Paris: Gilles Beys, 1583. First edition, 4to, (224 x 147mm.), ff. [vi], 37, fine large folding map (383x288mm. to platemark), with ships, compass rose, and a sea monster, also with a folding scale, and 6 large woodcuts in the text (compass rose, prevailing winds, tides and currents, hazards, aids to direction-finding), inscription on endpaper noting the gift of Claudius Phalempin to Maximilian Noircarmius, contemporary vellum, blue morocco slipcase, the map with 4 small modern slips of paper stuck to the margin captioned “Plate VI”, “Nicolay D’Arfeville 1583”; “Collection of D. Alan Stevenson Esq.”, “J.B. & S.E.”, a few light spots, vellum slightly soiled and with small repairs to spine, lacks ties Literature: Royal Scottish Geographical Society. The Early Maps of Scotland to 1850, (Revised and enlarged, with A History of Scottish Maps by D.G. Moir), Edinburgh, 1973. (Moir’s third chapter is devoted to “Nicolas de Nicolay and Alexander Lyndsay,”; Taylor, Adams & Fortune. Alexander Lindsay, a rutter of the Scottish Seas c.1540. (National Maritime Museum Monographs 44), 1980; Moore. The historical cartography of Scotland. Aberdeen, 1991. For John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland (1504-1553), a key figure in the transmission of the principal text as well as in the political events of the period, see the entry by David Loades in the Oxford DNB. Note: Nicolay’s La Navigation du Roy d’Ecosse Jacques Cinquiesme du Nom, autour de son Royaume is an early navigational guide, the oldest Scottish “rutter” (an early sixteenth century term for a set of sailing directions, from the French routier). It is one of only a handful of such works of any origin to have come down to us, accompanied by the first accurate delineation of Scotland: created by the Scots for the purpose of containment; mysteriously obtained in manuscript by the English, copied by Nicolay and taken to the French king, then put into almost immediate use to avenge the murder of Cardinal Beaton at St. Andrews; and on two subsequent occasions with a view to supporting the Scottish succession. The voyage of James V named on the title-page is that of 1540, when the King, with several nobles, set out to subdue the unruly Lords of the Western Isles. “The King visited Orkney, Skye, Lewis, Ross and Kintail and continued by sea to Dumbarton, where he left his fleet and rode back to Edinburgh, which he reached before 29th July (when he wrote to Henry VIII that he had visited the north and south isles), while the ships returned round the north of Scotland....” Alexander Lyndsay was the pilot, and Nicolay credits him with having compiled the rutter by command of the King for the purpose. There would appear to be little doubt that this is true, as the guide, laboriously drawn from Lyndsay’s experience - and from material gathered from other sources, as the volume and geographical range of the information suggest - starts from Leith as the expedition did, gives the route which James’s fleet followed, and provides a suitable course through the Western Isles for meeting the island chiefs. In Scotland, extreme tidal conditions, a shallow seabed, and variable winds and visibility retarded the development of astronomical observations for navigation; northern pilots generally made their way by setting courses from one headland to the next, and by keeping in mind the effect of tidal streams and the risk of hidden rocks and other hazards. It required only a compass, a sand-glass, traverse-board, and a lead and line. Lyndsay’s rutter is, therefore, typical as a guide to coastal waters before detailed charts and sophisticated instruments came into use. It contains nearly 200 items of information and advice about tides, courses and havens, soundings and hazards (all but one of 150 place-names can be identified with relative certainty), and, though far from faultless, it clearly served the purpose for which it was laboriously compiled. Little is known about the work’s true originator, Alexander Lyndsay, but Nicolay is well documented. Nicolas de Nicolay (1517-1583) travelled widely throughout Europe and the Middle East, wrote several narratives of his journeys, and published De l’Art de Naviguer, translated from the Spanish. In 1544 he published a marine chart of Europe (the basis of the Ortelius map of Europe in his first atlas, 1570), a chart of America in 1554, and a map of the Boulonnais in northern France in 1558. He was appointed Géographe (or Cosmographe) du Roy in 1566. Other fees apply in addition to the hammer price: see the ‘Buyer’s Guide’ section on page 2

