NOTES ON THE CATALOGUE
The Collection of William Vance: Many of the lots in this sale derive from the collection of William Vance of Timaru. Vance, who worked at the Timaru Herald, was an enthusiastic collector of books, maps, photography, manuscript materials and ephemera. He was a dedicated correspondent – scores of letters are laid into his books – and an accomplished historian. He is perhaps best known for his local history title 'High Endeavour' (first published 1955), which discusses the Mackenzie Country. Lots from the Vance collection are marked 'Ex Libris Vance' in this catalogue. Further materials from the collection will be offered in the 2010 Christmas sale.
Information on lots appears in the following sequence: lot number, author, title, edition, publisher, date of publication, pagination (where applicable), bibliographic citation, condition, other notes (for example, copy number of a limited edition), estimated auction price (for some lots only). The bibliographic citations appearing after the date of publication are from: A G Bagnall (Editor), New Zealand National Bibliography to the Year 1960, Govt Printer, Wellington 1969-1985. Citations from Vol I Parts 1 & 2 (to 1889) appear as a number without a letter before the number. Citations from Vols II-V (1890-1960) have a letter before the number (for example, B755). The bibliographic citations for Maori works are from: H W Williams, A Bibliography of Printed Maori to 1900 and Supplement, Govt Printer, Wellington 1975, and Parkinson & Griffith, Books in Maori 1815-1900, Reed 2004.

Entries include the diarist urging gumdigging Bro Kaio to go to a Conference, the diarist leaving his horse with Bro Going while he takes the train to Whangarei and the steamer to Auckland, a wedding in Takahiwai, and five baptisms (set out in official columns). Many names mentioned, locals, as well as missionaries arriving from America (Bros Goff, Johnson & Browning, Whight, Derbidge). Hori Wetene was visited in Paparoa, a meeting held in his house, after which ‘I showed them views of Salt Lake City’. Hori Wetene told the missionary that he wanted to give the Book of Mormon back ‘as his people would not come and see him if he did not quit this church’. Two hymns translated into Maori laid in including ‘How Firm a Foundation’.

DIARY, NEW ZEALAND WARS VOLUNTEER CHURTON A manuscript diary kept by William Henry Churton of Auckland, teenage brother-in-law of Charles Heaphy. He reports the wounding of Heaphy (who received as a result the first Victoria Cross awarded to a colonial soldier), and gives a first hand account of the life of a Volunteer soldier. The diary opens with a scene of tea taking in polite society in Auckland and closes with a neat list headed ‘Officers Killed in the War in Province of Auckland 1863’. 1863-64. 8vo. Halfbound, marbled boards. Spine damaged with some loss. A rarity indeed - an untapped diary from this important period in the history of Aotearoa/ New Zealand. Offering a glimpse of the daily life of the son of a Colonial Chaplain, beginning with a round of social and church-related engagements in Auckland. William wrote his name and address in this diary on the 1st of January 1863. His address ‘Little Sutton’ (St George’s Bay) followed by ‘Exchange clerk Bank of N S Wales, Auckland’. This page has also been used to practice his signature and initials. The bank was evidently close to the waterfront as the comings and goings of ships and their passengers were keenly noted by our diarist. ‘5th February 1863. The “Ida Ziegler” sailed for London, etc. The Fairburns went in her.’ Churton also observed the quick departure for Sydney of survivors of the wreck of the ‘Orpheus’ on February 10th, the entry for the 17th edged in black as the city mourned its loss. Perhaps the most exciting entries in the diary relate to the activities of the Auckand Volunteers. Fresh accounts of the much studied Land War period are always welcome. This

diary differs from specific ‘war’ diaries in that it covers nineteen months in the life of a seventeen-year-old, during which time he went to war. Flick the pages from dining with the Heaphys, the Baddelys & the Coateses, to find our diarist starting for Otahuhu or the Wairoa, the cast changing to Captain Brackenbury, Lieut Russell, Private Von Sturmer & Major Dequincey. The entry for the 6th February 1864 includes ‘Mrs Buchanan went to Mercury Island and Mr Heaphy to the front in the “Alexandra” with the Governor and the War Minister’. 13th February: ‘Went to the child’s (Marvins baby) funeral, & to the Coates’s in the evening. News of engagement at Waiau. Mr Heaphy wounded.’ An eye-witness account of turbulent times. Further information on request. G. Est. $3000 *front cover 151

Photocopied poem ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ pasted inside, bearing handwritten inscription ‘for Hone Tuwhare from R W Gopas’. Loosely enclosed handwritten letter (two sides) from Gopas to Tuwhare, as well as four leaves of poems inscribed by Gopas. Also enclosed is a short note (torn in four but taped back together) from art dealer Kobi Bossard to Tuwhare stating that Gopas wants to give Tuwhare a manuscript. Approximately 120 pages of poems, sketches, astronomical images and diagrams photocopied from manuscript and typescript originals, and pasted to blank pages. Two photographic prints of the moon affixed to one page. Seven further loose leaves of photocopied material, including one newspaper article by Bruce Robinson (apparently dated 27 September 1978) referring to Gopas using the photocopying machine ‘as a tool in the same way that some photographers use darkroom equipment to exploit their images’. Various hand annotations throughout. Rudolf Gopas, 1913-1983, artist, art teacher and amateur astronomer. Born in Silute, near Memel (Klaipeda), then part of Germany. Gopas arrived in New Zealand in 1949, obtaining employment as a photo-processor with the firm of Coulls Somerville Wilkie Ltd. He taught art at the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts from 1959-1977. See Mane-Wheoki, ‘Gopas, Rudolf’, DNZB, updated 2007. Passing references to the likes of Shakespeare, Simenon, Graham Greene, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse juxtaposed with sub/titles such as ‘Kumara Speaks’ and ‘Be a local Boy!’ give this item an intriguing literary currency. The letter to Tuwhare, apologising for ‘butting in on you unannounced’, reveals that Gopas did absorb some of the Kiwi culture of the day. A most fascinating piece, crackling with eccentricity.

