2 [AFRICAN AMERICANA]. MERCER, Hugh (1726-1777). Manuscript last will and testament, describing a plantation purchased from George Washington. Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania County, VA, 20 March 1776. 4 pages, tall 4to, 7 1/2 x 11 9/16 in., string bound, toning, short separations at old creases, small loss to 2nd leaf at lower corner, light pencil marks and inscriptions throughout. Hugh Mercer (1726-1777) was a physician with a storied military career. Originally from Scotland, he served as an assistant surgeon with the Jacobites under Bonnie Prince Charlie, and was present at Charles’ defeat at the Battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746. He thereafter fled to America, settling in Pennsylvania and practicing medicine. He joined and was commissioned a captain in a Pennsylvania regiment during the Seven Years’ War. He rose to the rank of colonel and become close friends with George Washington, also a colonel and both serving under General John Forbes during the second attempt to capture Fort Duquesne. Mercer was put in command of the newly-constructed Fort Pitt after Forbes’s health made a steep decline. After the Seven Years’ War, he relocated to Fredericksburg, VA where he continued his medical practice and opened an apothecary. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge which counted George Washington and others who would become generals in the Continental Army among their membership. In 1774, Washington sold Mercer his childhood home, Ferry Farm, which is mentioned here in Mercer’s last will and testament: “I direct that after my decease my dear wife Isabella, if she survive me, and my children do reside on my plantation in King George County adjoining to Mr James Hanler’s Land a rich Plantation I purchased from General George Washington and that my executors here after named out of my personal estate purchase or hire negroes as they shall think best to work the said plantation during my said dear wife’s life time for the benefit of her and all my children equally.” He includes further instructions regarding the buildings: “I do hereby order and direct my executors after named to repair the old House now standing on the said Plantation or erect a new one for the residence of my said dear wife and children.” This document was composed after Mercer had joined the Continental Army. He was appointed colonel on 11 January 1776 of what became the 3rd Virginia Regiment of the Virginia Line. Both future President James Monroe and future Chief Justice John Marshall served as officers under his command. By June 1776, he was appointed brigadier general and left for New York to oversee the construction of Fort Lee. He played major roles in the First and Second Battles of Trenton. While leading a vanguard of soldiers en route to Princeton on 3 January 1777, he was mistaken for Washington and ordered to surrender but drew his sword though heavily outnumbered. He was bayonetted seven times and despite medical attention, died nine days later. $500 - 700

3 [AFRICAN AMERICANA - SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. The Liberator. Vol. VII, No. 18. Boston, MA: 28 April 1837. AN IMPORTANT ASSOCIATION COPY. 4 pp., folio, 18 x 25 1/2 in. Early anti-slavery newspaper identified in the upper margin in brown iron gall ink to “J. Gibbons,” attributing the paper to the Gibbons family, prominent Quakers in Lancaster, PA, active in the Underground Railroad. AN IMPORTANT ASSOCIATION COPY. Masthead with a woodcut engraving showing an enslaved person whipped by a slaveholder and a family being split apart and sold. The issue is filled with antislavery news and rhetoric with a front-page headline, “Slavery,” with a detailed letter 4 columns in length written and signed in type by President John Quincy Adams. Dated 20 March 1837, the letter discusses Adams’ opposition to slavery in the United States. During the first half of the 19th century, fugitives from south of the Mason-Dixon Line regularly arrived at the Gibbons family’s Underground Railroad station along mud-bottomed Mill Creek in Upper Leacock Township, Lancaster County. The Gibbons asked the fugitives to provide their names and ages, the names of the men who had enslaved them, and what part of the South they had left behind. They recorded these facts in a blank book. Then they gave the fugitives new identities and sent them on their way toward freedom. Three generations of Gibbons family members — James (1735–1810), Daniel (1775–1853) and Joseph (1818–1883) — participated in this dangerous enterprise by operating one of Lancaster County’s primary Underground Railroad stations.

5 BROWN, John (1800-1859). Autograph document signed (“John Brown of the firm of Perkins & Brown”), for Judge C. McIntosh. Springfield, MA, 5 June 1850. 1p., dated twice, folio, docketed verso, spotting and creasing, separations to folds affecting a few words. An affidavit regarding the grading of wool. Abolitionist John Brown attempted several business ventures before committing himself to the anti-slavery cause. With Simon Perkins, he established a commission house in Springfield, Massachusetts, which acted as agent for sheep farmers selling their wool to New England manufacturers. By 1850, the business had foundered. He attests: “I have had very frequent occasion during the years 1847 & 1848 & 1849 to go over the wool graded by Nelson Flint & to change the grading very considerably...because he allowed other motives & feelings than such as should have governed him to controll [sic] his judgements.” He further writes regarding a suit filed by Henry Warren against Hiram Harrington and William McKie regarding how Perkins & Brown would testify if called upon: “McKie did in my hearing & presence endeavour to get those men Mr. Middleton & Mr. Schleringen to tell a very different story from that which they had of their own accord stated to him in my presence previously, the impropriety of which course I noticed particularly at the time.” [With:] A leather wallet, and four banknotes, comprising: $5 Franklin County Bank; $5 Confederate bill; $50 Confederate bill; $50 Facsimile Confederate bill. All accompanied by a handwritten note, ca 1944, indicating the affidavit was found folded into the wallet with the accompanying banknotes. $2,500 - 3,500

