[AMERICAN REVOLUTION - NAVAL LOG BOOK] 

War-Date Manuscript Log for the Continental Navy Flagship Alfred. 

Boston-France-Cape Verde: 25 January 

1777 - 24 February 1778. Contemporary 

limp vellum with early stitching. 10 1/4 x 7 

3/4 inches (26 x 20 cm); 52 pp. manuscript in 

ink in the hand of pursar Nathaniel Richards 

(comprising 19 pp. of daily entries of the 

ship’s activity, weather conditions, etc; 14 

pp. of prepared and dated space for 

entries but unaccomplished; and 19 pp. of 

contemporary song lyrics, presumably for 

enjoyment on board). Some staining and 

discolor to vellum, intermittent spotting or 

small stains internally, remarkably well 

preserved given its use on board ship. 

An extremely rare class of Revolutionary 

Americana: the manuscript ship’s log for the 

third voyage of the Alfred, the first flagship 

of the newly established Continental Navy. 

In October 1775, the Continental Congress 

ordered the purchase of four ships, one of 

which was the Philadelphia built Black Prince 

that was laboriously refitted into a warship 

and rechristened the Alfred. The newly 

minted American Navy was vastly inferior to 

the highly armed and experienced English 

fleet that would occupy Boston, New York 

and other major American harbors in the 

months to come. Thus the early missions of 

the Alfred were not only to to harass and 

capture British warships and merchant 

vessels carrying much needed ammunition 

and supplies, but also to venture into 

Caribbean and European waters in search 

of the same. The Alfred’s first voyage (the 

United States’ first amphibious mission) was 

the capture of gunpowder stores in the 

Bahamas at the Battle of Nassau. Upon 

return, the Alfred underwent repairs, John 

Paul Jones was placed in command, and the 

ship saw significant action off Nova Scotia 

before returning to Boston for another major 

refit in December 1776. 

The current manuscript’s first entry dated 

January 1777 reports Elisha Hindman taking 

command of the ship and continues to track 

the Alfred on its third voyage to France 

alongside the Raleigh. The text is in the 

hand of the ship’s pursar, Nathaniel Richards, 

whose brother Peter was also on board as 

First Lieutenant. In the margins Richards 

notes captured British ships as “1st Prize” 

(“Saw a schooner ... gave chace ... came up 

with her... she proved to be the Delight... 

from New York bound to Annapolis Royal 

in Nova-Scotia took out of her some bread, 

pork, flower then set her on fire”), “2nd 

Prize” being a ship separated from a large 

convoy (the Snow Anny... bound from 

St. Vincent for London in Company with the 

Windward Island Fleet... 28 guns & 2 sloops 

of 16 guns each; she parted with them 2 

days since... we put 4 men on board and 

sent her off for America”). Two days later 

one of the longer entries describes the 

Raleigh’s engagement with the Druid: “... 

went alongside one of the sloops of war, 

fired 7 or 8 broadsides into her which 

carried away her yards & rigging entirely and 

damaged her so much in the hull ... she was 

not able to set any sail ... the Raleigh in the 

action had one boy killed ...” Alfred reached 

France in October and the log resumes in 

December and records chasing down 

several ships including one “off Sennegall 

Fort ... laden with wine.” Other on board 

business recorded here includes having 

“punished two negroes for desertion” and 

the July 4, 1777 celebration in which they 

“Dressed ship & fired 13 guns, the forts 

& vessels the same in honor of American 

Independence.” The final entry in the diary 

records the sighting of the Island of Brava, in 

the Cape Verde Islands on the Alfred’s return 

voyage to the United States. Of note are the 

manuscript lyrics to approximately thirteen 

songs which are at the end of the log. 

American naval manuscripts from the 

Revolution are extremely scarce in 

commerce. While documents and letters 

appear occasionally at auction, ABPC 

reports no record of such a substantial 

manuscript written on board a major 

American ship being sold at auction.

[NAVAL - WAR OF 1812] 

Group of six watercolors by Christopher O’Brien, surgeon of the H.M.S. Racoon, rendered in ink and watercolor 

on W. Tucker paper with an 1812 watermark, two drawings prominently signed by O’Brien. The subjects include 

The Capture of the American Frigate Essex by H.M.S. Phoebe & Cherub off Valparaiso, Chile; Fort Santa Cruz at the 

Bastrone of Rio Janeiro; The perilous situation of H.M.S. Racoon striking on the bar of the Cauca River Columbia 

31 Dec. 1813; Forte Villegagnon, Rio de Janeiro (signed, dated January 1815); H.M.S. Racoon off Cape Horn 6th 

December 1814 (signed by O’Brien); and H.M.S. Racoon, Marlborough and Dotterell chasing L’Elenora, French 

Privateer. Images laid to old card, some toning but generally in sound condition. 

Given the date of the watermark, it seems likely that these drawings originated in a logbook or sketchbook kept by 

O’Brien on board the Racoon, purchased the year of the voyage. The Racoon was an 18-gun sloop, active in South 

American waters from 1812 on. The action with the Essex, shown in dramatic detail in the first of the images listed, 

is often referred to as the Battle of Valparaiso. The Essex and the Essex Junior had been raiding the English whaling 

fleet for a year during the War of 1812. David Farragut, the future United States admiral, served as a midshipman 

on the Essex during the battle, and Herman Melville criticized the American commander, Captain David Porter, for 

not striking the flag on the Essex in a hopeless situation and for continuing the battle in conditions which led to the 

death or injury of a large part of her crew. The American vessel is shown with flags raised reading “God and Country 

Tyrants Offend” and “Free Trade and Sailor’s Rights” while one of the English vessels bears a signal “Traitors Offend 

them Both.” 

Overall, these six images provide a compelling, if partial, narrative of the expedition, whose main intention was to 

attack the Pacific Fur Company, a rival to the Montreal-based North West Company. However, the mere presence 

of the English ships forced the sale of Pacific Fur to North West, so there was a peaceful resolution to the matter.

homeruns during the Mets upset victory over the Yankees in the 1968 Mayor’s Cup. 

Condition quite good overall, the signed baseballs with faded signatures although 

one Seaver signature quite bold, the scarce child’s uniform in excellent condition. 

The archive offered here was collected by a young bookkeeper who worked for 

the Mets during their first few seasons. This assembly of early Mets ephemera is 

remarkable, and many of the players represented here would go on to win the 

World Series as part of the against-all-odds 1969 Miracle Mets squad and would 

eventually be admitted to the Baseball Hall of Fame (Ryan, Seaver, Mays, Berra, 

Stengel, etc).

Masters is a notable Union Lieutentant from the 55th New York 

Volunteers who famously escaped Confederate capture three times 

during the Civil War. This diary contains a pencil self-portrait of 

Masters followed by a 13 pp. pencil narrative of his capture and 

march to a “Richmond VA Tobacco Warehouse at present occupied 

by a Union Prison” (Libby Prison). In this narrative Masters further 

mentions Fitzhugh Lee, Jefferson Davis and “Genl Stewart who was

with anticipation of escaping. Other contents of the journal include 

a “List of Officers in Pope’s Army Confimed in Richmond Prison,” 

prisoner exchange information, and a drafted letter to the Union 

agent of prisoner exchange on behalf of captured soldiers

with red titling label on spine. 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches (13.5 x 8 cm); 

various paginations. Binding quite rubbed, internally some toning 

but generally clean, sound copies. 

1. [MATHER, COTTON]. Nicetas. Or, Temptations to sin, and 

particularly to the sin wherewith youth is most usually and 

easily ensnared; well answered & conquered. In a sermon, 

directing and engaging young people, to the resolutions of 

early piety. Timothy Green: Boston, 1705. 44 pp., collating A-E 4 

F 4 (-F2, F3, cancelled duplicate leaves). Joseph Sewall’s copy; 

his name in ink at the foot of the final page, with a further 

inscription (unfortunately trimmed and illegible). Sewall was

duties and the comforts, of good men, under their afflictions

In all, an exceptional collection of Colonial American sermons 

with a fine provenance, several of which are of the utmost rarity. 

Sewall gave books to Harvard after the 1764 library fire, and was 

a substantial benefactor to the school. Mather’s Nicetas is a rare 

juvenile desideratum, intended as it was for a young audience. 

Perhaps as a consequence of juvenile use, it is very rare (we note 

three copies only in institutions). Respectively these works are 

Evans 1218; 992; 2906; 2769; 3861; 4834; and 1581.

LEE, ROBERT E. 

Autograph letter signed to cousin Sally Lee gifting a lock of his hair, present in a near contemporary gold pendant. 

Lexington, VA: 12 September 1870. 1 page autograph 

letter signed “RE Lee” to cousin Sally Lee sending 

“a lock of my hair as you requested, its diminutive size 

is caused by the inroads of time, not the assaults of my 

countrywomen as you infer”, and sending regards to 

family members. 9 5/8 x 7 5/8 (24 x 19.5 cm). Usual 

folds, tipped at corners to mount, the locket and letter 

in a shadowbox frame. 

The lock of hair now housed in a near contemporary 

pendant with a second lock of hair dating from the 

Mexican War era (see note below). The pendant of 

14 Kt. gold decorated on its front with a cut glass jewel 

at top and surrounded by floral motifs in variegated gold 

in four colors (pink, yellow, white, green), the central glass 

panel has a decorative blue enamel “L”, and the back 

of the pendant is hand-engraved at top “Lee”. It is further 

engraved with the Lee family motto taken from the 

headstone of Robert E. Lee’s father Henry “Light-Horse 

Harry” Lee: “With faith untouched, spotless and clear 

his fame, So pure that envy could not wrong the same.” 

The pendant hangs from a 9 Kt. gold 21 inch slide-chain, 

the slide with a decorative “L” and two cut glass jewels. 

Together with an 1891 letter from Cassius Francis 

Lee, Jr. describing the pendant and attesting to 

the provenance of its contents. In the letter, 

headed “Medallion given to Lucy on her return from 

School - June 10, 1891,” Cassius Francis Lee, Jr. attests 

that the “hair that forms the circle - black hair - was cut 

from Genl. Lee’s head by my aunt Sally about the time of 

his return from the Mexican War ... which she gave to me 

over 20 years ago” and continues “the grey hair in the 

center is from a lock sent by the General himself to my 

sister Sally ... just one month to the day before his death, 

and which she gave to me. The letter of Genl. Lee which 

goes with this memorandum attests this fact.” This letter 

tipped to matting. 

A remarkable Robert E. Lee artifact, a Lee family pendant 

containing strands of the General’s hair from both the 

Mexican and Civil War eras. 

Provenance: 

Robert E. Lee to Sally Lee 

Sally Lee to her brother Cassius Francis Lee, Jr. (pairing 

the earlier lock of hair with the latter in the pendant) 

to his daughter Lucy [Lucy Lyons Lee] 

By descent to the current consignor 

Cassius Francis Lee, Jr. (1844-92), according to Edmund 

Jennings Lee’s 1895 Lee of Virginia 1642-1892, is 

remembered as taking “the greatest interest in all that 

pertained to the history of his family, and for years had 

been collecting wills, deeds, letters and all manner of 

geneological data. Had his life been spared, he would

with a lengthy postscript in Eustis’ hand. 9 x 7 1/4 inches

mounting to left margin, some light staining. The letter 

was published in Boston in 1869 as The assassination plot 

in New-York in 1776: A letter of Dr. William Eustis ...; Together 

with an 1876 newspaper printing of the letter. 

