Letter From the CEO It cannot be denied; guilty pleasures have been a bit of a saving grace during a year that just 13 months ago none of us could have imagined possible. But pandemic life has dulled the double-edge of indulgence, and therefore, in the name of comfort, I may have enjoyed an oyster po’boy or two, or 10; bought a few more shoes – not exactly required for Zoom meetings in my home office; and watched television.

Not just watched, but binge watched, snuggled-in with my sweet husband, Fayez, for hours on end.

Recently, we relented to all the recommendations and tuned into “Bridgerton.” The Netflix series, one of the most viewed in the provider’s history, is like the Harlequin Romances of old tempered with the wry wit and elegance of Jane Austen’s prose, and it is unapologetically enjoyable escapism.

However, what I notice most simmering under the steamy plotlines is the regal beauty of England’s Regency era.

From 1795 to 1837, the period is based on the regency of King George IV, and is one of my favorite eras of fashion, architecture and art and furnishings. While Bridgerton may be an aspirational fantasy, the gorgeous settings and furniture, saturated in lush colors, can be an aspirational reality. During New Orleans Auction Galleries’ March Estate Auction - Saturday, March 27 and Sunday, March 28 - we are pleased to feature many examples of the latter two categories.

The Estate of Penny and Garland Cupp: Penny and Garland Cupp were longtime clients of NOAG, and we are honored to have the opportunity to offer their estate. The collection includes a stunning selection of fine English antiques that could easily be a backdrop to any of my Bridgeton’s fantasy setting. The Cupp’s discerning eye and commitment to seeking out the best-of-the-best is obvious; aside from the beautiful period paintings (including the one featured on our cover) and silver, one of the “crown jewels” of the collection is an exceptional 18th century George III bookcase that stands over 100” tall and 116” wide.

The Estate of Carol Austin Straus: We are also offering stunning Regency antiques from a more unusual source: The Estate of Carol Austin Straus. Carol and her husband, Robert D. Straus, were early modernists in Houston and legendary collectors, but amongst mid-century furniture and abstract expressionist paintings were Regency period antiques. While the antiques were acquired prior to the modernist pieces, the neoclassical sensibility and clean lines fit perfectly. Many legendary interior designers and collectors mix classical with contemporary as so much of modernism is rooted in classical motifs and designs. We will also be offering paintings and furniture from the Straus collection in our upcoming April 11 Modern + Contemporary Art & Design Sale.

Jewelry: In true Bridgerton-style, the sale would not be complete without a dazzling selection of jewelry fit for a princess, from yellow diamonds to sapphires and emeralds. For the gentlemen, we are pleased to feature a vintage gold Patek Philippe wristwatch from the Cupp Estate.

While we cannot bring you bring you Daphne Bridgerton, Viscount Bridgerton or the Duke of Hasting, we can light up your fantasies with 1,018 lots, including jewelry, art and furnishings from the Regency era, and before and after. On March 15, we open for exhibition by appointment, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., daily, or you can view the entire catalogue online.

Until then, I hope you find and enjoy some escapism of your own. But if you can, I recommend skipping the guilt, and going straight for the pleasure!

THE E STATE OF

Joyce "Penny" and B. Garland Cupp E d m o n d , o k l a h o m a & j e s u p, g e o r g i a New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to present the Estate of Joyce "Penny" and B. Garland Cupp, which includes fine English antiques, paintings, jewelry and decorative arts.

Joyce “Penny” Lenell Cupp was born in Rayville, Louisiana and later moved to Spearman, Texas. After graduating high school in Texas in 1960, Penny returned to Louisiana to attend Northeast Louisiana University with a major in speech therapy. She was a member of Phi Mu and continued her involvement with the sorority as National Chair and President of the House Corporation for the Epsilon Nu Chapter at Oklahoma State University. Penny became a flight attendant for Delta Airlines, a decision that would change her life as it was during this time that she met her husband, Garland.

Penny and Garland were married for 51 years.

B. Garland Cupp was born in Mangum, Texas, a small town west of Dallas. Cupp’s remarkable work ethic drove his successes in business; he started his first job at only 11 years old. Garland studied at West Texas University in Canyon, Texas and then attended

Washington University in St. Louis. Cupp later attended the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School and graduated with an MBA in 1984.

Beyond his formal schooling, Cupp also taught himself computer programming.

Penny and Garland married and relocated to St. Louis in 1963. Garland spotted a job listing for computer programmers from McDonnell Aircraft Corporation (which became McDonnell Douglas following a 1967 merger and then The Boeing Company in 1997) while attending the Oklahoma vs. Texas football game earlier that year. He applied and was offered a position. Penny also worked at McDonnell for several years, but after her daughter was born in 1973, she left her position to focus on her family.

Garland joined American Express in 1978. By his retirement in 1995 at age 55, he achieved the position of Executive Vice President and CIO of the Travel Related Services Division. The Travel Related Services Division was the largest business unit at the time and was responsible for handling credit card transactions.

THE E STATE Of joyce "Penny " and b. garl and cupp (continued)

A 1989 article in Computerworld noted that with Cupp at the helm of TRS, the department generated 32% of the firm’s $23 billion revenue and, even more remarkably, 70% of its $1.04 billion in profits. In 1988 alone, Cupp’s division processed transactions for 30.7 million credit cards. Cupp’s computer programming and business background made him the perfect fit for the rapidly growing world of credit card processing.

