13 [BIBLE, in English]. The Holy Bible, containing the Old Testament and the New. Oxford: John Baskett, 1717-16. 2 volumes in one, folio. Title and calendar printed in red and black, ruled in red throughout, engraved frontispiece by Du-Bose after J. Thornhill, general title with engraved view of Oxford by G. Vander Gucht, title to the New Testament with vignette, engraved head-pieces and initials. 19th-century blindstamped reversed calf (covers damaged, rebacked). Known as the “Vinegar Bible” from the misprint “the parable of the vinegar” for “vineyard” in Luke XX. As the great Bible monopolist, John Baskett was also parodied by contemporary wits who called his huge Bible a “Baskett-full of errors”. Nevertheless, Harry Carter, the historian of Oxford printing, states that “only Baskerville’s Bible (Cambridge, 1763) is its equal among English Bibles for beauty of type, impression, and paper” (The History of the Oxford University Press, 1975, I, p. 171). Two distinct variants are recorded: the present copy is Darlow & Moule’s issue A, with an additional engraved general title page depicting Moses writing the first words of Genesis (here bound as frontispiece), a vignette view of Oxford on the general title page, and vignette title page for the New Testament depicting the Annunciation, dated 1716. Two distinct variants are recorded: the present copy is Darlow & Moule’s issue A, with an additional engraved general title page depicting Moses writing the first words of Genesis (here bound as frontispiece), a vignette view of Oxford on the general title page, and vignette title page for the New Testament depicting the Annunciation, dated 1716.

(First few leaves slightly frayed, last two leaves damaged and badly bound.) Contemporary blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards (worn, lacking clasps and catches). An 18th-century reprint of the 1536 Froschauer Bible, which was published by the Swiss Anabaptists who migrated to Alsace in the 17th century. Forerunners to the Amish and Mennonites, the Swiss Brethren brought their beloved Froschauer Bibles with them as they went into exile, and as these old German-language Bibles became scarce, they commissioned this reprint by Kürtzner, who was the official state printer in Strassburg. Property from the Collection of LSC Communications, Inc. $300 - 400
15 [BIBLE, in German]. Biblia, das ist, Die Heilige Schrift Altes und Neues Testaments. Germantown: Christoph Saur, 1763. 4to (243 x 185 mm).

16 [BIBLE, in English]. The Holy Bible, containing the Old Testament and the New… Cambridge: John Baskerville, 1763. Folio (504 x 321 mm). (Some slight spotting or browning.) Contemporary blue straightgrained morocco gilt (rebacked preserving original spine, some light wear). ONE OF 1,250 COPIES, third state (with the list of subscribers ending with “York”). A handsome copy with wide margins of this fine edition by Baskerville which “has always been regarded as Baskerville’s magnum opus, and is his most magnificent as well as his most characteristic specimen” (T.B. Reed, A History of the Old English Letter Foundries ..., p. 279). It is particularly notable for its unadorned elegance and large, clear type. As his prospectus for 1761 announced, since “many Gentlemen have objected to every Kind of Ornament round the Page, the work will be printed quite plain, with the marginal notes all at the bottom.” Herbert 1146; D&M 857; Gaskell 26; Rothschild 2640; ESTC T93106.

18 [BIBLE, in German]. Biblia, das ist: die ganze göttliche Heilige Schrift Alten und Neuen Testaments, nach der deutschen Uebersetzung D. Martin Luthers… Germantown: Christoph Sauer, 1776. Thick 4to (287 x 228 mm). Engraved front piece, general title-page, separate titlepage, register, and pagination for the New Testament, fraktur type set in two columns, woodcut initials, printer’s ornaments used as head- and tailpieces. (Some spotting or browning, some chipping at edges.) Old sheep (rebacked, hinge broken, very worn, lacking clasps). The third edition and the first Bible to be printed with American type. In his History of American Printing (1810), Isaiah Thomas first circulated an apocryphal story about the circumstances that befell this particular edition to the effect that the book acquired the sobriquet of the “Gun-Wad” Bible. Thomas writes: “[Sauer’s] estate was confiscated before the close of the war, and his books, bound and unbound, were sold, among these the principal of the last edition of the Bible in sheets. Some copies of them had been before, and others of them were now, converted into cartridges …” (quoted by Rumball-Petrie). Dr. John Wright further embellished the story in his Early Bibles of America (1894), stating the British had confiscated the bible sheets to use as litter for their horses as well as wadding for their muskets. Rumball-Petrie debunks the myth, as there is no contemporary, empirical evidence to support these claims.

The completed volume bearing the date of the first number, although publication was not completed until 1796 or 1797.

Provenance: Samuel Harvey (signature); J. W. Harvey (signature); Henry C. McCook (signature and bookplate).