An emotional and descriptive account of the 1776 attempt 

on Washington’s life in New York. Eustis informs Townsend 

of the “infernal plot to have murdered, (with trembling I 

say it) the best man on Earth: Genl Washington was to have 

been the first subject of their unheard of Sacricide.” Eustis 

continues, mentioning other aspects of the “diabolical” 

plot such as further assassinations and the blowing up 

of the gunpowder magazines. Eustis describes the perpetrators 

of the plot as being members of Washington’s 

personal life-guard and that once discovered “we are 

hanging them as fast as we can find them out.” Eustis then 

describes the hanging of Thomas Hickey (the ntirety of the 

plan is often referred to as the Hickey Plot), the Irish-born 

British army deserter and member of Washington’s lifeguard 

who was quickly tried and hung in front of 20,000 

spectators on the day this letter was penned. Hickey is the 

only known conspirator to be hung for this plot and was 

also the first American soldier in in the Continental Army 

to be executed. The letter closes with comments on the 

fighting at Quebec and mention that “General Howe 

lays at the Hook with a number of troops; how many is 

uncertain” but in a very dramatic turn Eustis resumes the 

letter on July 1st with a startling description of the arrival 

of the British fleet. He writes “we have counted 140 topsail 

vessels, some say there are 160. I think we must very soon 

come to action. The Flower of our Reg. is picked for a field 

fight which I imagine will take place on Long Island. Heaven

The full text as follows: 

Philadelphia Dec. 10th 1783 

Dear Sir, 

After seeing the backs of the British Forces turned upon us, and 

the Executive of the State of New York put into the peaceable 

possession of their Capitol, I set out for this place. On Monday next 

I expect to leave the City and by slow traveling arrive at Baltimore

I am yr affect 

Go: Washington. 

George Washington’s wartime aide-de-camp James McHenry of 

Maryland served as a delegate to the Continental Congress and was 

a signer of the United States Constitution. He was the United States 

Secretary of War from 1796 until 1800 under both Presidents George 

Washington and John Adams. The namesake of Fort McHenry in 

Baltimore, it was the bombardment of the fort by British warships on 

the night of September 13th, 1814 that inspired Francis Scott Key 

to write The Star-Spangled Banner, the original title of which was 

Defence of Fort McHenry. 

Provenance: 

George Washington to James McHenry; 

Sold in the auction of James McHenry’s papers to benefit the 

Maryland Institution for the Instruction of the Blind. The auction, 

Autograph Letters of Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson 

and Harrison, etc, was conducted by Gibson & Co., Auctioneers on 

December 15th, 1859. Three annotated copies of this catalogue

A MAGNIFICENT LETTER WITH A DISTINGUISHED AMERICAN 

PROVENANCE. WASHINGTON WRITES IN HIS FINAL DAYS 

AS CONTINENTAL COMMANDER TO WARTIME AIDE AND 

CONFIDANT JAMES McHENRY REPORTING VICTORY OVER 

THE BRITISH, THE RESTORATION OF NEW YORK, AND HIS 

INTENTION TO RETIRE FROM PUBLIC SERVICE. 

After the signing of the Treaty of Paris, the gargantuan task of 

removing the 29,000 British soldiers, citizens, refugees and military 

property crowding Manhattan island and New York harbor took place 

on November 25th, 1783. Washington watched the events of that 

day from New Jersey and did not enter the city until the British flag 

was removed and the American flag raised. He then led a triumphant 

parade down Broadway alongside Governor George Clinton, a strong 

symbol of restored sovereignty, before gathering his officers for a tear 

infused farewell at Fraunces Tavern on December 4th. Anxious to 

return to Mount Vernon after his eight year absence, Washington 

would travel from New York to Annapolis, where he intended to resign 

his commission of Commander of the Continental Army. Along his 

journey, jubilant celebrations erupted, and Washington addressed 

crowds in New Brunswick and Trenton before reaching Philadelphia. 

The tight schedule of formal appearances did not allow much time for 

personal correspondence, but Washington found time to pen 

this poignant and candid letter to James McHenry on the 10th. 

Washington is quite candid in his statements to McHenry and proudly 

reports “seeing the backs of the British forces turned upon us” 

and having returned the “State of New York [to] the peaceable 

possession” of its rightful Governor, before announcing his intention 

to retire in the oft-quoted phrase that he will “get translated into a 

private Citizen.” In this letter Washington acknowledges the greatness 

of his victory and the newness of his personal state, having in eight 

years time been transformed from an unhappy Virginia planter to the 

commander of the revolutionary army, and most importantly, into this 

startling new entity: a free American citizen. 

The letter remained among McHenry’s papers until 1859, when it was 

sold at auction in Baltimore to benefit an institution for the blind. 

Sold to William T. Walters, the Baltimore industrialist and art collector, 

the letter descended to his son Henry Walters, who would greatly 

expand the family collection and would marry Sarah Jones. Jones was 

instrumental in the formation of the Walters Art Museum after Henry’s 

death in 1931 and the balance of the collection sold at auction. 

Recently discovered among family papers, the letter has thus 

remained with the family of the original purchaser since 1859.

captions, signatures, and dates through January 1868. Original 19th century 

boards. Lacking upper cover, some excisions to portions of leaves, minor wear; 

And a framed group of printed placeholders depicting Cadets. 

A charming archive of amusing original sketches of West Point cadet life by 

Charles William Whipple, son of Chief Topographical Engineer and Brigadier 

General Amiel Weeks Whipple (who had been mortally wounded at 

Chancellorsville in 1863). Lincoln himself recommended C.W. Whipple to 

West Point and his younger brother David, the recipient of this book, was 

recommended to Annapolis by President Johnson. 

The 1859 edition of West Point Life contained verses written by the 1860 

graduate Horace Porter, who would become aide to General Grant during 

the war. The 1866 edition was expanded to include the amusing sketches 

by Whipple and the poem “Benny Havens, Oh!”, an original draft of which 

is included here. These illustrations have never before been attributed to 

C.W. Whipple.

The order to remove all identifying elements 

from the PT 109 came after Toyko Rose, 

the English speaking radio announcer who 

worked for the Japanese, began listing the

listening American naval officers. Quartermaster 

Manning removed the nameplate

CARLISLE INDIAN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. Archive of printed documents, 

photographs and ephemera collected by instructor Alfred W. Ramsay. 

Carlisle, Pennsylvania: circa 1910. Archive comprising printed items such as: 

school prospectuses and mission statements, student narratives including two 

partially printed books accomplished in manuscript (nearly complete) by male 

and female students listing their names, tribes, ambitions, etc., periodicals 

including The Red Man, The Indian Craftsman, Indians, At Work, The Carlisle 

Arrow (newspapers and yearbooks, 1909-1912), printed lesson sheets, various 

annual reports, speeches read to students, printed menus, handbills (one by 

Teddy Roosevelt), and booklets. Photographs include: classroom interiors, an 

interesting group of images depicting students in costume as Indians and 

Pilgrims, Conquistadors, etc., panoramas of the campus, a large format image 

of a lecture hall filled with students, etc. Ephemera includes two Native American 

leather costume items. Condition very good overall, some papers and 

panoramas rolled, typical silvering to photographs, a interesting collection 

that should be seen. 

The Carlisle Indian Industrial School was the first boarding school for Native 

Americans and operated from 1879-1918. Presumably instructor Ramsay was 

an amateur photographer and took most of these pictures himself. The school 

was closed on the outbreak of WWI and turned into a hospital. Controversial 

in nature, the aim of Carlisle was to educate Native Americans in order to 

encourage assimilation into the culture of the United States. The current archive 

is rich in visual imagery of the school and its students and the printed items 

offer strong research opportunities into this controversial institution.

NOAH, WEBSTER 

Two leaves of manuscript from the American Dictionary of the English Language, n.d. 

but before 1828. Paper with a dove and olive branch watermark (c.f. Gravell 0.012.1, but 

a variant), with three pages of text in Webster’s strong, hasty hand, consisting of several 

hundred words of text for dictionary definitions from “Admit” to “Admonitory,” with 

extensive strike-throughs and corrections (a large portion of “Admonish” is neatly lined 

through and reworked). 9 7/8 x 7 3/4 inches (25 x 19.5 cm); approximately ninety lines in 

all, with several Hebrew characters in the preliminary definition of “Admonish.” Very slight 

losses at the gutter margin (not seriously affecting any word) where the page was extracted 

from the manuscript. Horizontal crease, minor toning of paper, in all a good example. 

The balance of the manuscript (some 450 leaves) now resides at the Pierpont Morgan Library, 

but at some early juncture leaves from the A and B section were separated (all that ever 

appeared for sale comes from this portion of the alphabet, so far as we can determine). 

Very few of these leaves are extant. The last example sold at auction was in the Forbes 

Collection (sold 15 November, 2005), and was significantly less extensive than this in word 

count. It is interesting to note that Webster rewrote the definition of “Admonish” without 

Hebrew characters, perhaps concerned about typesetting issues. 

“Webster was an ardent nationalist and wished to stress the political separation from Britain 

by the cultivation of a separate American language....Webster’s great dictionary, all the 

70,000 entries of which he wrote with his own hand, has been reprinted and brought up to 

date innumerable times” from Printing and the Mind of Man 291.

HAMILTON, EMMA 

Autograph letter to Viscount Nelson, 3 pp., dated October 4 from 

Canterbury, the address panel bearing a free frank dated October 7, 

1805, the letter addressed to the care of Captain Keats on the HMS 

Superb, docked at Portsmouth. 9 x 7 inches (23 x 18 cm), written in 

brown ink on a sheet of paper folded to two leaves. Housed in an old 

straight-grained morocco folder (worn), with documents supporting the 

provenance. The address leaf (the recto of which is the last page of text) 

has a puncture and a marginal tear, both with loss of paper, resulting 

from seal removal, with no apparent damage to the text; miscreased at 

the gutter fold. 

Nelson was dead, killed by a French sniper at Trafalgar on October 21 

1805, before this letter reached the fleet, as the Superb did not rejoin 

the British squadron off Cadiz until November 1805, well after the 

battle. This is therefore among Emma Hamilton’s very last letters to 

Nelson, though (see below) we are aware of one later example, that 

being (with a strong likelihood) her very last letter to him. Neither 

would have reached him before his death, which may well explain 

their survival. Nelson and Emma Hamilton mutually destroyed their 

correspondence to maintain the privacy of their relationship. She was 

the less thorough of the two in this regard, to judge by the paucity of 

surviving letters from her to Nelson, relative to the comparatively large 

number of letters extant that Nelson sent to her. 

Here, addressing “My most dear Nelson,” Emma Hamilton describes 

the attempted suicide of Lord Sidmouth’s son. She mentions visitors— 

Lord Douglas “who would have given much to have seen you when you 

were in England.” The letter goes on to regret the lack of letters from 

Nelson, and speaks at some length on Horatia, the daughter of Emma 

Hamilton and Viscount Nelson. In all, it is an exceptional document, full 

of affectionate warmth (full text upon request). 

As a footnote, Sir Richard Goodwin Keats, the captain of the Superb 

who was entrusted with carrying this letter, was highly regarded by 

Nelson (and, one must imagine, was trusted by Emma Hamilton to 

carry such sensitive missives). He had defeated three enemy vessels 

simultaneously after Algeciras in 1801 in an epic naval victory. He had 

been part of the fleet under Nelson that pursued the French under 

Villeneuve to the West Indies and back in the long months before 

Trafalgar, but the Superb needed to be dry-docked and refitted on its 

return, and as a result Keats and his vessel missed Trafalgar by a month.

LUARD, JOHN, (MAJOR). Views in India, 

Saint Helena and Car Nicobar drawn from 

Nature and on Stone by... [London: circa 

1832-38]. Modern half morocco, marbled 

sides, all edges gilt. 13 3/4 x 10 inches (35 

x 25 cm); frontispiece plate, lithographic 

title, dedication, preface, and 59 plates (with 

accompanying texts), most mounted india 

proofs (i.e. 60 plates with frontis., as called 

for). Scattered foxing, mostly to mounts. 

The plates were printed by J. Graf or Seret 

and C. Hullmandel. This is an interesting 

series of views (quite rare complete), with 

much incidental information on military life 

in India, as well as local customs etc. Luard 

retired in 1834 as a major, and was breveted 

lieutenant colonel in 1838 (the earlier plates 

give his rank as captain in the imprint, the 

later as major). 

Provenance: 

Woodward Gardens was a 19th-century 

San Francisco amusement park, from 

1866 to 1891. Woodward was a collector 

of curiosities, and this may have numbered 

among them.

