Abbey, Travel, 312. Alexander Beatson (1759-1833) served for many years as
an officer in the East India Company and was later governor of St. Helena
between 1808 and 1813. The island, which then belonged to the East India
Company, was in a very unsatisfactory condition when Beatson arrived there.
The scanty population had been decimated by an epidemic of measles, and
there was great discontent amongst those who remained, resulting in a mutiny
in 1811. Beatson firmly brought the unrest under control and set about a better
system of cultivation and many other beneficial measures. After his retirement
and return to England, Beatson devoted his attention to running a farm near
Tunbridge Wells, where he conducted numerous agricultural experiments.

to apologize for an “act of ingratitude” regarding a printer’s error in one of his
articles. Apparently the word “unfurnished” was mistakenly used instead of
“unfinished” in regards to Merivale’s house and Thackeray assures Merivale
that his house “is very handsomely furnished and secondly may I be torn to
pieces by wild horses, and never asked to dinner again, if I write articles in
disparagement of a house furnished with such a hospitable mahogany table
as your’s [sic] is and where such a kind host and hostess preside.”

Smith I, 5. Rarely found in a publisher’s morocco binding. Little appears to be
known about leather-bound editions of Dickens; it has been stated that copies
of ‘Nicholas Nickleby’ were available in full morocco for the general public to
purchase at a higher price than the cloth edition, although it has also been
suggested that such volumes were produced exclusively as presentation
copies for the author. The few morocco-bound copies which we have seen
differ from the volume offered here, having gilt on the spine only, without the
gilt vignette on the covers. Comte Alain de Suzannet had two such copies in
his collection, which Dickens presented to William Macready and David Wilkie
(Slater, The Catalogue of the Suzannet Charles Dickens Collection, 1975, A.8

Smith I, 14. Smith states that the ‘first five issues were probably printed at a
single impression and published with altered title-pages to imply and
encourage a rapid sale. (The words announcing the “edition” are printed
between the volume number and the imprint.) In all five issues, the same
misprints persist. The genuine second edition was the one-volume “Library
Edition” which Chapman and Hall published in 1862.’ The rarity of the first
issue of ‘Great Expectations’ has been attributed to it being almost entirely
taken up by libraries. It is believed that 1000 copies of the first issue and 750
of the second were printed, and that probably most of the first and more than
half of the second were purchased by Mudie’s Select Library. All of the first
five issues are rare in original cloth.

THE ANTIQUARIAN LIBRARY OF EMERITUS PROFESSOR DAVID A. PAILIN
This fine collection of antiquarian books relating to the Philosophy of
Religion was assembled by Professor Pailin (University of Manchester)
over a period of almost forty years as a working library. It provides a
comprehensive survey of thought about the nature and content of faith
in this period. Major works and treatises on the subject are present,
as well as lesser-known texts, including items on moral philosophy,
arguments about deism, collected works, critical works, plus bound
volumes of tracts and pamphlets. The majority of the works, which
total some 1,180 items, are in English, and a number of the books are
extremely scarce. Condition is mostly good, with repairs having been
carried out where necessary in a sympathetic manner.
'My collection of antiquarian books started accidentally. One or two
volumes were given to me by relatives (including Samuel Clarke’s
Three Practical Discourses, 1721). John Robinson’s Observations
Divine and Morall, 1625, was acquired in the early 1960s when I was
one of several Methodist ministers who were invited to take a few
volumes from the library of a recently deceased Church member. I
took this volume because its author shared the name of the then
somewhat notorious Bishop of Woolwich, thinking that, if opportunity
arose, I could tease people by quoting ‘John Robinson’: it was many
years later that I discovered that the earlier John Robinson had been
pastor to the Pilgrim Fathers in Leiden. The collected works of John
Wesley in sixteen volumes (1810-1821) came from the same source. I bought the four-volume collected works of John Locke (1768) because
it seemed useful for me to have at hand the text of his Essay concerning Human Understanding while I was completing a thesis on Newman’s
Grammar of Assent. It was only in the second half of the 1960s that the collection started to have a focus, even if a somewhat fuzzy one.
On being appointed to an Assistant Lectureship in the Philosophy of Religion (a position so lowly that it was soon abolished), I started work
on a doctoral thesis. While the original aim of the thesis was to examine how major nineteenth and twentieth-century philosophers and
theologians had understood the logic and content of theological assertions in response to fundamental questions posed by the works of
David Hume and Immanuel Kant, I began by enquiring into the background of their works in the theological debates about the relationship
between faith, belief and reason that took place in the preceding decades, starting with the views of Locke.
Eventually this study became so extensive that it formed the subject of the thesis. I examined how some argued that belief must be limited
to what rational reflection alone can determine and others that belief may extend beyond those limits by including the content of rationally
authenticated revelations, while yet others, in contrast, cast religious, theological and philosophical doubts on the competence of reason in
such matters. While I had access to a good library in the university, it was much more convenient to have the books that I wanted to study
carefully at home. Accordingly, as opportunity arose, I began to buy books relevant to the debates about faith and reason from the end of the
seventeenth to the start of the nineteenth century (i.e. the period from Locke to William Paley).'