Upon his retirement from serving as secretary of the Continental Congress (1774-89), Charles Thomson (1729-1824) devoted himself to the Greek Bible or Septuagint, an ancient translation from the original Hebrew, and his translation took 19 years to complete. The fourth volume contains Thomson’s translation of the New Testament. Jane Aitken was the daughter of Philadelphia printer Robert Aitken who had printed the first English Bible in America.

Leeser’s preface explains that this massive undertaking sprung from “a desire entertained for more than a quarter of a century, since the day he quitted school in his native land to come to this country, to present to his fellow-Israelites an English version, made by one of themselves, of the Holy Word of God.” Readers would now “have an opportunity to study a version of the Bible which has not been made by the authority of churches in which they have no confidence.” Goldman 12 (“first English translation of the complete Bible by a Jew”); Hills 1540; Singerman 1271; Wright, p.124.

In her 16 August 1944 letter, she describes her home: “I live on the edge of a strip of many miles of badlands -- the governments largest experiment in erosion controls -- they can’t control it -- It starts a stones throw from my kitchen door -- and I can not throw far -- red hills - purple shills with streaks and patches of green earth --- yellow and lavender cliffs very high and far-seeing all around the back -- about half a mile away - with their red foothills...the colors and shapes are so fantastic.” After describing travels in her 23 June 1949, letter, she muses: “I intend to settle down and just be a painter.” She invites her friend to visit her in New Mexico in her letter of 23 August 1950: “Your moving will not seem so bad when you have been away to a new sort of world.” In a 2 July 1951 letter, she apologizes for her slow responses: “Oh I am so slow -- I think so often of you and go on about my life like a squirrel in a cage and do not write in spite of my intentions.” In a November 1951 letter, O’Keeffe reports that she will not visit New York in the winter: “I do not plan to go to N. Y. this winter --- it seems so far away to me that I find the years there almost like a dream.” 202A

The young used many voices—anger, contempt, self-pity—but the quietest, that of a decent perplexed American adolescent, proved the most telling” (Anthony Burgess, 99 Novels, pp. 5354). $1,000 - 1,500

207 SHELLEY, Percy Bysshe (1792-1822). Queen Mab. London: W. Clark, 1821. 8vo. With 1p. advertisement leaf at end. ORIGINAL BOARDS, original printed label to spine, uncut (some chipping with small losses to spine label, some light wear to extremities); quarter morocco slipcase. Provenance: Charles W. Frederickson (1823-), noted Shelley collector (bookplate with manuscript date of acquisition, May 1858, his sale, Bangs & Co., 24-28 May 1897, Lot 1568, a few pencil notes in his hand). PIRATED FIRST EDITION, thin paper copy, issued without the dedication to Harriet *****, but this copy with the dedication leaf supplied and laid in (purportedly from a copy of the 1822 Carlile edition). Queen Mab was first privately printed in 1813. This pirated edition of 1821, printed by R. Clark, precedes the first authorized edition, which was composed of the remaining sheets from Clark’s edition and issued with a new title-page by Carlile in 1822. When Shelley learned of Clark’s unauthorized edition, he protested the piracy; Clark appeared before the Court of King’s Bench on 23 June and pleaded not guilty to publishing an “indecent, immoral and scandalous poem.” According to Geroge Goodspeed, “His trial did not take place until late in the following year, but the book appears to have been suppressed, nominally at least, very soon after its publication” (See The Colophon, New Graphic Series, No. 1, p.2532, 1939).

Ledoux (1880-1948), American poet, George Edward Woodberry scholar, Japanese print collector (engraved bookplate). “First American edition,” but really the second unauthorized edition, with a false imprint, believed to be published by William Benbow in London in 1821. In “The ‘First American’ Queen Mab,” George Goodspeed notes: “The suppression of Clark’s edition of Queen Mab [see previous lot] left the field open to another publisher. Demand had been stimulated by the controversy and the source of supply had been cut off. Benbow was nothing if not an opportunist» (See The Colophon, New Graphic Series, No. 1, p.2532, 1939).

Provenance: John Duke Coleridge, 1st Baron Coleridge (1820-1894), great-nephew of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (signature on blank leaf, two annotations, initials at end, ALS from Edward Moxon tipped in); Frank T. Sabin (d.1915), London rare book and autograph dealer (ALS from Thomas Hookham with postscript in Sabin’s hand); T. Tileston Wells (armorial bookplate); Louis V. Ledoux (18801948), American poet, George Edward Woodberry scholar, Japanese print collector (engraved bookplate). FIRST EDITION of this “ingenious forgery perpetuated by an impostor, claiming to be the son of Lord Byron. Two genuine letters, which happened to be in Moxon’s hands, were included. The fraud was discovered, to the chagrin of Browning and Moxon, who at once destroyed all obtainable copies of the book” (Granniss/Grolier Shelley 127). [Bound in:] “Unpublished Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley,” from Fraser’s Magazine, March 1860. -- “The Coliseum. A Fragment.” N.p., n.d.