Part of TRS’s role was to ensure that the volume needs were met in terms of CPU capacity, which included distributing processors throughout the American Express global network. The logistical and technical challenges of creating a global processing network in the context of 1980s infrastructure were immense, but Cupp’s knowledge and forward-thinking vision undoubtedly contributed to solidifying American Express as a global powerhouse.

Garland’s successes in business allowed for the couple to travel extensively and pursue their shared interest for collecting art and antiques. The Cupps settled in Edmond, Oklahoma after Garland’s retirement. When Garland suggested to Penny that they build her “dream house”, Penny immediately thought of Crane Cottage on Jekyll Island, Georgia for the project’s inspiration. After attending a family wedding at Crane Cottage, Penny

was enamored by the grand architecture and beautifully appointed interiors of the historic property. The couple hired Hornbeek Blatt Architects of Edmond, Oklahoma to design the house and worked with Georgia-based decorator Alex Bridges on the interior design.

While the Cupp’s house in Edmond did not have quite as many rooms (Crane Cottage boasts an impressive 21 bedrooms!), it took three years to complete and included a stunning courtyard, as well as many meticulously selected elements such as cobblestone sourced from South Carolina and staircase fittings bought in England.

Perhaps even more impressive than the house itself were the couple’s collection of antiques and fine art that filled the house. For both Penny and Garland, collecting was something that brought them immense joy; the couple also happened to have discerning eyes.

The Cupp’s collection includes an outstanding selection of fine Regency and Georgian furniture; a mix of 19thand 20th-century American, English and European paintings; English and American silver; and Asian arts.

Penny and Garland were auction enthusiasts, but also acquired items from Royal Street in New Orleans and on trips abroad.

THE E STATE OF

Thomas Eugene "Tommy" Long hat tie sburg, mississippi Thomas “Tommy” Long was born and raised in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He studied commercial art and design at The University of Southern Mississippi before moving to New Orleans to begin his career.

Tommy, along with friend and mentor Irving Eisenberg, opened La Cuisine Classique, the first gourmet kitchen shop in the city and a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. Located on Royal Street in the French Quarter, La Cuisine Classique was renowned for its selection of high-end cooking and baking accessories. Long owned and operated the shop for 31 years before retiring.

Tommy returned to Hattiesburg after retiring. He is remembered for his remarkable taste and ability to “make pretty”, skills that undoubtedly helped make the shop into a memorable destination. Tommy was also an accomplished pianist and organ player, an avid gardener and beloved host of countless dinner parties. He enjoyed collecting and decorating – a reflection of his love of the arts and his eye for beauty.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer a handsome selection of antique furniture, lighting, carpets and decorative objects from the Estate of Tommy Long.

The Winston Collection of Newcomb Pottery new orleans, louisiana The Winston Collection of Newcomb pottery (Lots 863-873) spans three generations and is rooted in the history of the Newcomb College. Mrs. Winston's father-in-law, Dr. James E. Winston, was a Professor of History at the College from 1919 until his retirement in 1939, and an avid supporter and collector of student and faculty pottery. Many of the early high-glaze pieces were gifted to Winston, like the jug from fellow colleague Mary Sheerer, Professor of Newcomb Pottery, or purchased at the College's annual Christmas pottery sale. Under Winston's son J. Barbee and his wife Margaret, the collection grew to include additional rare pieces, like the large pine tree vase Margaret purchased while riding her bike in the French Quarter in the 1950s, and later matte-glaze works. Various pieces of the Collection have been exhibited over the years, most notably, several pieces, selected for their diversity and scope, were chosen to represent the centennial anniversary of Newcomb College. Organized by Tulane University, in conjunction with the College, and the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, 200 pieces of Newcomb pottery were exhibited in New York, Washington, D.C., and six other major cities before returning home to Newcomb in March 1987 where the exhibit closed.

45 Attributed to Jean-Baptiste Greuze (French, 1725-1805) “Thais” oil on canvas unsigned.

Framed.

16-1/8” x 13”, framed 22-1/4” x 18-3/4” Provenance: Collection of Dr. and Mrs. John “Jack” Morgan Barron III, Memphis, Tennessee.

Literature: This painting has been examined firsthand by Dr. Yuriko Jackall, Greuze specialist and Curator of French Paintings at the Wallace Collection, who suggests that it was made in Greuze’s studio, perhaps with his participation. $5,000-$8,000 A genre and portrait painter of prodigious innate talent, Greuze was born into a proletarian family; his father was a roofer/tiler.

At a young age, he was apprenticed to a successful Lyonnais portrait painter, Charles Grandon, who eventually took him to Paris. In Paris, Greuze was accepted into the prestigious Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, studying under the rococo master Charles Joseph Natoire. Greuze soon gained the support of Louis de Silvestre, then Director of the Academie. In 1755 he was named an associate member of the Academie through whose auspice Greuze travelled to Italy under the patronage of Abbe Louis Gougenot. Upon his return, Greuze’s submissions to the Paris Salon were met with increasing admiration. The young artist, however, had a streak of stubbornness and a vanity that created tension between him and the Salon. One of the requirements for formal acceptance into the Salon was the submission of the “morceau de reception”, a representative work of the artist which was used to evaluate his placement within the Academie. Greuze refused. Finally, in 1769, under threat of being blocked from exhibiting, he submitted “Septimus Severus and Caracalla”his attempt at a grand historicizing scene. It was a resounding failure, and the judges declared Greuze a genre painter, then considered the “lowest” style. Furious, Greuze refused to take part in any future exhibitions, only showing his work in his studio; he did not exhibit at the Salon again until 1800. While this had a disastrous effect on his Academic reputation, art collectors were amused by his arrogance and patrons flocked to his studio, making Greuze one of the most sought-after genre and portrait painters.