A spectacular original printing plate from “the

quote Christine Jackson’s 1985 book on bird 

etchings. He had taken lessons in technique 

from Audubon in 1826. Scops Eared Owl

copper plates. The plate was then transferred 

to William Home Lizars in Edinburgh, where a 

proof pull was taken from the plate Selby had 

prepared, and the engraving was completed 

by workmen at the establishment, bringing 

the engraving to a very high level of 

accomplishment indeed. Of these, Jackson 

further writes “‘The copper plates were 

suberbly executed and the monochrome 

printed plates have an austere beauty 

unmatched in other bird books illustrated by 

line. Every feather is clearly visible, with all 

the details of the large flight feathers and the

3 1/2 inches (12 x 8.5 cm); 76 ff., single column, 20 lines written in lettre batarde in brown ink. Capitals in liquid 

gold on blue or terracotta-red grounds, line fillers in same. With fifteen miniatures within arch-topped gilt frames 

above (generally) three or four lines of text and within full borders of naturalistic foliage and vinework, with birds, 

insects and zoomorphic drolleries. Light binding wear, within a few minor smudges, most notably to the 

Crucifixion on f. 31, some minor stains and handling marks. The manuscript was trimmed at an early date, 

just touching the fore-edge of some miniatures. 

The Calendar, which is surprisingly sparse, shows St. Luce [Lucian] for October 17 highlighted in gold, which is 

consistent with Bruges use; St. Barnabas on June 11 is also highlighted in gilt, although a common saint held 

in especial veneration in Bruges; and a number of other saints are highlighted thus whose use is consistent with 

a Bruges, or at least a Western Flanders origin. However, St. Donatian, the patron saint of Bruges, is not to 

be found. The miniatures (detailed list on request) have an unusually delicate pastel palette.

V. Summum Pontif. Bound in three-quarters calf, cloth sides. 21 ff., 

written in a fine humanist bookhand (undated, but likely third quarter 

of the 15th century), 24 lines to the page. The leaves are crudely and 

irregularly numbered 312-331 in a later though early hand. The verso 

of the final leaf bears an Explicit. Binding defective, front board loose. 

Internally, there is an old water stain to the bottom margin, but though 

there is minor creasing resulting from this, the text is unaffected and 

the manuscript is overall attractive. With the bookplate of Walter 

Sneyd; this is the Reverend Walter Sneyd of Keele Hall, whose 

important collection of manuscripts was sold in 1903 by Sotheby, 

Wilkinson & Hodge. 

These are the final leaves of what was once a more extensive 

manuscript of the letters of Democritus and of Hippocrates, to judge 

from the Explicit. The first section of the manuscript is from Giacomo 

Bracelli’s account of the Ligurian coast, the Descriptio orae ligusticae 

that was written in 1442, providing a terminus post quem for the 

manuscript. Bracelli’s work did not appear in print until the Badius 

Ascensius edition of his works in 1520. The second section includes 

the letter of Artaxerxes to Petus (including the section on the plague) 

as well as the letter in which Hippocrates addresses Crateone. An 

unusual combination of medical and geographical texts, this is an 

intriguing manuscript. See Paul Oskar Kristeller Iter Italicum volume 5,

A tract that describes circumstances that likely had impact on William 

Shakespeare’s family. It calls for the death of John Somerville, “ 

a furious man of Warwickshire, lately discovered and taken.” 

Somerville was married to one of the daughters of Edward Arden, 

and the fate of the Shakespeare and Arden families was interwoven, 

as Mary Arden was married to John Shakespeare. Somerville (who 

DNB seems to feel was of unsound mind) was convicted of high 

treason, as were Edward and Mary Arden (his wife was later released). 

Somerville was murdered (or committed suicide) in his cell on 

December 19, 1583, and both Somerville and Arden’s heads 

displayed on Tower Bridge. This mischance had a significant effect 

on the entire Arden family, as Edward’s lands were confiscated by 

the crown, with some members of the Arden family falling under 

suspicion of Catholicism. It seems inevitable that the Shakespeare 

family would have had concerns for their own safety in the wake of 

the Warwickshire catastrophe.

of Witchcraft, 1584) who were sceptical of the very existence of witchcraft.

With the bookplates of Henry Cunliffe and Alfred 

Ehrman (sold for 990 pounds in the sale of the 

Broxbourne Library, part one), and the bookplate at the 

rear of William Stirling Maxwell, with his pencilled notes. 

One of the finest specimens of Elizabethan invective, 

issued by a Puritan writer from an unlicensed press 

under an obviously false imprint. So widely read were 

the Marprelate pamphlets, of which this was the fourth, 

that the authorities commissioned some of the leading 

literary figures of the day, including Thomas Nashe and 

Robert Greene, to anonymously answer them. 

The identity of the author, clearly a brilliant wordsmith, 

remains shrouded in mystery. John Penry, the Welsh 

puritan who ran the press with the help of the 

printer Robert Waldegrave, denied authorship (Penry 

was hanged in 1593 for his part in what was clearly a 

substantial conspiracy). Most scholars now believe that 

Job Throckmorton (a member of parliament) was the 

author, although there is some intriguing evidence that 

Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford, may have had a 

role. Throckmorton stood trial for sedition and related 

charges in 1590, and was acquitted, in large part 

because of social connections that the unfortunate 

Penry lacked. 

This satirical tract was a rebuttal to Thomas Cooper’s 

An Admonition to the People of England (hence the 

many clever punning references to barrel-making or 

cooperage in its title). Its verbal brilliance far eclipses 

Cooper’s work, and it is likely that the authorities turned 

to the more playful wit of Nashe and Greene to keep 

pace. ESTC S112300; STC (2nd ed.), 17456.

he discusses practical military basics. In specific, 

he outlines roles of field officers from General 

down, and gives tactical advice (much of which 

he had learned and practised in the Low Country 

campaigns). Of medical interest is his discussion 

of the role of the surgeon on G2 verso, a very 

early account in English of the role of the military 

surgeon. The appended table of square roots 

(with a divisonal title and continuous foliation) is 

for “Serving for the orderringe of just squares, 

and sufficient for the imbatteling of any number” 

and it includes numerous additional strategic 

considerations for pike-squares and the like.

JONSON, BEN. Workes. London: William Stansby, 1616. Contemporary 

panelled calf, sprinkled edges. Together with Workes. London: n.p., 1640-41 

(comprising the second and third volumes). Matching contemporary panelled 

calf, sprinkled edges. The bindings worn, boards detached, spines oxidized,. 

The Byron family copies, both with the bookplate of the Right Honorable 

William Byon, Lord Byron (and a later bookplate). Sold with all faults. 

Both volumes have imperfections, including missing preliminaries, but the 

first contains the following works, each with their separate titles (but with 

continuous pagination): Every Man out of his Humor; Cynthia’s Revels...; 

Poetaster...; Sejanus his Fall; Volpone, of the Fox; Epicoene or the Silent 

Woman...; The Alchemist; Catiline; Epigrammes; Part of the Kings 

Entertainment.... Masques at Court is imperfect, concluding at p. 1006. 

The second volume contains The Divell is an Asse; Horace, His Art of Poetrie; 

The English Grammar; Timber, or Discoveries; Under-woods; A Tale of a Tub; 

The Magnetic Lady; and The Sad Shepherd. The final leaf of the second 

volume bears an inscription dated 1698 by William Byron at Newstead, 

indicative of the length of time this copy was in the Byron family. 

The 1616 edition was a precursor of other collections of plays by the 

Elizabethan playwrights that were to follow, including the first folio of 

Shakespeare of 1623. It is a genuinely rare work (arguably rarer than the first 

folio). It is intriguing (and perhaps indicative of its notorious bibliographical 

complexity) that this copy is in contemporary bindings and is without any 

evidence that any of the preliminaries to either volume were ever present.

[WILSON, GEORGE]. The commendation of cockes,

cock-fighting was before the comming of Christ. 

London : Printed [by Thomas Purfoot] for Henrie Tomes, 

and are to be sold at his shop ouer against Graies Inne 

gate in Holburne, 1607. 19th century calf, all edges gilt, 

housed in a modern clamshell case. 6 7/8 x 5 1/8 inches 

(17.5 x 13 cm); [15] ff. collating A-D 4 (but lacking A1, 

blank]. Joints weak, lacking blank as noted, but overall a 

clean, sound copy, apparently unrestored. Leaf A3r has 

a faint old marginal duplicate stamp of the Bridgew[a] 

t[er] Lib[rar]y. According to an 1819 ink note in the front 

free endpaper, this was the Duke of Marlborough’s copy, 

sold at his auction July 1818 (it had been purchased by 

him at the Colonel Stanley sale). 

One of the rarest sporting books of the period, this 

has a delightful title page with two cuts of gamecocks, 

one black, one red, a most unusual flourish. It is the 

first known English treatise on the subject, written by a 

Norfolk vicar and dedicated to Sir Henrie Bedingfield 

“in the County of Norfolke Knighte.” Both men were 

dedicated to the pursuit, and there are accounts of 

cockfights in Bury St. Edmunds and Norwich (and an 

extraordinary account of a parade through the 

former town of a victorious cock of the author’s own 

breeding). Michael Drayton is mentioned in the text; 

as is the cockpit built at Whitehall by Henry VIII, on 

what is now the site of Number Ten Downing Street (see 

Early English Stages 1300 to 1660 volume II, p. 45). 

In fact, some early Cabinet meetings are supposed to 

have been secretly held at the Cockpit. It was later 

converted to a concert hall and theater. ESTC S111808. 

Provenance: 

The Col. Stanley-Duke of Marlborough-James 

Perry-Henry B.H. Beaufoy copy (taken from bookplate 

and early endpaper notes). We are unclear at what 

point in the copy’s history it was in the Bridgewater 

Library (i.e. that of the Egertons, Earls of Bridgewater, 

later Ellesmere).

London: for William Ponsonbie, 1591. 19th century 

dark green morocco. A fragment only (comprising title, 

dedication, and E3 and 4, F-K 4 , extracted from Spenser’s 

Complaints). Light wear. 

Though grossly defective, of considerable interest for 

the text (on F2 recto) beginning: 

“Our Pleasant Willy, ah is dead of late:” 

This striking series of lines, regretting the apparent 

creative death of “Willy” may conceivably be the 

earliest mention of Shakespeare (preceding by a year 

Greene’s Groat’s Worth of Wit, the more generally 

accepted “first mention” of the playwright). To be fair, 

there is a body of criticism that states that the subject of 

these lines is Philip Sidney (d. 1586) but it is quite clear 

that the poet referred to here is not dead in a literal 

sense. At the very least, a curiosity. The William Stirling

of the running headlines are cut into, but overall a pleasing copy, with the bookplate of

inches (14.5 x 9.5 cm); [4], 88 ff., collating A 4 B-M 8 . Both boards 

detached, spine missing one compartment, but an internally fresh copy 

(faint old stamp on recto and verso of title), the Robert Goelet/William Fairfax 

Murray copy. 

This work, by “bilious Bale,” (so known from his demeanour and the virulence 

of his arguments), reprints and refutes a work by John Huntington, the Ponce 

Pantolabus of the title: The genealogye of heresye. No copy of the original 

edition of this is recorded, and Bale’s own book is rare, with only one copy 

at auction (1978). It was explicitly prohibited and condemned under the July 

5, 1546 Proclamation for the Abolishing of English Books that also banned 

Coverdale’s Bible. Bale was a notable playwright as well as a controversialist 

in the anti-Catholic cause. His Kynge Johan (circa 1538) is one of the earliest 

historical dramas, preparing the ground for those of Shakespeare sixty years 

later. STC (2nd ed.), 1303; ESTC S100627.

Poly-Olbion. A chorographicall description of all the tracts, riuers, 

mountains, forests, and other parts of this renowned isle of Great 

Britain, with intermixture of the most remarkeable stories, antiquities, 

wonders, rarities, pleasures, and commodities of the same. London: 

printed [by Humphrey Lownes and Augustine Mathewes] for Iohn Marriott, 

Iohn Grismand, and Thomas Dewe. First edition, the third issue, but with 

the 1613 title-page bound in the first part, and the 1622 in the second (but 

see below). Full dark blue morocco (by Charles Lewis, according to the 

original instructions to the binder, which are tipped to the free endpaper), 

edges of boards gilt else plain; the same document indicates this was 

bound in 1832, all edges gilt. 11 1/4 x 7 1/4 inches; engraved title, printed 

title, dedication, the engraving of Prince Henry (both the engraved title 

and this are engraved by W. Hole), the leaf “Upon the Frontispiece,” 4 ff. 

table, 4 ff. “To the reader,” 303 pp. (verso blank) with 18 folding plates 

on guards; printed title dated 1622, 4 ff., 168 pp., with 12 folding plates 

on guards. Binding rather rubbed, but sound; lacking the initial blank; the 

two printed title pages for the parts, from their size, appear to be inserted 

(as the Pforzheimer copy). The order of the preliminaries differ from 

Pforzheimer, in that the table in the first volume is bound before signature 

A. Internally, this is an extremely clean copy (possibly never washed, and 

indeed the note to the binder indicates “no washing required”), with fine 

strong impressions of the engravings; minor restoration (on verso) to a 

short clean tear on one plate. 