George Edmund Street (1824-1881) is considered by many to be one of the
greatest Gothic Revival architects in Europe. As a young man he was first
apprenticed to an architect in Winchester, and then to Sir George Gilbert Scott
in 1844. Just four years later, Street left to establish his own practice, which
was known particularly for the many church commissions carried out in Britain
and abroad. Street’s most celebrated secular work, the Law Courts in London,
was begun in 1866, and he is recorded as having made 3000 drawings for
the project, leaving his son to finish the building after his death. Street’s office
played a pivotal role in the Arts and Crafts Movement; both Philip Webb and
William Morris worked with him as did Richard Norman Shaw and both
Seddings. Like Pugin, Butterfield, Scott and Burges, Street was interested in
the building as a complete entity, and designed, amongst other things,
furniture, textiles, stained glass and metalwork, as well as tiles. One of
Street’s most important restoration commissions was the refurbishment of
Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin between 1871 and 1878. This restoration
scheme was funded by vast sums of money donated by local distiller Henry
Roe, making it possible to pave the whole floor with tiles of every description;
Street’s designs for the project were subsequently exhibited at the Paris
Exhibition of 1878.

This collection comes from the estate of the late Sheila Rose (1929-2012) and
includes one original pen and ink sketch of four children (sheet size 10 x 19
cm) discovered being used as a bookmark in the 1930 volume of Punch. Sheila
was one of the best pony book illustrators of the post-war period, her
style instantly recognisable, quite spare and swiftly drawn. She had the rare
ability to draw both horses and people equally well. Born in Bishop's Stortford
on September 26th 1929, she was educated at Hitchin Grammar School and
Harrogate College. She started riding her own ponies and drawing them when
she was four, and 'competed at all shows in Hertfordshire between 1940 and
1945 (according to her entry in Who's Who in the Pony Magazine Annual 1968).
She illustrated her first book in 1949 and was highly prolific during the 1950s
and 60s. She moved to Rome c. 1964/5 where she remained for the rest of her
life, having very little contact with her family during this period.

ALBERTO KORDA (1928-2001)
The photographs offered here (lots 786-815) have been consigned by Norka Korda,
daughter of the photographer and his second wife, also called Norka Korda. Every
photograph is accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity from Norka Korda,
recording the provenance, along with the lot number, title, vintage and sale date.
"The photographs by my father Alberto Korda, offered here, formed part of my personal
collection, and were acquired at various times over several decades. When I was still
very small, my father left two cases full of photographs at home, and for some years
my favourite game and many days of my childhood were passed looking at them one
by one, caught up in their magic and magnetism. Others appeared over time, and on
occasions my father gave them to me as gifts saying: "Keep them daughter, this will
be history one day!" On other occasions I know that I asked for them and he never
said no - it could be a single image or several, always it was left for me to choose I
noted that the interest that I took in his work made him happy. On 14th March 1968
his files were confiscated, he only recovered bits and pieces, and up to today they
remain held in the National Archives of Cuba in Havana. My father maintained the right
to use them every time that he was required to make prints. For many years I was
able to see how he made copies in his darkroom and to see with my own eyes the
negatives and the magic of developing." (Norka Korda, February 2013).