WITH MANUSCRIPT MATERIAL FROM JOHN DUKE COLERIDGE, EDWARD MOXON & THOMAS HOOKHAM REGARDING THE FORGERIES Two of the published letters include manuscript postscripts regarding the authenticity of those letters. On p.66, following Letter V, he writes: “This letter was printed in the Memoirs of Shelley...in the volume of Coleridge, Shelley & Keats...as early as 1833.” In a note on p.145, following Letter XXI, he notes the specific passages in the letter which led to the doubt of the volume as a whole.

[Tipped in:] MOXON, Edward. Autograph letter signed to Coleridge, n.d. 2 pages, 8vo. Moxon discusses the manuscripts which served as the basis for this work: “The important fact respecting Letter 5 I will immediately communicate to Mr. Cunningham, the writer of the article in the Athenaeum. I may mention it is the decided opinion of Mr. Hookham, who knows more of Shelley’s private history than any one else, that the whole of the letters are genuine. ...My own impression is that the letters which I purchased at Sotheby’s are not in Shelley’s hand writing, but with perhaps two or three exceptions copies of genuine letters.” [Laid in:] HOOKHAM, Thomas. Autograph letter signed to Frank T. Sabin, 9 October 1882. With a post-script in Sabin’s hand. 5pp., 8vo. “You ask me respecting the authenticity of a Letter from Shelley to my Father, which is included in the volume of ‘Letters of P. B. Shelley, edited by Robert Browning,’ and published about 1850. This volumes has long been condemned as spurious, and all the letters indiscriminately pronounced forgeries. All I can say is that the single one addressed to my Father is not so...The letter itself is an unimportant one, and he did not deem it worthwhile to make public his guarantee of the fact. It might naturally lead to the inference that there may be others in the volume equally genuine, but on this point I will not pressure to pass an opinion.” Property from Historic Sengen House, Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York $500 - 700

Florence, Italy, 15 December 1819. 3 pages, square 4to, on a bifolium, addressed on an integral leaf, postmarked 28 December 1819, dampstaining to one corner, significant show-through, some inkburn, a few tiny holes, 4-in tear. FROM THE COLLECTION OF CHARLES W. FREDERICKSON, and sold, his sale, Bangs, 29 May 1897, Lot 2353 (described as “badly stained”). “MY PROMETHEUS IS THE BEST THING I EVER WROTE.” Shelley writes to his publisher Charles Ollier (1788-1859) about Prometheus Unbound: “When the box comes, you may write a note to Mr. Peacock; or it would be better to call on him, and ask if my tragedy is accepted? If not, publish what you find in the box. I think it will succeed as a publication. Let ‘Prometheus’ be printed without delay. You will receive the additions, which Mrs. S. is now transcribing, in a few days. It has already been read to many persons. My Prometheus is the best thing I ever wrote.” Shelley began writing his masterpiece Prometheus Unbound, in early September 1818, but stopped work on the poem following the death of his daughter Clara Everina Shelley later in the month. He began work on the poem again in early 1819, and had finished the majority of the poem by April of that year. He had the work transcribed in September 1819, and sent the manuscript for the first three acts to England in December 1819. The work was published by Ollier 1820, but Shelley found it to be full of printer’s errors. Shelley also discusses future publications: “I mean to write three other poems, the scenes of which will be laid at Rome, Florence, and Naples, but the subjects of which will be all drawn from dreadful or beautiful realities... I am [also] preparing an octavo on reform, --a commonplace kind of book,-- which...I shall not trouble myself to finish for this season. I intend it to be an instructive and readable book, appealing from the passions to the reason of men.” Published in: The Best Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley. Shirley Carter Hughson, editor. Chicago: A. C. McClurg and Company, 1892, pp. 231-233.

C., 19 October 1881. 6 pages, 8vo, on lined paper, creased. Provenance: Acquired from the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop. GARFIELD’S ASSASSIN SEEKS AN ATTORNEY FOR HIS DEFENSE Guiteau writes to Benjamin F. Butler, one of the nation’s great trial lawyers, who had been a member of the U. S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts and who would go on to serve as Governor of Massachusetts. He asks Butler to represent him: “I wish you to defend me & use me to destroy the republican [sic] party…My defense is insanity, in that it was God’s act & not mine.” Guiteau maintained that it was the physicians, and not his bullet, who killed Garfield. Guiteau, a Republican supporter for the election of President Garfield, came to Washington in 1881 to secure a federal office. He did not receive a position, and became enraged at Garfield’s support of civil service reform and his stand on the stalwart wing of the Republican Party, which Garfield opposed, but which Guiteau supported. Guiteau fatally wounded Garfield in the waiting room of the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad in Washington on 2 July 1881, and Garfield died on 19 September 1881.