An extraordinary celebration of England’s history and topography in verse, 

the Poly-Olbion consists of thirty sections or songs (eighteen in the first 

part, published 1612, fourteen in the second, published 1622). Each of 

these discusses a single region of England, usually between one and three 

counties. The sections are prefixed by an engraved map; those in the 

first volume are most likely engraved by W. Hole, who also produced the 

magnificent engraved title and the portrait of Prince Henry. The maps in 

the second volume are considered (at least by the Pforzheimer catalogue) 

to be by another artist. The printed marginal annotations in the first 

volume (there are none in the second) are by John Selden, and serve to 

explicate (after a fashion) the text. 

An interesting feature of this copy is the handwritten instructions to the 

binder, which clearly refer to this copy. Unfortunately, they give no clue to 

to the identity of the nineteenth century bibliophile who was responsible 

for having it bound, and there are no bookplates, but he was clearly 

following the auctions of the time, as he reports the results of the work in 

varous contemporary sales, including the Roxburghe auction. Pforzheimer

published by Thiebes-Stierlin Music in St. Louis

DICKENS, CHARLES 

A Christmas Carol in Prose, being A Ghost Story of Christmas. London: Chapman & Hall, 1844. The 

seventh edition, stated, this copy inscribed on the half-title “Mrs. Smithson/from/Charles Dickens/18th 

April 1844.” 19th century pebble-grained red morocco, simple gilt rules, spine in six compartments, 

marbled endsheets, all edges gilt. [4] ff. including half title, frontispiece, title and preface, 166 pp. text. 

Binding somewhat rubbed to joints but sound, two minor tears with discreet old restorations to a tiny tear 

on the fore-margin of the the half-title and frontispiece, some minor toning to the plates as usual, but an 

attractive copy. 

A significant Dickens presentation, to the wife of his close friend the solicitor Charles Smithson, shortly after 

the untimely death of the latter at the age of 39. Dickens attended the funeral at Malton Abbey on the 

fifth of April 1844, heading up to Yorkshire by train for the day. The letter of the same date that originally 

accompanied this presentation copy now resides at the Free Library of Philadelphia, and it makes evident 

that Dickens was deeply distressed by his friend’s death. In the letter, he mentions that he had hoped that 

Mrs. Smithson would be able to stay with his family (“for a twelvemonth”), but that they had discovered 

there were insufficient bedrooms for Smithson’s young family. (He was a godfather to one of Smithson’s 

children). 

There is a long-standing tradition that the office of Scrooge was based on Smithson’s office on Chancery 

Lane in Malton, and that various characters of Dickens (John Brodie, Sairey Gamp and possibly others) 

were based upon residents of the area. Mr Spenlow (of Spenlow and Jorkins in David Copperfield), is 

supposedly modelled on Charles Smithson. However, the evidence for all of this is largely anecdotal. 

The binding of this copy is early, and it cannot be ruled out that it was bound at Dickens’ behest for 

presentation to Mrs. Smithson; given the tragic event it commemorates, a regular copy may have been 

felt to be inadequate. Philo Calhoun and Howell J. Heaney record twenty-two inscribed examples of A 

Christmas Carol in their 1945 work (published in the Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America and 

subsequently available as an offprint). This example was not among them.

SHELLEY, PERCY BYSSHE 

Queen Mab. A Philosophical Poem. New York: 

William Baldwin, 1821. 19th century straight-grain 

olive morocco, spine gilt. Added engraved title (or 

wrapper?), [2] (printed title, verso blank) [10], 181 pp. 

Light binding wear, occasional slight spotting but 

overall a very good copy. 

Though often thought to be the first American 

edition, the imprint is false. It was most likely 

published by William Benbow in London in 1821 

(there is an article in The Colophon New Graphic 

Series 1, 1939 by George T. Goodspeed on this 

work). Broad publication of Shelley’s Mab had been 

prevented by the actions of the Society for the 

Prevention of Vice, which led to several prosecutions. 

The work was popular with the Chartist movement, 

and such readers would have been the target for this 

early pirated edition, which is quite rare in commerce.

desirable autograph.

WHITMAN, WALT 

The Complete Writings of Walt Whitman. New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 

1902. One of 32 sets only of the Author’s Manuscript Edition, each volume 

numbered and signed on behalf of the publisher, this set number 20. Ten 

volumes, bound in full dark-green levant at The Knickerbocker Press, the 

covers with an overall floral design in gilt surrounding a central lozenge 

onlaid in red, the spine in six compartments with raised bands, red moire 

silk endsheets, top edge gilt. 9 1/2 x 7 inches (24 x 17 cm); frontispieces in 

two states, the manuscript leaf bound into the first volume together with a 

hand-engrossed certification leaf signed by Jeanette Gilder. Laid in is the 

original publisher’s receipt, which indicates that the set cost $500 upon 

publication. Spines slightly darkened, some minor wear, and a small defect 

resulting in loss of leather to the lower forecorner of the dentelles in the 

first volume. Internally, this is a fresh copy. 

The manuscript in this set is a leaf from the first (or early) draft of 

Specimen Days, chapter 153 The East, which incorporates three lines of 

verse from The Errand Bearers (the whole of which was first published in 

The New York Times, June 27, 1860). Retitled A Broadway Pageant this 

poem was ultimately incorporated into the 1871 edition of Leaves of Grass. 

The manuscript has a number of strike-throughs and emendations. Though 

just a three-line quotation, any portion of Leaves of Grass in Whitman’s 

hand is desirable. BAL 21454A; Meyerson B4.

to the adjacent pages (as usual), but in almost every regard this is one of the freshest copies,

[DE THOU BINDING] 

CRISPINUS, JOHANNES. Actiones et monimenta martyrum 

quia Wicleffo et Husso ad nostram hanc aetate in Germania, 

Gallia, Anglia, Flandria, Italia, & ipsa demum Hispania, 

veritatem Euangelicam sanguine suo consanter 

obsignauerunt. [Geneva]: Joannes Crispinus, 1560. 

Contemporary brown armorial morocco for J.A. de Thou, with 

his arms combined with those of his first wife on the sides; the 

spine in seven compartments, the title in compartment 2, the 

others with his “IAM” monogram. 10 x 6 1/2 inches (25.5 x 17 

cm); [alpha]-[beta] 8 A 4 B-V 8 X 4 Y-2S 8 [N.B. lacks signature gamma, 

leaves 17 and 18; also, I 3-6 are uncut, but are smaller than 

the rest of the book]. The title bears Crispin’s woodcut of 

martyrs. The binding is somewhat scuffed, the spine perhaps 

very unobtrusively restored, some wear to head and foot. 

Internally, some pale marginal staining, lacking the two leaves 

of signature gamma, and one signature short (but, because it is 

uncut, this may simply be the result of the printer using a smaller 

sheet than the balance of the book). One page has a neat blank 

overslip over the final line, perhaps the correction of an error or 

an attempt at censorship. 

Despite the various points noted above, a most attractive book 

with a very interesting provenance. De Thou (1553-1617) was 

among the great book collectors of the age, a successful 

courtier, and a laudably tolerant man in an age of religious 

intolerance. His Historia sui temporis 1604-8 (which may well 

have drawn on the present work, among many others) excited 

much negative comment from the Catholic hierarchy, and the 

second volume was placed on the Index.

[ROYAL BINDING] 

Souvenir D’Amitie [Title taken from gold 

plaques on binding]. Binding in straight-grain red 

morocco, the covers edged with an applied gold 

frame, the upper cover with a mounted plaque 

reading “Souvenir”, the lower cover similarly 

decorated but reading “D’Amitie”, fastened at 

the foredge with a gold pencil. The covers and 

doublures bear a total of four mounted 

miniatures framed in gold under glass. These 

are (upper cover) Queen Maria Teresa of 

Hasburg-Lorena-Este (wife of Victor Emmanuel I 

of Sardinia), the miniature signed by Angelo 

Vacca; (front doublure) Maria Teresa of Savoy, 

Duchess of Lucca; (rear doublure) Maria Anna 

of Savoy, later Empress of Austria; the young 

Maria Cristina of Savoy (rear cover, also signed 

by Vacca). 

4 3/4 x 3 inches 

(12 x 7.5 cm); containing a notebook, 10 ff. (blank) 

and two satin-lined pockets. Light wear, but 

overall in very attractive condition. 

An extraordinary survival, presumably a gift from 

the Italian royal family. Maria Cristina appears to 

be five or six years old in her portrait, which places 

the production of this charming keepsake at about 

1817-1818. The artist was presumably the same 

for all four, Angelo Vacca (the younger) of Turin, 

1783-1823. Vacca was one of the principal 

painters for the court of King Victor, which helps 

place the production of this charming piece 

squarely in the royal milieu. Stylistically, this is a 

precursor of the popular twentieth century 

Cosway bindings. A few earlier French examples 

exist, but as a class 18th and early 19th century 

bindings with original miniature paintings are 

rare, and we have not seen any with attached 

gold plaques and decoration such as the present 

example.

The cases lacking most of their original leather covering, some of the volumes

A rather rare and interesting survival, despite the heavy wear. Such sets, with 

their durable boxes, were intended as recreational reading for travellers, 

and were often taken on the Grand Tour. Given the generally crisp interior 

condition of the volumes, the owner of this set was either exceptionally

Autograph note signed on postcard from 1913 New 

York Armory Show. [New York: circa March 1913]. 

Autograph note signed “Henri” addressed to “Dear 

Horace Traubel” with strong content regarding the show, 

written on the rare color printed exhibition postcard with 

pine tree emblem. 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches (9 x 14 cm). Far 

extremity lightly stained and faded, small loss to one 

corner with minor text loss, matted and presented in a 

double-sided frame. 

The 1913 “International Exhibition of Modern Art” 

held at the 69th Regiment Armory in New York is a 

seminal event in the history of modernism. Here Henri, 

an exhibitor, writes Traubel, the essayist and Walt 

Whitman biographer, expressing his hope that the 

|“exhibition should have the very greatest effect on art 

matters - and understanding in this country”; that the 

presented artists are “struggling to get at something 

they think more vital”; and closes mentioning the lead 

roles of Arthur Davies and Walt Kuhn.

anvases to be good. He invites Pissarro to a dinner at which 

several young admirers of his work will be present.

MIRO, JOAN 

Autograph letter signed to Matarasso, February 27, 

1962 (27/II/62). Single page on Miro’s Son Abrines 

letterhead, thirteen lines of text in blue ink. 11 x 1/2 

inches (28 x 22 cm). Paper slightly toned, several 

horizontal creases, likely from mailing. 

Son Abrines in Calamayor, Palma de Mallorca was Miro’s 

last home, until his death in 1983. Written to Matarosso, 

whose gallery in Nice featured Miro’s art, the artist thanks 

him for a gift of books. He asks after the progress of the 

Rimbaud album (eventually published in 1967), and 

comments on the gallerist’s essays on the Illuminations. 

He send affectionate greetings from himself and his 

wife, Pilar, to both Matarosso and his wife. As is typical 

of Miro, his script has a highly ornamental flair, with the 

dividing lines in the date extending half-way down the 

page.

Pissarro writes to his wife to request that she ship a 

“wood” (bois, presumably a wood engraving?) by their

TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, HENRI DE 

Autograph Carte-Telegramme to André Marty, the 

publisher and lithographer, date from postmark December 

10, 1893, signed with Lautrec’s monogram. Postcard, 3 1/8 

x 5 3/8 inches (8 x 13 cm), written in black ink, addressed 

on verso. Slight smudge (resulting from haste) to Lautrec’s 

monogram, overall sound and attractive. 