One such favored genre and recurring subject in Greuze’s work was the young penitent and/or the penitent Magdalene, in which young women with loose curls are depicted in prayer or in heavenly reflection with eyes gazing upward in contrition.

This particular composition was painted at least three times by ca. 1779: Two compositions with slight variations in position, dress and color were offered at Christie’s, Paris ( June 24, 2004, as lot 130), and by Rafael Valls in London gallery. A third work nearly identical to the one offered here, but in oval form, was owned by the guillotined notary Charles Nicolas Duclos-Dufresnoy, who loaned it in 1785 for the commission of the Charles Levasseur engraving titled “Thais ou La Belle Penitente”.

Yuriko Jackall, Curator of French Paintings at the Wallace Foundation, examined this work firsthand and believes it to definitely be the studio and quite possibly an attribution of Greuze, as she cannot rule out the assistance of the artist’s hand. Alastair Laing, Curator of Pictures and Sculpture for the National Trust, following an examination of the painting by photographs, has expressed a strong hypothesis that not only is the work by the hand of the artist, an affirmative attribution, but it may also be identified as lot 21 in the posthumous sale of Duclos-Dufresnoy, August 18-21, 1795 that was sold alongside the Christie’s painting (identified as lot 26), and was formerly and falsely identified as the Vall painting in 2005.

Laing stipulates that the description and measurements match on all points, but two- the fichu (scarf) in the catalogue entry is described as white, not brown, and the measurements are slightly larger. The pre-Revolutionary pouce, generally recognized as 1.066 in., recorded lot 21 as lot 14 pouce by 11 pouce, 6 ligne (~.0888 in.) bringing the painting measurements to ~14.92 in. x 12.25 in. The new canvas and stretchers on which the painting is relined are slightly larger than the painting itself with the lining visible along the side edges and bottom edge that is painted over with a ruddy brown wash. The actual measurement of the painting is 15.125 in. x 12.25 in. Under UV light examination, the scarf has been heavily overpainted with brown pigment and blended into the hair. The repairs account for the two discrepancies in the Declos-Dufresnoy description, begging the question and further research inquiry: was this one of the many Greuze paintings owned by the executed royalist, was it lot 21 or an autograph replica as Greuze was known to repeat himself, as is evidenced with the Rafael Valls painting- a reduced version of the Christie’s painting (Duclos-Dufresnoy, lot 26) and partner to the Thaïs offered here?

(His wife, Elizabeth Holder, is the “little girl” to whom Jane Austen referred in her October 1813 letter commenting - rather uncharitably - on the death of John Hooper Holder’s first wife and his marriage to his second, Anne Ekins: “Only think of Mrs. Holder’s being dead! Poor woman, she has done the only thing in the world she could possibly do to make one cease to abuse her. . . . Lucky for the little girl. An Anne Ekins can hardly be so unfit for the care of a child as a Mrs. Holder.”)

Fildes was one of the most acclaimed social realist artists of 19th-century Britain. His paternal grandmother, Mary Fildes, who eventually adopted him and financially supported his artistic training and schooling, was a well-respected social reformer associated with the Chartist Movement. Fildes shared many of his grandmother’s views and he saw art as an opportunity to raise the general public’s awareness of the plight of their fellow citizens. He attended Warrington School of Art and the South Kensington Art School, before gaining entrance to the Royal Academy School.

One of his first jobs was as a permanent staff illustrator for The Graphic, a weekly publication known for its social reform stance. He also produced illustrations for other journals of the time, including Cornhill Magazine and the Gentleman’s Magazine. He soon gave up illustrative work to concentrate on painting, creating a series of works exploring the various difficulties faced by the British working class.

In 1887, a trip to Italy exposed him to the American expatriate artists, including James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent. The resulting contemporary Venetian portraits, of which the painting offered here is an exemplary model, were extremely popular and many, including this one, were made into widely produced lithographs. Here, the relatively somber figure, rendered in delicately applied brushstrokes of thin layers of subdued hues, is juxtaposed with the riotous color that forms the bundles of fresh flowers created in thick impasto which encircle her. In a technique cleverly cribbed from his years as an illustrator in stark black and white, Fildes has the figure emerging from a nebulous darkness which acts as a foil for the creams and blushes of her skin. While these paintings were true to the tenets of social realism - he was depicting the actual Venetian working class in situ - they also had an aesthetically pleasing quality that was not evident in his earlier work.

As a result, Fildes found himself a desired portrait painter, and by his death in 1927, he was considered one of the best society portraitists.

Fildes was named an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1879, made a full Academician in 1887, Knighted in 1906, and appointed a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 1918.

Tussie Mussies

Small, hand-held containers were used in medieval times to carry fragrant herbs and spices to ward off the “bad air” thought to be the cause of disease (hence “malaria”). Although ineffective against illness, the pleasant aromas from these containers helped greatly to allay the unpleasant odors of the streets in the days of horse transport and before modern sanitation systems. By the Victorian era, herbs and spices had given way to small, sweet-smelling floral bouquets or “tussies”, the stems of which were wrapped in moss to keep them moist, giving rise to the name “tussie mussie”. These containers, also known as porte-bouquets, bouquetiers, posey or nosegay holders, were an essential part of ladies’ walking-dress fashion and came in a wide variety of designs and materials. Many had turned motherof-pearl, hardstone or wooden handles to hold the flowers directly under the nose if necessary, some had chained pins to hold the tussies in place, still others had a chained ring to go on a finger or a pin to clip to a bodice or waistband, freeing the hands for counting change, disembarking carriages or such.

