Letter From the Assistant Director of Auctions

From our country’s inception, election years have always been important milestones and periods of reflection in America. This year is no exception, in part, because it marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which guaranteed and protected women’s right to vote. As we approach our country’s 59th presidential election, I can’t think of a better time to reflect on, recognize and celebrate the immense contributions of women in politics throughout American history, both in the spotlight and behind the scenes.

Just like Abigail Adams, B.A. wasn’t merely supporting her husband’s ambitions or following his lead; she truly believed in Lloyd’s platform because it was very much her own. As you flip through the catalogue, you’ll see a trove of political memorabilia and documents, examples of her work and the recognition she received, including a telegram from Robert Kennedy giving advance notice of his plans to run against Johnson in 1968 and a letter from Vice President and Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey thanking her for her support in the election (both included in lot 823).

The list of influential female voices in politics is endless, but many of the most important voices never formally held a political office. One example is Abigail Adams, the wife of President John Adams and also his most trusted advisor and confidante. Opponents went as far as to call her “Mrs. President” – while meant to be an attack on her husband, it underscores her influential role.

The auction will also offer fine art, furniture, carpets, lighting and much more. We invite you to make an appointment to preview the sale during our two-week exhibition beginning Monday, September 14. If you are unable to make it to the gallery, we are always happy to provide extra photos or answer any questions you may have about any item in the sale.

When John Adams was called upon to serve on the Continental Congress to help draft the Declaration of Independence, she wrote him in March 1776 to, “Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.” She went on to say, “If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.”

I hope you’ll join me in reflecting on the impact of B.A. and so many other influential women in politics as we all exercise our right to vote this November. And, in Abigail Adam’s words, “remember the ladies” as we observe the centennial of the 19th Amendment, because she knew that every voice counts.

NOAG is proud to offer the estate of another dynamic political duo in our September 26-27 Estates Auction: The Honorable Lloyd and Beryl Ann “B.A.” Bentsen. Lloyd’s political career was impressive (he was a U.S. representative, four-term senator, vice presidential nominee and secretary of the Treasury); however, you can’t tell the story of Lloyd’s career without recognizing B.A.’s immense contributions.

Best,

Taylor Eichenwald Assistant Director of Auctions

T H E E S TAT E O F

The Honorable Lloyd and Beryl Ann "B.A." Bentsen Lloyd and Beryl Ann “B.A.” Bentsen, beloved Texans and treasured fixtures in Washington’s political and social milieus, lived a remarkable life together. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bentsen were brilliant, hard-working and dedicated to improving the world around them. Never one to fade into the background, B.A. Bentsen was a driving force behind Lloyd’s political success—the couple was a dynamic team whose shared passion and grit earned them immense respect. B.A.’s partnership was certainly not lost on Lloyd; he even playfully explained that B.A.’s initials really stood for “Best Asset”.

The Honorable Lloyd M. Bentsen, Jr. By any measure, Lloyd Miller Bentsen, Jr. led an extraordinary life of accomplishment, but the roles which best reflect his devotion to public service include World War II bomber pilot, a United States Congressman (1947-1955), a four-term United States Senator (1971-1993), a Vice-Presidential nominee (1988) and Secretary of the Treasury (1993-1994). During his long career in public office, Mr. Bentsen was involved in many important legislative battles. Those close to him described him as, “a man of courage, wisdom and civility.” The Bentsen family’s Texas roots run deep—Lloyd Bentsen, Sr. moved to Texas with his brother after World War I. Following successes in large-scale land development, he became involved with ranching, oil and banking. Lloyd, Jr. was born February 11, 1921 in Mission, Texas. He grew up on The Arrowhead Ranch, one of the biggest ranches in the Rio Grande Valley. Soon after receiving a law degree from the University of Texas, Lloyd enlisted in the Army in 1942 and became a commissioned officer in the Army Air Forces. B.A. and Lloyd married before he departed for Europe in 1943. While serving in World War II as a B-24 pilot, Bentsen flew 35 missions including bombing the infamous Ploesti oil refinery and also missions in support of American troops in Italy. He received several recognitions for his service, including the Distinguished Flying Cross, and left the Army with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. After returning to Texas, Lloyd was elected as Hidalgo County Judge in 1946. Just two years later, he was elected to the House of Representatives as the then-youngest member of Congress at age 27. After serving in Congress for six years, Lloyd left public service to enter the private sector. In 1955, he founded the Consolidated American Life Insurance Company (Calico), and eventually expanded to other businesses. Lincoln Consolidated became the holding company for a diverse portfolio of business ventures and, as noted by The New York Times, “was one of the first [companies] in Texas to use data processing technology.” Mr. Bentsen’s business successes earned him admiration and positions on numerous boards including Continental Oil and Lockheed Corporation. In 1970, Bentsen decided to re-enter politics. He defeated incumbent Ralph W. Yarborough in the Democratic primary for Senate, then beat George H. W. Bush, a Congressman at the time, in the general election. After two years in the Senate, Bentsen was selected to serve on the powerful Finance Committee, where he passed the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), securing the pensions for

