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.
Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfect
condition and some descriptions in the catalogue, or given by way of
condition report (made either orally or in writing), make reference to
damage and/or restoration. We provide this information for guidance
only and 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.
collation of Books
If, on collation, any NAMED items in this catalogue prove defective, in
text or illustration, the purchaser may reject the lot provided he returns
it within fourteen days stating the defect in writing. This however will
not apply in the case of un-named items, periodicals, autograph letters,
manuscripts, music, maps, atlases, prints or drawings, nor in respect of
damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal wormholes or other defects
not aff ecting the completeness of the text, nor in respect of lack of list
of plates, inserted advertisements, cancels or subsequently published
volumes, supplements, appendices or plates or error in the enumerating
of the plates, nor in respect of defects mentioned in the catalogue or
announced at the time of sale.

artist’s Resale Rights (“Droit de suite”)
Lots marked with an delta symbol (δ) are subject to the Artist’s
Resale Right Law.The buyer agrees to pay Bloomsbury Auctions 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
Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of
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
Zero-rated items such as books, unframed maps and albums are not
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.

We undertake valuations for Probate and Insurance, fees being agreed by
prior arrangement. If items are subsequently consigned for sale, the fees
will be refunded.

*** Nearly all known Chinese oracle bones derive from a single
site, Xiaotun, near the ancient capital of the Late Shang Dynasty of
Anyang. The texts found on them record the oracular interpretation
of the pattern of cracks on the bone formed by the application of
extreme heat and are the earliest preserved evidence of the use of
Chinese script in complete meaningful sentences. They are thought
to date from the 14th to the 12th century B.C. and to belong to a
royal archive of oracular records.

by a private dwelling, of which Sir John Scott of Scotstarvit wrote:
‘And the father and son did so metamorphose the buildings that it
cannot be known that ever it did belong to the church, by reason of
the fair new fabric and stately edifices built thereon... instead of the
old monks has succeeded the deer’. (J. Scott. The Staggering State
of Scottish Statesmen, 1754.). - Oxford DNB.

clear that the prime responsibility must have lain with his deputy,
de Storff. The above warrant commissions de Storff to “goe to
Kinsale... to designe ye said Fort...”. The fort became one of the
largest military installations in the country, and has been associated
with some of the most momentous events in Irish history including
the Williamite War of 1689-91 and the Irish Civil War 1922-23.

This letter is rather characteristic of Charles II’s personality. Written
in an open and friendly manner, its purpose is veiled and its meaning
unclear. Sidney had strong links with the Temple family, he courted
Anne Temple as a youth, and it is possible that he is using Sidney as
a messenger between himself and Sir William Temple. Ostensibly
in retirement, Temple, a long standing politician and diplomat had
been removed from the privy council and as ambassador to Spain
in 1681 and this letter may perhaps be an assurance from the king
of future favour if the clandestime nature of the “designes in Paris”
are successful. Mr Savil is Henry Savile, a friend of Sidney.

beginning with an account of the taxes that Molesworth has
collected for delivery to the authorities, even though he has heard
that he is under suspicion from the government in England: one
Mr Constable who is now “at ye wreck... hath threatened me very
severely for Limitting ye Ks. dues to a Tenth”, and the political
situation on the island, obviously changed in its fundamentals by
the arrival of a hard-drinking, fortune-seeking and highly malleable
new Governor, the duke of Albermarle. Sir he n ry mo r g a n iS
m e n t i o n e d S e v e r a l t i m e S in t h i S l e t t e r. It seems that a council
meeting had been held by Albermarle the previous night, and one
of the topics had been “to have ye Cause inquired into, for wch Sir
Harry Morgan &c. was secluded from all offices & my Lord Duke
having declar’d, that he was to make all ffriends’s, he was then
told, that to re-examine ye matter, as to all Circumstances, would
beget new feu’ds”, but on this occasion Morgan was listened to and
rehabilitated, “It was further added that it [was] now more than
4 yeares past... Wherefore ye Councell advis’d, that, rather than
renew old Quarrells, his Grace would be pleased to recomend Sir
H[ar]ry as favourably as he thought fit, there being none yt would
oppose it”, stained, folds, browned. £1,000 - £1,500
*** Sir Hender Molesworth was acting Governor of Jamaica in 1684-8
and again in 1688-89. His replacement in the interim was occasioned
by the presence on the island of the ineffectual Christopher Monck,
second duke of Albermarle who came out to the island in December
1687, shortly before this letter was written. Albermarle’s purpose
was to make his fortune by recovering the treasure from a sunken
Spanish galleon; but he was soon embroiled in disputes occasioned
by the activities of the privateers who lived on and used the island.
Most notorious amongst these was Sir Henry Morgan who had by
this stage of his life gained some element of respectability - he had
even acted as Governor himself, on several occasions.