Framed.

29-5/8” x 52-1/2”, framed 39” x 69-3/4” $4,000-$7,000 Jakob Bogdani, a native of Presov, Hungary, moved to Amsterdam in 1684 where he was trained in the Dutch Golden Age tradition of the masters Melchior de Hondecoeter (16361695) and Willem van Aelst (1627-1683) - who specialized in still lifes with wild game and flowers. In 1688 Bogdani traveled to London, where he would remain for the rest of his life, seeking employment first with William III, Prince of Orange, before being appointed court painter to Queen Anne. Under the tutelage of the court, Bogdani achieved great success, earning commissions from some of the most esteemed aristocrats, such as Queen Mary II and Admiral George Churchill, brother of the Duke of Marlborough. Churchill, one of his chief patrons, owned the famous aviary at Windsor Park, affording Bogdani ample access to the many exotic birds he depicted like the cockatoo in the painting offered here.

Bogdani’s superb still lifes typically featured the imported goods of London’s rich maritime trade; foreign species of birds and flowers crowded his paintings with white and scarlet highlights in the plume and foliage accentuated by dark backgrounds. Examples of his work are conserved in the Royal Collection and Fitzwilliam Museum in London and in Magyar Nemzeti Galeria in Budapest.

Framed.

12-3/4” x 10”, framed 18-1/4” x 15-1/2” $1,000-$1,500 According to both the 1969 and 1983 online catalogue raisonne’s published on the artist, Chardin is recognized as having painted at least three versions of the “Pourvoyeuse” - referred to as “Return from Market” in English. In 1742, Bernard Lepicie produced an etching of the work, from which a few other copies are known as they exhibit the same reversal of the image as the print. The composition of this work suggests that it was either copied from one of the editions Chardin painted or by another period painted copy. Access to the artist, work(s), and well-executed composition and glazing technique is indicative of an artist, perhaps pupil, working within the circle of the artist.

Josephine’s brother Andre Bienvenue Roman was a two-term governor of Louisiana. Aime acquired the Roman’s French Colonial plantation house and in the 1830’s expanded and modernized it to create le Petit Versailles. The Aime’s had four children. The two girls were gifted plantations as a wedding gift. Felicite Emma Aime (1823-1905) married her second cousin, Alexandre Septime Fortier (1816-1898), son of Louis Edmond Fortier (1784-1849) and Felicite Labranche (17871859). They resided at Felicity Plantation. Anna Fortier, their eldest daughter, never married. The present commode along with a walnut half-tester bed and a portrait of Josephine Aime, daughter of Valcour, by Jacques Amans were reputedly found in her basement and given to her nephew Pierre Ganucheau.

Literature: The present somnoe/commode is one of a handful of Louisiana cases in this form to survive. One is illustrated in Early Louisiana Furniture; another, now in a private Louisiana collection, was sold at Leland Little Auction, North Carolina, July 2017. In a 1980 correspondence with Gloria Ganucheau, the late Pat Bacot, co-author of Furnishing Louisiana Creole and Acadian Furniture 1735-1835, and then a curator at LSU’s Anglo-American museum of Art, indicated “Your commode joins a body of three surviving ones that I know of”. It is unclear if he was aware of the one that later sold in North Carolina.

The bubbles and holes in the Alisee cross adorning the top is indicative of sulfur inlay (sulfur is the Biblican “brimstone”).

The sulfur was poured into a shaped recess in its molten state.

Sulphur melts at about 240 degrees. When the hot sulfur hits the wood, evaporation of remaining water in the underlying wood causes the release of water vapor. That creates the characteristic pitting found on sulphur inlay. This technique has been employed in a small but significant number of pieces of furniture in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. Heretofore, sulfur has not been found in any known pieces of Louisiana or lower Mississippi Valley furniture. That it may have been employed in the deep South independent of the Mid-Atlantic cabinet-making tradition is quite likely. Pipe fitters frequently employed molten sulfur to join iron waste pipes and water pipes in the same fashion lead was used.

Masons also used molten sulfur to set iron handrails into masonry. In addition, decorative sulfur molds were produced and used by candy makers.

875 “Course of the River Mississipi [sic], from the Balise to Fort Chartres...” map by Lieutenant John Ross of the 34th Regiment, engraved and published with hand-colored outlines by Robert Sayer and John Bennett, London, 1775.

Matted, glazed and framed. plate 45” x 14”, framed 55” x 25-1/4” Provenance: Sold in these rooms as part of the map collection of Hugo Wedemeyer, New Orleans, Louisiana, March 17, 2018, lot 952; Private collection, Alabama. $2,000-$4,000 This map was the first official English survey of the lower Mississippi region, published at the outset of the American Revolution in Thomas Jefferys’ watershed American Atlas

by Sayer and Bennett. It was commissioned by the British government in 1765 to illustrate the scope of the economical and strategical gains it acquired in the French and Indian War. Lieutenant John Ross, a distinguished member of the 34th Regiment of Foot, who served in the siege of Havana and garrison of West Florida, charted the lower Mississippi River from the mouth of the Mississippi (Fort Belise) just south of New Orleans north to Fort Chartres, just south of St. Louis.