"These are extremely scarce images, the original
negatives disappeared, when in March 1968 they
confiscated my father's photographic archive. Thus
it is an invaluable work bearing in mind that it was the
beginning of his career and a period which formed him
as an artist with a personal vision of photographic art.
Therefore in my view, and that of some of his critics,
it is a body of work of much aesthetic value"
(Norka Korda).
On what attracted him to photography in the first place Alberto
Korda told Mark Sanders:
“I have to say the women. I wanted to become a
famous fashion photographer because that way I
would be able to meet the most beautiful women
in Cuba”

"At that time I was, and still am, an advocate of natural light. Almost 95% of all
my photographs have been shot under natural light. In the early days I had to
struggle for what I wanted. Often it would take six rolls to get the image I was
looking for, but when I got it I knew what the print would look like even before I
had developed it. In that way, I have always worked hard, and so I used to make

‘Korda’s photographs of women (especially those of Norka) went far beyond the
requirements of the publicity of these times. There are portraits of the model,
each one di ferent, not because of the type of garment they featured but
because of the characterisation the photographer and model achieved in each
situation. They represent the dramatic capacity of the model to coincide with the
mise en scene directed by the photographer. It is di ficult to tell where the
model ends and where the advertising of the garment she wears begins.’

These fishing photographs were taken on the 14th May 1960, second day of the Hemingway Tournament, to which
Che and other friends were invited by Fidel to accompany him on board his boat. The tournament's origins went back
to 1950 when the writer Ernest Hemingway took part. A group of fishermen proposed that the tournament be named
after the famous writer, for the affection and passion that he felt for this recreational sport. Hemingway not only
accepted, but donated the cup for the first three tournaments. Hemingway won the tournament from 1953 to 1955.
Hemingway returned in 1960 to carry off the prize for the 11th International Hemingway Tournament, where he met
with the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro.

Between 1959 and 1969 Korda was a
correspondent for the magazine Revolucion. It is
the era of his great photojournalism and for his
photographs of Fidel, Che and the other leaders of
the Revolution. Unlike many official
photographers, Korda never portrays Castro as
leader, but as a human being ... "and that was
relatively easy to achieve, since there weren't
others following him and photographing him on
his day-to-day activities", Korda said respectfully.
Perhaps the best known photo of Castro in Cuba
taken by Korda, is that in which he is standing on
a mountain, in profile, with his backpack and rifle.
It was taken during a tour by Castro in the Sierra
Maestra. The photograph was produced as a
poster by the tens of thousands that flooded the
island with the slogan 'Commander in Chief, by
order!' Korda has captioned and signed the mount
for this photograph.

I was 31 years old and hungry as a wolf for images for my camera. Fidel
asked me to join his staff which I did, giving my support by choosing the
right moment (a moment suggested by Fidel prophecies) to make the
photographs. We were not aware of what we are doing. Corrales and I
both worshipped Fidel and Che, our idealism for a new Havana’, (Cuba Si!,

“I knew that the photographs I was taking of
Fidel during his state visits abroad were of

Alberto Korda has noted that Che Guevara was a very difficult man to photograph and that his famous portrait of
Che Guevara, thought to be the most reproduced photograph in history, was a "lucky break". Korda actually only
took photographs of Che on a handful of occasions. The golf tournament, the Nikaro mining series and the Zafra
series are all represented here, including four lots of Korda photographs consigned by a friend of Norka Korda.
Of the Zafra series Korda noted:
“Che was doing some tests with Alzadora, a new machine for cu ting sugarcane that he had
designed with a French engineer. When I found him, his face blackened with sweat and dust a bit
pu fed up with cortisone he was taking at the time, he looked at me with a mixture of irony and
surprise. ‘Ah, you’re here Korda. Where did you come from originally – the town or the countryside?’
I replied: ‘Me? From Havana, Comandante’. He asked: ‘And have you ever cut sugarcane?’ and I had to
reply: ‘Never!’. He turned towards one of his guards: ‘Alfonso, find a machete for the companero
journalist’, and as he turned to me, he added: ‘As for photos, try again next week.’”

Batteries of anti-aircraft guns were installed along the Malecon, Sea Front

On the 28th October 1962 the Soviet leader agreed to the American demands
to withdraw arms from the island and J.F. Kennedy terminated the naval
blockade and gave guarantees that the U.S. would not invade the Caribbean
territory. Those days have passed into history as the October Crisis or the

Ministry of Industry - he worked so much that he often received visitors as
late as 4 in the morning. The interview was in French. When they left his

pockets?’ I didn’t reply, but thought to myself: ‘What’s the problem? I paid for all the film myself!’ It was only much later that I understood, when the blockade
of Cuba began” (Cuba by Korda, p. 94).