“... Whitefield... made his first tour in Scotland, from July to October
1741, the first of fourteen visits. Ralph and Ebenezer Erskine,
leaders of the breakaway Associate Presbytery, had constantly urged
him to come, but upon arrival he discovered that this sect claimed
a Christian monopoly and insisted he preach only in their churches.
When he refused, they fell upon him mercilessly, branding him a
sorcerer, ‘a poor, vain-glorious, self-seeking, puffed-up creature’,
‘a limb of AntiChrist: a boar, and a wild beast’ (Tyerman, 2.11).
While in Scotland he took collections to help pay Bethesda debts.
That, and the hysteria of many of his open-air preachings, induced
the publication in Edinburgh and Glasgow of seven bitter attacks.”

and North Wales.The Rev. William Hony married Margaret Earle
of Oxfordshire in 1827, and they had five daughters who never
married and two sons. The sisters lived together in Baverstock
Vicarage for some fifty years until William’s death in 1875, when
they moved, first to Ladycross Lodge in the New Forest, and then to
Eling Manor on the outskirts of Southampton., where they lived out
the remainder of their long lives. The eldest daughter Margaret was
a talented amateur artist, and the other sisters did some sketching
when young as was the fashion at the time. Their mother Margaret
had also been a fine artist, and all of them compiled albums of their
sketches. The later lives of these spinster ladies has been described
in detail by one of their nieces Ida Gandy in her book Staying with
the Aunts, 1963. Ida describes how these volumes were displayed
on Sundays at Eling Manor, “albums with padded leather covers lay
about on small tables. Aunt Margaret woujld open one filled with
my grandmother’s drawings. ‘Look at her fine, beautiful lines’,
she would say reverently. To us, who learned from our village
schoolmaster to draw largely and boldly, these sketches seemed
too faint and too squiggly. But of course we never said so, and now
I can see a beauty in them unrecognised then... .”

day, surpassed only by those of Earl Spencer, the duke of Devonshire,
and the duke of Buckingham. Seymour de Ricci wrote that she was
‘England’s first female bibliophile’ (De Ricci, 141). Frances Currer
was shy, and her deafness, which increased with age, explains her
somewhat secluded life at Eshton Hall. But she was not a recluse,
being ‘renowned for her generosity to all kinds of charity’ (Barker,
105), which included the Keighley Mechanics’ Insitution and the
new school at Cowan Bridge, attended by the Brontë sisters. it iS

Dickens’ last ever recital in 1870.
“It is scarcely necessary for Messrs. Chappell and Co. to add
that any announcement made in connexion with these Farewell
Readings will be strictly adhered to and considered final; and
that on no consideration whatever will Mr. Dickens be induced to
appoint an extra night in any place in which he shall have been
once announced to read for the last time.” - Pamphlet.
It is not too much of an exaggeration to say that these readings
killed Charles Dickens. In declining health he did not so much read
as perform episodes from his novels and the effort he put into these
appearances caused at least one stroke and probably contributed to
another, which killed him in 1870 at the age of 58.

*** a f i n e S e r i e S o f l e t t e r S d e S C r i b i n g t h e Cr i m e a n wa r. Ward has
no compunction in pointing out the shortcomings of the generals
commanding the army and the truth about conditions in the Crimea
making these letters a valuable source for the historian.
(1). rat S . “Our chief enemies at this moment are rats, and they
annoy us exceedingly! The Crimean rat seems to be a most
audacious brute, he has no respect for persons or things, he eats
everything he can get at, and he fights and squeals, and runs over
one, as one is lying in bed, without the smallest compunction.
My men are quite afraid of them, and my late Sergeant Major
(John Sweeney), a great stout man of 6 feet 3 inches and broad in
proportion with a tremendous black beard and who has just been
promoted to a Cornetcy in the Land Transport Corps brought me
home a wonderful story one night being attacked on his road home
from Headquarters, by hundreds of these animals, and being fairly
put to flight. He really grew quite pale in telling the tale!... .”
(2).Ch o l e r a. “What is far more to be feared than the Russians is
that dreadful Cholera which is already showing itself in our army.
The guards have lost a great many of the men lately arrived from
England... .”
(3). Si e g e o f Se b a S t o p o l. “You mention you were beginning to feel
excited on account of a despatch from Genl. Simpson announcing
that he intended opening fire on the Redan the following day, dated
July 9th I certainly do not think that General Simpson showed
very great discretion in parading such a message. To announce
beforehand a projected attack could be of no profitable service, &
it must always sure to augment the suspense and anxiety of those
who have friends in the trenches.” [Ward blithely ignores the affect
that his letters might be having on his parents].
(4). ph o t o g r a p h e r S. “We have had several photographers here, but
I think they have confined themselves too much to taking likenesses
of individuals in the British Army who put themselves into all kinds
of... postures, to be paraded in England as Crimean heroes... There
have indeed been some most interesting photographs made by a
man of the name of Robertson of Constantinople, of the different
views of Sebastopol taken since the place has fallen.”
(5). ru S S i a n So l d i e r S. “From the appearance of the killed and
wounded, I could not form a very great idea of the Russian Soldier.
They were all very badly clothed and were almost all of them
old men... or quite boys. A prisoner taken by the Sardinians and
examined in my presence stated that they had been marching for
several days, with little or nothing to drink.”