Marty is requested to come to La Justice (the left-wing 

journal edited by Geoffroy) the following day at six o’clock 

to get matters settled between Yvette [with near-certainty 

Yvette Guilbert, singer and actress, the subject of some of 

Toulouse-Lautrec’s most striking art] and Geoffroy. Lautrec 

goes on to give his itinerary, mentioning that he will be 

with [Edward] Ancourt (his printer) the following morning. 

From the date and context, it seems likely that this 

summary meeting had to to with the preparation of 

Geoffroy’s text for Toulouse-Lautrec’s famous 1894 album 

of the singer, published by Marty.

ROUAULT GEORGES 

Autograph document signed to Ambrose Vollard, undated. 

Single page on notepaper date May 11, 1922, written in black 

ink. 5 x 8 inches (13 x 20 cm). Some toning to the paper, framed 

with an image of Rouault. 

The artist writes a receipt to Vollard for 38,800 francs for Guerre, 

for a total of 47 designs, together with all reproduction rights. 

This receipt is presumably the genesis of Vollard’s edition of 

Miserere, which was originally conceived as Miserere et Guerre, 

a two-volume work. The first mixed-media intaglio plates were 

delivered in 1922 (more followed until 1928), though the book 

had a long and chequered career, and was not published until 

1948.

Central fold, three edges of the sheet

Rops mentions that he has been ill but has 

gone back to his work. He is tired of the

on display in the afternoons (a few very 

early cars are shown here). It was the artist’s 

intention that the six plates would be joined 

as a frieze.

WARHOL, ANDY 

25 Cats Name[d] Sam and One Blue Pussy. [New York]: Printed 

by Seymour Berlin, [circa 1954]. First edition, number 69 of 190 

copies signed in red crayon by Warhol. Original white buckram with 

gray endpapers, the upper cover with a hand-colored lithographed 

label depicting a cat and lettered with the title and author (this print 

defective). 9 x 5 7/8 inches (22.5 x 18 cm); tipped-in limitation leaf, 

followed by 17 offset lithographs by Warhol on Arches paper, 

each hand-colored with the bright washes of Dr. Martin’s aniline 

watercolor dyes. The cover lithograph completes the count of 18. 

The cover illustration with a large loss to the cat illustration also 

affecting lettering, this portion provided in facsimile, other staining 

to covers from adhesive as commonly seen, plates affected by 

either long or short handling creases or various stains at margin or 

into image, stitching loosening, a worn copy but nevertheless a 

complete copy of a scarce and frequently broken Warhol title. 

25 Cats Name[d] Sam and One Blue Pussy is an ephemeral work 

created in the early years of Warhol’s career as a graphic artist in 

New York. The work lists Charles Lisanby as its author although 

there is no text, and the cat theme may be credited to Warhol’s 

mother Julia, who had moved to New York to be near Andy and 

provided the calligraphy. Julia and Andy were known to have many 

cats, all but one named Sam, and Julia was known for her whimsical 

cat drawings. The coloring of the lithographs was done at “coloring 

parties” with Warhol’s friends, a precusor the collective approach 

that characterized much of his career. The book was typically gifted 

by Warhol to friends and colleagues and this copy was gifted from 

Warhol to an art director friend at I. Miller Shoes where he worked 

during this period. Among the most significant American artist 

books of the period, these Cats are now ubiquitous Warhol images. 

A copy of the book gifted to another I. Miller colleague was used to 

produce a facsimile edition by Random House in 1987. Feldman & 

Schellmann IV 52A-68A.

The Darryl Kelly Collection, Formerly Property of 

Harry Shunk, was assembled by photographer Harry 

Shunk (1924-2006). Born in Reudnitz, Germany, 

Shunk moved to Paris in 1957 and became well 

connected in the art scene at a time of tremendous 

exploration in new ways of expressing artistic ideas. 

He and his partner, photographer Janos Kender, 

began documenting the works of the Nouveau 

Realistes, including Yves Klein, Arman, Jean 

Tinguely, Niki de Saint Phalle and Christo. These 

artists used the landscape as their canvas, thereby 

eliminating the confines of the rectangle picture 

plane. Shunk’s collaborations captured large scale 

installations of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, as well 

as performances of Yves Klein. 

In the late 1960s, he came to New York, where he met 

Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, and settled in 

Greenwich Village, where he would remain for the rest 

of his life. In the 1970s, Harry Shunk became increasingly 

reclusive, and his artistic collaborations ceased. 

Bronx resident and Antiques Roadshow enthusiast 

Darryl Kelly rescued this remarkable collection after 

the death of Harry Shunk in 2006 and has safeguarded 

the works since then. As reported in The New York 

Times and elsewhere, Mr. Kelly recently sought out 

assistance with the identification of the works. The 

subsequent reemergence of the Collection created 

great excitement – very much like the stories of 

discovery on the Antiques Roadshow.

56, though plate counts undoubtedly varied considerably] 

separate offset printed plates, each with DeSana’s 

stamp on the rear. Slight crease to the cardboard 

justification leaf, generally an attractive copy. 

The very rare original edition of this legendary photobook, 

shot by a key figure in the East Village punk 

scene of the 1970s. The images examine the tropes of 

1950s and 1960s pornography with a wry sensibility.

Group of seven original cartoons drawings for Punk

Occasional marginal creases, overall fine 

Includes three panels of Detective Noodles, three of the 

infamous Bosko, and One Day at the Kink Shop. Punk 

Magazine, which published 15 issues from 1976-1979, and a 

special issue in 1981, was intimately wedded to the New York 

punk scene of the time. Along with Raw and Robert Crumb’s 

later work Punk pioneered a brash new world of cartoon art. 

Original artwork for the magazine is very uncommon.

Conditions of sale 

The following examples define some of the terms 

used in this catalogue. The reader is reminded 

that all of the terms and descriptions used in 

this catalogue as to authorship, period, culture, 

source or origin for any property are made and 

used as qualified statements and opinions only, 

and are subject to the Conditions of Sale and the 

Terms of Guarantee. 

In connection with the attribution of authorship, 

as described in paragraph 2 of the Terms of 

Guarantee, the following terms are used in this 

catalogue, and are defined as follows: 

FURNITURE and DECORATIONS 

Regency Rosewood Sofa Table 

First quarter of the 19th century. This heading 

with the date included means that the piece is, in 

our best judgment, of the period indicated with 

no major alterations or restorations. 

Regency Rosewood Sofa Table 

This heading without inclusion of a date indicates 

that in our best judgment, the piece, while 

basically of the period, has been substantially 

altered or restored and in some cases it may also 

indicate that the piece has been constructed from 

old parts. 

Regency Style Sofa Table 

The inclusion of the word “style” in the heading 

indicates that, in our opinion, the piece is an 

intentional copy or reproduction of an earlier 

work or style of works. 

PAINTINGS 

Nicolaes Maes 

In our best judgment the work is by the named 

artist. This is our highest category of authenticity 

in the present catalogue. 

Attributed to Nicolaes Maes 

In our best judgment, while the work is of the 

period of the named artist, and on the basis of 

style can be ascribed to him, we cannot state with 

certainty that it is by him. 

School of Nicolaes Maes 

In our best judgment, the work is of the period of 

the named artist, by a pupil or close follower of 

the artist, but is not by the artist. 

Circle of Nicolaes Maes 

In our best judgment, the work is of the period of 

the named artist and closely related to his style. 

Manner of Nicolaes Maes or After 

Nicolaes Maes or Follower of 

Nicolaes Maes 

In our best judgment, although the work is in the 

style of or a copy of a work by the named artist, it 

is of a later period. 

Signed Nicolaes Maes 

In our best judgment, the signature, monogram, 

initials or other similar indicia of authorship is a 

recognized signature of the artist and appears in 

one of the six areas of the painting designated as 

follows: 

(u.l.) Upper left 

(l.l.) Lower left 

(u.r.) Upper right 

(l.r.) Lower right 

(u.c.) Upper center 

(l.c.) Lower center 

Bears signature, Nicolaes Maes 

In our best judgment, the signature, monogram, 

initials or other similar indicia of authorship is not 

that of the artist and may have been added at a 

later date. 

Dated 

In our best judgment, the date indicated on the 

work is the date the work was executed. 

Dated (for bronzes) 

In our best judgment, the date indicated when 

the original model was executed. Since the exact 

date of the casting of a bronze sculpture is often 

unknown and illustrations 

in reference books may not specify which 

particular cast is discussed or illustrated, it should 

be pointed out that dates of execution and 

entries listed under Literature in the 

individual catalogue entries do not necessarily 

refer to the castings included in the sale. 

PRINTS 

Name of Artist 

Subject to the Conditions of Sale and Terms of 

Guarantee set forth in this catalogue, and except 

where stated as being “after” or “attributed to” 

an artist, each lot is by the artist appearing at 

the head of the lot, except in the case of lots 

containing works by more than one artist.

1. BINDING TERMS 

The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered 

by Doyle New York as owner or as agent for 

consignor subject to the following terms and 

conditions. Where Doyle is agent, the contract is 

between seller and buyer. The following 

Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee 

constitute the entire agreement with the 

purchaser relative to the property listed in this 

catalogue. By bidding at auction you agree to be 

bound by these terms: 

2. AS IS 

All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and 

neither Doyle New York nor its consignor makes 

any warranties or representations, express or 

implied, with respect to such lots, except for the 

limited warranties expressly stated in the Terms of 

Guarantee section of this catalogue. Prospective 

buyers are strongly advised to examine personally 

any property in which they are interested, 

before the auction takes place, to determine its 

condition, size, and whether or not it has been 

repaired or restored. 

Except as otherwise expressly and specifically 

provided in the Terms of Guarantee, neither 

Doyle New York nor its consignor makes any 

express or implied warranty or representation of 

any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, 

fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue 

or other description of the physical condition, 

size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, 

genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, 

culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or 

historical significance of any lot sold. The absence 

of any reference to the condition of a lot does 

not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or 

completely free from wear and tear, imperfections 

or the effects of aging; nor does a reference to 

particular defects imply the absence of others. 

References in the catalogue entry or the 

condition report to damage or restoration are 

for guidance only and should be evaluated 

by personal inspection by the bidder or a 

knowledgeable representative. 

The Terms of Guarantee are controlling, and no 

statement, whether written or oral, and whether 

made in this catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of 

sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the 

remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be 

deemed to create any warranty, 

representation or assumption of liability. All statements 

by Doyle New York in the catalogue entry 

for the property or in the condition report, or 

made orally or in writing elsewhere, are 

statements of opinion and are not to be relied 

on as statements of fact. Except as stated in the 

Terms of Guarantee, neither Doyle New York nor 

the seller is responsible in any way for errors or 

omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental 

material. Buyers are responsible for satisfying 

themselves concerning the condition of the 

property and the matters referred to in the 

catalogue entry. 

Doyle New York and its consignor make no 

warranty or representation, express or implied, 

that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or 

reproduction rights to any lot sold. Doyle New 

York expressly reserves the right to reproduce 

any image of the lots sold in this catalogue. The 

copyright in all images, illustrations and written 

material produced by or for Doyle New York 

relating to a lot, including the contents of this 

catalogue, is, and shall remain at all times, the 

property of Doyle New York and shall not be used 

by the buyer, nor by anyone else, without our 

prior written consent. 

3. WITHDRAWAL 

Doyle New York reserves the right to withdraw 

any lot at any time prior to the commencement 

of bidding for such lot and shall have no liability 

whatsoever for such withdrawal. 

4. RESERVES 

If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is 

below the value of the lot offered, the auctioneer 

may reject that bid and withdraw the lot from 

sale; and if, having acknowledged an opening 

bid, he decides that any advance thereafter is 

insufficient, he may reject that advance. 

Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered 

subject to a reserve, which is the confidential 

minimum price below which such lot will not be 

sold. No reserve will exceed the low estimate 

of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with the 

consignor or, in the absence thereof, in the 

absolute discretion of Doyle New York. 

Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all 

bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. 

Lots marked C preceding the estimate are 

consigned and reserved. Those marked • are 

reserved property in which Doyle New York has 

an interest. 

Doyle New York on occasion makes loans or 

advances funds to consignors. 