Korda always considered his portrait of the girl with the wooden doll
as the turning point in his career and this image remained his
favourite of all his own photographs until his death in Paris in 2001.
“It was about two months after the Revolution started that I made my
first social intervention. My portrait of a young girl entitled La Nina de
la Meneca de Palo was completed in 1959. An advertising agency had
sent me to the countryside to photograph the farmers, and in the
courtyard of a very poor house I found this girl. She was afraid of me
and of the camera and was telling a wooden stick, “Don’t cry, my
baby”. When I met the parents they told me that they couldn’t afford
a proper doll for the girl. That made me think a lot and I remembered
Fidel’s speech about the social reality of Cuba in which he said that
girls without dolls would disappear with the Revolution. In that
moment I decided that I would dedicate my life and work to the
Revolution” (Interview with Mark Sanders, in Alberto Korda, p. 429).
"My father was looking for locations to take fashion photos, and he
found this girl, Paulina, close to a country dwelling in the settlement
of Sumidero, municipality of Minas de Matahambre, in the province
of Pinar del Rio. It became one of the five most important and iconic
Korda photographs. It was published on the front page of a local
newspaper, denouncing the poverty of the countryside and of the
children that didn't have more than a stick of wood for a doll and a
piece of paper to clothe them with. This image prompted the
inhabitants Havana to buy masses of toys to send as presents to the
children of rural Cuba. It was always my father's favourite."

The Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) is now sadly extinct, once a flightless bird indigenous to Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Little is known about the Dodo but paintings
and written accounts appeared from the 17th century onwards, the first account written by Dutch sailors in 1598. It is believed that the readiness of food (fruit)
and absence of predators on the island was a contributing factor to it becoming flightless, which ultimately led to its extinction as the bird became preyed upon
by hungry sailors and their domesticated animals which had been introduced to the island. The last recorded sighting of the Dodo was in 1662 but fossil remains
have enabled scientists to create a pattern of its size and weight, i.e. 3 ft 3 ins tall and 10-18 kg in weight.

A complete set of this lavishly illustrated work, being the first comprehensive flora of the East Indies. Many of the plants are here
illustrated for the first time. The botanist Rheede tot Draakestein was governor of the Dutch colony of Malabar on the South West
Coast of India from 1669 to 1676, and Chief Representative of the Dutch East India Company in India from 1684. The work was
completed with the help of several colleagues in the field, including the Italian missionary Father Mattheus a St. Joseph, who produced
many of the drawings. Their work was sent back to Holland, where the botanical scholars Jan Commelin and Arnold Steyn added
notes and assisted in its publication. Each plate is inscribed with the plant name in Latin, Malabarese, Arabic and ancient Brahmin.
Provenance: Bookplate of Robert Lumley Lloyd (1666-1729) of Cheam, Surrey, Rector of St. Paul’s, Convent Garden, and Chaplain to
the Duke and Dowager Duchess of Bedford, and a keen botanist whose gardens at Cheam were highly regarded. Extensive annotations
to first and last few leaves of the first and thirteenth volumes, by Peter Collinson FRS, with some additional notes by Michael Collinson,
and several mounted botanical samples (with captions) of exotic plants and trees. Peter Collinson (1694-1768) was a gardener and
natural scientist, particularly known for his correspondence with Benjamin Franklin concerning electricity.
Collinson provides a lengthy biographical notice of his friend Lumley Lloyd to the front endpapers of the first volume, ‘These books
of the Hortus Malabaricus was the Legacy of my Dear Friend Docr. Lumley Lloyd D.D. of Cheam in Surry ... he was from his youth a
great Lover of Flowers & Rare Plants, he told mee when he was a young studient at Cambridge about the year 1686 that he purchased
from Holland three or four seeds of the Narsturtium Indicum ... at half a crown each, being then a great rarity for it came from India
but two years before, he was so impatient to see it flower that he would not stirr out of Doors least it should Blow in his Absence.
He well remembered and could name all the striped flowers Auriculas that was to purchased when he was a Lad att the 12 or 14th
year of his age ... He told mee a long detail of the Gardners he purchased them off & that he valued no brick for a new flower - he told
mee the original or mother of all the fine Auriculas that was then in being was Raised from the Seed of an Auricula named Blinds:
Cream after the name of a Gardner at Mortlack that first produced it from seed, it was a flower that had good properties and was in
request in my memory, but now anno 1746 I question if it is allowed a place in the pott or is to be found; Mr. Potter, Gardner at Micham
had the greatest success in raising surprising fine Flowers from Seed with whome the Docr. laid out considerably every year
notwithstanding he raised great many every year ... He with Mr. Potter’s assistance raised annually an infinite variety of most charming
flowers & tulips he had almost without number produced from seed & breeders. So great was his love for this flower, of which he
had the finest I ever saw in any collection - that he had two long and high iron frames which inclosed Two Beds Each, with a Walk in
the Middle, this was all Coverd with Canvas to screen the Tulips from the Sun, it was very agreeable viewing them in the Heat of the
day under this shade. These Two Iron Frames cost Eighty Pounds - all the Ranunculas & Anemony Beds had Lower Wood Frames &
Canvas coverings. He spared No Expence to prolong His Favourite Flowers… My Valuable Friend was for greatest part of his Life
sadly affected with the Gout, but when he could no longer bear being wheeld about his Garden in a Little Coach, so great was his
Love for his darling amusement, he had his plants & flowers brought into his Library which was finely ornamented with them'.