Nicolay relates how he acquired both the work and the map in his dedication to the Duc de Joyeuse, Admiral of France. In 1546, Lord Dudley, Admiral of England, was in Paris to ratify the peace treaty between Henry VIII of England and François of France which put an end to two years of war. Dudley, a powerful and cunning politician and military strategist, well versed in Anglo-French and Anglo-Scottish affairs, had played a crucial role in the conflict, but had established good relations with his principal antagonist d’Annebaut. Having met Nicolay, whose skills as a navigator were widely known, Dudley persuaded Nicolay to return with him to England, where he stayed about a year: “very well treated and favoured, even to the extent of having revealed to me several important matters concerning [Dudley’s] office as Admiral, among which, in order to draw me more fully into his designs, he communicated to me a little book written by hand in the Scottish language, containing the navigation of the King of Scotland...with all the outstanding particulars worthy of note in such a navigation; together with the sea chart, rather roughly made, for the instruction of all other mariners.” (Moore suggests that Dudley obtained a copy of Lyndsay’s rutter - “by foul means more probably than fair” - while he was Warden of the Scottish Marches in 1542-43, stationed at Berwick.) Dudley, presumably by design, permitted Nicolay to make a copy of this powerful little document, “avec combien de grands traveaux ce peu de papier avoit esté escrit,” and on the latter’s return to France, at the accession of Henry II, had the rutter translated into French “with the assistance of the late Maitre Jehan Ferrier, a very learned Scotsman, and having made a fair copy of it with its chart, I presented it to his Majesty, who immediately sent it to Sieur Leon Strozzi, Prior of Capua, captain general of his galleys, and he and I also went with sixteen galleys, and other forces to besiege the castle of St. Andrews.” Elsewhere Nicolay confirms that he was with this fleet to assist the Regent Arran to avenge the murder - at the hands of anti-French Protestants - of Cardinal Beaton. (The castle capitulated on 31st July 1547, and John Knox was among the defenders taken prisoner, spending eighteen months in the French galleys before his release.) Nicolay was thus given an opportunity to survey the Scottish coastline and improve upon the map he had obtained from Dudley. The rutter continued to be put to use. A manuscript version at the British Library dating from about 1559 contains a dedication to the Cardinal of Lorraine: French troops were then being sent to Scotland to support Mary of Guise, sister of the Cardinal and the widow of James V. Nicolay’s eventual publication of the work in 1583 seems again to have arisen out of the political situation. “In 1581-2 Spain and France were intriguing with Catholic nobles in Scotland - Spain being the instigator - with a view to an attack on England through Scotland. A massive naval expedition was secretly mooted” (Taylor), which would “assist in putting Mary Stuart on the throne of England.” (Moir) The “Description de l’Isle et Royaume d’Ecosse, et Iles Hebrides et Orchades,” which is followed by the “Navigation” with separate title, is accompanied by a striking and “greatly improved map of Scotland on the scale of c.21 miles to an inch...[which] gave a much better outline of Scotland than any previous map - an outline which was in fact more accurate than any later maps of the 17th century....” As Taylor and Moore separately conclude, Lyndsay’s rutter would have preceded the chart, which was possibly based on an earlier map corrected through reference to other sources including the ruttter; and, as the knowledge required for compiling a chart was essentially different from that for compiling a rutter, Lyndsay may have had little part in its fabrication. Be that as it may, its prominence in the history of Scottish cartography is well established. Moir points out that “Although the printed map is dated 1583 the author tells us that the original manuscript map was obtained by him in 1546, and so the map in its origin is earlier than Mercator’s 1546 map of the British Isles, and possibly earlier even than Lily’s map of 1546.... Nicolay’s map marks a great advance in the cartography of Scotland. Not only is the shape of Scotland shown with considerable accuracy, but it is much more accurate than the later Gordon-Blaeu map of 1654 or the Moll map of 1714.... In 1688 John Adair had a new plate of the 1583 map engraved by James Moxon for his Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland, on the ground that it was the most accurate map, and in 1734 John Cowley recorded that when preparing his own map of Scotland he found Nicolay’s map to be more exact than any other.... Accepting Nicolay’s statement that the original of his map was drawn in 1540...it is a remarkable production and shows quite an advanced skill in cartography....” (Moir omits to mention that Nicolay had opportunities to improve upon the original during the French punitive expedition of 1546.) This remarkable volume brings together many strands of interest: in the history of navigation and cartography, certainly; but perhaps more significantly it gives us an insight to the workings of diplomacy, espionage and intrigue in sixteenth century international relations.