6 [BROWN, John (1800-1859)]. Bullet taken from the box in which four of the John Brown raiders were buried. Bullet encircled by thin period string attaching it at center of a 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 in. paper board with handwritten inked period text above the bullet: “This bullet was taken / from the box in which / four of the John Brown / raiders were (burried / [sic] 1859).” Below the bullet text continues: “Taken out 1899 / Some fiber of the / clothing was attached / to the bullet. P. Buckingham.” Verso with handwritten text which appears to replicate portions of the text on opposite side. Housed in small wooden box without lid, 3 1/8 x 3 1/8 in., with period cotton batting on bottom. Following John Brown’s October 1859 raid on Harper’s Ferry, Virginia, ten of Brown’s twenty-two men were killed or died shortly thereafter, seven were tried and executed, and five escaped. Of those killed, eight men were reported to have been hastily buried outside of Harper’s Ferry in an inconspicuous and unmarked riverside location because the locals would not assent to having the “radicals” buried in their town. In 1899, a John Brown scholar named Dr. Thomas Featherstonhaugh determined to locate this mass grave, exhume the bodies, and reinter them in New York at John Brown’s farm alongside Brown’s body. After eliciting the assistance of several collaborators in his clandestine plans, Featherstonehaugh was ultimately was successful. Buried in a shallow grave were bone fragments, along with what witnesses described as remnants of woolen material thought to be the heavy blanket shawls that the men had worn on the raid. Forty years after Brown’s raid, the exhumed “raiders” were buried again, though this time with great pomp and ceremony. The World of New York, New York, noted in an article of 31 August 1899, that there “were about 2,600 persons present, besides a detachment of the Twenty-sixth infantry from Plattsburgh post barracks, and the Serenac Lake Cornet Band.” News of the “grave robbery” and reburial spread rapidly garnering nationwide attention. This relic no doubt reflects the period fascination with these somewhat unorthodox events. $450 - 550

12 [10th US CAVALRY]. A collection of approximately 400 printed General Orders and Circulars, most issued by the Headquarters of the Army, Washington, D.C., 1870s-1890s. All 12mo, printed on single sheets. Many orders signed. Total includes some duplicates. Approximately 350 orders were issued by the Headquarters of the Army in Washington D.C., with others issued by the Department of Dakota, the Department of Arizona, Headquarters 10th Regiment of US Cavalry, and the Department of the Missouri. Earliest document is a Circular issued by “Headquarters, Department of the Missouri, Office of the Judge Advocate, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, June 15, 1871.” Period handwritten notation on top reads “Hdqs Cheyenne Agency / Oct / 74.” Most orders from the 1880s are hole-punched at center left and then crudely bound together into a “volume” with a wire. The bulk of the collection is composed of loose orders from the 1890s. Notable orders include approximately 10 orders related to the 10th US Cavalry, an original “Buffalo Soldier” regiment, most detailing changes in command or posts, deaths of officers, and details for recruiting service or court martial. Provenance: Orders likely were collected by Major Joseph M. Kelley (1844-1911), whose name appears on a few orders below the signed authorization, typescript letter dated 14 October 1893 indicating Major Joseph M. Kelley was relieved from duty “to act as Indian Agent at the Fort Belknap Agency, Montana.” Major Joseph M. Kelley served as an officer in the 10th U.S. Cavalry regiment during the 1870s, 1880s, and at his retirement from active service in 1898 (retirement announced in Special Orders No.251 issued from Headquarters of the Army, Washington, D.C.). Kelley, alongside the African American soldiers of the 10th Cavalry, served in combat during the Indian Wars in the western United States. The 10th was stationed at numerous forts throughout Kansas and Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). In 1875, the 10th Cavalry moved its headquarters to Fort Concho in west Texas. The 10th Cavalry played an important role in the 1879-80 campaign against Chief Victorio and his band of Apaches. In 1885, the regiment was transferred to the Department of Arizona. Once again the 10th was involved in the arduous pursuit of Apaches under the leadership of Geronimo, Mangus, and the Apache Kid. After twenty years of service in some of the most undesirable posts in the southwest, the regiment was transferred to the Department of Dakota in 1891. The regiment served at various posts in Montana and the Dakotas until 1898. Property from the Collection of Dr. Brant Mittler $1,200 - 1,800 8

Revolutionary War newspaper containing front-page coverage of Colonel Francis Marion’s exploits in South Carolina against the British. Also includes a front-page report of the Battle of the Barges (Battle of the Kedges, 30 November 1782) between naval militia from Maryland and the Royal Navy. Over a year had passed since Cornwallis’ October 1791 surrender at Yorktown, however, intermittent conflict at sea continued. For two days in late November 1782, Commodore Zedechiah Whaley of the Maryland militia had been waging an indecisive battle during a campaign against British barges of war that had been harassing the shores and farms of Chesapeake Bay. On 28 November, he sailed up Onocock Creek and appealed to Lt. James Cropper, who responded by recruiting 25 local men who joined the crew of Whaley’s flagship, the Protector. During the battle, 3 of 4 of Whaley’s barges were forced back under heavy fire, leaving the Protector to attack 6 British craft. Vastly outnumbered, its crew suffered heavy losses during a climactic action on 30 November 30, with 25 casualties and 29 captured, with only 11 escaping. Whaley’s surrender ended the last naval action of the Revolution. $800 - 1,000

Disbound (areas of separation at centerfold, toning, staining throughout, chipping, short tears, and some loss to edges and corners). The issue contains prominent front page “stacked” headlines: “Almost Incredible Victory! / From New Orleans / ...the Enemy...beaten and repulsed by (Andrew) Jackson...with great slaughter.” Five columns of text are also included on the front page, providing a detailed report of the victory of the US forces at the Battle of New Orleans, the final battle of the War of 1812. $600 - 800


28 [WAR OF 1812]. Canadian Army Bill, 10 Dollar note issued January 1815. Approx. 7 x 5 3/8 in. partially printed note (occasional spotting, light fold lines). 10 Dollars, 10 Piastres, 50 Shillings, from the Quebec Army Bill Office, January 1815. Serial Number 26676. Signed by Commander of the Forces, George Waters Allsopp (1769-1837). Classified by PMG as Choice Extremely Fine 45 and labeled a “Contemporary Counterfeit” note because of the “EXCHAGNE” misspelling. Accompanied by note from PMG regarding the “Contemporary Counterfeit” label. Allsopp was a businessman, politician, office holder, and militia officer. In April 1812, Allsopp became lieutenant-colonel of the Cap-Santé battalion of militia, and also served as an extra cashier in the Army Bill Office at Quebec in 1814 and 1815. During the War of 1812, these army bills were legal tender issued by the Army Bill Office in Quebec and used for the purchase of supplies and the payment of troops. This is the last of four different dated issues listed in the Charlton book. Almost all of these notes were redeemed in 1815 because they would no longer earn interest after that year, making them very difficult to find. $3,000 - 5,000