millions of American workers. Bentsen continued to serve as an influential and highly respected voice in the Senate for three more terms, ultimately becoming the Chairman of the Finance Committee. During his tenure in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, he promoted fiscal responsibility and free trade, supported civil rights and protected children and older Americans. While already nationally recognized as a Senator, Bentsen became a household name in 1988 when Michael Dukakis, the Democratic nominee for President, selected him as his running mate. Bentsen’s decades in public service and bipartisan respect undoubtedly led to his appointment as Secretary of the Treasury in 1993 under President Bill Clinton. As Secretary of the Treasury, he worked to bring greater opportunity and prosperity to the country. Bentsen was granted the great honor of being awarded the prestigious United States Medal of Freedom in 1999 as acknowledgment of his decades of service.

Beryl Ann “B.A.” Bentsen Beryl Ann “B.A.” Longino was born February 4, 1922 in Lufkin, Texas. Tragically, B.A. experienced hardship early in her life— she was orphaned at the age of twelve and raised by her aunt. After graduating from Lufkin High School at 16, she went on to study at the University of Texas at Austin, and then moved to New York City to work at the renowned Harry Conover Modeling Agency. Lloyd Bentsen had met B.A. while they were both at the University of Texas, and reintroduced himself while she was living at the Barbizon Hotel for Women in New York. After six dates, the two were married. She lived with Lloyd’s family in McAllen, Texas until he returned from serving in Europe. Throughout Lloyd’s decades-long political career, B.A. not only provided him with unwavering support, but also played a crucial role in his successes; she championed Lloyd’s causes because they were also her own. Moreover, a formidable woman, she raised three children amidst her and Lloyd’s busy schedules, travelling back and forth between Washington, D.C. and Texas and setting up “house” 28 times in 30 years. She even served as the National Democratic Committee Woman from Texas at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. When B.A. returned to Houston in 1994 and settled into the next chapter of her and Lloyd’s post-Washington life, her expertise and business acumen were highly sought after. She served on the boards of the Houston Symphony, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and the YMCA. She also served on the boards of Criterion Capital of Houston, Transamerica Funds of San Francisco, and their successor, John Hancock Mutual Funds of Boston.

The Honorable Lloyd and Beryl Ann "B.A." Bentsen ABOUT THE COLLECTION The papers of the Honorable Lloyd Bentsen, Jr. are conserved at the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin. His family retained some of his personal letters and photographs, however, many of which are offered in this sale. Included are signed photographs of Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr., and, of course, Clinton. Bentsen’s prized photo, however, was of his political mentor, Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn, also to be offered. A scrapbook of Bentsen’s early years (with signed letters from Harry Truman, Bess Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Sam Rayburn, Estes Kefauver, J. Edgar Hoover, and Supreme Court Justices Tom Clark and Fred Vinson) is sadly water-damaged but still a veritable treasure trove of Bentsen’s numerous accomplishments during his years in the House of Representatives. In the 1960s, having temporarily left politics to build his insurance business, B.A. Bentsen became the family presence in Democratic politics, and her papers from this time reflect this: invitation to prayer services before Lyndon Johnson’s 1965 inaugural, a telegram from Robert Kennedy giving her advance notice that he plans to run against Johnson in 1968 and a letter from Vice President and Democratic Nominee Hubert Humphrey thanking her for her support in the election. Most touching among these is doubtless a letter dated four days after the assassination of President Kennedy from Mrs. Bentsen’s close friend Lady Bird Johnson: “it seems an eternity ago since I heard your sweet voice, B.A., only five days ago”. Another close Texas friend was Barbara Bush, who found her husband running for President against B.A.’s husband as Vice President in 1988. (“I will not campaign against you with any joy,” Mrs. Bush wrote, while Lady Bird Johnson offered “those three plus years in the Vice Presidency were one of the happiest times of my life.”) That campaign provided the single moment for which Lloyd Bentsen is best remembered, his blistering retort to Dan Quayle during the Vice Presidential debate: “Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.” This sale will offer the evidence of that famous riposte: Bentsen’s personal autographed copy of Kennedy’s Profiles in Courage.

Bentsen’s Vice-Presidential bid, however, was but one year in his decades of service as Congressman, Senator and Treasury Secretary. His personal papers include signed letters and books from First Ladies Lady Bird Johnson, Betty Ford, Rosalyn Carter, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton (including a signed photograph of all six), Senators Bob Dole, Al Gore and Daniel Patrick Moynahan, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Texas notables Ann Richards, Nellie Connally, Henry E. Catto and James A. Baker III. His tenure as Secretary of the Treasury is represented by several signed letters and photos of President Clinton, correspondence and honors from Mexico from his NAFTA negotiations, framed bills with his signature, and farewell gifts and honors upon his retirement from public service in 1994. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer not only this important collection of political memorabilia and ephemera, but also fine art, silver, antiques and more from The Estate of Lloyd and Beryl Ann Bentsen.

