Description and Condition of Lots
Prospective buyers must satisfy themselves concerning the condition of
the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description, in
accordance with section 6 of the Conditions of Sale and Business. Solely
as a convenience, Bloomsbury Auctions may provide condition reports.

free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects
imply the absence of any others.

it within fourteen days stating the defect in writing. This however will
not apply in the case of un-named items, periodicals, autograph letters,

damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal wormholes or other defects
not affecting the completeness of the text, nor in respect of lack of list

Artist’s Resale Rights (“Droit de Suite”)
Lots marked with an delta symbol (δ) are subject to theArtist’s
Resale Right Law.The buyer agrees to pay BloomsburyAuctions an
amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to
the artist’s collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the
Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be
more than 12,500 Euros per lot.The amount is calculated as follows:
Royalty For the portion of the Hammer Price (in euros)
4.00% up to 50,000
3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000
1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000
0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000
0.25% in excess of 500,000

calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/ Euro rate of exchange
will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.
vAT v

subject to VAT on the buyer’s premium. Eligible items such as manuscripts,
prints, photographs, drawings, framed maps, paintings, pens and
other objects are subject to VAT on the buyer’s premium as part of the
auctioneers margin scheme at a rate of 20%. This will be invoiced at a rate
inclusive of premium and VAT. Lots with an asterisk (*) in the catalogue are
subject to VAT on the hammer price as well as the buyer’s premium. Lots
marked with a double asterisk (**) have been imported from outside the
EU to be sold at auction, and therefore the buyer must pay the import at
a rate of 5% on the hammer and 20% on the buyer’s premium.

The Hawkesworth family are said to be descended from one of
William the Conqueror’s commanders, killed at the battle of
Hastings, with the estate being gifted to his son. More certainly,
while they appear to have had a small estate at Hawksworth, at least
from the twelfth century, it was not until a Walter Hawkesworth
married into the Ward family did the Hawkesworths become the
paramount landowners in the area. An older house was known to
have existed on the site, but the present building was begun in the
early seventeenth century, the oldest part with a datestone of 1611.
During the Civil War, Sir Richard Hawkesworth, a firm ally of Sir
Thomas Fairfax was arrested at Hawksworth Hall and imprisoned
at York until the city surrendered in 1644. A little later in the same
century Sir Walter Hawkesworth, created a baronet in 1669, made
several alterations to the house, and there are further dates of 1664
and 1667 on the chimneys. Hawkesworth was briefly involved in
national affairs during the 1660s when in correspondence as deputy
lieutenant to George Villiers, second duke of Buckingham, who
was attempting to establish a power base in West Yorkshire. Apart
from his own extensive holdings in the county, Buckingham married
Mary, the daughter of General Sir Thomas Fairfax who had a house
in the village. Hawkesworth’s letter-book cum commonplace book
Lot 36
is included in this archive. Alterations continued to be made to the
house until the eighteenth century when in 1796 Frances Fawkes of
Farnley Hall, near Otley, died and left all of his property to Walter
Ramsden Beaumont Hawkesworth (art collector, 1769-1825), who
had married a near relation. He took the surname Fawkes and went
to live at Farnley Hall. The Hawkesworth family retained ownership
of the house but ceased to live in it after 1825 and for the remainder
of the century it was let to tenants. Later, it came into the possession
of the Gaunt family, who, in 1955 sold the estate at auction. Until
recently, the house was used as a school by the charity SCOPE,
treating children for cerebral palsy. The school was closed in 1998
and in 2000 was sold. In addition to the longevity of the Hawkesworth
family themselves there are at least two families with a remarkable
continuance in one place, notably the Roodes or Rhodes family
(perhaps several families all taking the same surname, there is an
area of the village known as High Royds today) and the Vavasours,
both of yeoman stock and both mentioned in early medieval charters
and stll mentioned in accounts until well into the eighteenth century.
Menston is a village near the towns of Guiseley and Otley in Lower
Wharfdale, West Yorkshire. Recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086,
Menston is described as being in the Wapentake of Skyrack, being
part of the manor of Otley. During the medieval period ownership
of much of the village came under the control of the Hawkesworth
family through marriage with the Ward family. This is reflected in the
large quantity of deeds from this period, relating to every aspect of
legal ownership of property in an agricultural economy. Thereafter
the Hawkesworth’s hegemony over the area started to wane, though
they retained a presence until the late nineteenth century. Menston
remained a largely agricultural community until the eighteenth
century when, in common with much of West Yorkshire, the process
of industialisation through the operation of the mills began. Despite
this, Menston remained a small community until the nineteenth
century when a flax mill and two woollen mills were established
to the west of the village and numbers correspondingly rose. One
of these mills later became a linen bleaching mill. In 1865 work
began on the railway and in 1887 the Fawkes family sold land, upon
which the local hospital was built. The twentieth century, of course,
as in every other part of England has seen a continuous rise in the
population and concomitant house building.