The auctioneer may implement the reserve by 

opening bidding on any lot by placing a bid 

on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer will not 

specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the 

seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf 

of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve, by 

placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot 

or by placing bids in response to other bidders. 

Unless otherwise noted in the catalogue or by an 

announcement at the auction, Doyle New York 

acts as agent on behalf of the seller and does not 

permit the seller to bid on his or her 

own property. 

5. ESTIMATES 

Each lot in the catalogue is given a low and high 

estimate representing that range which, in the 

opinion of Doyle New York, represents a fair and 

probable auction value. When possible, the 

estimate is based on previous auction records 

of comparable property, condition, rarity, 

quality and provenances. The estimates are often 

determined several months before a sale and are 

therefore subject to change upon further research 

of the property, or to reflect market conditions 

or currency fluctuations. Estimates are subject to 

revision. Actual prices realized for items can fall 

below or above this range. An estimate of the 

selling price should not be relied on as a 

statement that this is the price at which the 

item will sell or its value for any other purpose. 

Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium. 

Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please 

contact the Specialist Department for 

further information. 

6. BIDDING 

Doyle New York reserves the right, at our 

complete discretion, to refuse admission to the 

premises or participation in any auction and to 

reject any bid, as well as the right to refuse to 

acknowledge any bidder. The highest bidder 

acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the 

purchaser. The auctioneer has the right at his 

absolute and sole discretion to advance the 

bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to 

withdraw or divide any lot, and to combine any 

two or more lots. In the event of error or dispute 

between bidders, or in the event of doubt on 

our part as to the validity of any bid, whether 

during or after the sale, the auctioneer has final 

discretion to determine the successful bidder, to 

continue the bidding, to cancel the sale, or to 

reoffer and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute 

arises after the sale, the Doyle New York sale 

record shall be conclusive. 

7. PURCHASER’S RESPONSIBILITY 

Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s 

hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder, 

subject to the conditions of sale set forth herein. 

Such bidder thereupon assumes full risk and 

responsibility therefor (including, without 

limitation, liability for or damage to frames and 

glass covering prints, paintings or other works). 

Although in our discretion we will execute orders 

or absentee bids or accept telephone bids as a 

convenience to clients who are not present at 

auctions, we are notresponsible for any errors or 

omissions in connection therewith. 

When making a bid, a bidder is accepting 

personal liability to pay the purchase price as 

follows, unless it has been explicitly agreed in 

writing with Doyle New York before the 

commencement of the sale that the bidder is 

acting as agent on behalf of an identified third 

party acceptable to Doyle New York, and that 

Doyle New York will look only to the principal 

for payment: 

The total purchase price to be paid by 

purchaser is the amount of the successful bid 

price plus a premium of 25% on the first $50,000 

of the hammer price, 20% on the portion from 

$50,001 through $1,000,000, and 12% on that 

portion of the hammer price exceeding 

$1,000,000. Payment shall be made as follows: 

A cash deposit of not less than 25% of the 

purchase price (unless the whole purchase price is 

required at the sole discretion of Doyle New York) 

will be paid on the day of the auction. Deposits 

shall apply to all purchases made at this sale and 

not to any one particular lot.

II

Conditions of sale continued 

terms of guarantee 

Prior to the sale, the buyer must provide us with 

his or her name and permanent address and, if so 

requested, details of the bank from which 

payment will be made. 

The balance of the purchase price, if any, will be 

paid not later than 5 pm one (1) day following 

the day of the auction. Such payment shall be 

made in U.S. dollars by certified or cashier check 

drawn on a U.S. bank unless other arrangements 

are made with Doyle New York. The buyer will 

not acquire title to the lot until we have received 

all amounts due to us from the buyer in good 

cleared funds even in circumstances where we 

have released the lot to the buyer. Doyle New 

York reserves the right to hold merchandise 

purchased by personal check until the check has 

cleared the bank. The purchaser agrees to pay 

Doyle New York a handling charge of $35 for any 

check dishonored by the drawee. 

At some auctions there may be a video or digital 

screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in 

the quality of the image, and Doyle New York 

does not accept liability for such errors. 

8. REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO 

DOYLE NEW YORK 

In addition to the other remedies available to 

us by law, we reserve the right to impose a late 

charge of 1 1/2% per month of the total purchase 

price if payment is not made in accordance with 

the conditions set forth herein. All property must 

be removed from our premises by the purchaser 

at their expense not later than (2) business days 

following its sale and, if it is not removed, Doyle 

New York reserves the right to charge a minimum 

storage fee of $5 per lot per day or to deliver the 

property to a public warehouse for storage at the 

purchaser’s expense, to be released only after 

payment in full of all removal, storage, handling, 

insurance and any other costs incurred, together 

with payment of all other amounts due to us. 

Doyle New York shall have no liability for any 

damage to property left on its premises for more 

than (2) days following the sale. 

If any applicable conditions herein are not 

complied with by the purchaser, in addition to 

other remedies available to us and the consignor 

by law, including without limitation the right to 

hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase 

price, including all fees, charges and expenses 

more fully set forth herein, we shall be entitled 

in our absolute discretion to exercise one or more 

of the following rights or remedies: 

a) To charge interest at such rate as we shall 

reasonably select; 

b) To hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total 

amount due and to commence legal proceedings 

for its recovery together with interest, legal fees 

and costs to the fullest extent permitted under 

applicable law; 

c) Cancel the sale of that, or any other lot or lots 

sold to the defaulting purchaser at the same or 

any other auction, retaining as liquidated 

damages all payments made by the purchaser; 

d) Resell the property whether at private sale or 

public auction without reserve, and the purchaser 

will be liable for any deficiency, cost, including 

handling charges, the expenses of both sales, 

our commission on both sales at our regular 

rate, all other charges due hereunder and 

incidental damages; 

e) To set off the outstanding amount remaining 

unpaid by the buyer against any amounts which 

we may owe the buyer in any other transactions; 

f) Where several amounts are owed by the buyer 

to us, in respect of different transactions, to apply 

any amount paid to discharge any amount owed 

in respect of any particular transaction, whether 

or not the buyer so directs; 

g) To reject at any future auction any bids made 

by or on behalf of the buyer or to require a 

deposit from the buyer before accepting 

any bids; 

h) To take such other actions as we deem 

necessary or appropriate; or 

i) To effect any combination thereof. 

In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be 

deemed to have granted and assigned to us a 

continuing security interest of first priority in, and 

we may retain as collateral security for such 

purchaser’s obligations to us, any property or 

money of or owing to such purchaser in our 

possession. We shall have all of the rights 

accorded a secured party under the New York 

Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such 

property and we may apply against such 

obligations all monies held or received by us for 

the account of, or due from us, to such purchaser. 

At our option, payment will not be deemed to 

have been made in full until we have collected 

funds represented by checks, or in the case of 

bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed their 

authenticity. In the event the purchaser fails to 

pay any or all of the total purchaser price for any 

lot and Doyle New York nonetheless elects to pay 

the consignor any portion of the sale proceeds, 

the purchaser acknowledges that Doyle New 

York shall have all of the rights of the consignor 

to pursue the purchaser for any amounts paid to 

the consignor, whether at law, in equity, or under 

these Conditions of Sale. 

9. LIMITED LIABILITY 

If for any cause a purchased lot cannot be 

delivered in as good condition as at the time 

of sale, or should any purchased lot be stolen 

or mis-delivered or lost prior to delivery, Doyle 

New York shall not be liable for any amount in 

excess of that paid by the purchaser. We are not 

responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers 

or packers of purchased lots, whether or not 

recommended by us. Packing and handling of 

purchased lots by us is at the entire risk of the 

purchaser and Doyle New York will have no 

liability for any loss or damage to such items.

Doyle New York warrants the authenticity of 

authorship of each lot contained in this catalogue 

solely and expressly subject to the terms and 

conditions set forth below. 

1. DEFINITION OF AUTHORSHIP 

“Authorship” is defined as the artist, artisan, 

workshop, designer, school, period, culture, or 

source of origin, as applicable and indicated in 

the description of the lot. The warranted 

information appears in bold print immediately 

following the individual lot number; no other 

language in the catalogue is warranted, including 

any supplemental material which appears below 

the bold print headings. Doyle New York is not 

responsible for any errors or omissions in any 

material, which appears below the bold print 

headings. The description of authorship in this 

catalogue may be amended by a supplement to 

the catalogue, or by notices or announcements 

at the time and place of the auction sale. This 

catalogue may contain one or more glossaries 

explaining the terminology used in the catalogue. 

All terminology used in this catalogue, including 

the contents of the glossaries, are merely 

qualified statements or opinions and are not 

intended or made as warranted statements or 

representations under these Terms of Guarantee. 

Doyle New York makes no warranties whatsoever, 

express or implied, with respect to any material 

in the catalogue, except as set forth in bold print 

headings following individual lot numbers in this 

catalogue and subject to the exclusions set 

forth below. 

2. COVERAGE UNDER 

THE GUARANTEE 

Subject to the exclusions set forth below in 

paragraphs 5 and 6, Doyle New York warrants the 

authorship (as that term is defined above) of each 

lot in this catalogue for a period of five years from 

the date of the sale of the lot. The guarantee is 

made only to the original purchaser of record at 

the auction, and only the registered bidder for 

the lot at the auction will be considered as the 

original purchaser. The buyer must give written 

notice of claim within five years from the date of 

the auction. Doyle New York may require, 

at its option, to have the purchaser obtain at the 

purchaser’s expense the opinion of two 

recognized experts (approved by Doyle New 

York) in the field relating to the item in question, 

before Doyle New York determines whether to 

rescind a sale under the above warranty. Upon 

request, Doyle New York will provide the 

purchaser with the names of acceptable experts. 

3. NON-ASSIGNABILITY 

The benefits of this warranty are not assignable 

and shall be applicable only to the original 

purchaser of record (i.e., the registered bidder) 

and not to any subsequent owners (including, 

without limitation, donees, heirs, successors, 

beneficiaries or assigns) who have, or may 

acquire, an interest in any purchased property. 

The original buyer must have remained the owner 

of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to 

any third party. 

4. SOLE REMEDY 

The purchaser agrees that in the case of a breach 

of warranty under these Terms of Guarantee, he 

shall have no remedy other than rescission of the 

sale and the refund of the original purchase price 

paid. The original purchase price paid is defined 

as the amount of the successful bid price, plus the 

buyer’s premium. No rescission and refund will be 

made unless the item is returned to Doyle New 

York at 175 East 87th Street, New York, NY 10128, 

in the same condition as at the time of sale. The 

remedy of rescission and refund is exclusive and 

the purchaser waives any other remedy which 

may be otherwise available in law or equity. 

Doyle New York shall not be liable for any special, 

consequential or incidental damages incurred 

or claimed including, without limitation, loss of 

profits or for interest. 

5. EXCLUSIONS 

This warranty does not apply to: 

i. authorship of any paintings, drawings or 

sculpture created prior to 1870, unless the lot is 

determined to be a counterfeit which has a value 

at the date of the claim for rescission which is 

materially less than the purchase price paid for 

the lot; or 

ii. any catalogue description where it was 

specifically mentioned that there is a conflict of 

specialist opinion on the authorship of a lot; or 

iii. authorship which on the date of sale was in 

accordance with the then generally accepted 

opinion of scholars and specialists, despite 

the subsequent discovery of new information, 

whether historical or physical, concerning the artist 

or craftsman, his students, school, 

workshop or followers; or 

iv. the identification of periods or dates of 

execution which may be proven inaccurate by 

means of scientific processes not generally 

accepted for use until after publication of the 

catalogue, or which were unreasonably expensive 

or impractical to use at the time of publication of 

the catalogue. 

The term counterfeit is defined as a modern fake 

or forgery, made less than fifty years ago, and 

made with the intent to deceive. The authenticity 

of signatures, monograms, initials or other similar 

indications of authorship is expressly excluded as 

a controlling factor in determining whether a work 

is a counterfeit under the meaning of this Terms 

of Warranty. 