Ross’ map depicts the River’s course in excellent detail with comprehensive information on boundaries, forts, villages, arable lands and cane fields, as well as navigational data on the depths and soundings of the Mississippi and Gulf for approaching ships. To date, it is one of the most important maps of the late 18th century in terms of cartography and American colonial history.

884 Jean Joseph Vaudechamp (French, 1790-1866; Active New Orleans 1831-1839) “Portrait of a Young Woman, Partially Draped” oil on canvas signed and dated “Vaudechamp 1844”.

Framed.

36-3/4” x 29”, framed 45” x 38” $30,000-$50,000

This portrayal of a partially nude woman with her self-assured gaze is a rare glimpse into Jean Joseph Vaudechamp’s later career, painted two years before his only other known nude, “Portrait of a Young Girl, Partially Clothed”. Both paintings reveal Vaudechamp’s masterful modeling of the human form, his elegant composition, and use of soft light dappling the sitter’s body. A French academically trained artist and a pupil of the famous Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson, Vaudechamp became the most sought-after portraitist in New Orleans during the 1830s, where he spent his winters painting members of the prominent Creole families. His success in New Orleans appears to have provided him with financial security, and although he continued to exhibit at the Salon, this brought him little critical acclaim. The two nudes are a departure from his usual subject matter, suggesting that perhaps he was experimenting with different genres in his later years. This evocative portrait is the first nude by the artist to have been offered for sale outside of Paris.

Provenance: By repute, presented to Dr. Henry F. Quackenbos (1820-1888) following the death of Doughty, New York, New York; J. Hedden, 1865+; thence by descent. $4,000-$7,000 Born into a Philadelphia family and apprenticed at a young age to a leather smith, Thomas Doughty was largely self-taught, debuting as a landscape painter in 1816 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

An early pioneer in the American landscape tradition, Doughty adapted the English style he learned through copying paintings in the collection of his Baltimore patron, Robert Gilmor, Jr., into a distinctly American genre - the conservative and subdued palette, and masses of indistinguishable foliage characteristic of English landscapes were transformed under Doughty into contemplative vignettes drawn from outdoor sketches of New England rivers and mountains. The study of nature created a comparative realism unique to the American experience that revitalized interest in the landscape painting and laid the foundation for the Hudson River School’s epic canvases drawn from light and infused with Romantic grandeur. This fine sketch, believed to be the last work by the artist, freely executed with somber clouds and sable grounds, belies the sublime skies to come.

978

A native of Denmark, Jacobsen was born into a musical family; his father was a well-respected violin maker with his own workshop.

He attended the prestigious Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Upon completion of his studies, Jacobsen emigrated to the United States, settling along the New Jersey shore. Initially supporting himself as a professional musician, Jacobsen began to sketch the boats in nearby New York harbor in his free time. This led to commissions from ship captains, and by 1876 he was listed as an artist in the New York City Directory.

Admired for his painstaking attention to detail, he soon became one of the most sought-after and well-known maritime artists of the region; his main competition was his neighbor and friend James E. Buttersworth.

The ship depicted in the painting offered here, the SS Zeeland, was a joint British and Belgian ocean liner of the Red Star Line built

by John Brown and Co., Glasgow. For most of its service it ran the Antwerp-New York route. During WW I the name was temporarily changed to the less German sounding SS Northland; it was eventually changed back. The ship was removed from service in 1929, and was scrapped the following year.

James E. Butterworth lots 979 - 982

One of the most acclaimed maritime artists of the 19th century, James E. Buttersworth was born in England.

Little is known of his earliest years (genealogical information regarding the Buttersworth family is scant and often conflicting) though it is believed he was the son or grandson of the painter Thomas Buttersworth, with whom he received his artistic training. In the 1840s, the younger Buttersworth relocated with his family - then consisting of his wife and three children - to the shores of New Jersey, within view of New York Harbor. His paintings caught the attention of famed American lithographers Currier and Ives, and several popular prints were made of Buttersworth’s ship portraits. The artist began to make a name for himself in his newly adopted country, and he soon opened his own studio.

A prolific artist, Buttersworth was lauded for his meticulously detailed depictions of the various sea-faring vessels of the day. His paintings, with their straightforward yet highly effective “side-view” composition, reveal tightly controlled and concise brushstrokes, an intentionally restrained color palette, and close attention to the specific characteristics of the ship; the intricacies of the rigging, the placement of the masts and sails, and the construction of the hull and how it “sits” upon the water, creating veritable maritime portraits.

Considered a maritime historian as well as an artist, Buttersworth’s paintings are in numerous collections, including Mariner’s Museum, Newport News, Virginia; U.S. Naval Academy Museum, Annapolis, Maryland; Bath Marine Museum, Maine; Peabody Museum, Salem, Massachusetts; and Mystic Seaport Museum, Connecticut.

Conditions of Sale: ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. PLEASE SEE SECTION 2(a) BELOW IN WHICH ANY AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS) ARE WAIVED.

1. Introduction (a). These Conditions of Sale (“Conditions of Sale”) contain all the terms governing Auctions (defined below) conducted by Cakebread Art Antiques Collectables, Inc. d/b/a New Orleans Auction Galleries (“NOAG”), and all the terms under which NOAG and the Seller (defined below) of a Lot (defined below) contract with the Buyer (defined below).