In 1657 “Buckingham returned to England and paid suit to Mary
Fairfax (1638-1704), daughter and sole heir of Thomas, Lord Fairfax,
the parliamentarian general. Mary, smitten with the duke, broke off
her engagement to the earl of Chesterfield, and Buckingham and
Mary were married on 15 September at Bolton Percy in Yorkshire.
As Fairfax had been granted the major portion of the duke’s
confiscated estates, the marriage was a blatantly opportunist move
to secure his inheritance.” (Oxford DNB). As Fairfax had a house
at Menston, Sir Richard and his son Walter Hawkesworth could
be counted as near neighbours and Sir Richard was arrested and
sent to prison in York over his support for parliament during the
Civil War. On 30 October 1661 Buckingham was appointed lord
lieutenant of the West Riding. “The West Riding lieutenancy had
attached to it more deputies than any other county, and therefore
promised Buckingham extensive local patronage. Within months he
had created a loyal clientele of youngish, politically inexperienced
deputies, among whom was Sir Thomas Osborne (later earl of
Danby) and George Savile (later marquess of Halifax) were to
advance furthest. The duke’s first chance to advertise his abilities,
and to expunge the republican taint that his return to England in
1657 had created, occurred in autumn 1663, when news reached
London of a major republican conspiracy in Yorkshire. The duke
journeyed to York, and requested a commission to raise a horse
regiment. This was unduly alarmist, since government spies had
already infiltrated the claques, but three rabble-like gatherings
of dissidents did take place on 12 October, and this appeared to
vindicate his caution. He was instructed to oversee the prosecution
of the ringleaders, and some twenty men were hanged in Yorkshire
early the following year.” - Oxford DNB.

General Post Office and is now a street.

The Neville family had been instrumental in helping Edward IV
seize the thrown from Henry VI and had in consequence become
one of the most influential families in the land. However, after
Edward IVs marriage to Elizabeth Woodville in the 1460’s he
began to favour her family and tensions began to rise between the
king and the Neville’s. By 1469, relations between the Neville
family under the leadership of Richard earl of Warwick, “the
Kingmaker” and Edward IV had broken down and developed into
armed conflict. Edward IV was defeated at the battle of Edgcote
and the king himself was arrested by Archbishop Neville. By 1471
Edward IV had recovered his throne and now Archbishop Neville,
although formally pardoned was in disgrace but could not be
removed from his archiepiscopacy. th u s ge o r g e ne v i l l e w a s f o r a

the matter to Madras with ample instructions to the Medical Men at the different Presidencies. However from the length of the voyage, or
want of practice among those into whose hands it fell, it was ineffectual. My friend and pupil Dr De Carro of Vienna soon after availd himself
of an opportunity of sending it to Constantinople, & by renewing it at different stations as it pass’d on, it at length reach’d Bombay in a state of
perfection. Dr De Carro’s meritorious services claim’d the attention of the East India Company, and they were notic’d by a pecuniary present.

that the second person concern’d in this important business should have been honord with attention and not the first? For I must observe that
the Doctor had the matter from me... . The advantage derivd from the universal adoption of Vaccination throughout the Companys Settlements

selected aid posts, collecting posts, & an advanced dressing post.
The car stopped & refused to move on the top of an enclosed hill
where it was dangerous for motors. We had to shove & pull all we
knew & eventually got her near to a dug out where the chaffeur
spent the night with some French soldiers. The wood beside the car
was shelled badly during the night but the car was not touched. We
had to walk across one valley for æ of a mile - it was studded with
graves and as we crossed it a shell burst over our heads emitting
a filthy smell which was irritating to our nostrils. Personally
I was quite relieved when we reached Rainecourt... got a motor
ambulance to to carry us back to H.Q.”