44 detail

The short-lived silversmithing firm of Terfloth and Kuchler was active in New Orleans from 1859 to 1861, the partnership of German immigrants Bernard Terfloth (1829-aft. 1905) and Christopf Christian Kuchler (1820-1894), at 115 Customhouse (now Iberville, between Bourbon and Royal). Terfloth was evidently trained as a jeweler, and Kuchler became a master goldsmith in his native Hesse in 1846. Their work was of the highest quality, but the business quickly dissolved. Terfloth would spend the Civil War as a supplier of sabres, canteens and straps to the Confederate Army, and later took out several mechanical patents (not the least of which was a propelling system for the New Orleans streetcars). Kuchler spent the war in San Francisco, briefly returning to New Orleans in 1867 before going back overseas to Germany. He returned to New Orleans by 1870, though, working first in a brief partnership with silversmith August Jansen (1834-1898) before joining the firm of Constant H. Zimmerman (1838-1875) as the foreman of Zimmerman’s small silver manufactory. Kuchler returned permanently to his native Hesse in 1873, however, where he became a manufacturer of sewing machines; and died there in 1894. Terfloth traveled the United States after the war, living briefly in Colorado and Idaho and returning occasionally to New Orleans (no doubt to the exasperation of his estranged wife, Elizabeth Karbon (ca. 1839-1918)). He was in Manhattan in 1900 and finally appears in the 1905 Watervliet, New York census, age 77, as an “inventor”; he was very possibly associated with the nearby Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. After that, however, he drops from the record entirely and his ultimate fate is unknown.

T h e W o rt e n d y k e S e r v i c e This magnificent set was made around 1852 by John Hoit Woodward (1812-1891) & Charles Grosjean (ca. 1819-1865), who were among a handful suppliers of fine silver to Tiffany & Co. before the Civil War. (One of these suppliers, John C. Moore would become the exclusive supplier around 1860 and go on to create Tiffany's in-house manufactory). Woodward was a native of Massachusetts and Grosjean of Bavaria, Germany, and their output was a successful blending of New England forms and exuberant German decoration.

45 Important 19th-Century Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver Tea Set third quarter 19th century, by Grosjean & Woodward for Tiffany & Co., New York, New York, including: a coffeepot, h. 11-1/4”, l. 9-3/4”; a teapot, h. 9-3/4”, l. 9-1/4”; a covered sugar bowl, h. 8”, w. 7-1/2”; a cream jug, h. 7-1/4”, l. 5-1/2”; a waste bowl, h. 4-3/4”, dia. 6”, each with a pear-shaped body decorated with textured wavy basket pattern, with shield-mounted oval cabochons, raised on a circular foot with rope-twist edge, the pots with gooseneck spout and arched handle en suite, the domed lids with coronal finials, together with an unmarked silverplate tray with gadrooned edge and handles, the plateau with wide engraved arabesque band, 30” x 20”, each piece monogrammed “CARW”. 128.12 total t. oz. (excluding silverplate tray)

The original owners of the set were Cornelius R. Wortendyke (1812-1877) and his wife Ann Berdan (1812-1879). Wortendyke was a wealthy ice merchant, and both he and his wife were scions of old Bergen county New Jersey families. The couple were married in the Greenwich Dutch Reformed Church in New York City on February 15, 1832. They had two daughters, Margaret Wortendyke (1832-1884) and Rachel A. Wortendyke (18351870), and divided their time between their houses in New York and Bergen county. Given the date, it is likely that this set was a twentieth wedding anniversary commemorative piece for the family. A short time later, in 1858, Wortendyke commissioned portraits of the entire family from Brooklyn artist James C. Platt. (See next lot.) Rachel Wortendyke married commission merchant James Anderson (ca 1838-1903) on February 11, 1867, in Bergen county. Sadly, in the next decade she would lose her sister, father and mother and inherit all of the family property, including the tea set and portraits. They have descended among the family to the present; the portrait of Cornelieus R. and Ann Berdan Wortendyke remain in private hands.

Provenance: Cornelius R. Wortendyke and & wife, Ann Berdan Wortendyke; to their daughter Rachel A. Wortendyke (Mrs. James Anderson); to their son Cornelius Woertendyke Anderson; to his daughter Margaret Anderson (Mrs. Eugene Franklin Emmons) thence by descent in the family to the consignor. $10,000-$15,000

