The Birds of America, from Drawings Made in the United States and Their Territories. New York: J.J. Audubon; Philadelphia: J.B. Chevalier, [1839], 1840-1844. 7 vols.

Provenance: The present copy was owned by an early member of the Ark Club (Cleveland, OH), which was founded by William and Leonard Case. See full provenance, lot 38.

The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America. New York: J.J. Audubon, 1845-1848. 3 vols. Elephant folios, contemporary 3/4 black morocco over cloth, gilt-lettered spines. The present, rare, three-volume edition, with all of its title pages, is in very good condition, unrestored, with brilliant coloring. First edition of “the largest successful color plate book project of 19th-century America,” (Reese) complete, with 150 handcolored lithographed plates by J.J. Audubon and J.W. Audubon,

Fine Books AND Manuscripts

backgrounds by Victor Audubon, lithography by J.T. Bowen, three lithographed title pages, and leaves of contents. Early issue, bound in three volumes. The later editions were bound in two volumes, with inferior coloring, and without the title-page for volume three. The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America, following the success of, and funded with the profits by, Audubon’s The Birds of America, was meant to match the magnificence of Audubon’s magnum ornithological opus; it stands apart as having been entirely produced in the United States, with over 300 original subscribers. As his last great achievement, The Quadrupeds firmly established Audubon as one of history’s greatest natural history artists.


John James Audubon was able to complete seventy-seven drawings before his failing health kept him from work. The remaining drawings were executed by his sons, John Woodhouse and Victor. John Bachman, Audubon’s collaborator and the fatherin-law of John Wodehouse and Victor, insisted that all of the profits go to the Audubon family. The work originally appeared in thirty numbers with five plates each, with each number costing ten dollars. The project was incredibly commercially successful, due in large part to the management of Victor Audubon. Plate 150 (Jaguar) with crease crossing image and 9-inch separation at fold, leaving impression on plate 151; plate 1 (Wild Cat) with 1-inch tear on bottom edge; one plate with pencilled manuscript notation; some soiling at edges; a number of plates with minor finger soiling; minor intermittent foxing; f.f.e.p. vols. 1 and 2 creased; “Case School of Applied Sciences” stamp to title page each vol.; otherwise plates are very clean with exceptionally bright coloring and free from repairs.

Provenance: The present set was owned by one of the last members of the Ark Club (Cleveland, OH), which was founded by William Case and Leonard Case. In 1835, Leonard Case turned over the use of his home to the “Arkites,” for their collection of bird and mammal specimens. He willed that the property and its contents be sold to establish the Case School of Applied Sciences, with the exception of two rooms, for which he established a life-long lease for 15 members, including the original owner of the present set, until the last had passed. The space was used as Case Library until it was torn down by the city to make room for the Cleveland Post Office, at which time the three remaining members were awarded damages. Owned by one of the last surviving members of this group of 15, the present set, while housed in the Case Library before its demolition, has been bequeathed through family for over a century and has thus remained in private hands.

First edition, with half-title in volume II only as issued and publisher’s advertisement to verso of p. 587 at end of volume II. This is the first edition of “the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought.” (PMM) In it, Adam Smith discusses the division of labor, productivity, and free markets. “The Wealth of Nations had no rival in scope or depth when published and is still one of the few works in its field to have achieved classic status, meaning simply that it has sustained yet survived repeated reading, critical and adulatory, long after the circumstances which prompted it have become the object of historical enquiry. As philosopher Smith had taken up the challenge of providing an ‘imaginary machine’ that would render coherent the everyday appearances of an emerging world.” (Oxford D.N.B.) Fading and light wear to slipcase; ex-library copy with “Library University of Illinois, Urbana” blind-stamp to title page, contents leaves A2-A3, B1, pp. 147-154, and pp. 499-510, vol. 1, and title page and B1, vol. 2; inventory stamp in green to A2, vol. 1 and B1, vol. 2; contents leaves A2-A3 detached from vol. 1; minor chipping at gutter of title page, vol. 1; half-title creased with two 2-inch tears along fold, vol. 2; 5-1/4 x 2-inch tear to bottom right corner of p. 67, vol. 1; intermittent light brownspotting; text block leaning, vol. 2; darkening to some leaves at extremities.

