Provenance: Anthony Standen (ca 1548 - ?), English intelligencer (early signatures on final leaf); Willi Drewe (ex-dono inscription). THE EDITION OF CHAUCER LIKELY USED BY SHAKESPEARE AS A SOURCE FOR TROILUS AND CRESSIDA Fifth edition of the Collected Works, one of two recorded issues with this date: as here, with the preliminaries collating A6, and another with preliminary woodcuts and with preliminaries collating A4. Traditionally, it has been believed that the illustrated issue was printed first, with the cuts omitted in the second issue. More recent scholarship suggests that the printer came into possession of the woodcuts belatedly, and that the unillustrated issue was first (see David R. Carlson, “The Woodcut Illustrations in Early Printed Editions of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales”, in Chaucer Illustrated: Five Hundred Years of the Canterbury Tales in Pictures, British Library, 2003). The text, edited by John Stowe, is based on William Thynne’s translation, which was the first serious attempt at a critical edition; the majority of the works added to here to the Chaucer canon for the first time are spurious.

Provenance: a few old annotations and markings to blank areas and verso of final leaf. FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH. “’The Prince’ is far more than a book of directions to any one of the many Italian princelings. Machiavelli had profited by his journeys to France and Germany to make the most able analyses (in his reports to his government) of a national government, and he now wrote for the guidance of the ruler by whom alone Italy, desperately divided, could be restored to political health. Hitherto political speculation had tended to be a rhetorical exercise based on the implicit assumption of Church or Empire....Politics was a science to be divorced entirely from ethics, and nothing must stand in the way of its machinery. Many of the remedies he proposed for the rescue of Italy were eventually applied. His concept of the qualities demanded from a ruler and the absolute need of a national militia came to fruition in the monarchies of the seventeenth century and their national armies” (PMM).

Furter also printed two later editions in 1504 and 1515.

Contemporary black levant, spine in 5 compartments with 4 raised bands, giltlettered in one compartment, turn-ins and black morocco doublures gilt, blue watered silk endpapers, edges stained red (light rubbing to upper joint). Originally printed by the Salmin Brothers of Padua, Hoepli purchased a number of copies and issued the identical volume but with a new title page. The printing process was arduous, in part because of the minuscule 2-point Didot type (so-called “flies’ eye” type), according to Spielmann, “thought to be the smallest ever employed,” and “said to have injured the eyesight of both the compositor and the corrector.” Because only 30 pages could be printed in a month, the work took many years to complete. The project was begun in 1850 by Giacomo Gnocchi, but the work was abandoned. Resumed in 1873 by his son Giovanni, the edition was completed at the Printing Works ‘Alla Minerva’ in Padua overseen by Gaetano Gianuzzi and completed on 9 June 1878.

165 POTTER, Beatrix (1866-1943). Original pencil drawing showing the head and shoulders of a rabbit in profile nibbling some greens. [c.1890s]. 177 x 138mm. SIGNED with initials “H.B.P.” at lower right corner. Additionally inscribed in lower margin: “a rabbit for Nicola”. With a later crayon border in green and orange in an unknown hand. (Some light spotting and toning.) Mounted on backing board. A finely detailed study of a rabbit which likely dates from the 1890s, before publication of her first children’s book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1901). From her early childhood Potter was interested in nature, and her parents encouraged her artistic pursuits. She and her younger brother Walter Bertram kept numerous small animals as pets in their schoolroom which they frequently studied and drew. Her highly detailed studies of lizards, snails, bats, mice, rabbits, butterflies and insects display a keen scientific observation and artistic ability. During the family’s long summer holidays to rural areas she also took the opportunity to draw the plants, fungi and animals she encountered in the countryside. Potter had a succession of two pet rabbits who served as models for some of her earliest published work, and inspired some of her most beloved characters. The first, her favorite, was “Benjamin Bouncer”, who often accompanied her on leash; the second was “Peter Piper,” whom she trained to perform tricks. She often wrote about their antics in her journals. The present drawing demonstrates both her technical ability and anatomical knowledge, which would provide the groundwork for her later more fluid illustrations in her Peter Rabbit books. The recipient of this drawing has not been identified, and the inscription may have been added later by Potter? at the time of gifting. The V & A has two similar pencil studies of rabbits which seem to date from the same period as this drawing, both acquired in 1973 as part of the extensive Leslie Linder Bequest of Beatrix Potter material [see BP.1014(IV) and BP.377]. $10,000-15,000