6. LIMITED WARRANTY 

As stated in paragraph 2 of the Conditions of 

Sale, neither Doyle New York nor its consignor 

makes any express or implied representations or 

warranties whatsoever concerning any property 

in the catalogue, including without limitation, 

any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a 

particular purpose, except as specifically and 

expressly provided in these Terms of Guarantee.

information on sales anD use tax 

related to purchases at auction 

To better assist our clients, we have prepared 

the following information on Sales and Use 

Tax related to property purchased at auction. 

WHY DOYLE NEW YORK 

COLLECTS SALES TAX 

Virtually all State Sales Tax Laws require a 

corporation to register with the State’s Tax 

Authorities and collect and remit sales tax if the 

corporation maintains a presence within the state, 

such as offices. In the states that impose sales tax, 

Tax Laws require an auction house, with a 

presence in the state, to register as a sales tax 

collector, and remit sales taxcollected to the 

state. New York sales tax is charged on the 

hammer price, buyer’s premium and any other 

applicable charges on any property picked up 

or delivered in New York, regardless of the state 

or country in which the purchaser resides or 

does business. 

WHERE DOYLE NEW YORK 

COLLECTS SALES TAX 

Doyle New York is currently registered to collect 

sales tax in the following states: New York and the 

District of Columbia. 

For any property collected or received by the 

purchaser in New York City, such property is 

subject to sales tax at the existing New York State 

and City rate of 8.875%. 

If the property is delivered into any of the states 

in which Doyle New York is registered, Doyle New 

York is required by law to collect and remit the 

appropriate sales tax in effect in the state where 

the property is delivered. 

Property collected from Doyle New York premises 

by common carriers on behalf of the purchaser for 

delivery to the purchaser at his address outside 

of New York is not subject to New York Sales Tax. 

If it is delivered by the common carrier to any of 

the states where Doyle New York is required to 

collect sales tax, applicable tax will be added to 

the purchase price. 

WHERE DOYLE NEW YORK IS NOT 

REQUIRED TO COLLECT SALES TAX 

Doyle New York is not required to collect sales tax 

on property delivered to states other than those 

listed above. If the property is delivered to a state 

where Doyle New York is not required to collect 

sales tax, it is the responsibility of the purchaser 

to self-assess any sales or use tax and remit it to 

taxing authorities in that state. 


for property delivered to the purchaser outside of 

the United States. 

RESTORATION AND 

OTHER SERVICES 

Regardless of where the property is subsequently 

transported, if any framing or restoration services 

are performed in New York, it is considered to be 

a delivery of the property to the purchaser in New 

York, and Doyle New York will be required to 

collect the 8.875% New York sales tax. 

LOCAL TAX ADVISORS 

As sales tax laws vary from state to state, 

Doyle New York recommends that clients with 

questions regarding the application of sales or 

use taxes to property purchased at auction seek 

tax advice form their local tax advisors. 

CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS 

Most states that impose sales taxes allow for 

specified exemptions to the tax. For example, a 

registered re-seller such as a registered art dealer 

may purchase without incurring a tax liability, and 


from such re-seller. The art dealer, when re-selling 

the property, may be required to charge sales 

tax to its client, or the client may be required 

to self-assess sales or use tax upon acquiring 

the property. 

If a not-for-profit or charitable organization is 

selling property through Doyle New York, it 

may be sold as a tax exempted purchase. The 

not-for-profit seller must be registered with the 

New York Department of Taxation and Finance as 

an exempt organization and the property must 

be picked up or delivered in New York. However, 

a compensating use tax is due from the buyer if 

any such lot is shipped to any of the states where 

Doyle New York maintains offices. It is the buyer’s 

responsibility to ascertain and pay all taxes due. 

Buyers claiming exemption from sales tax must 

have the appropriate documentation on file with 

Doyle New York prior to the release of 

the property. 

buying at doyle

If you are new to the auction process, please take 

a moment to review the following information. 

The following will help in understanding the 

auction buying process. All bidders should read 

the Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee 

in this catalogue, as well as the Glossary or any 

other notices. By bidding at auction, bidders are 

bound by the Conditions of Sale and Terms of 

Guarantee, as amended by oral announcements 

or posted notices, which together form the sale 

contract between the successful bidder 

(purchaser), Doyle New York and the seller 

(consignor) of the lot. 

BEFORE YOU BID 

Doyle New York produces both printed and Internet 

auction catalogues that contain 

descriptions of the property being offered and 

the presale estimates and are available prior to 

the sale date. Our free Internet catalogues, 

available at DoyleNewYork.com, also provide 

illustrations, direct communication with our 

specialists, and the ability to leave online 

absentee bids and track lots. The catalogues will 

help familiarize you with property being offered 

at the designated auction. In addition, 

DoyleNewYork.com offers a free Internet Personal 

Shopper that allows collectors to enter keywords 

of objects they are seeking. As each Internet 

auction catalogue is posted online, the collector 

is notified by email of any matches. 

A prospective buyer must complete and sign 

a registration form and provide identification 

before bidding. We may require the production 

of bank or other financial references. 

Provenance 

In certain circumstances, Doyle New York may 

print in the catalogue the history of ownership of 

a work of art if such information contributes to 

scholarship or is otherwise well known and assists 

in distinguishing the work of art. However, the 

identity of the seller or previous owners may not 

be disclosed for a variety of reasons. For 

example, such information may be excluded 

to accommodate a seller’s request for 

confidentiality or because the identity of prior 

owners is unknown given the age of the work 

of art. 

Specialist’s Advice 

Prospective bidders may be interested in 

specific information not included in the catalogue 

description of a lot. For additional information 

please contact either a Doyle New York specialist 

or Doyle New York’s Client Services Department. 

You may also request a condition report from the 

specialist in charge. 

BIDDING AT AUCTION 

Auctions are open to the public without any 

admission fee or obligation to bid. Pre-auction 

viewings are open to the public free of charge. 

Doyle New York’s specialists are available to give 

advice and condition reports at viewings or by 

appointment. The auctioneer introduces the 

objects for sale - known as “lots” - in numerical 

order as listed in the catalogue. The auctioneer 

accepts bids from those present in the salesroom, 

from telephone bidders, from Internet bidders or 

by absentee written bids left with Doyle New York 

in advance of the auction. 

Live Bidding 

The most exciting way to participate at auction 

is the traditional method of bidding live in the 

salesroom with an auction paddle. Buyers who 

would like to bid may register for a paddle on the 

day of the sale upon entering the salesroom at 

least 30 minutes before the sale. The paddle is 

numbered so as to identify you to the auctioneer. 

To register, you will need a form of identification 

such as a driver’s license or credit card. If you 

are a first-time bidder, you will also be asked for 

your address, phone number and signature and 

a bank reference in order to create your account. 

To avoid any delay in the release of purchases, 

please pre-arrange check or credit approval 

through Doyle New York’s Credit Department 

at 212-427-4141 ext. 205. If you are bidding for 

someone else, you will need to provide a letter 

from that person authorizing you to bid on that 

person’s behalf. Issuance of a bid paddle is in 

Doyle New York’s sole discretion. 

Once the first bid has been placed, the 

auctioneer asks for higher bids, in increments 

determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, 

simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer 

acknowledges you. 

As a courtesy to bidders, a currency board may 

be operated. It displays the lot number and 

current bid in both U.S. dollars and foreign 

currency. Exchange rates are approximations 

based on recent exchange rate information and 

should not be relied upon as a precise invoice 

amount. Doyle New York assumes no 

responsibility for any error or omission in foreign 

or United States currency amounts shown. 

Absentee Bidding 

For buyers unable to participate live in the 

salesroom or on the telephone, Doyle offers the 

option of Absentee Bids. Absentee Bids work 

exactly as if the bidder were in the salesroom 

bidding up to a predetermined price limit, except 

that the price limit is given confidentially to Doyle 

ahead of time. Absentee Bid Forms are available 

on our Web site, in our printed catalogues, and 

through our Client Services Department. Return 

the completed Absentee Bid Form to Doyle New 

York either by mail or by fax. When the lot that 

you are interested in comes up for sale, a Doyle 

New York representative will execute the bid on 

your behalf, making every effort to purchase the 

item for as little as possible and never exceeding 

your limit. The auctioneer may execute absentee 

bids directly from the rostrum, identifying these 

as “absentee bids,” “book bids,” or “order bids.” 

This service is free and confidential. For detailed 

instructions and information, please see the 

Doyle New York Absentee Bid Form at the back 

of this catalogue or on our Web site. In the event 

that identical bids are submitted, the earliest will 

take precedence. 

Internet Bidding 

Buyers may also conveniently leave bids on our 

Web site through our Internet catalogues. These 

bids are executed at the auction in the same 

fashion as an Absentee Bid. 

Telephone Bidding 

Clients unable to attend the sale may still 

participate live by bidding on the telephone 

with a trained staff member on the auction floor. 

The Telephone Bid Forms are available on our 

Web site, in our printed catalogue, and through 

our Client Services Department. Please contact 

the Bid Department prior to the sale to make 

arrangements or to answer any questions you 

may have. Telephone bids are accepted only at 

Doyle New York’s discretion and at the caller’s 

risk. Calls may also be recorded at Doyle New 

York’s discretion. By bidding on the telephone, 

prospective buyers consent thereto. Telephone 

bids cannot be accepted for lot estimated below 

$1,000. Arrangements must be confirmed with 

the Bid Department at least 24 hours prior to the 

auction at 212-427-4141 ext. 242. Arrangements 

to bid in languages other than English must be 

made well in advance of the sale date. Doyle New 

York offers all absentee and telephone bidding 

services as a convenience to our clients but will 

not be responsible for errors or failures 

to execute bids. 

Successful Bids 

Successful absentee bidders will be notified 

after the sale. Absentee bidders will receive 

a list of sale results if they enclose a stamped 

self-addressed envelope with their Absentee Bid 

Form. Printed lists of auction prices are available 

immediately after the sale on our Web site and at 

our galleries. While invoices are sent out by mail 

after the auction, we do not accept responsibility 

for notifying you of the result of your bids. Buyers 

are requested to contact us by telephone or in 

person as soon as possible after the sale to 

obtain details of the outcome of their bids to 

avoid incurring unnecessary storage charges.

After The Auction 

If your bid is successful, you can go directly to 

Purchaser Accounting to make payment 

arrangements. Otherwise, your invoice will be 

mailed to you. The final price is determined by 

adding the buyer’s premium to the hammer price 

on a per-lot basis. Sales tax, where applicable, 

will be charged on the entire amount. Payment 

is due in full immediately after the sale. However, 

under certain circumstances, and generally with 

the seller’s agreement, Doyle New York may offer 

buyers it deems creditworthy the option of an 

extended payment plan. Credit terms should be 

arranged prior to the sale. Please contact the 

Credit Department for information on credit 

arrangements for a particular lot. 

Methods of Payment 

Accepted forms of payment include bank wire 

transfers, cash (in US currency up to $5,000), 

traveler’s check (in US currency up to $5,000), 

money orders (in US currency up to $5,000), 

or personal check made payable in US dollars 

drawn on a US bank, unless other arrangements 

are made with Purchaser Accounts. It is Doyle 

New York’s policy to request any new clients or 

purchasers preferring to make a cash payment 

to provide: verification of identity (by providing 

some form of government issued identification 

containing a photograph, such as a passport, 

identity card, or driver’s license), confirmation 

of permanent address and identification of the 

source of the funds. Invoices greater than $5,000 

require payment by certified check, bank check 

or wire transfer. Credit cards are not accepted for 

payment of auction purchases. 

To pay for a purchase by check, please see our 

cashier and fill out a Check Acceptance 

Account form. Until approved, you will not be 

permitted to remove purchases before the check 

has cleared. To avoid delivery delays, prospective 

buyers are encouraged to supply bank or other 

suitable references before the auction. Check 

acceptance privileges are reviewed from time to 

time by Doyle New York and may be granted or 

withdrawn at our sole discretion. Checks should 

be made payable to Doyle New York. Note that 

checks drawn on foreign banks may be accepted 

with the approval of the Credit Department, may 

not be accepted for values under $500, and that 

there is a $100 minimum collection charge on 

checks drawn on foreign banks located outside 

the U.S. Certified checks, banker’s drafts and 

cashier’s checks are accepted at Doyle New York’s 

discretion provided they are issued by a 

reputable financial institution governed by 

anti-money laundering laws. Instruments not 

meeting these requirements will be treated 

as “cash equivalents” and subject to the 

constraints noted above. 