Note: By the 18th century the Giunta edition of 1527 had achieved the state of being a highly collectable rarity and demand led to the printing of this forgery. Pasinello, who printed it for Stefano Orlandelli at the request of the English consul, Joseph Smith, did a good job of matching types and even reproducing the printer’s device, which appears on the title-page. However folios 42, 102, and 108 are correctly numbered in the 1729 forgeries, but in the true 1527 edition the numbers are incorrectly numbered 24, 101, and 168.

The first letter extols the virtues of good spelling and punctuation and the avoidance of “habitual drinking”, the second letter requests John to take the “John O’Groat” out of Leith, the third refers to a dispute between the people of Wick and the court officials of Thurso which might go to “The House of Peers”, via the “Court of Session”.

Note: Documents from the Reign of King Henry V are extremely scarce. Sir Thomas Beauchamp of Somerset, a relative of the earls of Warwick, seems to have been a somewhat turbulent character. In 1413 he was committed to the Tower of London by order of Henry V, being released on 8 February 1414 only after several prominent London citizens including “RIchard Whytington” stood surety “under a pain of 1000 marks” for his future behaviour. Beauchamp was an esquire of Edward, second Duke of York (?1373-1415) and was left an annuity of 10 marks from his inheritance in the custom Port of London and keeper of the great part at Fasterne at his death. In 1419 he and several others forcibly seized seven acres of meadow in Chaffcombe [Somerset] from John Denebaude who was in the king’s household in a long standing feud that dated back to at least 1410 but was cleared of wrongdoing

Beaton writes to his correspondent as a result of the incursions by King Henry VIII into Scotland, ‘Quia de incursionibus Ab Anglorum rege, contra sereniss[imum] et ill[ustrissi]mu[m]. Regum, Do[min]um meu[m], eiusq[u]e regnu[m], illatis ad S[anctissimum] D[ominum] N[ostrum] in p[raese]ntia scribo; ex eisdemq[ue] literis D[etermi]nationem V[estram] R[everendissimam] omnia ad plenu[m] intellecturam esse confido, nihil hoc tempore ad illa[m] scribed[m] esse putavi.

The battle took place at Solway Moss on the Anglo-Scottish border on 24th November 1542. When King Henry VIII of England broke away from the Roman Catholic Church, he asked King James V of Scotland, his nephew, to do the same. James rejected his uncle’s request and further insulted him by refusing to meet at York. As a result, King Henry VIII displayed his anger by sending troops against Scotland. In retaliation for the massive English raid into Scotland King James responded by assigning Robert, Lord Maxwell, with the task of raising an army and on 24th November 1542 an army of 15,000 - 18,000 Scots advanced into England and were met near Solway Moss by Thomas Wharton and his 3000 men. The ensuing battle was uncoordinated and has been described as a rout. Alessandro Farnese (1520-1589), Italian Cardinal and Diplomat. Letters signed by Cardinal Beaton are extremely rare. American Book Prices Current have no records of any autograph material by Beaton appearing at auction.

In the medieval period the Halmote Courts regulated matters of manorial custom and admissions to holdings, and heard actions for minor offences such as trespass, assault and debt under 40 shillings. Gradually, however, the range of matters coming before the courts contracted, and by the 17th century their business was largely confined to dealing with the surrender and admission of manorial (copyhold) tenants, according to the custom of the manor. The Halmote Courts, administered the copyhold land and the tenants thereof belonging to the Bishopric of Durham located mainly in Co. Durham but also in Northumberland and Yorkshire from about 1500 to the 20th century.