Bethunes at Webb's
GUIDE FOR BUYERS
Bethunes at Webb's have set out the following information for first time buyers and those unfamiliar with auction procedures. Important: Please refer to full Conditions of Sale for Buyers printed elsewhere in this catalogue and displayed in the saleroom.
Registration
All intending buyers must complete a bidding form available from the reception desk.
Buying at Auction
FLOOR BIDDERS Register and obtain a bidder card before bidding on any lot or lots. Be aware that a buyer's premium of 17.5% plus GST on the premium, effectively a total of 19.7% , is payable in addition to the bid price. Make your bids clear, preferably by holding up your bidder card. If you make a mistake (for example, the auctioneer takes a bid from you at a higher level than you had intended, or you realise that you had bid on the wrong lot), call out to the auctioneer immediately so that the bidding can be adjusted. Waiting until the hammer falls is too late. If your bid is the highest and the lot is knocked down to you then you have entered a binding obligation to pay for that lot. BIDDING INCREMENTS ARE AT THE AUCTIONEER'S DISCRETION Bidding will commence at a bidding increment over the second highest absentee/ postal bid received prior to the commencement of the auction. Where no bids have been received bidding will commence at half the auctioneer's lot estimate, or at $10, whichever is the higher, at the auctioneer's sole discretion. SALES SUBJECT TO VENDOR'S CONSENT Where your bid is the highest, but still below the reserve, the auctioneer may declare you to be the 'buyer subject to vendor's consent' ('Subject' or 'SVA'). This means that your bid is held as binding and will be communicated to the vendor at the earliest opportunity. If the vendor accepts then there is a contractual obligation for you to pay for the lot. If the vendor does not accept, you are released from any obligation, however you will have first right to negotiate with the vendor through Bethunes at Webb's until an agreement is reached, and Webb's will not present other offers to the vendor until your negotiations are ended. ABSENTEE BIDS Bethunes at Webb's will endeavour to ensure that your bidding instructions are executed, but accept no responsibility or liability for failure to do so. Lots will be bought as favourably as is allowed by bidding in the sale room, other competitive absentee bids and any reserve imposed by the vendor. Please note that Bethunes at Webb's cannot guarantee that another bidder will not be successful at your limit if, in the course of competitive bidding, a floor bidder bids your limit first. Absentee bids are accepted by written instruction which can be sent by fax, email or post to arrive no later than the evening before the commencement of the sale. Priority will be given to the earliest received absentee bid where identical bids are received. Absentee bids will be executed on the following basis: If your bid limit is equal to or above a reserve, the auctioneer may open the bidding at reserve on your behalf and will bid thereafter only in response to competition for the lot. If your bid limit is below a reserve, the auctioneer may open the bidding at your limit and if there are no further bids in the room may sell to you 'subject to vendor's consent'. In the absence of a reserve the auctioneer may exercise your bid in advance of any opening bid or may open the bidding on your behalf at a bidding increment over the second highest absentee bid received prior to auction commencement or if no other absentee bids have been received bidding will commence at half the auctioneer's lot estimate, or at $10 whichever is the higher, at the auctioneer's sole discretion.
TELEPHONE BIDS Such bids are available for items over $100 and where the auctioneer is able to confirm availability of staff to provide this service. The same conditions as above apply to telephone bidders. Webb's will telephone the number you have given several minutes before the lot you have requested comes up for sale. If your phone is engaged or we are unable to make contact the auction will proceed without your bidding. Our staff will ask you to hold when we have made contact. They will then tell you that your lot is about to come up. The bids will be relayed to you and you can enter the bidding at any time by making your call. Please note that the bidding at many auctions can be fast and furious. The auctioneer will not favour a phone bidder over and above buyers who are attending the auction by giving them more time to bid. You will need to establish your limit and make sure that you bid clearly and promptly. Telephone bids are only accepted for catalogued sales and on items with estimates over $100. PRE-SALE ESTIMATES Estimates printed in the catalogue or given verbally are intended as a guide only and can be subject to revision nearer to the time of a sale. Bethunes at Webb's staff are available during pre-sale viewing times and by appointment to assist prospective bidders with estimates and any aspect of the auction procedure. CONDITION REPORTS Bethunes at Webb's staff will provide condition reports over and above the catalogue description for out of Auckland buyers. However, please note that No 6 of the Conditions of Sale for Buyers will still apply despite the obtaining of a condition report. PAYMENT Payment for all items purchased is due on the day of sale immediately following completion of the sale. If full payment cannot be made on the day of sale a deposit of 10% of the total sum due must be made on the day of sale and the balance must be paid within 5 working days.Payment is by cash, bank cheque or Eftpos.