James C. Platt was born on October 6, 1818, on Staten Island, New York, though nothing is known of his early life and education. He may well be the James C. Platt whom ship manifests show visiting England in 1844, but he is most certainly the "J.C. Platt, pupil of Mr. Huntington, the celebrated painter of New York" who advertised the opening of his studio in the Franklin Building in the Brooklyn Evening Star of October 30, 1850. He was listed as an active member of the Brooklyn Art Untion Gallery from 1851 and as an exhibitor at the Brooklyn, New York and New York City National Academy of Design 1852-1856. He advertised his portraits in New York newspapers and art magazines thoughout the 1850s, moving his studio to 599 Broadway in New York by 1860. He had returned to Brooklyn by the 1870s, and his works became quite popular, with sales of his works at Cole & Murphy in December 1870, the Brooklyn Art Association in March 1872, and the Institute Studios in April 1873. A notice in the June 7, 1876 Brooklyn Union noted that Platt "is one of the oldest artists in the city, in point of long residence, as his studio at No. 394 State street near Bond. He has a number of paintings just completed, or on the easel, among them a number of panel pictures in oil and several water-color studies . . . An upright panel painting of the celebrated Delaware Water Gap in autumn shows a good deal of bright warm color in the landscape, which contrasts well with the blue of the sky, which is flecked with fleecy clouds. Among the water colors were . . two cabinet pictures [of] Catskill Creek and Kauterskill Cove." It was doubtless, however, portraits such as the present lot for which he was most celebrated. His portrait of George Washington Dixon (1808-1861) is in the National Portrait Gallery. Platt died on Christmas Eve 1882, and is buried in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.

Ambrose Lanfear Norrie (1857-1910) was a wealthy New York businessman, having discovered iron ore in the Upper Michigan Peninsula in 1882. His paternal grandfather, Adam Norrie (1796-1882), was a Scots-American iron merchant who had trained in Sweden, and his father was Gordon Norrie (1830-1909), also an iron merchant. His mother, Emily Frances Lanfear (1836-1917) was born in New Orleans, and he was named after her father, Ambrose Lanfear (ca. 17871869), another Anglo-American iron merchant, who served as Swedish Norwegian Consul in New Orleans and later became a sugar planter in St. Charles Parish. Gordon Norrie and Emily Frances Lanfear were married in New Orleans on April 11, 1855, joining the two wealthy iron empires; they would have six children, all of whom would become prominent members of New York society during the Gilded Age. This extravagant pair of ewers is exemplary of those glittering days; it was presented by A. Lanfear Norrie to his parents in 1905 on their golden wedding anniversary at their home in New London, Connecticut.

Knapp’s legacy persists through the six generations through which this portrait has passed; his scions-mariners, newspaper magnates and philanthropists- were equally formative to the militia and culture of America. Captain Anthony Knapp was a direct descendent of the first settlers of Watertown, Massachussetts, later settling Essex County and the Connecticut Colony that came over from England in 1630 with Sir Richard Saltonstall. His ancestors were all seamen following in the same exploratory path. His great grandfather, Isaac, a shipwright, served in the Quebec Expedition with the New England militia, sailing with the fleet of 700 at the Battle of Port Royal under Sir William Philips. His service was rewarded by land grants in the Canada township, and his grandfather died in the French-Indian War in the famous battle of St. Louisbourg which ended French colonialism in the Canadian Atlantic. Knapp’s father, uncle William and great uncle Anthony served in the American Revolution. William commanded the New Hampshire brigantine Pallas in 1779, and Anthony, a lieutenant on the Massachusetts privateer Dalton, was captured by the British in 1777 and imprisoned in Mill Prison in England. Following his release the elder Capt. Anthony was joined at sea by the younger until his death in 1792. As the fine accoutrements of the dapper Capt. Knapp illustrate, he was a figurehead in the mercantile trade of the Louisiana Purchase, privateering through both Spanish and French rule. He was boarded by the English; he was a victim of pirateering; he courageously defended cargos and ports during maritime warfare. He later served in the War of 1812, and was severely wounded by a musket ball in the defense of Fort Eerie against the British in 1814. From 1794-1804, the young Capt. Knapp appears throughout shipping news as an accomplished captain, commanding Caribbean-bound schooners, brigantines, frigates and armed barques from Massachussets ports to Cuba, Curacao, Martinique and Trinidad with return sojourns through

New Orleans- the largest port of the South that spearheaded the cotton and sugar exports of the New World to Europe. In New Orleans, Capt. Knapp would have encountered the merchant shipper Abraham Kortright Brasher, Captain Samuel Lewis, and the epoynmous Major-General James Wilkinson (later 1st Governor of Louisiana), all three of whom had their portraits painted by Salazar in the two years preceeding this work. Through these contemporaries, Capt. Knapp likely commissioned his portrait after two maritime victories in early 1800: the capture of nine barges and four hundred prisoners from the Haitian revolutionary Andre Rigaud in the War of the South; and a gunfire battle in which looting privateers were thwarted from pirating several sloops Knapp escorted en route to Boston back from Trinidad. Captain Knapp’s portrait by Salazar, the most prominent portraitist in the city, was a statement; it was a debut into the “who’s who” of the maritime port of New Orleans. The imposing scale rendered in a classic roundel, the direct gaze and “Napoleonic” hand-in-waistcoat (gesture of leadership) is further showcased by Knapp’s dress. The fine silk pin-striped waistcoat with dazzling herringbone weft, the embroidered silk bowtie with neckcloth, and the subtle, yet not so subtle, gold knop of his pocket-watch, firmly establish Knapp within the caliber of Salazar’s other eminent sitters in government and military. The importance was not lost on his progeny. Four of Knapp’s sons were naval captains, his son Humphrey through which this portrait passed was a shipping merchant whose daughter Louisa was one of the most prominent philanthropists of Philadelphia. She and her daughter Mary, who founded the Curtis Institute of Music, loaned the painting of Capt. Anthony Knapp to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of Newbury, Massachusetts, which their son/grandson would loan again nearly a century later to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This rare portrait, a true testament of history, affords a rare glimpse into both Colonial Creole maritime trade and the genealogy of stalwart Founding Fathers.