Some of the information has been previously included in biographies of Emilie Schindler, however some of Emilie’s accounts have never been in the public domain before. Emilie discusses her childhood, her relationship with her husband, her life during the Second World War and her move to Argentina, where Oskar Schindler left her in 1957 to return to Germany to sort out his financial affairs, and never returned. This collection includes important historical primary source material relating to Oskar and Emilie Schindler, and their contribution to saving so many lives during the Holocaust.

Curiously, Scott appears to have addressed the letter to Right Hon. Lady Jane Leven, 12 Melville Street, before correcting this to “Lady Jane Stuart, 12 Maitland Street”. In another hand are the words “Addio, Italian for Adieu”, possibly a reference to the fact that this was Scott’s last letter to Lady Jane who died later the same year.

If G knows a gentilman”., 1 page, 16mo, n.p. 1747

296

Note: The Young Pretender, in dangerous exile in France, often wrote in the vaguest terms. Margaret Foster, in her biography of the Prince wrote that “His fear of detection would not allow him to sign his name or date his letters. Often these missives were written in invisible ink and in disguised hands even worse than Charles’ own. The names he did sign at the end only added to the confusion for they changed with bewildering rapidity and it was like receiving anonymous letters which... were difficult to accept as trustworthy”. The Waters mentioned in the letter is Charles Edward’s Parisian banker. The reference to Vignion presumably indicates Avignon where he spent some of his time in exile. Gordon may be John Gordon, Rector of the Scots College at Paris, to whom the Prince is known to have written at various times. It may be that the reference to “ye Linnin” is in code.

298 TALBOT, CHARLES, EARL OF SHREWSBURY (1660-1718), HEAD OF ADMINISTRATION 1694-98, &

Note: A document of considerable historical interest. Sir Owen Hopton was Lieutenant of the Tower of London from 1575 until 1592 and as such was in charge of the custody of some of the most famous prisoners kept there during the reign of Elizabeth I. His period of office extended from the Ridolfi conspiracy until after the Armada. It was a task requiring vigilance and repeated consultations with the Privy Council and others in authority; and it involved, particularly in the 1580s, the supervision of examinations under torture. In the same year as this document one of those prisoners was John Somerville, cousin to William Shakespeare, who was tortured on the rack and died in custody. Two years later Hopton was implicated in the mysterious death in his custody of the Duke of Northumberland who was found in his cell with gunshot wounds to his chest. Hopton protested his innocence, citing testimonies from various Yeomen Warders - whose names appear on this document. Later in his term as Lieutenant Hopton had custody of Sir Anthony Babbington, one of the many conspirators against the Queen. Hopton was also in charge of the custody of one of the most notable of all English Catholic Martyrs, Saint John Paine. Such was his esteem in the government of Elizabethan England that Hopton was the dedicatee of George Gascoigne’s play The Glass of Government. [Purchased at Mullock’s Auctions, 15/04/2010, lot 131]

MOON, WILLIAM - MOON TYPE

STACHELSCRIFT

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SAINT JOHN

JOHANN WILHELM KLEIN PRINTING DEVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BLIND

[S.l., n.d., but between 1845 and 1890] Oblong folio, original quarter cloth over boards, spine label lacking, comprising 95 leaves with the final leaf lacking Note: William Moon was born in Kent in 1818 and suffered from scarlet fever as a child and, as a result of this, had completely lost his sight by the age of 22.

This became the most popular method of reading and writing for people who were blind until Braille overtook Moon Type in popularity.

The writer would place the paper onto a felt pad and then use the spiked letter blocks to punch holes into the paper through the slats. Unfortunately, the Stachelschrift proved rather difficult to operate.