There is no additional charge for purchases made with these cards. Debit cards drawn on an overseas bank, however,
will be subject to a 2% surcharge.
Credit Cards
Visa and Mastercard are accepted, a 2% surcharge will apply. It is a good idea to let your card provider know in advance
if you are intending to buy something. This can help cut down the time we need to seek authority when you come to pay.
Bank Transfer
All transfers must state the relevant invoice no. If transferring from a foreign currency, the amount we receive must be
the total due after the currency conversion and the deduction of any bank charges.
Collection/Postage/Delivery
If you attend the auction in person and are successful in your bid, you are free to collect your item once payment has
been made.
Successful commission or live bids will be invoiced to you the day after the sale. When it is possible for our in-house
packing department to send your purchase(s), a charge for postage/packing/insurance will be included in your invoice.
Where it is not possible for our in-house packing department to send your item you will be required to make your own
arrangements or to contact Mailboxes etc (tel: 01793 525009) who may be able to help.
We provide a monthly delivery service to Central London, usually on Wednesday of the week following an auction.
Payment must be received before this option can be requested. A charge will be added to your invoice for this service.

1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or
is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to
transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.
2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer
considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle
it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine
the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two
or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice.
(b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into
an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some
of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other
party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction
Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are
bought bona fide on joint account.
3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the
Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of
19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the
premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s
Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and
will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price
will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making
any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the
fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller
commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and
assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.
4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and
permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the
conclusion of the auction the total sum due.
(b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale
the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after
such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion
be put up again and resold immediately.
(c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased
no later than five working days after the auction day.
(d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a
buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but
otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the
Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's
cheque has been cleared.
5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to
clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer
as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller
to exercise one or other of the following rights:
(i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults
and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to
the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after
deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall
belong to the seller.
(ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract.
(b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or
lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the
Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the
buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day.
(c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has
paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.
6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the
Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot
on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on
which a reserve has been placed.
(b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller
accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the
lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission
not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses
incurred in cataloguing the lot.
(c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification
the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private
treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller
the normal selling commission and special expenses.
Conditions of Sale and Business
222
7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue,
brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution,
genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling
price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should
exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the
Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness
of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or
the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are
hereby excluded.
8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen
days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot
notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within
fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the
Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and
satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the
catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be
rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate
forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive.
(b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid
to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the
buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out
by the Auctioneer.
9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance
with 4(d) hereof.
10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be
delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will
be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by
the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous
books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of
books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion,
have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability
of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller,
in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the
Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that
he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.
11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's
premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of
fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage.
The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the
case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior
to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in
their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods.
(b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft,
or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s
written instructions.
12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty
days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received
the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will
remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the
receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be
deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque
delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer
exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller
hereunder lapses.
13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell
any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's
middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with
Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot
or lots.
14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation
and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if
incorporated herein.
15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
English Law.