Please direct inquiries regarding wire transfer 

or ACH credit to Steven L. Kuzio, 212.427.4141 

ext. 202, steven.kuzio@doylenewyork.com 

Buyer’s Premium 

The invoice will include the successful hammer 

price of the item and the buyer’s premium. Doyle 

New York charges a premium to the buyer on the 

final bid price of each lot sold at the following 

rates: 25% on the first $50,000 of the hammer 

price, 20% on the portion from $50,001 through 

$1,000,000, and 12% on that portion of the 

hammer price exceeding $1,000,000. Applicable 

sales tax will also be added to the final total. 

New York Sales tax is charged on the hammer 

price, buyer’s premium and any other applicable 

charges on any property picked up or delivered in 

New York State, regardless of the state or country 

in which the purchaser resides or does business. 

Please refer to “Information on Sales and Use Tax 

Related to Purchases at Auction” in the back of 

the catalogue. All sales are final and subject to 

the Conditions of Sale. 

Pick-Ups 

Once your payment has been cleared, property 

may be released. Unless otherwise agreed by 

Doyle New York, auction purchases should be 

paid for and picked up at Doyle New York within 

48 hours of the auction. Items left beyond the 

48 hours may be subject to a storage fee (see 

below). Please note that the hours for removal of 

property are Monday through Friday from 8:15am 

until 4:45pm, except on auction days during 

which only purchases made that day may be 

picked up. As a courtesy to purchasers who come 

to Doyle New York to pick up property, Doyle 

New York will assist in the packing of lots, 

although Doyle New York may, in the case of 

fragile articles, choose not to pack or otherwise 

handle a purchase. Doyle New York will not be 

responsible or liable for damage to glass covering 

paintings, drawings or other works, or damage to 

frames, regardless of cause. 

Storage Fees 

Pursuant to section 8 of our Conditions of Sale, 

we request that successful buyers collect their 

property within two business days following the 

sale. Should the property (except jewelry, coins, 

stamps or as announced by the auctioneer) 

remain on our premises for more than 31 days 

following a sale it will be transferred to an 

independent warehouse on the buyer’s behalf 

at the purchaser’s risk and subject to storage 

charges at the purchaser’s expense. As 

transferred property will no longer be in Doyle 

New York’s custody or care, Doyle New York will 

not be able to assist you with pick-up or shipping 

arrangements. To avoid storage charges, please 

arrange for the removal of your purchases as soon 

as possible. 

Please Note: Transfer to a Storage facility of 

uncollected purchases past the 31-day grace 

period will constitute delivery of the property to 

the buyer in New York State. As a result, buyer will 

be liable to pay New York State Sales Tax if not 

tax-exempt. 

The charges are payable to an outside Storage 

Company and therefore cannot be waived by 

Doyle New York. We encourage all buyers to 

collect purchased property within two business 

days following the sale. 

In order to collect property from Yorkville Van and 

Storage, buyers must present a copy of a paid 

invoice bearing a Yorkville warehouse release 

stamp. This warehouse release stamp can only 

be obtained from the cashier at Doyle New York’s 

main reception desk located at 175 East 87th St 

in Manhattan. 

Shipping 

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Upon 

request, our Client Services Department will 

provide a list of shippers who deliver to 

destinations within the United States and 

overseas. Kindly disregard the sales tax if an 

I.C.C. licensed shipper will ship your purchases 

anywhere outside the state of New York or the 

District of Columbia. 

Endangered Species 

Certain property sold at auction, for example, 

items made of or incorporating plant or animal 

materials such as coral, crocodile, ivory, 

whalebone, tortoise shell, etc., irrespective of 

age or value, may require a license or certificate 

prior to exportation and additional licenses or 

certificates upon importation to another country. 

Doyle New York suggests that buyers check on 

their government wildlife import requirements 

prior to placing a bid. Although licenses can be 

obtained to export some types of endangered 

species, other types may not be exported at all, 

and other types may not be resold in the 

United States. 

At Doyle New York, we commit our expertise, 

experience, market knowledge and global 

outreach to every sale. The numerous auction 

records set in our salesrooms are testimony to 

the advantages of selling property at Doyle. To 

make the auction process as easy and convenient 

as possible, our team of dedicated professionals 

will guide you through the entire appraisal and 

auction procedure. As part of our commitment 

to providing comprehensive auction services to 

collectors, institutions and estates, Doyle New 

York offers several options to those seeking to 

sell their property: consignment of the objects to 

auction at Doyle, outright sale of the objects to 

Doyle, a combination of both, or referrals to 

other organizations. 

OBTAINING AN APPRAISAL 

The first step in selling property at auction is to 

obtain a free informal appraisal of the item. The 

appraisal includes an estimated value, which is 

the specialist’s best judgement as to what the 

object will sell for at auction. The figure is based 

upon the specialist’s expertise and knowledge 

of what similar items are fetching in the current 

auction market. 

There are various ways to obtain appraisals. 

Information and appointments to view property 

in your home or in the gallery can be arranged 

through our Scheduling Department, an 

appropriate Specialist Department, or a Doyle 

New York Regional Representative. Once your 

property has been evaluated, Doyle New York 

representatives can then help you determine how 

to proceed with the auction process. They will 

provide information regarding sellers’ 

commission rates and other charges, auction 

timetable, shipping and any other further services 

you may require. 

Submitting Photographs 

We welcome photographs of property to 

evaluate for possible auction if the property is 

not portable, or if you are not able to visit our 

galleries. If you have a large collection, a 

representative selection of photographs is 

acceptable. Please bring in the photographs or 

email photos of your objects to the Scheduling 

Department. You may also mail photographs to 

the Scheduling Department, or call them at 

212-427-4141, ext. 260, to discuss your property 

and perhaps arrange an appointment with a 

specialist. Please be sure to include the 

dimensions, artist’s signature or maker’s mark, 

medium, physical condition, and any other 

relevant information. Our specialists will provide a 

free preliminary auction estimate subject to a final 

estimate upon first hand inspection. 

Walk-In Consignment Days At Doyle 

New York 

Doyle New York hosts free Walk-In Consignment 

Days at our gallery on select Fridays from 9:30am 

until 11:30am. Our team of specialists provide 

auction estimates for collectors considering 

selling at auction. 

At these events, we accept property for 

upcoming sales through bothconsignment and 

outright purchase. Limit three items, photographs 

areacceptable. For a schedule of upcoming 

Walk-In Fridays, visit DoyleNewYork.com or call 

212-427-2730. 

Regional Appraisal Days 

Doyle New York’s Regional Representatives host 

free appraisal days on a regular basis throughout 

Connecticut, the metropolitan Washington, DC 

area, as well as in other areas throughout the 

United States. These popular events provide ease 

and convenience for collectors outside of New 

York who wish to sell their property at Doyle. At 

these events, we accept property for upcoming 

auctions in our New York salesrooms through 

both consignment and outright purchase. 

SELLING YOUR PROPERTY 

Consigning To Auction 

In consigning property to auction, the seller 

retains ownership until the successful sale of the 

item at auction. When property is consigned to 

Doyle for auction, we devote the expertise of 

our specialists and professional staff to achieving 

outstanding prices at auction. 

The Consignment Contract 

When you consign property to Doyle New York 

you will receive two copies of our Consignment 

Agreement, the legal document delineating 

the terms of sale. One copy should be initialed, 

signed and returned; the other kept for your 

records. Once the property is received in our 

gallery, you will be sent a Contract Schedule 

listing the property, the planned sale dates, the 

estimated price ranges, and the reserves will be 

listed, along with the agreed upon seller’s 

commission and other related fees. 

Reserve Price 

Before an item is offered at auction, the 

consignor and Doyle New York may agree on 

a reserve price, a confidential minimum selling 

price. Unless a specific reserve is arranged, a 

discretionary reserve is fixed at fifty percent of 

the low estimate. If the consignor designates a 

reserve on a lot, and it remains unsold, there will 

be a buy-in fee charged on the reserve price. 

Outright Sale To Doyle 

Outright purchase of property by Doyle allows the 

seller the advantage and convenience of immediate 

payment. Many sellers prefer this method of 

sale rather than consigning their property to auct 

ion and awaiting payment after the successful 

sale of the items. For further information please 

contact our Scheduling Department. 

After the auction 

Results Of Sale 

You may track realized prices of your consigned 

property in real time and view all sales results 

on line at DoyleNewYork.com. A preliminary 

settlement statement itemizing the hammer 

prices, commissions and fees is mailed to the 

consignor after the auction. You may also call us 

at 212-427-2730 for prices realized. 

Payment To Consignors 

Payment to consignors is mailed five weeks 

after the date of the sale, together with a final 

settlement statement. The amount of payment 

is the hammer price of each lot successfully sold, 

less the commission and any other fees. 

Estate and 

APPRAISAL Services 

For forty years, Doyle New York’s Appraisal and 

Auction Services Department has worked with 

museums, corporate collections, banks and law 

firms, trust and estate professionals, heirs, and 

private clients across the nation providing our 

comprehensive appraisal and auction services. 

Our thorough, well-researched fair market 

appraisals have earned Doyle a solid reputation 

for professionalism, integrity and service 

throughout the United States. 

Doyle New York offers a full range of expert 

appraisal services, specializing in providing timely 

formal appraisals for estate tax and probate 

purposes. Our expert team of specialists and 

our professional staff bring years of experience 

to each appraisal. Full color digital photographs 

may be included in the appraisal in order to make 

each object easily identifiable. Depending on the 

location, we are happy to provide, at no charge, 

a preliminary walk-through examination to 

determine approximate costs and special needs. 

Appraisal fees are based on the scope of the 

property with travel expenses additional. 

Doyle New York will prepare a customized 

proposal tailored to the specific property under 

consideration for auction, including a commission 

and fee structure developed to maximize returns 

to consignors. We may also make an outright 

purchase offer on individual items or entire 

estates. As part of our focus on comprehensive 

estate liquidation, we offer our unique 

“Broomclean Service” – our own trucks and crew 

will transport the fine property to Doyle, remove 

remaining items, and leave the 

premises “broomclean.”

Absentee and telephone bid forms must be submitted in 

writing by 5pm (Eastern) the evening before the auction. 

Submit in person at the gallery, fax to 212-427-7526, or email 

to Bids@DoyleNewYork.com. You will receive confirmation by 

email. If you do not receive confirmation, please resubmit your 

bids or call Client Services at 212-427-4141, ext 242 or 207. 

Absentee bids may be submitted online at DoyleNewYork.com 

until 8am (Eastern) on the day of sale. 

1. Telephone bids will only be accepted on lots with a low 

estimate of $1,000 and above. You must be prepared to bid 

at least to the low estimate. 

I understand and agree to the 

Terms and Conditions of Sale 

Signature (REQUIRED) 

2. Absentee bidding is a service provided with the understanding 

that Doyle New York shall not be responsible for 

errors and/or omissions. Changes to bids on the day of sale 

must be submitted in writing by fax or email. 

3. Absentee bids are executed in competition with the 

audience, on an alternate basis. Due to the uncertainties of 

bidding patterns, a lot may sell to the audience for the 

same amount or slightly less than your bid. To avoid this 

possibility, you may authorize us to increase your bid by one 

increment by placing a plus sign (+) beside the maximum 

bid. In the event that identical bids are submitted, the 

earliest will take precedence. Buyer’s Premium as stated in 

the Conditions of Sale will be added to the hammer price. 

4. Prices realized are published on DoyleNewYork.com. 

Successful bidders should make arrangements to have their 

purchases removed from the premises no later than 4:30pm 

on the day following the sale. Buyers unknown to Doyle 

New York are advised to arrange payment or supply credit 

references in advance of the sale date. Otherwise, purchases 

cannot leave our premises until checks have cleared. 

5. A 25% deposit may be required on certain absentee bids. 

• PLEASE NOTE: Lot descriptions do not include damage, 

repairs or restoration to items. The absence from the 

description of any such notes must not be taken to imply 

that the lot is in perfect condition. Condition reports are 

provided upon request. 

• PLEASE NOTE: Terms & Conditions of Sale may be viewed 

in the catalogue, on our Web site, and in our salesroom.