*** Both works are rare. Caillet calls the Fasciculus Geomanticus
the ‘ouvrage fondamental de Géomancie’. Geomancy was
historically a form of predicting the future or uncovering facts
hidden to the inquirer using a number of dots randomly jotted down
by the geomancer. Fludd attempted to take this idea a litle further
and to use its application to unlock the unconscious part of the
mind. Consequently, the work is of interest to historians of early
psychology.

*** Books from the library of Malherbe are rare. We have only been

London, 27th November, 1996, lot 397 (signature to title and an
occasional ms. note only) and Sotheby’s, France, 21st November,
2008, lot 12).
François de Malherbe (1555-1628) French poet, critic, and
translator. His early career was largely unsuccessful and it was
not until 1600 when he presented an ode of welcome to Marie de’
Medici that he made his mark. However, it took another five years
for him to summoned to the court of Henri IV, where he lived for
the next 20 years. The personal motto he adopted during that time
comes from verse 4 of Psalm 37, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and
he will give you the desires of your heart”. According to Hector
Lefuel in his article François Malherbe (1555-1628) bibliophile,
1925, this is often inscribed on the title pages of books presented
by Malherbe to his son, Marc-Antoine, who was tragically killed in
a duel. The further inscription which includes ‘St.Aignan’ discloses
Malherbe’s pride in his ancestry, with records dating back to 1214
to a Jean de Malherbe, seigneur de St. Aignan.
With regard to the binding it is interesting to note that Lefuel
mentions a binding on another book from the poet’s library which
too has the same centre-pieces of olive wreaths.

Perhaps most importantly he was among the first to attempt to free
the natural sciences from the stifling influence of the authority of
textbooks, for which he substituted, as far as possible, direct study
and observation of the animal, vegetable, and mineral worlds.”

*** Mann presents the book to “Our dear, good Emmy Oprecht”
and hopes for her indulgence towards “this rather uncomfortable
book”.
Emmy (or Emmie) Oprecht (1899-1990) was the wife of Zurich
bookseller and publisher Emil Oprecht (1895-1952) whose
premises were a meeting place for exiled anti-fascist German and
Italian writers during the war. Emmy took over the business after
Emil’s death in 1952. Both were among Mann’s closest friends in
Zurich.
Mann had emigrated to US in 1939, moving to Pacific Palisades
near Los Angeles, in 1942. He returned to Zurich in 1952.

*** “In London in 1849 Palgrave had... been introduced to
Tennyson, who had not yet achieved the fame that In Memoriam
(1850) would bring. His time as Tennyson’s disciple was one of the
highlights of his life, but Tennyson’s need for admiring followers
was eventually overcome by his dislike of being harried by the
devoted Palgrave. On a walking tour of Cornwall in 1860, for
example, while hunting for Arthurian sites for the Idylls of the
King, Tennyson complained to William Holman Hunt that: ‘all day
long I am trying to get a quiet moment for reflection... but before
I have finished a couplet I hear Palgrave’s voice like a bee in a
bottle, making the neighbourhood resound with my name, and I
have to give myself up to escape the consequences.’ (Hunt, 2.213).
It was, therefore, little wonder that Tennyson ‘dismissed’ Palgrave
in 1868, though Palgrave continued to regard himself as a lifelong
friend.” - Oxford DNB.

*** A satire on the fashionable lectures at the Royal Institution.
The lecturer, probably Thomas Young, Professor of Natural
Philosophy at the Institute from July 1801, delivered thirty lectures
between January and May 1802, and is shown experimenting on
Sir J. C. Hippisley (left). Next to Young stands Humphry Davy,
the assistant lecturer to the Institute from July 1801. Much realism
appears to be mingled with Gillray’s satire. In 1801 Davy gave
lectures on ‘pneumatical chemistry’ and had administered nitrous
oxide (laughing gas) to several gentlemen. (M.Dorothy George,