These Conditions of Sale may be amended by posted notices or oral announcements made during the Auction. (b). Under these Conditions of Sale, the following capitalized terms are defined as follows: • An “Auction” is a public auction conducted by NOAG, at which Bidders may place Bids to purchase one or more Lots offered for sale by NOAG. An Auction takes place over one or more days and includes separate auctions of one or more Lots within an event conducted by NOAG; • The “Auctioneer” is the auctioneer calling the Auction conducted by NOAG; A “Bid” is a bid made by a party at the Auction to purchase a Lot; • A “Bidder” is (i) a person making a Bid at the Auction (whether in person, through an absentee bid, through electronic or internet means, or through telephone bidding); and/or (ii) a person who attends the Auction and registers to make a Bid (whether in person, through an absentee bid, through electronic or internet means, or through telephone bidding); • A “Buyer” is the party that commits to purchase a Lot by submitting the Winning Bid at Auction; • “Buyer’s Premium” is defined in Section 4 below; • “Catalogue” is the Auction catalogue utilized by NOAG to list the Lots offered at Auction; • The “Estimates” are the high and low estimates of value for each Lot set forth in the Catalogue presented by NOAG in connection with the Auction or otherwise set forth and/or announced at the Auction; • The “Hammer Price” for a Lot is the amount of the Winning Bid at the Auction, as announced by the Auctioneer, exclusive of commissions, Buyer’s Premium, expenses, and any taxes or other charges; • A “Lot” is specific item of property offered for sale at Auction; The “Reserve” is defined in Section 3 below; • The “Purchase Price” is defined in Section 4 below; A “Sale” of a Lot occurs when a Winning Bid is declared at Auction for the Lot; • The “Seller” of a Lot is the party who consigned the Lot with NOAG for purposes of selling the Lot, or is otherwise the seller of the Lot; • The “Winning Bid” is, as to a particular Lot, the Bid recognized by the Auctioneer as the highest and best Bid for that Lot.

(c). Except as otherwise stated, NOAG acts as consignment agent for the Seller. The contract for the sale of the Lot is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer. (d). By bidding at the Auction as a Bidder or Buyer, and/or by your signature below, you agree to be bound by these terms.

2. Before the Auction (a). ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. (i) NEITHER NOAG NOR THE SELLER PROVIDES ANY GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY AS TO THE NATURE, DESCRIPTION, GENUINENESS, PROVENANCE, IMPORTANCE, OR CONDITION OF THE LOT. All Sales and Auctions are without any representation or warranty of any kind by NOAG or the Seller. Bidders and Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the Lots and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry, the Condition Report, or in any other statement or writing provided. All Sales are final and are “AS IS WHERE IS.” (ii) No warranty of redhibition. ANY WARANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty against redhibitory defects, including without limitation: (x) any defects rendering a Lot useless or its use inconvenient; and (y) any defects diminishing the usefulness of a Lot; and any such warranties are waived and excluded. In addition, NOAG and Seller provide no warranties, guarantees, or representations as to whether a Lot is fit for its ordinary use, fit for Buyer’s intended use or for Buyer’s particular purpose. (iii) No warranty against eviction. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST EVICTION IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. In the event that Buyer is evicted from possession of whole or part of the Lot, neither NOAG nor Seller have any duty whatsoever to return any part of the Purchase Price to Buyer. Buyer is buying at Buyer’s sole risk and peril as to third parties who may claim rights in the Lot after the Sale. (iv) No warranty as to authorship. NOAG does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship of works of art and fine art. No statement in the Catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED. (v) No warranty of peaceful possession, etc. The following warranties are waived and excluded: the absence of hidden defects, peaceful possession, and ownership. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty that the Lot is free from hidden defects, or for peaceful possession, or for ownership. (vi) No other warranties. None of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, give any representation, warranty or guarantee 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 express or implied warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this Section 2(a). (b). Examination of property / Condition Reports. Prospective Buyers and Bidders are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the Auction takes place. As a convenience, Bidders may request that NOAG produce a Condition Report (“Condition Report”) for a Lot, which, if produced, will provide additional detail concerning the condition of the Lot as observed

by NOAG’s staff. NOAG reserves the right to decline to produce a Condition Report for any specific Lot, for any reason and in NOAG’s sole discretion.

Rev. 01/04/17

(c). Catalogue and other descriptions. (i) All statements made by NOAG as to condition, authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, or historical relevance, whether in the Catalogue entry for the Lot, in the Condition Report, and/ or in a bill of sale, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are qualified statements of opinion only and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by NOAG of any kind. References in the Catalogue entry or the Condition Report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. (ii) Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any Lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. (iii) Any Estimates provided should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Any written or oral appraisal, Estimate or other statement of NOAG or our representatives with respect to the estimated or expected selling price of any Lot of Property is a statement of opinion only and shall not be relied upon by Bidders or prospective Bidders as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price. (iv) NOAG shall not be liable for any errors or omissions in catalogue or other descriptions of the Property. Neither NOAG nor the Seller is responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue, or any supplemental material. (d). Further acknowledgement. As a Bidder and prospective Buyer, you further agree and acknowledge that: (i) You are not relying on NOAG’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any Lot; (ii) No oral or written statements in the Auction Catalogue, Condition Report, or elsewhere are the cause of or reason behind your purchase of any Lot; and you would have incurred such purchase regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (iii) NOAG did not and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why you decide to purchase any Lot; (iv) Your purchase of any Lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (v) NOAG did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a Lot in the catalogue, Condition Report or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to a Buyer.