MCKENNEY, THOMAS L. AND JAMES HALL

History of the Indian Tribes of North America, with Biographical Sketches and Anecdotes of the Principal Chiefs. Philadelphia: Frederick W. Greenough, 1838; Daniel Rice and James G. Clark, 1844. 3 vols. Folio, contemporary 3/4 brown morocco over marbled boards, Louis Philippe I copy with his monogram, featuring the initials “LP” surmounted by a crown, gilt-stamped to spine in four compartments, original buff endpapers. Housed in custom cloth clamshell cases with titles in gilt to leather spine labels. First edition. Complete with 120 hand-colored lithographed plates heightened with gum arabic, and black and white fold-out lithographed map to vol. 3. Originally issued to Louis Philippe I, King of France during the July Monarchy, a tumultuous period during which the bourgeoisie dominated and which marked a shift in the basis of legitimate power from divine right to popular support. Late in his reign the king’s popularity began to decline. In 1848, social unrest escalated into revolution, the fall of the monarchy, and the establishment of the Second Republic. Louis Philippe was forced to abdicate the French throne in 1848 and flee to England where he lived the remainder of his life in exile. After his death, his family sold his belongings, including the present copy of this work, at auction in 1852.

In 1821, Thomas McKenney, Superintendent of the United States Indian Trade Office (1816-1822), Superintendent of Indian Affairs (1822-1824), and the first director of the Office of Indian Affairs, began to commission artist Charles Bird King to produce portraits of Native Americans who had traveled to Washington, D.C. as delegates to negotiate treaties with the federal government. McKenney then commissioned lithographs of the paintings to be published in three volumes, each portrait to be accompanied by a biography of the subject, written by James Hall, author, judge and Treasurer of Illinois. The publication was never fully completed due to the high cost of the subscription fees. In the winter of 1865, 295 of the original Indian portraits completed for the project, in storage at the Smithsonian Institution, were destroyed in a fire, and only five survived. Due to the work of McKenney, Hall and King, before and after the fire, the current work is considered one of “the grandest color plate books issued in the United States up to the time of its publication... “ (Reese). Light wear to boards; gilt-embossed bookplate J.C.

GREENER, RICHARD T.

Partially printed document, one page, on vellum, being the original Bachelor of Arts diploma for Richard Theodore Greener from Harvard College, June 28, 1870. Richard Greener (1844-1922) was the first African-American graduate of Harvard College. After studying at Oberlin and Andover, Greener enrolled in Harvard in 1865, where he won two Bowdoin Prizes as an undergraduate. Following his graduation with honors, Greener taught philosophy at the University of South Carolina, from which he was able to obtain his law degree in 1876. He was admitted to the South Carolina bar in 1878 and later became the dean of the department of law at Howard University. Greener was appointed secretary of the Grant Memorial Association in New York in 1885 and, later, U.S. commercial agent at Vladivostok in Siberia by President McKinley in 1898. He retired from office and foreign service in 1905 and lived with cousins in Chicago until his death in 1922. Greener’s daughter, called Belle da Costa Greene, was an expert in medieval manuscripts who worked directly with J.P. Morgan at the Morgan Library in New York and is said to have been the mistress of the art historian and critic, Bernard Berenson.

Richard Greener’s personal papers, previously thought to have been lost during the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, were recovered in recent years by the present owner from a home in Chicago. A portion of the documents were sold to the University of South Carolina. The first African-American graduate of Harvard College, the first African-American faculty member at University of South Carolina, and an intellectual luminary in Reconstruction-period America, Greener was a pioneer of social and racial equality in the racially divided South. His Harvard diploma, a document of incalculable historical significance, has never before been offered at public auction. 14 5/8 x 19 5/8 inches Property from the Collection of Rufus McDonald, Chicago, Illinois $10,000-15,000

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 Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. 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; fifteen percent (15%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2,001 or more but less than $5,001; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2000 and less with a minimum commission of $25 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price. Shipping Arrangements Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. 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 Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and deducted from the proceeds of the sale.

Guide for Prospective Buyers Conditions of Sale Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. Exhibitions Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. recommends that all prospective buyers attend the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our pre-sale exhibitions to advise prospective buyers on particular objects or on any aspect of the bidding process. Estimates Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. 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 Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

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 normal bidding increments are: $0-$200 $10 $200-$500 $25 $500-$1,000 $50 $1,000-$2,000 $100 $2,000-$5,000 $200 $5,000-$10,000 $500 $10,000-$20,000 $1,000 $20,000-$50,000 $2,000 $50,000-$100,000 $5,000 $100,000-$200,000 $10,000 Over $200,000 Auctioneer’s discretion

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

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

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

Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids. Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.

In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted us a security interest in, and we may retain as collateral security for such purchaser’s obligations to us, any property in our possession owned by such purchaser. At our option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed their authenticity.