*** “This is what I call a perfect print. The tone is sufficient and
not too even. The lines have their full value and have slight tone
or aureal round them, which will go on improving with age. It is
of course greatly helped by the type of paper used, the ink, and
the slight ‘burr’ left on the lines...This plate was printed cold, ragwiped
but not retroussé, and went once through the press...” John
Buckland Wright quoted in Pertelote.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS
These Conditions of Sale and Business constitute the contract
between Bloomsbury Auctions (the “Auctioneer”) and the
seller, on the one hand, and the buyer on the other. By bidding
at the auction, you agree to be bound by these terms.
inFORMATiOn FOR BUYeRS
1. introduction.
The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers,
particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales
are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily
available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our
staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully
understand.
2. Agency.
As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose
identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed.
Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.
3. estimates.
Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum
might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower
estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not
be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT
(where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the
sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are
in no sense definitive.
4. Buyer’s Premium.
The Buyer agrees to pay a buyer’s premiumon the hammer price of
each lot purchased. The buyer’s premium is 22% (26.4% including
VAT) of the hammer price on each lot up to and including
£300,000 plus 12% (14.4% including VAT) for any amount in excess
of £300,000.
5. vAT. (*)
indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate
(presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as being an element in
the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because
the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not
operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20%
on importation into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that
the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and
the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of
VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the
buyer’s premium). Lots which appear without either of the above
symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This
is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme
and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is
not recoverable as input tax.
6. Descriptions and Conditions.
Condition reports are provided on our web site or upon request.
The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without
imperfections. The detail in a report will reflect the estimated
value of the lot, and large numbers of such requests received
shortly before the sale may not receive a response to all lots.
Members of staff are not trained restorers or conservators and,
particularly for higher value lots, you should obtain an opinion
from such a professional. We recommend that you always view
a lot in person.
We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on
information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots
and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are
normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots
in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be
wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity
for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for
inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested.
Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of
lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we,
as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In
particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be
in working order. However, in so far as we have examined the goods
and make a representation about their condition, we shall be liable
for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed to
the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the
buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified
circumstances lots misdescribed because they are ‘deliberate
forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 3 week
time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our
Conditions of Sale).
7. electrical goods.
These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be
checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified
electrician first.
8. export of goods.
Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether
an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific
prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g.
they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you
need help.
9. Bidding.
Bidders may be required to register before the sale commences and
lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration
form. Some form of identification may be required if you are
unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements
for telephone bidding.
10. Commission bidding.
Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the
maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be
executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any)
and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids
the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in
advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids
by telephone or FAX.