3. At the Auction (a). Registration before bidding / Bidding requirements. In order to be accepted as a Bidder and allowed to place a Bid, all Bidders must meet all of the following requirements: (i) A Bidder must complete and sign the attached registration form and provide identification to NOAG; (ii) NOAG may require the production of bank or other financial references or any other additional information; (iii) When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the Purchase Price in full in the event that the Bidder submits the Winning Bid, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with NOAG before the auction of the Lot that the Bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to NOAG, and that NOAG will only look to that principal for payment (iv) All Bids are to be made in U.S. currency unless agreed upon between NOAG and the Bidder; and (v) At NOAG’s sole discretion, NOAG may require any Bidder to post a cash deposit in an amount set by NOAG at its sole discretion. Such deposit may include, without limitation, a deposit of 25% of the Maximum Bid (or another amount set in NOAG’s sole discretion) in the case of Absentee Bids (defined below). (b). Refusal of admission / Rejection of Bidders. NOAG has the right, at its complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any Auction. NOAG reserves the right to reject any Bidder for any reason whatsoever and in NOAG’s sole discretion. (c). Absentee bids / Telephone bids. (i) As a convenience to Bidders, NOAG may allow a Bidder to submit an absentee bid (“Absentee Bid”) or telephone bid (“Telephone Bid”) by filling out (in full) the section of the attached registration form marked “Absentee Bids / Telephone Bids.” In order to submit an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid for an Auction, that registration form must be filled out and submitted to NOAG no later than 5:00 p.m. central time on the last business day before the commencement of the Auction. (NOAG reserves the right to accept late Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid submissions in NOAG’s sole discretion.)

All Absentee Bid submissions must include a maximum bid amount (“Maximum Bid”). (ii) If an Absentee Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, the Auctioneer or other NOAG staff will place the Absentee Bid at the amount of the opening bid amount, and will increase the amount as necessary until the earlier of (x) the Absentee Bid is the Winning Bid; or (y) the amount reaches the Maximum Bid. All such actions in this paragraph are at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer and/ or NOAG. If NOAG receives Absentee Bids on a particular Lot with identical Maximum Bid amounts, and at the Auction these are the highest bids on the Lot, the Lot will be sold to the person whose Absentee Bid was received and accepted first. In the event of a tie bid between an Absentee Bid and a Bid submitted by a Bidder physically present at the Auction (or a Telephone Bid), the Lot will be sold to physically present Bidder (or bidder submitting the Telephone Bid).

Rev. 01/04/17

(iii) If a Telephone Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, NOAG staff shall attempt to contact the Bidder using the telephone number provided. If successfully contacted, the Bidder shall then be afforded the opportunity to place a Bid on the Lot by telephone. Telephone Bids may be recorded. By submitting a Telephone Bid, the Bidder consents to the recording of the conversation and the placing of the Bid. (iv) Execution of Absentee Bids and Telephone Bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the Auction and neither NOAG nor the Auctioneer shall have any liability for failing to execute an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid or for errors and omissions in connection therewith. (d). Video or digital images. At some Auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image and we do not accept liability for such errors. NOAG reserves the right to video tape and record proceedings at any Auctions. Any personal information obtained will be held in confidence by NOAG but may be used or shared with our affiliates and marketing partners for customer analysis purposes and to help us to tailor our services to buyer requirements. Any Bidder attending an Auction in person who does not wish to be video-taped may make arrangements to make a Telephone Bid in accordance with Section 3(c) above. (e). Reserves. All Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the “Reserve”). The Reserve for a Lot will not exceed the low Estimate for that Lot. The Auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The Auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lot may be sold at a Hammer Price below the Reserve, at the discretion of the Auctioneer and NOAG, in any manner consistent with the agreement between NOAG and the Seller. (f). No bidding by Seller. Under no circumstances shall Seller (as agent or principal), whether by itself or through its representatives, employees or agents (except as through the Auctioneer as set forth in Section 3(e) above), enter or cause to be entered a Bid on Seller’s Lot. (g). Auctioneer’s discretion. The Auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, and in the event of any error or dispute, to determine the Winning Bid, to continue the bidding, to cancel the Sale or to reoffer and resell the Lot or item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the Sale, NOAG’s sale record is conclusive. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of Sale, all Bids are per Lot as numbered in the Catalogue and no Lot shall be divided for Sale. NOAG and/or the Auctioneer may withdraw any Lot at any time before such Lot is offered at Auction, for any reason and in their sole and absolute discretion. (h). Successful bid and passing of risk. The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the Winning Bid and the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer marks the acceptance of the highest and best bid as the Winning Bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the Lot but not its title passes to the Buyer immediately upon announcement of the Winning Bid at the Auction. (i). Post-auction sale. In the event that there is no Winning Bid at Auction for a Lot, or the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction, or the Sale is cancelled for non-payment pursuant to Section 4(g) below, NOAG may sell the Lot at public or private sale at any time thereafter, in a manner consistent with the agreement between Seller and NOAG. (j). NOAG assumes no responsibility for failure to execute Bids for any reason whatsoever.

4. After the Auction (a). In order to consummate and complete the Sale, the Buyer must tender payment in full of all of the following amounts (all such amounts together being the “Purchase Price”) to NOAG: (i) the Hammer Price; and (ii) the “Buyer’s Premium” consisting of a premium of 25% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 22% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer [subject to a $30 fee for domestic wires and a $60 fee for international wires] by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction - note that there is no discount for LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable bidders) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 10% of the amount by which the Lot’s Hammer Price exceeds $200,000; and (iii) Any applicable Louisiana, state, local, and federal or other taxes, calculated as required by law. Any documentation of tax exemption must be provided by the Bidder contemporaneously with the execution of the attached registration form. (b). Payment and passing of title. The Buyer and any other Bidders are responsible for contacting NOAG for Auction results during the week after the conclusion of the Auction. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(i) below which may require earlier payment, the Buyer must pay the full Purchase Price no later than 4:30 pm central time on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction.