“I need not extol John McDonnell’s catering. He is too well known in that particular to make it at all necessary. From the opening of the old St. Charles Hotel, in New Orleans, his early connection with Pass Christian, the City Hotel, in Natchez, to his present admirable restaurant in Common street (no. 147), he has ever proved himself a most excellent and bountiful provider of everything good to eat and drink.” --“Letter from the Lakefront”, Special Correspondence, Ocean Springs, Miss., June 8, 1856 As the caption above states, the sitter of this portrait, John McDonnell, was the ultimate hotelier/restauranteur, the consummate host, well regarded for the luxury resorts he established. In 1837 McDonnell married Henrietta Tarascon Gilly (see lot 63) and launched the famous St. Charles Hotel, one of the first great hotels in the United States that preceded the Astor. A. Oakley Hall, later Mayor of New York City, hailed the hotel- “a palace of creature comforts; a college for the study of human nature, and an exchange for money and appetite” on par with an “exchange in London” or a “Palace in St. Petersburg.” Both McDonnell’s daughters Cora Ann and Alice (1840-1848), pictured in lot 62 with their mother, were born in the hotel, and resided there at the time they sat for their portrait by Harding- a probable guest of the St. Charles. The Carrollton Hotel in New Orleans on the waterfront at the terminus of the St. Charles rail line and the New Brighton Hotel in Pass Christian followed with equal accolades.

According to reviews, the former was situated on a four acres garden with a racetrack, at which dinner was prepared nightly after the races. Additional resorts were established along the Gulf and Mississippi River in Ocean Springs and Natchez, and a final restaurant, McDonnells. In 1858 McDonnell was joined by his sonin-law, Cora’s husband Morris McGraw, who operated the Pass Christian Hotel. Morris and Cora had eight children. Following the Civil War in which McGraw served as a Private in the 5th Louisiana Infantry, he left the hotel business and established a woodenware business on Gravier Street until his death in 1903. His daughter Cora Law, named after his Mother, had the paintings preserved and exhibited at the Louisiana State Museum. Her niece Lucy McGraw Collins, who inherited the portraits, was a philanthropist; she established the New Orleans chapter of the American Women’s Voluntary Services and served on the board of Charity Hospital. The McDonnell portraits and Clendinen portraits in lots 64-65 descended in the same family through the Collins/Thomas marriage when Lucy McGraw Collins’ son Frederick Collins II (1921-1967) married Josephine Thomas Collins Watkins (19241992). Collins Watkins’ maternal grandmother was a Catchings and the great-granddaughter of the Clendinens in lot 64-65. In 1975, she and her daughters are listed as the owners of these portraits by the Colonial Dames’ Louisiana Portraits text.

64 Southern School/South Carolina (First Quarter 18th Century) “Portrait of Robert Clendinen (1784-1830), of Yorkville, South Carolina”, ca. 1820-1825 oil on canvas unsigned.

Clendinen died prematurely in 1830, and was later characterized by fellow lawyer and judge Belton O'Neal: "He received from nature much quickness of intellect and sound judgment, which by judicious application in youth he had made most effective instruments to his success…He was the kind and indulgent protector of the younger members of the bar, specially of those who unfortunately had their opportunity circumscribed by poverty and the absence of influential patronage…Had he lived, he might have risen to the highest dignities of the state”

65 Southern School/South Carolina (First Half 18th Century) “Portrait of Mrs. Mary Ellen Clendinen Hemingway, nee Myers (1802-1843), of South Carolina”, ca. 1825-1835 oil on canvas unsigned. Framed. 35” x 31”, framed 42-3/4” x 38” Provenance: With the sitters, to their daughter Nancy Clendinen Catchings (1821- 1891); to her son General Thomas Clendinen Catchings (1847-1898); to his son Oliver Whitehead Catchings (1873-1916); to his daughter Josephine Elizabeth Catchings Thomas (1900-1988); to her daughter Josephine Elizabeth Thomas Collins Watkins (1924-1992); to her son Frederick Hunter Collins III (b. 1949). Literature: Mrs. Thomas Nelson Carter Bruns, Louisiana Portraits, New Orleans, National Society of the Colonial Dames of America, 1975, p. 60. $1,000-$1,500 Mary Ellen Myers was born at Fort Marion Plantation in 1802, into a socially prominent, wealthy, and political South Carolina family. Her father, David Myers, was a Colonel in the War of 1812, and was involved in the state legislature. Her mother, Phalby Mills, was from a family with Loyalist leanings; her father had sided with the English in the Revolutionary War, ultimately attaining the commission of a

