(ANATOMY) DENNY, D’ARCY

(ANATOMY) EUSTACHI, BARTOLOMEO and BERNHARD ALBINUS

[Phrenology and psychology: a plan of a human head of good shape for a standard type, showing some thirfty faculties of human nature, all located from bone]. Biggin Hill, Kent, circa 1930.

Bernardi Siegfried Albini. Explicatio tabularum anatomicarum. Bartholomaei Eustachii, anatomici summi. Auctor recognovit, castigavit, auxit, denuo edidit. Leiden: Joannem & Hermannum Verbeek, 1761. Second edition.

Broadside, featuring an engraved map of the soul, with minor loss at faint vertical fold and general wear. Unframed.

Quarter leather over contemporary boards (44 cm. tall), with expected wear; rebacked, with gilt lettering to spine and seven raised bands. Contents collated as complete. Illustrated with 89 plates; two gatherings of which pull loose from the binding, which is otherwise sound. Seven dated ownership inscriptions, from 1832 until 1956, noted in various hands on front endpaper; undecipherable signature to end of text. With short catalogue for Verbeek publishing house on verso of final leaf. Accompanied by envelope of correspondence, including letter of gift to Dr. Sidney Schulman, famed Chicago neurologist. Plates and text preserved in remarkable condition, with minor soiling to a handful.

Denny, who also published a work against permanent taxation, apparently was a reformer in the late phase of phrenology, arguing here that “quality is a greater factor in intelligence than size.” One copy recorded at the British Library. Property from the Collection of Ronald Kuntz, Sugar Grove, Illinois $200-400

The accompanying letter of gift provides a comprehensive description: “I had great fun tracking down a book that might be appropriate for you. I wanted to find early anatomical plates of the nervous system, more particularly the brain, but I settled for this 1761 edition of the

plates of Eustachius with a text by Albinus (the Latinized name used by a famous professor of anatomy at Leiden; his real name was Bernhard Siegfried Weiss). Eustachius finished these fine copper plates in 1552, but only a few were published during his lifetime and his text was lost for the most part. The plates were found in the early 18th century and given to the current Pope (of all things) and he gave them to his physician who published a 1714 edition in Rome... I have the word of Charles Singer, historian of anatomy and physiology, that if Eustachius had published these plates when he finished them, he would have been recognized with Vesalius and Leonardo as a founder of modern anatomy. His plates are not beautiful, as are those of Vesalius, but in many respects they are more accurate and his plate of the sympathetic nervous system, base of the brain and origin of the cranial nerves is supposed to be particularly fine.” Property from the University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois $600-800

(NATURAL HISTORY) BURKE, DR. EDGAR

In October 1925, the Ideal Racing Pigeon Club was officially chartered by the American Racing Pigeon Union. Dr. Edgar Burke (1889-1950), a New Jersey surgeon and avid sportsman, joined the club in the 1930s and proceeded to paint the portraits of the prize-winning pigeons that he bred and entered into competition. Burke’s handsome portraits reflect his work with Eugene V. Connett III, the publisher of the Derrydale Press, for whom he was commissioned to illustrate two works: Feathered game (1929) and Upland game bird shooting in America (1939). The present archive includes 12 gouache-on-board paintings by Dr. Burke’s of his racing pigeons (14 x 17 cm., on average): four of them individually framed and accompanied with certificates documenting the details of their winning races (e.g., nickname, registration number, distance, average speed, weather and wind conditions); two of them individually framed with anecdotal details supplied in typescript; and another six (8 x 8 cm. each) housed together in a single frame, with typescript information about their racing histories provided on the verso, along with an image of the Ideal Racing Pigeon Club’s trophy. Also included is a pigeon race timing clock made in Germany by Robert Plasschaert, documenting the unique method of timing pigeon races, as well as the Ideal Racing Pigeon Club’s Charter, with 16 of its original members identified in manuscript and signed by the Secretary and President of the American Racing Pigeon Union (Edward Barnes and E. van Wulfen). Property from the Collection of Edward T. Pollack Fine Arts, Portland, Maine $6,000-8,000

In this short comparative essay on mentalities, Stapledon differentiates ancient from modern (see “scientific”) wisdoms; the latter being identified as originating in ancient Greece. “Each of these two wisdoms, these attitudes to the universe, contains important truths which the other ignores.” The corrected proof contains a number of significant excisions, along with the insertion of numerous sub-headings, to further structure his argument towards synthesis. Accompanied by an obituary clipping, identifying Stapledon as “a writer of boldly speculative and scientific fantasies and a left-wing liberal thinker who in recent years had taken a prominent part in various Communist-organized international conferences of intellectuals.” Property from the Collection of Ronald Kuntz, Sugar Grove, Illinois $800-1,200

(VIEWS) (RAILROADS) MORAN, THOMAS

Grand Canyon of Arizona from Hermit Rim Road. New York: Printed by American Lithographic Co., and published by Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway System, 1913. Color-printed lithograph (27 x 35 INCHES).

This print is the largest and most dramatic of Thomas Moran’s printed works. It was published by the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad in 1912, after the original oil commissioned for (and still owned by) the line. It shows a tremendous sweep of the scenery of the Grand Canyon from the Hermit Rim, with the bright colors of the Canyon shown dramatically against the turbulent sky.

Railroad, whose line now brought tourists within easy reach, and painted a large canvas for the line in return for a free trip. The SFRR completed a spur line to the rim in 1901, and consistently sponsored “artist’s excursions” there from 1901 to 1912, as well as purchasing paintings for promotional efforts. In 1912 the railroad capped twenty years of association with Moran by commissioning this picture and producing this large chromolithograph.

Thomas Moran, famous for his superb landscapes of the West, first painted the Grand Canyon in 1873 when he painted his “Chasm of the Colorado,” which he sold to Congress the following year. In 1892 he visited the Canyon as a guest of the Santa Fe

A small number remained in the archives of the railroad, and so have retained their untrimmed state. The present example is in this uncirculated condition. $2,000-3,000

John Baptist Henes John Baptist Henes is remembered in his hometown of Menominee, Michigan, as community patron of the arts and a leading proponent of historic preservation. Among his most notable achievements, he spearheaded passage of a historic district ordinance that set the stage for preservation and later rehabilitation of the city’s unique logging-era waterfront district. This accomplishment, along with his success in preserving the county’s historic courthouse, launching a restoration of the city’s aging Opera House, and years of service on community boards, led to his being recognized by the city with the Community Service Award for 2011. The award acknowledges “his love of and support in the community making Menominee a better place to live and do business.” As early as 1957 Mr. Henes founded the Menominee Arts Council, later renamed the Menominee Area Arts Council, and he personally sponsored a wide variety of cultural activities, including music, films and art exhibition. In 2013 the council established the John B. Henes Scholarship Fund in 2013 in appreciation of his contributions to the arts and culture in the Menominee area. A Word War II veteran with service in France and—with his late wife Jewell—a world traveler, Mr. Henes collected paintings, sculptures, pottery and ceramics, rugs and glassware, books and music. As directed by his will, several grand paintings have been donated to the local library. Some of the proceeds from the items offered here will go to the John and Julie Henes Foundation to benefit the city of Menominee.

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.