Payments may be submitted during business hours to: New Orleans Auction Galleries, 333 St. Joseph Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, Telephone number: 504-566-1849. Payments may be made by certified check, cash, wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express). Payments will be accepted by non-certified check only in NOAG’s sole discretion, from Buyers that have been qualified by NOAG in NOAG’s sole discretion. Title to the Lot does not pass to the Buyer until the full amount of the Purchase Price has been tendered and received by NOAG in good cleared funds, even in circumstances where the Lot has been released to the Buyer. (c). Credit Cards. Your signature on this form constitutes permission to charge the full amount of the Purchase Price on your credit card, if you are the Buyer on a Lot and payment is not received within five business days of the close of the Auction. Your signature on this form also constitutes permission to charge the full amount of Storage Charges (defined below), if and when accrued, on a periodic basis on your credit card. (d). Release of Lot to Buyer. No Lot will be released to the Buyer unless and until NOAG receives full payment of the Purchase Price, and such payment has cleared and NOAG has received confirmation of all funds owed. At its sole discretion, NOAG may release a specific Lot at any time, notwithstanding the foregoing provision.

In addition, NOAG may require that Lots not be released until the Buyer has cleared additional checks in NOAG’s sole discretion, including without limitation, any anti-money laundering or antiterrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction. In the event that a Buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction, NOAG shall be entitled to cancel the Sale and take any other action permitted or required under applicable law. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lots cannot be released until after the conclusion of the Auction. (e). Export/Import license and Dealers. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license or any delay in obtaining licenses shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making bill payment for the Lot; and shall not limit or alter any of the obligations of the Buyer herein. Dealers purchasing for resale must enter appropriate their Dealer Resale Number on the attached registration form and provide NOAG with proper documentation.

Rev. 01/04/17

(f). Storage charge. Subject to the foregoing provisions, any Lot that is not picked up by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction is subject to an additional storage charge of $5.00 per Lot per day (“Storage Charge”) for as long as the Lot is stored at NOAG’s facilities. The outstanding amount of this Storage Charge must be paid in full (in addition to the Purchase Price) before such Lot will be released to the Buyer. Such Storage Charge accrues on a daily basis and is billed monthly. All items handled or stored will be at the Buyer’s risk. NOAG is not liable for any damage to Lots after the conclusion of the Auction. (g). Remedies for non-payment. If the Buyer fails to make payment in full of the Purchase Price in good cleared funds within the time required

by Section 4(b) above, or payment in full of any applicable Storage Charge when incurred, NOAG shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available by law): (i) to charge outstanding amounts to the Buyer’s credit card; (ii) to charge interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (but not to exceed the highest amount chargeable under applicable law); (iii) to hold the Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (iv) to exercise any other remedy or remedies available under the law, including but not limited to a second sale of said item in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, including the subsequent enforcement of any deficiency against the initial buyer; (v) to cancel the sale; (vi) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we shall think fit; (vii) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer; (viii) to set off against any amounts which NOAG may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer; (ix) where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to NOAG, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs; (x) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer before accepting any Bids; (xi) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security and/or privilege over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted under Louisiana law (including without limitation under La. Civil Code art. 3247, La. R.S. 10:7-209 and 10:7-210 and other applicable law), or (xii) to take such other action as NOAG deems necessary or appropriate. In connection with the item (xi) above, the Buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to NOAG and NOAG may retain the affected Lot and any property of the Buyer as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to NOAG and to the Seller

If we resell the property under Section 4(g)(vi) above, the Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (vii) above, the Buyer acknowledges that NOAG shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount. (h). Shipping and packing. All shipping, packing, and transportation of Lots from NOAG’s facilities is the responsibility of Buyer. NOAG may, as a courtesy, assist Buyer with necessary arrangements, but by doing so, NOAG assumes no responsibility or liability for shipping, packing, moving, or transportation, including without limitation damage to Lots, damage to Buyer’s vehicle, or any personal injury of any persons involved. (i). Earlier payment may be required. For any specific Lot, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b) above, NOAG may require, in its sole discretion, that the Hammer Price for the Lot be paid immediately upon the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer and announcement of the Winning Bid, with the balance of the Purchase Price being due by the close of the Auction.

5.Copyright The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for NOAG relating to a Lot including without limitation the contents of the Catalogue, is and shall remain at all times the property of NOAG and shall not be used by the Buyer or Bidder, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent. NOAG and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a Lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.

6. Severability If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. Data Collection In connection with the operation of our auction business, NOAG may need to seek personal information from Bidders or obtain information about Bidders from third parties (e.g., credit checks from banks). Such information will be processed and kept by us in confidence. Some of Bidders’ personal data may also need to be shared with third party service providers (e.g., shipping or storage companies) for Bidders’ benefit. By participating in an Auction, you agree to all previously stated disclosure.

8. Law and Jurisdiction The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the Auction and any matters connected with any of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Louisiana. By bidding at the Auction and/or through execution of the attached registration form, the Bidder consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Louisiana and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the Eastern District of Louisiana.