31 NEBEL, Carl (1805-1855). Battle of Palo Alto. From The War Between the United States and Mexico Illustrated, [Paris: LeMercier, 1851]. Lithograph with hand-coloring heightened in gum arabic, 355 x 465 mm sheet. Slight toning, browning verso from old framing, mostly marginal inkstain lower margin. Provenance: Acquired Dorothy Sloan (26 September 2007, lot 178). FIRST EDITION of the first illustration from George Wilkins Kendall and Carlos Nebel’s work, “the very best American battle scenes in existence” (Bennett American NineteenthCentury Color Plate Books, p.65). “Of all the Mexican War lithographs, perhaps the dozen by Kendall and Nebel are the most popular, as well as the most accurate” (Tyler, The Mexican War, A Lithographic Record, p.18). The lithograph shows the battle from the perspective of a viewer behind the U. S. lines looking south toward the Mexican position, and the details of the uniforms are considered generally correct. Property from the Collection of Dr. Brant Mittler $800 - 1,200

32 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Full plate daguerreotype portrait of a Scottish junior officer, possibly from the 92nd Gordon Highlanders. Ca 1850. Full plate daguerreotype portrait of a British junior officer featuring fine gold highlighting. (Image focus soft in many areas, with some loss to image, light tarnishing, and scratching around edges and area of imperfection at/near subject’s legs; no mat or preserver; resealed.) Housed in a red leatherette case (surface wear throughout, separation/fraying to fabric lining spine interior, and some discoloration to upper left portion of velvet pad). The young male subject displays the uniform and equipment of a junior officer of a Scottish Highland regiment in the British Army, including ostrich feather bonnet with white plume, white horsehair sporran with two rows of three tassels, diced color pattern kilt, white cross belt with gilded breast plate, and Pattern 1828 Highland broad sword. Based on the pattern of his sporran, tartan, and white bonnet plume, the subject might be a 92nd Gordon Highlander, though this cannot be confirmed by his cross-belt breast plate as it is out of focus. $2,500 - 3,500

33 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY] -- [MILITARIA]. Half plate ambrotype of a double-armed British soldier with companion CDV. Ca 1857-1858. Half plate ambrotype (small fleabites to enamel); housed in full leather case (wear to velvet pad, scuffs, wear to extremities). [With:] Vignetted CDV, copy image of the ambrotype. [Dublin]: Gluckman, n.d. 2 1/4 x 3 3/8 in. albumen CDV on cardstock mount (toned). Period ink inscription to mount verso of photographer’s name and address: “Gluckman / 24 Upper / Sackville Street.” A provocative image of an anonymous British infantry officer in campaign kit, probably relating to the Indian Mutiny, ca 1857-58. Based solely on the companion CDV identifying the pioneering Dublin photographer, perhaps an officer from one of the British Army’s resolute Irish regiments. The quilted cover of the early style cork sun helmet is rarely encountered in British military photography of the period, yet the style had practically supplanted regulation headgear in India based on contemporary illustrations of the Mutiny. The lightcolored tunic made of cotton or linen, more comfortable in hot climates is decidedly non-regulation and purposely lacks rank insignia for anonymity in the field. The cuffs, however, are in a proprietary dark regimental facing color. The buttons cannot be read but would also be of proprietary regimental pattern. Significantly, this young officer displays Colt’s famous M1851 Navy revolver, likely made in Colt’s London factory. Private purchase Colt Navy revolvers were a preferred sidearm and saw significance service in both the earlier Crimea War and the Indian Mutiny during the 1850s. His sword is the regulation British P1822/45 for company-grade infantry officers in a typical black leather scabbard. As ambrotypes are all one-of-a-kind, the companion CDV copied from the original would allow quantity photographs to be distributed among family and friends as the officer sailed off to guard the empire. $900 - 1,200

34 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY] -- [MILITARIA]. Quarter plate daguerreotype of armed English officer.

35 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY] -- [MILITARIA]. MCELROY, photographer. Sixth plate daguerreotype of an elderly British Royal Navy ship’s clerk with his dog.

Quarter plate hand-tinted daguerreotype. (Great clarity, tarnishing to edges.) Housed in a full leatherette case with wear/loss.

Sixth plate daguerreotype under mat stamped at top, “McElroy.” (Soft in clarity, cluster of spots at lower left, otherwise very fine.) Housed in full, pressed paper case (some surface scuffing). A studio portrait of an aged man who appears to be a British Royal Navy ship’s clerk, the button arrangement around the cuff (without vertical buttons) of his jacket replicating that rank with no other insignia showing. He is posed with a small dog, possibly a beloved ships’ mascot.

Subject sits with his arm and plumed helmet on the table next to him while holding his 1821 cavalry officer’s saber with the other arm. His epaulettes, collar devices, buttons, sleeve braiding, 2-piece lion’s head buckle, and sword guard are highlighted gold.

36 [MILITARIA]. Half plate daguerreotype of US Marine Corps Officer, Lieutenant R.L. Browning. Ca 1852-1853. Half plate daguerreotype with hand coloring. (Strong clarity, hairline abrasion running through the right side of the face, few other surface abrasions/wipes, light tarnish to edges.) Housed in full case with mother-of-pearl inlay (significant damage to case, mother-of-pearl flower detached from case cover, interior and exterior wear to hinge, mat preserver damaged). Studio portrait of an antebellum Marine officer in full dress identified on satin pad as “Lieut. R.L. Browning. / Cincinnati, Ohio.” Details are pristine including, presumably, the parchment commission document he is holding in his white gloved hand. He poses with a ubiquitous Marine Mameluke dress saber cradled upside down so that the underside of the hilt with ivory grips is just visible. The rare rectangular Model 1842 “USM” belt plate on stippled field (Gavin FIGURE 185, p. 234) is noteworthy, along with the delicate red tinting on the sash. R.L. Browning was commissioned a 2nd lieutenant in the Marine Corps on 24 November 1852. This daguerreotype almost certainly dates to 1852-1853 corresponding to Browning’s commission as 2nd lieutenant. He was promoted to 1st lieutenant on 29 November 1858 and was lost in the Pacific with the ship USS Levant in 1860. The tragic history behind this young officer is both significant and compelling as the mysterious loss of the USS Levant was never satisfactorily explained. $3,000 - 4,000