Major in the British Army. After narrowly avoiding capture, he astutely forged alliances with the emerging local government. Both maternal and paternal sides of the family owned numerous plantations in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Mississippi. What little is known about Mary Ellen reveals a woman of abundant charm and grace, and of a decidedly artistic nature. Described as a great beauty with dark auburn tresses and flashing black eyes, she was also well-educated and received a surprisingly comprehensive education for a young lady of her time. She attended the Morovian School of Salem (now Salem Academy/College), only the second school of higher education for girls founded in the country. While at the Academy she studied drawing and several examples of her fine watercolor work was preserved by her family for generations. One of the most endearing anecdotes concerning Mary Ellen is that she danced with General Lafayette at a ball in Columbia during his whirlwind 1825/6 tour of the states-while wearing white satin slippers adorned with the Generalís hand-painted portrait! Considering what we know of her and her artistic pursuits, one wonders if the portraits were by her own hand. Several years after the death of her first husband, Mary Ellen wed Dr. William Hemmingway and the couple relocated to Fleetwood, one of her familyís plantations in Hind's County, Mississippi. Fleetwood was known for its impressive and impeccably maintained gardens and grounds; bequeathed to her daughter, it was eventually sold to the brother of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and was ultimately burned to the ground by Federal troops. Mary Ellen died in 1843, while travelling between two of her Mississippi properties and was interred in a local cemetery. In 1893, her grandson had her remains relocated to a family cemetery.

To give you of my best was my object.” 73

101 Peter Caledon Cameron (British, 1852-1934) “Niagara Falls in Winter”, 1885 oil on canvas signed and dated lower left. Framed. 11-3/4” x 29-3/4”, framed 21” x 38” Provenance: Hulbert Harrington (H. H.) Warner, Rochester, New York, 1885, purchased from the artist; Sotheby’s, New York, May 19, 2004, lot 64. Literature: When the painting sold at Sotheby’s in 2004, it was accompanied by a transcription of correspondence between the artist and his patron E. H. Thompson. $8,000-$12,000

Peter Caledon Cameron, an eccentric perfectionist known for fastidious detail, eerie photo realist lighting, and lengthy records detailing the topographical and meteorological conditions under which he worked, has been overlooked by history. He was registered by the British government as a certified art master in South Kensington before coming to the U.S. in 1883-1884, where he obliterated all obscurity through the sensationalism of his epic painting, the “Niagara Falls in Winter” - whereby he had himself suspended by tackle over the Falls so that he might be able to make his studies in mid-air, in near zero weather. In December of 1884, Cameron’s 9 by 18 foot masterpiece was unveiled and immediately purchased for an extraordinary $30,000 by Hulbert Harrington (H. H.) Warner of Rochester, New York and founder of Warner Observatory. Following the sale, the painting was widely exhibited throughout Rochester and Detroit before it was sent to Europe. In 1887, the painting came to an untimely demise and was destroyed by fire after its exposition at the Crystal Palace in London. At/or shortly after the colossal painting made its debut, this much smaller panoramic-sized painting/study of the Falls, dated 1885, was painted and also purchased by H. H. Warner. The New York Times recorded its sale on January 9, 1885, for $3,000, and Mensing and Stetcher printers produced a lithograph of it for Warner. In addition to this lot, two other paintings of “Niagara Falls in Winter” were made by Cameron: an even larger replacement copy for the one that burned in 1887 that measured 10 by 21 feet (completed in 1890), and the larger companion work to this one that sold at Sotheby’s in 2016 and is inscribed “Niagara Falls in Winter/Began Feb 10th 1884/Finished Nov. 1 1884/First two months on the spot.”