(6). lo r d ra g l a n. “He [Sir Colin Campbell] had a very witty saying,
when speaking on the subject of Lord Raglan. The saying which he
kept repeating to me (at least a dozen times), accompanied by a
hoarse laugh, was to the effect that he had been done out of his 18
pounder guns by a ‘Damned red headed, oily tongued fellow from
Woolwich’ which he told me he meant it as a dig at his Lordship,
and he [Raglan] was nearly as red headed as I was, and that he
was the Master General of Woolwich. All seem to agree in thinking
the said Sir Colin, a great humbug but believed he meant nothing
but jest, of course I did not care either, as long as I gained my
Lot 160
point. As I went away, he laughed heartily and told me that I had
done him again, and that it was impossible to refuse me anything.
Joking apart however such scenes as these cannot fail to show that
the mismanagement’s so often complained of has not been over
exaggerated... .”
(7). fl o r e n C e ni g h t i n g a l e. “We have again had snow and biting
cold winds from the N.E., but today it is much milder. Miss
Nightingale is here once more, and I understand that she threatens
to pay a visit to my hospital during the present week... .”

*** Bazzett Michael Haggard, brother of Henry Rider Haggard,
British Land Commissioner in Apia, Samoa. Objects of Pity was
conceived as a response to An Object of Pity, written by Robert
Louis Stevenson and others, in which Haggard featured as the
central character. Stevenson himself features pseudonymously
as Tusitala ‘The Writer of Tales’ in the present work. ‘Stevenson
insisted on having it printed and took it to Sydney and had it printed.
I was riled at being called “an object of Pity” rather; so set to and
gave them a Roland for their Oliver.’ - Bazzett M. Haggard. The
book appears to have been taken to the printers rather prematurely
and all copies appear with the author’s autograph corrections.

❦ Photographs
The Property of a Gentleman
A collection of architectural photographs acquired since the 1960s. The collector, an art historian, has a profound knowledge
of the architecture of Rome and set out to record the changing face of the city between 1850 and 1880. Perceptive
pencil notes on the mounts, based solely on internal evidence, enable many of the photographs to be more accurately dated
than hitherto. Here, for example, are his observations on a view of St Peter’s Square: “After 1854 (glazing of lower loggia),
before c.1860 (Vatican Palace clock still present), probably c.1858-60 (second type of lamp post base).”

*** Taken from the basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli at the
top of the Capitoline Hill. In the left foreground of the first part
is the building of the Stabilimento Fotografico dei Campidoglio
and the eighth part extends to the Colosseum. Details of two prints
are reproduced, uncredited, in V.Cianfarani, Immagini Romane,
1976, pls 84 and 102. The labels with titles and reference numbers
appear to be those issued with photographs published by John
Henry Parker but the present numbers in his 1879 catalogue are
quite different subjects. (Curiously, no.582 is a “General View of
Rome from the Monastery of Ara Coeli”.) The present owner has
attributed the set to Michele Mang ; another possible candidate is
the Canadian Charles Smeaton who photographed several singlesheet
panoramas for Parker.

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 £12,000 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 1st January 2012 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 qualifying artists
each time a work is re-sold during the artist’s lifetime and for a
period up to 70 years following the artists death.
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% commission, 1.5 % Loss
and Damage Warranty and any other costs incurred including but
not limited to illustration and restoration fees all of these charges
being subject to 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.

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
you have purchased and paid for not later than 3 working days

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
Conditions, we, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf, shall
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.