37 [CIVIL WAR]. Half plate tintype showing Company D, 2nd Tennessee Cavalry Regiment. Half plate hand-colored tintype (some darkening at perimeter). Inscription on green paper housed with plate reads: “Co D / 2 Regt Tenn Cav.” (dampstain to paper). The image shows the Union regiment mustered outside with the expertly hand-colored American flag guidon. Their muskets, carbines, and Colt revolving rifles are clearly visible. Company D of the 2nd Tennessee Cavalry (Union) was primarily mustered from Blount County, near Knoxville. This image was published in The Tennesee State Library and Archives project “Look Back: The Civil War in Tennesee.” (ID#: maur038). $3,000 - 4,000

38 [CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate tintype of a double-armed soldier tentatively identified as James M. Andrus, Company G, 1st New York Infantry. Sixth plate tintype. (Exceptionally clear image.) Housed under mat, glass, and preserver; no case. With a modern, inked note suggesting that the subject might be “J. Andross, Keeseville, NY.” However, research suggests that the subject might be 18-year-old James M. Andrus (1842-1910), from Addison, NY, who enlisted in Company G, 1st New York Infantry on 12/31/1861 and was later discharged for disability 9/27/1862. The 1st New York was issued P53 Enfield Rifles in early 1862 and the young private carries that weapon in addition to a short sword. Andrus later mustered into Company G, 2nd New York Veteran Cavalry 10/10/1863, serving until 11/8/1865 when he mustered out at Talladega, AL. $1,000 - 1,500

39 [CIVIL WAR]. Full plate tintype of Civil War drummer James V. Roberts, 118th New York, posed with drum and weaponry. [With:] personal, war-date Bible.

40 [CIVIL WAR]. A group of 7 photographs, highlighted by ninth plate ruby ambrotype of Gorham P. Dunn, 12th New Hampshire Infantry, KIA Cold Harbor.

Full plate tintype of drummer James V. Roberts, 118th NY. (Slight loss of emulsion at edges, appears to have been framed, never cased). Roberts is posed with a U.S. Infantry drum at his side, a pistol in his belt, and his hand resting upon the handle of a sword.

Ninth plate ruby ambrotype. (Strong clarity, discoloration and some wear to edges.) Housed in full, pressed paper case (surface wear, reinforced at hinge). A seated portrait of a bearded sergeant with modern paper label identifying the subject as “Gorham P. Dunn, 12th NH Infy.”

[With:] The Holy Bible, Containing Old and New Testaments. London: G.E. Eyre and W. Spottiswoode, 1855. 32mo. (Title page detatched, gatherings loose, toned.) Contemporary pressed paper boards (lacking spine, hinges fragile, scuffs to extremities). Provenance: James V. Roberts (ownership inscription to inner front board); Mary E. Roberts (stencil to front free endpaper, according to the 1860 Census in Plattsburgh, NY, Mary E. was sister to James, 3 years his senior). Features a presentation bookplate printed in blue and red with an American flag with a riband reading “To the Defenders of their Country!” reading, “Presented by the Clinton Co. B.S.N.Y. September, 1862” followed by Bible verses.

At the age of 28, Gorham P. Dunn (1835-1864), a carpenter by trade, enlisted as a sergeant and mustered into Company H, 12th New Hampshire Infantry on 9/9/1862. He was promoted to second lieutenant 2/4/1863, then first lieutenant 2/1/1864. However, months later, Dunn was struck with a minie ball through the breast and killed in action at Cold Harbor, VA, on 6/3/1864.

James V. Roberts (1845-1863) enlisted on 21 July 1862 at Plattsburg, Clinton County, NY as a private at just 18 years old. He was mustered into Company H of the 118th New York Infantry, participating in the Siege of Suffolk, but died of disease on 7 October 1863 at Fort Monroe, VA.

41 [CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate ruby ambrotype of an armed soldier, possibly representing the 3rd or 4th New Hampshire Infantry. Sixth plate ruby ambrotype. (Strong clarity, few spots and light edge wear to plate.) Housed in full, pressed paper case (hinge partially separated, some surface residue, edge and corner wear). Velvet interior of case includes stamp from R.W. Addis’ Lancaster Gallery in Pennsylvania, but the case may not be original to the image as Addis was not operating a gallery in Lancaster during the Civil War. Studio portrait of a steely-eyed early war New Hampshire infantry private wearing a distinctive “deerstalker” hat known to have been worn by the 3rd and 4th New Hampshire Infantry, possibly others. The unique but short-lived headgear was described as “a cap of mixed brown stuff with stiff visor in front and back” (Todd, Vol. II, p. 986). The nine-button state-issue frock has cloth shoulder straps trimmed in pale blue infantry branch of service color. The musket he holds appears to be a Model 1842. $300 - 400

Housed in a fully separated pressed paper case (general wear throughout, including a noticeable puncture and discoloration to velvet pad).

A classic pose of an early war Western cavalryman holding a brace of Model 1860 Colt Army revolvers (the pistol on right is unclear), standing before the distinctive Benton Barracks painted canvas backdrop of iconic St. Louis photographer Enoch Long. $1,500 - 2,500

Subject seated to right wears corporal’s chevrons on his non-regulation coat and a holstered revolver on his belt. He also holds a cavalry saber in his lap.

Saber guard, buttons, and belt plate all highlighted gold; cavalryman’s pant stripes and sleeve chevrons hand-tinted yellow. $300 - 500

44 [CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate ruby ambrotype of a double-armed Union bass drummer posed with his instrument. Sixth plate ruby ambrotype portrait of a Union drummer. (Darkening and deterioration to image around edges, with spotting to preserver; unsealed.) Housed in a nearly fully separated pressed paper case (significant wear throughout, including almost full separation at spine, with repair). The bearded federal musician is armed with a belted pocket revolver and Sheffield Bowie knife, possibly photographer’s props. He stands next to a large unpainted drum and holds a beater in one hand. The “US” on his belt plate and his shoulder straps both feature gold highlighting. The unpainted drum suggests a militia antecedent, together with the drummer’s antiquated shoulder straps sometimes associated with musicians. This image is said to be featured in Norm Flayderman’s The Bowie Knife: Unsheathing an American Legend. $600 - 800

45 [CIVIL WAR]. Two sixth plate tintypes of double-armed soldiers posed before the same American flag. Two sixth plate tintypes.