Unto which is added, SEVEN PLAYS, Never before Printed in Folio. [London: Printed for H. Herringman, E. Brewster, and R. Bentley, 1685.] Folio (354 x 222 mm.). Woodcut initials. (Lacking the first 6 leaves, H1, 2H5, and the final leaf, all supplied in facsimile, a few leaves with mostly marginal repairs occasionally affecting border and a few letters supplied in pen facsimile, tiny wormhole in lower margin of several leaves at end, some minor soiling, a few rust-holes occasionally affecting letters.) Early 20th-century blind-stamped reversed calf, brown morocco lettering-piece gilt, edges gilt (upper cover detached). Provenance: Louis Auchincloss (19172010), American lawyer, novelist and historian (morocco bookplate). FOURTH FOLIO EDITION, issue unknown. The edition was set from the second issue of the Third Folio. The Fourth Folio is the last edition of Shakespeare’s plays published in the 17th century, and was regarded by 18th-century editors, readers and collectors as textually the best edition, until Samuel Johnson and especially Edward Capell demonstrated the superiority of the First Folio. The most immediately striking aspect of the Fourth Folio is its height. Herringman and his co-publishers decided on a larger paper size to increase the number of lines per page and decrease the bulk of the book; thus, including the added plays, the number of sheets in the Fourth Folio is almost exactly the same as that in the First and Second.

172 SHAKESPEARE, William (1564-1616). Much adoe about Nothing. -- Loves Labour’s Lost. [Extracted from the First Folio]. [London: printed by Thomas Cotes, 1632]. Folio (300 x 207 mm). Comprising 44 pages (pp. 101-144) on 22 leaves (I3-M6). (A few rule borders slightly shaved, affecting the signature and catchword on one leaf, some minor staining to a few leaves.) 20th-century brown morocco-backed boards, brown morocco lettering-piece gilt on upper cover. Provenance: Bennett H. Jackson (bookplate). Second folio printing of these Shakespearean comedies. Much Ado about Nothing was first published in a quarto edition in 1600 which is generally regarded as being accurate and reliable. Loves Labour’s Lost was first published in a quarto edition of 1598. The title-page of that edition states that the play was “Newly corrected and augmented by W. Shakespere,” suggesting it is a revision of an earlier edition. These quarto editions of each play are the basis of the text published in the 1623 First Folio, which was reprinted nearly page-for-page and issued just 9 years later as the Second Folio. See W.B. Todd. “The Issues and States of the Second Folio and Milton’s Epitaph,” in: Studies in Bibliography V (1952-53), pp. 81-108. (for Second Folio). Property from the Collection of Edward A.

Audubon’s double-elephant folio edition of The Birds of America (1827-1838) established his reputation as the greatest ornithological artist of his time. Though that edition was published in London to ensure the quality of the plates, he employed the Philadelphia firm of J. T. Bowen to produce this more commercially viable edition under the close supervision of his sons. The original subscription price was $100, and its commercial success granted Audubon financial security.

Kennelly, Attorney (gilt lettering on cover). AL CAPONE GUILTY OF TAX EVASION The trial of Alphonse Capone opened on October 5, 1931 in Chicago, with Judge James H. Wilkerson presiding. Having received a tip that Capone and his organization had tried to influence prospective jury members, Judge Wilkerson began the trial with a request: “Judge Barnes has another trial commencing today, go to his courtroom and bring me his entire panel of jurors; take my entire panel to Judge Barnes courtroom.” After the new jury panel was seated, Judge Wilkerson ordered that voir dire could begin. On October 17, 1931, after just 9 hours of deliberation, the jury returned their verdict: Capone was found guilty of three felonies and two misdemeanors, relating to his failure to file or pay income taxes between 1925 and 1929. Judge Wilkerson sentenced Al Capone to serve 11 years in prison and to pay $80,000 in fines and fees. The present copy includes jury selection proceedings from October 5th and 6th, Assistant U. S. District Attorney Jacob Grossman’s argument to the jury, and the direct and cross examination of several witnesses.

Without the map, as usual. (Small tissue repair to gutter margin title page recto crossing a few letters but not affecting legibility, without final blank leaf P4, some browning or spotting throughout.) Modern calf. FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST BOOK ON KENTUCKY, AND THE FIRST BIOGRAPHY OF DANIEL BOONE. John Filson, one of the founders of Cincinnati, acquired 13,000 acres in Lexington, Kentucky, where he worked as a teacher and surveyor. Daniel Boone himself (along with Levi Todd and James Harrod) vouch for the authenticity of Filson’s text: “at the request of the author of this book, and map, [we] have carefully revised them, and recommend them to the public, as exceedingly good performances, containing as accurate a description of our country as we think can possibly be given.” Filson’s text occupies 41 pages, followed by three appendices, the first of which is “The Adventures of Col. Daniel Boon,” dictated by Boone. Filson refines Boone’s diction, but the resulting narrative stands as a classic account of the settlement and exploration of the frontier. Boone concludes that “This account of my adventures will inform the reader of the most remarkable events of this country.” Included here are also descriptions of the discoveries of mammoth bones and burial sites are also recounted, as are descriptions of Indian customs and manners. Tenoor Rook’s map, mentioned on the title-page, was printed separately in Philadelphia and is virtually never found with the text. According to American Book Prices Current, no copy of the book with the map has been sold at auction since the Robert Hoe copy was sold as part of the stock of George D. Smith in 1921.