Matted, glazed and framed. 11-1/8” x 8”, framed 13-3/8” x 10-1/4” $1,000-$1,500 The charming and dashing Wriothesley was initially a favorite at the Court of Elizabeth I before earning the Queen’s wrath by entering into a secret marriage with one of her maids of honor - an act the queen deemed dishonorable and disrespectable (though jealousy may have had a role in her reaction). He was briefly interred in the notorious Fleet Prison, as was his pregnant wife, a harsh punishment that afforded him time to reflect upon the dangers of earning the queen’s displeasure. Upon his release he somewhat foolishly joined forces with Robert Devereaux, Lord Essex in the latter’s ill-fated rebellion against Queen Elizabeth. Banished to the Tower of London, he was sentenced to death for his role in the treasonous act but the penalty was eventually commuted to life imprisonment. It was not until James I ascended the throne that he was freed, and once again immersed himself in the intrigues of court life, eventually being named a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. Wriothesley was a vocal champion of the arts, and was most notably a patron of William Shakespeare; the narrative poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece were dedicated to him. 189 Suite of Fourteen Jacobean-Style Oak Dining Chairs 188

276 William Riviere (British, 1806-1876) “Portrait of a Distinguished Family”, 1847 oil on canvas signed and dated lower right, previously sold as “Portrait of the Fenwick Family”, faint pencil inscription “Fenwick Family, Brewers” en verso stretcher. Framed. 38” x 48”, framed 44” x 55” Provenance: Sotheby’s, London, U.K., April 9, 1974, lot 97; Private collection; Sold in these rooms, July 28, 2018, lot 252. $3,000-$5,000 An accomplished portraitist, William Riviere dedicated most of his career to art education, first at Cheltenham College, Gloucestershire, England (where he was instrumental in creating a highly respected art school) and later at Oxford University (where he stressed the importance of practical art instruction in higher education). He received his earliest training from his father, a well-respected drawing master himself, before attending the Royal Academy School of Art. While at the RA, he was lauded by his professors and fellow students as a precise and talented draughtsman. The compelling family portrait presented here is a wonderful example of the fineness and detail of Riviere’s work - the complex multi-figural composition, the lush fabrics and glinting metals which almost revel in their textural variety, the welldelineated background filled with elements of wealth and prestige. Riviere was a consistent, if infrequent, exhibitor at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. His son was the artist Briton Riviere, R.A. (1840-1920).

“(Hardy) will win further fame by his Saxon Wolf-Hunters returning with their tribute of wolves-heads.

Framed. 30” x 20”, framed 41” x 31” $4,000-$7,000 Hamilton Hamilton, not a heteronym gone awry, or the eponymous Federalist shot by Aaron Burr, but a Scotsman of equal merit (in the arts) on the American frontier. Hamilton, a protege of John Ruskin, was a celebrated landscape artist of the New York hinterlands and the pioneering West. In an 1873 expedition to Colorado, Hamilton created forty-seven landscape paintings for the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia before embarking on a six-year sojourn to Brittany where he painted en plein air alongside Barbizon School painters. Hamilton was also an accomplished portraitist and genre painter, preferring these mediums after he married and settled in the 1890s in Norwalk, Connecticut with wife and twin daughters, Helen and Marguerite, both of whom served as young models to their father and later became artists of merit. This fine portrait of Helen reading exemplifies Hamilton’s keen ability to combine portraiture and domestic quietude in the wake of bourgeois ennui.

373 Circle of Francois Clouet (French, 1510-1572) “Probably a Portrait of Marguerite de Valois, Queen of Navarre”, ca. 1570-1572 oil on wood panel backed by cradle boards unsigned, “Fogg Art Museum” and inventory number en verso, brass plate inscription attributing it to Jeanne d’Albret, Queen Regnant, and mother-in-law of Valois. Presented in an elaborate frame. 14-1/8” x 11-1/4”, framed 24-1/2” x 19-1/2” $10,000-$15,000 373

Marguerite de Valois, Queen of Navarre, was the daughter of Henri II of France and Catherine de Medici from the House of Valois-Angouleme. In 1572 she married Henri III/IV, King of Navarre, from the House of Bourbon. Her portrait was drawn and painted numerous times by Francois Clouet, who succeeded his father as court painter to Francis I of France. Clouet, an extraordinarily gifted portraitist, also served under six successive kings of France and Navarre, executing numerous portraits of the Albrets and Bourbons of Navarre. Marguerite's mother-in-law, Jeanne d'Albret (Joan III), served as the Queen Regent until she mysteriously died (poisoned by Catherine de Medici?) just before her son's wedding and Marguerite ascended the throne as Queen of Navarre. Given the titular similarities and semblance of features, notably curly hair and long nose, the two are often mistaken. The portrait offered here is more consistent with the coloring, setting of the eyes and lips of other extant portraits of Marguerite, particularly Clouet's 1571-1572 portraits executed during her engagement.

154

This work likely belongs to this corpus of commission, many of which were copied within the workshop of Clouet or his circle for other royal members or clergy. Clouet often worked on a small scale, perfecting miniatures and portable panels measuring 12-18 inches in height. A set of six of these works by Clouet depicting the queens, queen regents and consorts of France were commissioned for the Cardinal's Palace in the late 1500s and passed to the duchess of Aiguillon after the death of her uncle Cardinal Richlieu in 1643. Each was slightly larger, with an ebonized background that depicted the women in three-quarter profile with elaborate pearls, gowns and accoutrements. This work was likely acquired from an auction or ex-collection in the early 1900s. In 1935, it was loaned, probably to the Fogg Art Museum as the inventory number is consistent with the museum system, though no online record has yet been located by the Museum's register. This elusive portrait is as rich in history and mystery as the sitter's opulence and persona.