A fine near cameo pair of resolute soldiers in typical nine-button frock coats, armed with conversion muskets and belted Sheffield knives. These men are flanked by a delicately tinted American flag reflecting both early war patriotism and an unknown photographer’s signature studio prop. Under closer scrutiny the corporal on the left shows the rarely seen crossed ax shoulder insignia of an attached pioneer company, more likely in this case to have been serving in the Eastern Theater with the Army of the Potomac as opposed to Rosecrans’ later Pioneer Brigade in the west. The private on the right has added a private purchase revolver butt forward in pristine leather holster, a detail that suggests fairly early war. $800 - 1,200

46 [CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate tintype of two US Infantry privates holding uncommon pistols, including possible Volcanic pistol. Sixth plate tintype. (Image a touch dark, soft detail, some residue, surface wear to plate.) Housed in full, pressed paper case (surface wear). Studio portrait of a pair of infantry privates both with uncommon pistols. The fellow at left appears to hold a Volcanic pistol while the subject at right seems to be holding an Allen & Wheelock revolver. They are wearing shell jackets with cloth epaulettes suggesting that they could be from Illinois or New York. $400 - 600

The United States Sanitary Commission, created in June of 1861, was purposed to support US Army soldiers during the Civil War, especially with their growing sanitary needs including medicine and other hospital supplies. From 1863-1865, the primary means of fundraising for the USSC was hosting “sanitary fairs” in northern cities, by which local communities could get involved and contribute to the war effort. These fairs were typically held by women from the upper classes of society, and included a variety of attractions such as booths, expositions, balls, parades, auctions, raffles, and more. All together, these fairs raised a total of 4.5 million dollars for the USSC.

CDV on cardstock mount (toning throughout, with wear to edges and corners). Mount recto bears penciled identification, “Russell.” Verso bears ink inscription, “CBF / Cabot Jackson Russel (sic) Joined 44th as private went into the 54 (Black) regiment as Captain & was wounded and carried prisoner to Charles-ton [indecipherable] the first attack on Fort Wagner,” and pencil inscription, “died that same night we suppose as nothing satisfactory was ever found of him.” Russell is featured here wearing first lieutenant shoulders straps and sitting slightly turned toward a table upon which he rests one arm. He is holding what appears to be a small piece of paper in his hands. Cabot J. Russell enlisted in the summer of 1862, receiving his sergeant’s stripes and mustering into Company F of the 44th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment by that autumn. When Massachusetts Governor John A. Andrew organized the 54th Infantry Regiment, he requested that white soldiers serving in the 44th regiment be on hand to serve as officers of the new African American regiment. Russell answered that call, and was commissioned a first lieutenant of Company D of the 54th in March of 1863. He was soon promoted to the rank of captain, as of Company H, in May. Russell and his new command resisted Confederate troops at Grimball’s Landing, saving the 10th Connecticut Infantry from destruction and suffering 31 casualties and 12 men captured. Russell’s captaincy was a trial by fire, as his unit almost immediately thereafter engaged at Fort Wagner. On 18 July 1863, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw led the 54th against the garrison, advancing toward the rampart upon which he and Russell both sustained mortal gunshot wounds. It is believed that both of their bodies were buried with the enlisted casualties in a mass grave at Fort Wagner, as Russell’s remains were never recovered. Various sources report that Russell and his father shared anti-slavery beliefs, which may have influenced Russell’s initiative to join the 54th Massachusetts. $600 - 800

56 [CIVIL WAR]. BROWNELL, Francis (1840-1894). Autographed CDV of First Lieutenant Francis Brownell with manuscript poem. Standing view of Francis Brownell as first lieutenant, autographed on verso (“Frank E. Brownell/ USA”). New York, NY: J. Gurney & Son. 2 1/8 x 3 1/2 in. CDV on cardstock mount (soiling mostly to top half of image/mount, signature strong). First Lieutenant Francis Brownell is shown in uniform, proudly displaying the medals on his jacket, while holding a Staff Officer’s sword in his left hand. [With:] 5 x 8 in. anonymous manuscript poem addressed to the Army, honoring Elmer Ellsworth, the first conspicuous casualty of the Civil War (expected folds to poem, some spotting, toning to left half of document). The poem states in part: “Our response all hearts shall thrill:/ Ellsworth’s fame is with us still,/ Ne’er to pass away!/ Bring that rebel banner low,/ Hoisted by a treacherous foe/ I was for that they dealt the blow,/ Laid him in the dust.” Francis E. Brownell of the 11th New York Volunteers, the “Fire Zouaves,” is best known for slaying Colonel Elmer Ellsworth’s murderer, innkeeper and Southern sympathizer James W. Jackson, on the stairs of the Marshall House in Alexandria, VA, near the start of the Civil War. He received the Medal of Honor for his actions in 1877. $800 - 1,200

Housh (also spelled Hough) were commissioned into Field & Staff of the 67th Illinois Infantry Regiment on 13 June 1862. Colonel Hough is likely the subject seated at center, and Major Haskell is likely seated to the far right. An urgent call to state governors to send available volunteer and militia forces to Washington in response to threats of a great enemy advance prompted the organization of the 67th, 68th, 69th, 70th, and 71st Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiments, whose men mustered into the United States Army for three months’ service. The 67th was organized at Camp Douglas in Chicago where it remained on guard duty for the duration of its service term. $600 - 800 F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M AG E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S .

COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS OF WOUNDED CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS PHOTOGRAPHED AND ASSEMBLED BY REED BROCKWAY BONTECOU, M.D LOTS 59-62 Dr. Reed Bontecou was a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1842 and studied medicine with Drs. John Wright and Thomas C. Brinsmade of Troy, NY. He attended classes at the University of the City of New York from 1844 to 45, and later graduated with his medical degree at Castleton Vermont Medical College in 1846. In 1857, he performed the first successful American case of ligating the right subclavian artery for diffuse traumatic aneurysm of the axillary artery, and one of the first three on record. At 37-years-old, enlisted at Troy, NY on 24 April 1861 as a surgeon with a rank of major. He was commissioned on 14 May 1861 into Field & Staff of the 2nd New York Infantry and saw action at Big Bethel, the first battle of the war. He was discharged at Fort Monroe, VA on 14 September 1861 to be appointed medical director of the United States Army General Hospital “Harewood” in Washington, D.C., one of the largest hospitals of the war with 3,000 beds. In this role, he made clinical photographs, including this example here. Intended for teaching fellow army surgeons, wound evaluation, and healing techniques, the images still retain an unusual degree of artistry and are considered desirable of all wounded Civil War soldier images. They should not be confused with the images, mainly taken by Bell and Ward, and issued by the Surgeon General’s Office in the 1870s for pension purposes. Dr. Bontecou’s images were not reproduced by the SGO. He was also brevetted lieutenant colonel on 13 March 1865. After the war, he continued his medical practice in Troy, NY. A member of several medical societies, he was a charter member and fellow of the American Surgical Association. RARE: No photographs have ever been sold from this album prior to this auction. 17 images were given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1992 from the current consignor (Gift of Stanley B. Burns, M.D. and The Burns Archive, Accession numbers: 1992.5127-5143). About four government and university libraries have some similar images. Original photographs made during the war and kept by Dr. Bontecou, not reproduced by the SGO. Dr. Bontecou’s photographs are not only viewed as historical records but also as examples of fine art photography, transcending the typical images used to document medical conditions. In the Fall of 2022, a selection of Dr. Bontecou’s photographs will be on display at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Spain’s national museum of 20th-century art in Madrid.

Burns, MD, Historic Medical Photography Collection $5,000 - 7,000

63 [CIVIL WAR]. HAAS, Philip, Lt., photographer. A group of 7 photographs of Fort Pulaski after the bombardment, inscribed and signed by Major General David Hunter. Each 8 7/8 x 6 15/16 in., or slightly smaller, albumen photograph on cardstock mount (overall light toning, some spotting and soiling throughout, with wear/creasing to mount edges and corners). Most signed in the negative by Lt. Philip Haas. Each inscribed and signed by Major General David Hunter on verso: “Seven views of Pulaski, after the bombardment, with the compliments of D. Hunter, Major Gen.” Images include a view of the fort from a distance, primarily showing the heavy damage to the southeast corner, including multiple penetrations; a close-up view of two major breaches to the fort, featuring one non-uniformed subject pointing toward one of the openings in the wall, and a uniformed subject, standing beneath the other; another close-up view of the breaches from a different angle; an close-up view of Confederate artillery atop the fort, including an 8-inch smoothbore gun with its carriage tilted up at an extreme angle to allow the gun to act as a heavy mortar; a view from a distance showing a large group of men, many in uniform, standing and sitting amidst rubble outside of the sally port; and others. When Georgia seceded from the Union in February of 1861, Confederate forces under Colonel Charles Olmstead took control of Fort Pulaski, located at the mouth of the Savannah River on Cockspur Island. Control of the stronghold was crucial to both Confederate and Union forces. Union occupation of the fort would mean extending their blockade and commanding the entrance to an important port city for the South. On 19 February 1862, General Thomas W. Sherman commanded Quincy Gillmore (Eng. Corps) to prepare for a siege of the fort. Gillmore’s men constructed a series of artillery batteries on Tybee Island, across from Fort Pulaski, and commenced the bombardment on 10 April. The work of heavy artillery, especially the 84-pounder and 64-pounder James rifles, penetrated the thick brick wall of the fort in multiple places, and by the following day, Colonel Olmstead surrendered. Not only was the victory an important one for the overall federal war strategy, but it also illuminated the strength of heavy artillery against what were previously thought to be impregnably constructed strongholds. General Hunter’s commentary on the bombardment in his report to the Secretary of War presciently concluded that “[The bombardment of Fort Pulaski] must cause a change in the construction of fortifications as radical as that foreshadowed in naval architecture by the conflict between the Monitor and Merrimac. No works of stone or brick can resist the impact of rifled artillery of heavy calibre.” $3,000 - 5,000 30

Raccoon Mountain and Nickajack Cave in Marion County, Tennessee, were both locations utilized by troops during the Civil War. Both Confederate and Union forces mined Nickajack Cave for saltpeter as they took turns occupying the area (Union forces overtook the cave after the battles at Chattanooga). Raccoon Mountain was also a noteworthy landmark during the war, having been identified by Ulysses S. Grant in the fall of 1863 as a possible route in the campaign to resupply federal troops in Chattanooga after the Battle of Chickamauga. Hooker’s men marched along the mountain into Lookout Valley where he met and drove back a Confederate brigade. $600 - 800

(toning, occasional spotting). A standing portrait of a 140th New York Volunteer posed before a painted backdrop depicting a Civil War camp scene. The 140th New York was organized in Rochester and mustered in for three years service in September 1862. From January 1864 they wore the Zouave uniform, as illustrated by the subject shown in the portrait offered here. The regiment participated in several significant battles throughout the war, including Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, where the unit saw heavy action at Little Round Top, Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Siege of Petersburg, and the Appomattox Campaign. $300 - 500

70 [CIVIL WAR]. Quarter plate daguerreotype of Confederate Major General Carter Littlepage Stevenson as a Lieutenant in the 5th US Infantry. Ca 1846. Quarter plate daguerreotype. (Minor edge tarnish, few surface abrasions.) Housed in full, leatherette case with floral design (some surface wear). Small museum catalog number written in white at top edge of case. Stevenson was promoted to captain in June 1847, dating the image to ca 1846. RARE: One of two daguerreotypes of Stevenson known to exist. This portrait is illustrated in several biographies of Stevenson. Born at Fredericksburg, Virginia, Carter Littlepage Stevenson (1817-1888) graduated 42nd of 45 from West Point in 1838. He served with distinction in the Mexican War, being cited for bravery at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. He also participated in the Seminole War of 1856-1857 and the Utah Expedition. At the start of the Civil War, Stevenson was commissioned colonel of the 53rd Virginia Infantry in July 1861, and was promoted to brigadier general on 27 February 1862. He was then ordered to the Western theater, where he was part of Major General E. Kirby Smith’s invasion of Kentucky. Following a promotion to major general in October 1862, Stevenson served bravely at Chickasaw Bluffs, Champion’s Hill, and Vicksburg where he was briefly taken prisoner. Stevenson went on to lead his Confederate troops at Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Kennesaw, Resaca, Nashville, and Bentonville, surrendering with General Joseph E. Johnston in April 1865. After the war, Stevenson turned to engineering and spent his final years in Caroline County, Virginia. In 1914, a marble bust was erected at the Vicksburg Military Park commemorating Major General Stevenson’s service. $5,000 - 7,000