342 DRUMMOND, CHARLES - THOMAS STURROCK & ALEXANDER AIKMAN SCOTLAND’S FIRST GREETINGS CARD & CHRISTMAS CARD: 2 PRINTING PLATES Two original metal printing plates for a New Year card and a Christmas card, produced by Charles Drummond, bookseller in Leith, Edinburgh, in 1841, each 9 x 6.5cm, with the wooden blocks renewed; [with] two proof cards, one stating ‘A GUID NEW YEAR AN’ MONY O’ THEM’, uncoloured, and the second stating ‘A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU’, coloured and with Drummond’s impression details to the lower right corner; alongside various items of ephemera relating to the cards and Charles Drummond Provenance: Charles Drummond, Bookseller and Printer, 133 Kirkgate, Leith [Edinburgh]; and thence by descent. An accompanying letter from The Scottish Council (Development and Industry) dated 11th December 1951, thanks Miss Catherine Drummond for the loan of the first greetings card printing plate. Catherine Drummond, the granddaughter of Charles Drummond, frequently wrote into local newspapers, explaining the origins of this greetings card. Several newspaper clippings are included in this lot.

342

These plates have been exhibited at several museums, including the Museum of Childhood, Edinburgh. Note: The ‘invention’ of the first commercially marketed Christmas card can be attributed to Sir Henry Cole who, in 1843, produced a Christmas greetings card showing a happily inebriated family celebrating Christmas dinner. However, two years previously, Charles Drummond of Leith produced what is thought to be Scotland’s first festive greetings card, celebrating New Year and reading ‘A GUID NEW YEAR AND MONY O’ THEM’ - the Hogmanay and New Year celebrations at the time being a bigger event in Scotland than Christmas. Drummond’s card was produced from a design by Thomas Sturrock and engraved by Alexander Aikman - in many ways, the initial idea for the card came from Sturrock, with Drummond turning this into a commercial product. Aikman’s picture shows the grinning face of a rotund boy, missing one tooth, described in a 1934 edition of the Edinburgh Evening News as having: “an expression of such hearty laughter that the happy combination, by the natural infectious process, produced the desired result on the onlooker, who was greeted with the wish of ‘many happy years”. The manufacture of the card followed a tradition which had started centuries earlier with European woodblock printers, such as Master E.S., who would produce prints with religious scenes and greetings such as Ein guot selig ior (“A good and happy year”). However, it was ahead of its time as a published product, with commercially manufactured greetings cards only really becoming popular in the United Kingdom from the 1860s onwards. Curiously, the printing plate for the New Year card is accompanied by another, following the same design, with the inscription ‘A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU’. There is little evidence that this design was commercially manufactured as a card, however it does suggest that the idea for a Christmas card may be a Scottish one, predating Cole. A proof copy of this Christmas card, alongside a proof of the New Year card, is included in this lot.

Note: The binding purports to be one of the famous Sienese Tavolette di Biccherna, which were produced for accounts from the 13th to the 17th century. The Biccherna was the magistrate or chancellery of Finance from the 13th to the 18th century for the republic, and then city, of Siena. The early wooden boards for the account volumes were simple and had no intention of being masterpieces. Subsequently, however, the paintings became more elaborate and rich. By his own admission, Joni never visited the city archives to inspect the originals, and his bindings are in fact anachronistic. From 1459 the accounts were bound in leather, and the tavolettes, although still painted, had evolved to become paintings framed for hanging. Joni’s bindings, however, all bear dates after 1459; the present example, for instance, is dated 1479-1480. Note too that Joni’s boards are simply glued onto a rough leather spine as he apparently did not know how to replicate a fifteenth-century sewing structure.

115 Note: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who Played with Fire and The Girl who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest, known as The Millennium Trilogy, presented in a spectacular and unique binding. Alison Strachan, the binding director at Sangorski & Sutcliffe / Shepherd’s, has commented on the special design of the binding: “...There was... a strong impression in my mind of Lisbet’s physical appearance, which was echoed in the violence in her character as well as that shown against her by male characters in the book. The studs were a manifestation of this male/female theme and the sado-masochism of some of the male characters. The way the studs each fit into the cover of the next book, was a symbol of how the protagonists work together, their close relationship... the hand-tooled designs of each front cover were designed to echo the images of the titles and the tattoos that cover Lisbet...”

BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY OF KINGCAUSIE Kingcausie sits to the South-West of Aberdeen, overlooking the banks of the River Dee. Originating in the 16th century, the house is situated on lands once part of the property of the Knights Templar in Scotland, and has undergone several renovations, including a series of baronial extensions by the Scottish architect, David Bryce, in the 1850s. The estate has been in the ownership of the Irvine family, later the Irvine-Fortescues, for over four centuries, with the library collected over generations of the family. At the end of the 18th century, the estate was inherited by Anne Irvine Boswell and her husband, Claud Irvine Boswell of Balmuto: James Boswell’s close cousin. The literary connection can be seen in ownership inscriptions in several of the books in the library.

Collecting interest in the library includes finely bound Bibles, natural history and the sciences. Of particular interest is a copy of Thomson’s System of Chemistry in its original boards, and an unusually complete copy of James Hodgson’s System of Mathematics. However, an appetite for travel is especially evident, with subjects ranging from Australia and New Zealand to Tibet and South America. The highlight of the collection is undoubtedly a copy of James Dixon’s Narrative of a Voyage to New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Land, published in 1822. Copies in original boards complete with frontispiece and advertisement leaves are exceedingly rare. The library of generations of gentlemen, and women, the following fifty-six lots offer an insight into a Scottish literary family’s interests and passions.

CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR BUYERS (UK) These Conditions of Sale and the Saleroom Notices as well as specific Catalogue terms, set out the terms on which we offer the Lots listed in this Catalogue for sale. By registering to bid and/or by bidding at auction You agree to these terms, we recommend that You read them carefully before doing so. You will find a list of definitions and a glossary at the end providing explanations for the meanings of the words and expressions used. Special terms may be used in Catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms, etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the Catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. In these Conditions the words “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd, the singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. “You”, “Your” means the Buyer. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller.

A. BEFORE THE SALE 1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS

Whilst we seek to describe Lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each Lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a Lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or Estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the Auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the Lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the Lot. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. 2. O UR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS

We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the

extent provided below. (a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred. 3. WITHDRAWAL

Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw. 4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS

(a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological

19.2 report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report. (iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. (b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given.

(d) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale Catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the Lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300. (e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

Neither the Auctioneer nor our employees nor agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we Reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. Bids must be expressed in the currency of the saleroom. The Auctioneer will take reasonable steps to carry out written bids at the lowest possible price, taking into account the Reserve.

D. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY

This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.

E. WARRANTIES

1. THE PURCHASE PRICE

1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES

For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £300,000, plus 20% from £300,001 thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the Hammer Price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction. Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above.

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 Sellers is not the owner of or a joint owner of the Lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the Lot, or the right to do so in law, and; (b) Had the right to transfer ownership of the Lot to the Buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either other above warranties are incorrect, the Seller shall not have to pay more than the Purchase Price (as defined in the glossary) 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 expense. The Seller gives no warranty in relation to any Lot 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 obligations upon the Seller which may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded.

2. VALUE ADDED TAX

Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant Lots. (a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (b) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

2. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE

We guarantee that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each Lot in this Catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the

150 Catalogue description of the Lot, as amended by oral or written saleroom notes or announcements. We make no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the Catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below. In the event we, in our reasonable opinion, deem that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the Lot the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the Lot by the original purchaser. This Guarantee does not apply if: (a) The Catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the Catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (b) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the Lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the Lot; or (c) There has been no material loss in value of the Lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading. This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the Lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party.

We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the Lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of Lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the Lot. We shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the Lot, and Reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the

refund of the original Purchase Price paid (the successful Hammer Price, plus the Buyer’s Premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. Lyon & Turnbull and the Seller shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest. 3. YOUR WARRANTIES

(b) Where You are bidding on behalf of another person You warrant that: (i) You have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate Buyer(s) of the Lot(s) in accordance with all relevant anti-money laundering legislation, consent to us relying on this due diligence, and You will retain for a period of not less than five years the documentation evidencing the due diligence. You will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by a 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, and; (iii) You do not know, and have no reason to suspect that the funds used for settlement are connected with the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate Buyer(s) are under investigation or have been charged with or convicted of money-laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.