*361 SOLZHENITSYN, Alexander (1918-2008). An archive of correspondence to Edward Bennett Williams, including letters regarding a luncheon with President Ronald Reagan. Comprising 6 typed letters signed and one autograph letter signed, and 3 carbon copies, 1977-1988, to American lawyer Edward Bennett Williams (1920-1988), regarding legal matters and a luncheon with Ronald Reagan. In a pair of letters from May 1982, Solzhenitsyn shares his thoughts about his invitation to dine at the White House with other Soviet dissidents. Solzhenitsyn had attempted a meeting with Gerald Ford in 1975, which Ford refused. Reagan decided to set up a meeting, but was advised that it should not be a private meeting so as not to provoke the leaders of the Soviet Union. Desiring a personal meeting, Solzhenitsyn planned to turn down the offer, but his intention was leaked to the press before he even received an invitation. Solzhenitsyn reached out to Edward Bennett Williams, who had access to the White House, to ask him to mediate on their behalf. Ultimately, Solzhenitsyn did not attend. He writes Williams on 3 May 1982: “Now we would like to ask you, if you will have such an opportunity, to explain to the President even before May 11 how his advisers have distorted his noble intentions into a foolish and even insulting joke.” He writes again on 12 May, “I was sufficiently humiliated.” A carbon copy of his letter to the President is included.
*361
Solzhenitsyn, Russian novelist and Soviet Dissident, corresponds with his lawyer. In a letter of 26 February 1977, he asks Williams to serve as Russian poet and activist Aleksandr Ginzburg. He coordinates his Will in a letter of 2 October 1981. In an ALS, 15 August 1988, Solzhenitsyn sends his condolences to Williams widow.

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.

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.

New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid. 2. RETURNING BIDDERS If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction. 3. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization
allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal. 4. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction. 5. OUR BIDDING SERVICES We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale.

(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

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
V I E W T H E C O M P L E T E C ATA L O G U E AT H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S . C O M 107
necessary, will lower the asking bid until a bid is received; and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold. 4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges.
D. AFTER THE AUCTION
1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots, we charge twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $400,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $400,001 up to and including $4,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $4,000,001. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium. 2. TAXES The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required. 3. MAKING PAYMENT (a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date. (b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name. (c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways: (i) Wire transfer. (ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed. (iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us. (d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1338 West Lake Street, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department. 4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you. 5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse. 6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion: (a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and onehalf percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due. (b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation. (c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount.
108 F I N E B O O K S & 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
(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.
4. JEWELRY (a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time. (b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report. (c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report. (d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. 5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS (a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys. (b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use. (d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap. 6. YOUR WARRANTIES You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.
F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU
(a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties. (b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale. (c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE
V I E W T H E C O M P L E T E C ATA L O G U E AT H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S . C O M 109
OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH. (d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services. (e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot. (f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.
G. OTHER TERMS
1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation. 2. RECORDINGS We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction. 3. COPYRIGHT We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein. You cannot use them without our prior written permission. We make no representation and offer no guarantee that the buyer of a lot will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights. 4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT If a court finds that any part of this agreement is invalid, illegal, or impossible to enforce, that part of the agreement will be treated as being deleted, and the rest of this agreement will not be affected. 5. TRANSFERRING YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES You may not grant a security over or transfer your rights or responsibilities under these terms unless we have given our written permission. This agreement will be binding on your successors or estate and anyone who takes over your rights and responsibilities. 6. PERSONAL INFORMATION We will hold and process your personal information in line with our privacy policy at www.hindmanauctions.com. 7. WAIVER No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy contained herein shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. 8. LAW AND DISPUTES This agreement, and any noncontractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or any other rights you may have relating to the purchase of a lot will be governed by the laws of Illinois. Before we or you start any court proceedings (except in the limited circumstances where the dispute, controversy, or claim is related to proceedings brought by someone else and this dispute could be joined to those proceedings), you and we agree to try to settle the dispute by mediation submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in Illinois. If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days from the date when mediation is initiated, then the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Illinois, and the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator shall order the production of documents only upon a showing that such documents are relevant and material to the outcome of the dispute. The arbitration shall be confidential, except to the extent necessary to enforce a judgment or where disclosure is required by law. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on all parties involved. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. This