71 [CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate ambrotype of John Singleton Mosby. [Virginia], ca 1865. Sixth plate ambrotype half portrait featuring John Singleton Mosby seated in a chair. (Some loss of contrast and discoloration to certain areas of image, with few minor abrasions; unsealed.) Housed in a figural Union case, Child in a Tree, Farm Scene [Berg 1-93] (soiling and wear to surface, with some nicking and chipping to edges and corners and some loss to velvet pad). Initials “B.S.” scratched into upper right corner of image, possibly referring to the photographer. Provenance: The Family of Joseph Hancock Blackwell, by descent (HA listing). Mosby’s visage and overall appearance betray the toll of the nearly fatal gunshot wound he received to the stomach on 21 December 1864. Mosby recovered at his family’s home near Lynchburg, Virginia after having the bullet extracted, arriving on 3 January 1865. According to his mother’s diary, he left to rejoin his men on 25 February. It is during this recovery period that this portrait is believed to have been captured. William A. Turner’s Even More Confederate Faces lists known photographers of Confederates in each state. For Virginia, there are 35 entries, including a “Bransen & Sherer” working in Winchester. One of Mosby’s inner circle, Joseph Hancock Blackwell, rose in favor to become Mosby’s unofficial chief of staff. His estate, called “Heartland,” located near Piedmont, VA, served as the unofficial headquarters of Mosby’s rangers for a period during the war. $5,000 - 7,000

72 [CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate ambrotype of CSA soldier John Adams, Jr., possibly from Company, B, 16th South Carolina Volunteers, holding a Confederate-made Spiller & Burr revolver, with civilian portrait. Sixth plate ambrotype, glass appears to be tinted blue, which is rarely encountered. (Strong clarity, somewhat soft focus, minor spotting, tarnish to edges.) Housed in half, pressed paper case (surface wear). Provenance: Descended directly in the family of John Adams, Jr. (as related by consignor). The subject is shown in uniform, with three inverted chevrons visible on the sleeves of his coat. That style of ornamentation is documented as having been worn early in the war (1861) by the Gist Rifles (Company D) of the infantry battalion of Hampton’s Legion, however none of the 14 Adams’ in the Civil War Database served in that unit. Of significance is the revolver that the subject displays, which appears to be an uncommon Confederate-made brass framed Spiller & Burr six shot .36 caliber. It is estimated that fewer than 1500 examples of Spiller & Burr were made, documented as 762 in Richmond and Atlanta through 1862, with another 689 manufactured beginning January 1864 when production resumed after the company was purchased by the CS Government. [With:] Quarter plate, post-war ambrotype believed to show John Adams, Jr., (at right) seated with a young man. (Some surface wear near edges, spotting to mat.) Housed in half, pressed paper case (damage to top edge, surface wear). John Adams Jr. (1843-1924) was born in Greenville, South Carolina, to John Adams and Mary Anne Simpson Adams. The Confederate Home Records of South Carolina identify a soldier by the name of John Adams from Greenville, SC, who enlisted in 1861 with Company B, 16th South Carolina Volunteers, serving until April 1865 at the surrender of Joseph R. Johnston. These details correspond with what is known about the subject of the photograph, suggesting that he may have fought with the 16th South Carolina Volunteers during the war. $4,500 - 6,500

Each 2 pages, 8vo, on Morris blindstamped paper, with original stamped and addressed envelopes, minor toning, mostly to envelopes. The former Confederate general writes to Captain Reverend James P. Smith regarding a memorial to General Jackson and whom the Reverend might be able to contact in Louisiana: “There are a good many of the Louisiana soldiers who served under Gen’l. Jackson who cherish a high regard for his memory, and among them is the Rev’d. Father Hubert of New Orleans, a Catholic Priest who was a chaplain in one of the Louisiana regiments.” After his visit to New Orleans, Early writes again with a list of contacts: “if you will write to General Francis T. Nichols, Colonel H.B. Kelly, and Captain W.R. Lyman, of New Orleans, they will take an interest in providing the object of your appreciation in regard to the Memorial of General Jackson.” Collection of Tom Charles Huston $400 - 600

76 [CIVIL WAR]. Confederate New Testament identified to W.J. Hill, Cobb’s Georgia Legion, recovered at Petersburg, VA, 20 April 1863. The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Nashville, TN: Tennessee Bible Society, 1861. 32mo. (Toned, spotting especially to endpapers.) Original brown cloth-backed boards (losses to spine, dampstains, wear to extremities). Provenance: W.J. Hill (ownership inscription). Pencil inscription to front flyleaf: “W.J. Hill / Camp Hunter Suffolk Va / Cobbs Ga. Legion / March 13th. 1862.” An additional ink inscription to the front board reads: “Found in the Rebel / Quartermasters Dep’t. / Petersburg Va., April 20th/65.” William J. Hill enlisted as a private and served in Company E (Poythress Volunteers, recruited from Burke County, GA ) in the Infantry battalion of Cobb’s Legion. Originally, the legion was composed of infantry, artillery, and cavalry components with an integrated command. The organization was abandoned in the autumn of 1862 as impracticable in the Civil War field. The inscription made by Hill was made shortly before their first major engagements at Yorktown and Lee’s Mill. They would go on to see many of the major battles of the Eastern Theater including Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Chattanooga, Siege of Knoxville, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, North Anna, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg where this small Bible was captured by an unidentified Union soldier. The infantry battalion would remain in service to the close of the war, present at Appomattox. An early Confederate printing of the New Testament was published and distributed by the Tennessee Bible Society, an organization founded shortly after the war for the purpose of supplying soldiers with Bibles. A copy at the Museum of the Bible (BIB.003333) includes the inscriptions of two Confederate chaplains and is bound in full cloth. The spine cloth of the copy offered here features the same embossed design, a possible indication that the full cloth copies were reserved for chaplains and paper board copies were distributed to enlisted men. $500 - 700 F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M AG E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S .