11. Methods of Payment.
Any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of
the goods is permitted. The following methods of payment are
acceptable:
Sterling cheque to be drawn on a UK bank and made payable
to ‘Bloomsbury Auctions’. It will be necessary to allow at least
five working days for the cheque to clear before collecting your
purchases.
Bank transfer. All transfers must state the relevant sale number,
lot number and your bid / paddle number. If transferring from a
foreign currency, the amount we receive must be the total due in
pounds sterling (after currency conversion and the deduction of
any bank charges). Our bank details can be found on the reverse
of your invoice or in the sale catalogue under ‘Important Notices’
Debit cards drawn on a UK bank. There is no additional charge for
purchases made with these cards. Debit cards drawn on an overseas
bank or deferred debit cards will be subject to a 3% surcharge.
Sterling cash payments of up to £8,000 and debit cards payments
can be made at the Cashier’s Office, either during or after the sale.
12. Collection and storage.
Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection
and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and
collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying
storage charges.
13. Droit de suite royalty charges.
From 14th February 2006 all UK art market professionals (which
includes, but is not limited to; auctioneers, dealers, galleries, agents
and other intermediaries) are required to collect a royalty payment
for all works of art that have been produced by living artists. This
payment is only calculated on qualifying works of art which are
sold for a hammer price more than the UK sterling equivalent of
EURO 1,000 – the UK sterling equivalent will fluctuate in line with
prevailing exchange rates.
It is entirely the responsibility of the buyer to acquaint himself with
the precise EURO to UK Sterling exchange rate on the day of the
sale in this regard, and the auctioneer accepts no responsibility
whatsoever if the qualifying rate is different to the rate indicated.
All items in this catalogue that are marked with δ are potentially
qualifying items, and the royalty charge will be applied if the
hammer price achieved is more than the UK sterling equivalent of
EURO 1,000.The royalty charge will be added to all relevant buyers’
invoices, and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty
charges are passed on to the Design and Artists Copyright Society
(‘DACS’), no handling costs or additional fees with respect to these
charges will be retained by the auctioneers.
The royalty charge that will be applied to qualifying items which
achieve a hammer price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of
EURO 1,000, but less than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 50,000
is 4%. For qualifying items that sell for more than the UK sterling
equivalent of EURO 50,000 a sliding scale of royalty charges will apply
– for a complete list of the royalty charges and threshold levels, please
see www.dacs.org.uk. There is no VAT payable on this royalty charge.
TeRMS OF COnSiGnMenT FOR SeLLeRS
1. interpretation.
In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to the Seller and if the
consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that
the Seller has authorised the consignment and that the consignor
has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’, ‘us’, etc.
refer to the Auctioneers.
2. Commission
Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates:- please
enquire at our salerooms.
3. Removal costs.
Items for sale must be consigned to the sale room by any stated
deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with
this process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges
is solely your responsibility.
4. Loss and damage of goods.
(a) Bloomsbury Auctions is not authorised by the FSA to provide
insurance to it’s clients, and does not do so. However Bloomsbury
Auctions for it’s own protection, assumes liability for property
consigned to it at the lower pre-sale estimate until the hammer falls.
To justify accepting liablilty, Bloomsbury Auctions makes a charge of
1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT, subject to a minmum charge of
£1.50, or if unsold 1.5% of our lower estimate. The liability assumed by
Bloomsbury Auctions shall be limited to the lower pre-sale estimate
or the hammer price if the lot is sold.
(b) If the owner of the goods consigned instructs us in writng not to take
such action, the goods then remain entirely at the owners risk unless and
until the property in them passes to the Buyer or they are collected by or
on behalf of the owner, and clause 4 (a) is inapplicable le
5. illustrations.
The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the
Lot should be illustrated your permission will be asked first. The
copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us,
the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue.
6. Minimum bids and our discretion.
goods will normally be offered subject to a reserve agreed between
us before the sale in accordance with clause 7. We may sell Lots
below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale
proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been the
hammer price. If you specifically give us a “discretion” we may accept
a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve.
7. Reserves.
(a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lot
consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may
be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer
goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably
high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and insurance
charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment).
(b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent.
(c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf
and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances
bid personally.

8. electrical items.
These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such
items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of
testing by external contractors. goods not certified as safe by an
electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must
be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the
right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.
9. Soft furnishings.
The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the
interests of fire safety. goods found to infringe safety regulations will
not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve
the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.
The rights of disposal referred to in clause 8 and 9 are subject to the
provisions of The Torts (Interference with goods) Act 1977, Schedule
1, a copy of which is available for inspection on request
10. Descriptions.
Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance
etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the
accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and
in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies
occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue
description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where
we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a
deliberate forgery under Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and
we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to
reimburse us the sale proceeds.
11. Unsold and withdrawn items.
If an item is unsold it may with your consent be re-offered at
a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you
must collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being
so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred. We
reserve the right to charge for storage in these circumstances at a
reasonable daily rate.
12. Withdrawn and bought in items.
These are liable to incur a charge of 15 % plus VAT on being bought
in or withdrawn after being catalogued.
13. Conditions of Sale.
You agree that all goods will be sold on our Conditions of Sale. In
particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods
either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate
us and any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses
incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking.
We will also, at our discretion, and as far as practicable, confirm that
an item consigned for sale does not appear on the Art Loss register,
which is administered by an independent third party.
14. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain
premium and interest.
(a) You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and
all expenses incurred for your account from the hammer price and
consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the
buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest
earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement.
(b) You authorise us in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private
treaty not later than the close of business 48 hours after the day of
sale in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same
charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and
so far as appropriate these Terms apply
15. Warehousing.
We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom
without sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make
minimum warehousing charge of £10 per lot per day. Unsold lots
are subject to the same charges if you do not remove them within
a reasonable time of notification. If not removed within three
weeks we reserve the right to sell them and defray charges from
any net proceeds of sale or at your expense to consign them to
the local authority for disposal.
16. Settlement.
After sale settlement of the net sum due to you normally takes
place within 28 days of the sale (by crossed cheque to the seller)
unless the buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no
settlement will then be made but we will take your instructions in
the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed
by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale
proceeds. You must note the liability to reimburse the proceeds
of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition
10 above. You should therefore bear this potential liability in mind
before parting with the proceeds of sale until the expiry of 28 days
from the date of sale.

of deceiving as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or

and to satisfy any security arrangements before entering the auction
room to view or bid;
(b) the maker of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer
conducting the sale shall be the buyer at the hammer price and
any dispute about a bid shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute
discretion by reoffering the Lot during the course of the auction
or otherwise. The auctioneer shall act reasonably in exercising this
discretion.
(c) Bidders shall be deemed to act as principals.