John Aaron Rawlins manuscript endorsement signed, written in a secretarial hand, Young’s Point, Louisiana, 10 February 1863. Accomplished beneath General William Vandever autograph endorsement signed, House of Representatives, 23 February 1863. LINCOLN GRANTS IOWA REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAM VANDEVER A LEAVE OF ABSENCE: “Let this leave of ab-sence be extended twenty additional days. A. Lincoln February 24, 1863.” Lieutenant Colonel and Assistant Adjutant General John Aaron Rawlins (1831-1869) signs an order granting Brigadier General William Vandever (1817-1893) a 20-day leave of absence on 10 February. Writing from Washington D. C. nearly two weeks later on the verso, Vandever submits a request to Secretary of War Stanton: “I respectfully ask an extension of the within leave for twenty days - I find it important to remain a short time in this city as my official term as a member of the House is about to expire.” Although Vandever’s official congressional biography notes that he served in Congress until 24 September 1861 (early in his second term), he never officially resigned his seat when he mustered into the U. S. Army. In May 1862, George H. Browne, Congressman from Rhode Island, challenged the constitutionality of Vandever holding a military commission and commanding a regiment while remaining a member of Congress. Consideration by the House was deferred until December 1862. On March 4, 1863, the day after Vandever’s second House term ended, the Senate approved his appointment as a Brigadier General. $4,000-6,000

It is simply that I ought not to be in a controversy with him. It would be like Balfour having a joint debate with Poultney Bigelow.” Philippe Bunau-Varilla (1859-1940) greatly influenced the selection of the the construction site for the Panama Canal; he worked closely with Roosevelt in the orchestration of the Panamanian Revolution. $600-800

Original cloth-backed illustrated boards with publisher’s thick acetate dust-jackets; original cloth slipcase; original cardboard box. LIMITED EDITION, number 87 of 200 COPIES, EACH SIGNED BY THE POET AND ARTIST on the limitation page on Hahnemüle paper. Tiber Press was founded in New York in 1953 by master printer Floriano Vecchi and Richard Miller; they specialized in dynamic screenprints by the leading Abstract Expressionist artists of the time. This project was the press’s most ambitious: the text was hand set and printed in Walbaum-Antiqua type on handmade paper by Brüder Harmann in West Berlin; the flat sheets were brought back to Tiber Press where they were printed with the artists’ works, which were drawn or painted directly onto silk screens solely for this publication. A significant collaboration between four of the most influential American poets of the second half of the 20th century and four important second-generation New York School artists. Each of the collaborators lived in New York City; the press “left the choice of partners in this project to the individuals themselves, and, in collaborating, the poet and painter were acknowledging an awareness of some real relationship between their work” (prospectus).

Printers, binders, sellers, and others that make a trade and gain out of them have universally so odd a turn and corruption of mind, that they have a way of dealing peculiar to themselves, and not conformed to the good of society, and that general fairness that cements mankind.” Property from the Collection of Thomas J.

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 312.280.1212 for further information.
GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS Conditions of Sale Hindman LLC encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. Exhibitions Hindman LLC 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 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 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 In-House Bidding Live bidding at Hindman LLC is by paddle only. Please register for a paddle at the entrance of the sales room. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer. Online Bidding 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 use the absentee bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Hindman LLC will exercise written order bids and telephone bids at no additional charge. Lots will always be sold as inexpensively as is allowed other bids and reserves as are on our books or bids executed in competition from the audience. 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 glossary at the end defines the words in bold type.
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
152 F I N E B O O K S A N D M A N U S C R I P T S , I N C L U D I N G A M E R I C A N A
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 $250,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000. 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. (iv) Cash: We accept cash payments (including money orders and traveler’s checks) subject to a maximum aggregate of US $10,000 per buyer, per sale. (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. (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. 154 F I N E B O O K S A N D M A N U S C R I P T S , I N C L U D I N G A M E R I C A N A
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.