381 After Pieter Bruegel the Elder (Dutch, ca. 1523-1569) “The Blind Leading the Blind” oil on canvas a copy by Egide Godfried Guffens (Belgian, 1823-1901), signed and inscribed lower left “Kopy op doeck G. Guffens / Bruegel MDXVIII”. Framed. 34-1/2” x 61”, framed 45-1/2” x 72” $1,500-$2,500 “The Blind Leading the Blind”, an ancient idiom referenced in the Bible, was a popular motif depicted in Protestant 16th-century art that privileged proverbs and landscapes over forbidden religious icons. One of the last paintings Bruegel painted was of this subject, cleverly combining various types of eye afflictions on a motley crew of blokes trudging alongside a Dutch canal, the diagonal composition as off-kilter as the blind procession itself. The juxtaposition of the scurrilous leader grounded in a ditch with the Roman Catholic church of St. Anna in the background is often read as political mockery of the Spanish Netherlands government, which issued mass arrests and executions of Protestants through the brutal edict, the Council of Troubles (1567).

377

Bruegel’s interpretation of the “Blind Leading the Blind” has inspired numerous period and 19th-century copies; his son, Bruegel the Younger, painted a larger copy; Charles Baudelaire and William Carlos Williams reference it in their poems, and Godfried Guffens, a prominent member of the Nazarene movement (German Romantic painters with a predilection for Christian art), also pays tribute to the master and fellow Protestant in the depiction offered here.

Liu Kuo-Sung, often hailed the “father of modern ink painting”, is a pioneering figure in the modern art movement in post-war Taiwan. He rejected early 20th century social realism, and has challenged the boundaries of guohua- traditional Chinese brush painting within Eastern aesthetics, calling for a more expressive use of ink and brush painting. Through writing, manifestos and more than ninety solo world-wide exhibits, Liu has championed for the liberation of calligraphy’s and landscape painting’s innate abstraction that privileges the infinite over the finite in an ever evolving cycle of life and seasons born of ancient Daoist tenets- the yin and yang or the jade bi that fold back onto themselves. Calligraphy need not be imitative and landscape paintings- typically captured by expansive skies and mountains over tiny terrestrial figures connected by serpentine waterways- need not be bound by representation. In 1957, Liu launched the Fifth Moon Group with fellow graduates from the Art Department at the National Taiwan Normal University. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the group celebrated freedom and innovation by drawing upon bold Western color and form, namely American abstraction, and mixed-media to reconceptualize ink and brush art in a distinctly modern Chinese aesthetic. Fong Chung Ray employed collage to combine calligraphy and abstract figures; Cheng-Tin Shih experimented with lithography through the use of bagasse platesfibrous pulpy boards made from sugar cane allowing the innate flaws and cracks to inform the work; and Sung created, by chance, his famous ink rubbing technique by which a composition is created by painting with ink on water and then rubbing a ball of paper over it to create spontaneous lines and movements. The work offered here, “Green Dream”, is a visual manifesto of the Fifth Moon Group. Exhibited twice in the U.S. in the 1960s, it represents, par excellence, the bravura of Liu’s ink rubbing technique. Here layers of pale green, redolent of fine jade, reverberate through nuanced rubbings are both punctured and punctuated by bold calligraphic marks.

Unframed. each panel 75” x 96” Provenance: The Pan American Life Center Art Collection, 601 Poydras Street, New Orleans, Louisiana. Literature: Gregory Roberts, “Art in High Places: Corporate New Orleans Bids Farewell to the Framed Duck Print”, TimesPicayune, 27 Nov. 1983, D11; Roger Green, “Pan American Life Gives Big Boost to La Artists”, Times-Picayune, 10 Dec. 1980, 3D. $20,000-$40,000 In 1980, the Pan American Life Insurance Company commissioned the Chicago-based architecture firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) to design its $60 million building at 601 Poydras Street. The company’s vision was to incorporate public art spaces into corporate working places, creating a lifeline between the people of Louisiana and its rich cultural heritage. Under the collective guidance of NOMA, the Contemporary Arts Center and Galerie Simonne Stern, SOM’s interior designers - Judy Ridge and Patrick McConnell - purchased more than 200 pieces, including works by Kohlmeyer, Emery, Dunbar, Gordy and Tannen. After seeing a smaller landscape by Dureau in a Chicago catalogue, the interior designers were so impressed that they approached the artist, asking if he could produce an impressionistic largescale landscape representative of Louisiana. Dureau chose three elements rendered in three panels - blue skies, verdant trees and a sandy clearing, and called it an “Invitation to St. Francisville”. At a public opening in the building in 1983, Dureau stated that it was “one of his favorite paintings” - “I get totally passionate over landscapes. Nobody gets angry when I love the trees so much.”

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.