5. value Added Tax.
Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all
items affixed with an asterisk or double asterisk. Value Added Tax
is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date
of sale and is payable by buyers of relevant Lots. (Please refer to
“Information for Buyers” for a brief explanation of the VAT position).
6. Payment.
(1) Immediately a Lot is sold you will:
(a) give to us, if requested, proof of identity, and
(b) pay to us the total amount due or in such other way as is agreed
by us.
(2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any
sums owing from you to us on any account whatever without
regard to any directions of you or your agent, whether express or
implied.
(3) Buyers who utilise the services of ATg Live Auctions or any
other live internet services are hereby informed that the payment
method details that are provided to ATg Live Auctions or any other
live internet services as part of the process of registration will, in the
absence of compliance with paragraph (1) of this clause, be utilised
by us to settle any amounts owing by such buyers to us.

you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due.
(2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that

cheque used for payment after which you shall be responsible for
any removal, storage and insurance charges.
(3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.
(4) Bloomsbury Auctions can accommodate packing and shipping
for certain items. For lots they are unable to provide this service for,
successful buyers must make these arrangements independently,
though the saleroom may be able to suggest specialist
shipping companies who can advise buyers, this advice is not a
recommendation and the saleroom is not liable for any aspect of
the packaging and shipping process. Please note that the cost of
packaging and shipping depends on the size/weight of the item(s)
purchased, insurance requirements, and the shipping destination,
not on the value of the item(s) purchased. Please note that any items
not collected within one week of the sale date may be automatically
removed to commercial storage and subject to a storage charge.
8. Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases.
(1) If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance
with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these

at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights
we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following
rights and remedies:
(a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract;
(b) to rescind the sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by us
to you;
(c) to resell the Lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you
shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount
due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs).
Any surplus so arising shall belong to the seller;
(d) to remove, store and insure the Lot at your expense and, in the
case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere;
(e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month on the
total amount due to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 3
working days after the sale;
(f ) to retain that or any other Lot sold to you until you pay the total
amount due;
(g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions
or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted;
(h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other Lots due or in future
becoming due to you towards the settlement of the total amount
due and to exercise a lien (that is a right to retain possession of ) any
of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt
due is satisfied.
(2) We shall, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf pursue
these rights and remedies only so far as is reasonable to make
appropriate recovery in respect of breach of these conditions
9. Third party liability.
All members of the public on our premises are there at their own
risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security
arrangements. Accordingly neither the auctioneer nor our employees
or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as
required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety
of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.

10. Commission bids.
Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction
and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular
Lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied
themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in
writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our
employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so
save where such failure is unreasonable.
Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded
we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid
so made.
11. Warranty of title and availability.
The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the
true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by
the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and
marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.
12. Agency.
The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any
responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.
13. Terms of sale.
The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the
stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms
of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry
of the Lot.
14. Descriptions and condition.
(1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical
for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective
buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before
any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf )
must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description
applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding
that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship,
genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated
selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such
opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability
for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the
foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents
nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions
and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description,
condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby
excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition
concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in
paragraph 6 “information to buyers”.
(2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to
be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.
15. Forgeries.
Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to
be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may bereturned to us by you
within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition
as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it
from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement
of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the
Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you
for the Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the
catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and
experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to
transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights
under this condition.
The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any
right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.
General,
16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to
our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.
17. (1) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and
expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of
these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be
available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.
(2). Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to
be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the
auctioneer who may themselves enforce them.
18. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by
first class mail, email or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed
to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.
19. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular
classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted
in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement
of the catalogue.
20. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us
notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the
Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time
only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other
respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force
and effect.
21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
