’ from Monsieur Toquiere’s plaster cast in the V&A, which was made from Michaelangelo’s original in 1863. Evelyn was one of the first three women students at the Slade when she enrolled in 1873 aged just 17. Whilst life study was considered of paramount importance, study from the antique as well as from Old Masters was also considered a vital part of the students’ education. The De Morgan Foundation holds several such studies of classical sculpture by Evelyn. These drawings display her technical virtuosity, showing her skilful use of texture and shading to create light, shadow and three-dimensional form. Her assured draughtsmanship was acknowledged by numerous awards from the Slade including first prize for her ‘Dying Slave’. These early works foreshadow a lifetime preoccupation with studying the human form, the portrayal of which was such a key aspect of Evelyn De Morgan’s idiom. (3) £200-300

470* De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Double nude study for Phosphorus and Hesperus, black chalk on brown paper, showing two male torsos facing each other, with the outline of an arm below, water-stain to lower blank margin, sheet size 31 x 40cm (12 x 15.75ins) ‘Phosphorus and Hesperus’ was exhibited in 1882 at the Grosvenor Gallery, London, and it is now in the Evelyn De Morgan Foundation (‘Evelyn De Morgan, oil paintings’, DMF, plate 7). The oil painting depicts the Morning Star, Phosphorus, and the Evening Star, Hesperus. Phosphorus is rising, and holds his torch aloft, the flame burning brightly to herald the dawn, which is seen breaking in the sky behind. Hesperus sits with head drooping and his eyes closed as the flame in his torch weakens and gutters. The sinuous grace of the two figures makes for a beautiful composition; the chalk study shows De Morgan working out the precise curvature of the two bodies, although as yet, not their particular relationship to each other. (1) £700-1000
The first item depicts the four violent storm winds locked away by Aoelus, the divine keeper of the winds, to prevent them wreaking havoc on the world unless commanded to do so. This drawing, executed before Evelyn’s marriage, shows her interest in mythology, her preoccupation with the precise delineation of the human form, and her leaning towards frieze-like composition. She returned later to the subject of the winds in two oils, ‘Boreas and Oreithyia’ and ‘Boreas and the Fallen Leaves’, (‘Evelyn De Morgan, oil paintings’, DMF, 1996, plates 33 and 57). (2) £300-400

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT LAW ("DROIT DE SUITE") Lots marked with AR next to the lot number may be subject to Droit de Suite. Droit de Suite is payable on the hammer price of any artwork sold in the lifetime of the artist, or within 70 years of the artist's death. The buyer agrees to pay Dominic Winter Auctioneers Ltd. an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artist's collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot. The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale. Please refer to the DACS website www.dacs.org.uk and the Artists’ Collecting Society website www.artistscollectingsociety.org for further details.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account. 3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 20% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 20% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission. 4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared. 5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.
7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer. 9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions. 12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