84 [CIVIL WAR]. “Battery and Entrenchment” notebook identified to George Davis, possibly of the 34th Pennsylvania Infantry. Approx. 6 5/8 x 4 in. notebook, leather over boards with working metal clasp, post-war typed title “CIVIL WAR / Battery and Entrenchment / book” on 3 1/4 x 1 in. paper adhered to front cover, 23pp. utilized (spine with heavy wear, appears several pages removed from notebook, light soil, typed title paper on front cover loose). Interior front cover with two identifications, “G. Davies” and “George Davies.” Detailed sketches in notebook include: “Plan of a Battery for 3 Guns and 2 Motors,” “Telegraph,” and “Section of the Blinded Gallery / Descent of the Blinded Gallery into the Main Ditch.” HDS identifies a total of five soldiers with the first and last name “George” and “Davies.” Though this notebook does not bear any specific regimental identifications, it may have belonged to George Davies (1836-1894), 34th PA Infantry, part of the “Pennsylvania Emergency Volunteers.” According to A History of Catasauqua in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania (1914), prior to the war Davies had worked at the trade of moulder and as a machinist, and by the the outbreak of hostilities was employed as Master Mechanic at Parryville, Pennsylvania. As Confederate troops moved into Maryland and Pennsylvania and converged on Gettysburg, calls were made for able-bodied men not already enlisted to form additional home guard regiments for 3 months service. Heading this call Davies joined the 34th Pennsylvania Infantry militia, enlisting on 30 June 1863 as a sergeant and mustering into Co. F under the command of his brother-in-law and future business partner, Captain James Thomas. The 34th emergency regiment marched to Gettysburg though the record does not indicate that the regiment was actively engaged. He mustered out on 24 August 1863. In addition to the sketches, the notebook contains explanatory notes of a military nature: how to construct a rectangular field powder magazine; how to use a telegraph and what each position of its arms signifies, both for numbers and letters; how to create a blinded gallery, with details of the men, tools, and materials required; discussion of pontooning; and tinctures and remedies for horses. As a Master Mechanic with experience at various iron works, Davies possessed extensive knowledge of the iron-making business and broad technical expertise. Given the fact that he was called into service on short notice and with little training, it is quite plausible that a man of his experience kept this technical notebook while serving with his regiment in an effort to prepare for the ways in which his skills might be utilized. $500 - 700

US Flag Steamer Benton, “Off Island No. 10,” 29 March 1862. 2 pages, 4to, toning, light creasing at folds. As commander of the Mississippi River Squadron, Foote led the gunboat flotilla during pivotal battles of the Western theater. At the time of this letter, he was engaged in a campaign against Island No. 10 and had recently suffered the loss of his 13-year-old son. He begins the letter: “Asst. Sec. of War Scott arrived today and handed me a bundle of papers & letters. My eye fell on yours & I said you must excuse me Mr. Secretary while I read my poor wife’s letter, as she is so heart stricken by an affliction, the loss of our dear noble promising boy. Certainly, he replied...” The letter continues with information about the battle plan and battle reports: “We must do something here. I do not look for the exposure to the Gun Boats we had at Henry & Donelson. If I can manage to get one gun boat even to Genl. Pope...I expect it will enable him to cross over from New Madrid and attack the rebels in the rear while we at long range attack them in front with our Gun and Mortar boats successfully. There will soon be a big fight at Corinth, probably between armies of 100,000 which must decide the fate of the Miss. river...We hear the heavy guns at New Madrid at intervals day and night. The rebel gun boats are trying to get up, but Pope drives them back and will continue to do so. Hollins is in command.” In March 1862, Gen. Pope drove the Confederates out of New Madrid, and the focus of combat shifted to Island No. 10, which Union gun and mortar boats bombarded relentlessly for three weeks. Foote lost his son, William Leffingwell Foote on 14 March 1862, along with two daughters later in the same year. The Richard B. Cohen Civil War Collection $500 - 700

Ogden, Cleveland, 30 May 1862. 1 page, 8vo, adhesive residue to verso edge. “I am in bed ‘hors de Combat’ which I am sure will excuse not only chirography but also a more full compliance with your request of the 28th instant.” Foote cooperated with Grant on the attack of Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River, fought 11–16 February 1862.

89 [CIVIL WAR - NAVY]. A group of 2 letters relating to the Kearsarge and Alabama, comprising: Autograph letter signed (“A”) to Mr. [John McIntosh Kell]. Wheeling, WV, 13 February 1866. The integral address leaf partially identifies the recipient as John M. K. 4 pages, 4to, toning and small losses on old folds. The addressee is John McIntosh Kell, Executive officer to the ship’s commander, Raphael Semmes. The writer uses initials for himself and his correspondent, as well as for destinations, because, as an officer on board the Alabama, he is subject to arrest for treason, as the Alabama was a commercial raider. The letter was written during the period between 15 December 1865, when Semmes was arrested for treason, and 7 April 1866, when he was released and the charges dropped. “A” plans to leave the country to evade arrest. He notes press reports to the effect that “the U. S. Government will guarantee safe conducts to all the offrs. of our ship who will come forward and testify against S[emmes]. I write you this to put you on your guard, and I am thus placed in an unpleasant fix. I had intended embarking at B. or D., but as I am certain almost that I will be arrested, I will have to make other ships...” He says he would testify for Semmes if he thought it would do any good, but I cannot testify against the Capt. and by such admit that I was a pirate.” In any event, he doesn’t think that Semmes will be punished: “I am however informed of a communication between an old messmate of mine, and the son of the redoubtable Capt. who commanded the Kearsarge, who was his father’s secretary, and which is as follows... In the course of conversation, the doctor asked said individual ‘what he thought would be done with Admiral Semmes.’ He said ‘Nothing’—’Semmes was guilty of no violation of the rules of war, so my father is coming here (to testify), on a fool’s errand.’” The charges against Semmes were dropped and he was released. “A” goes on to name fellow officers who have secured lucrative positions with the Chilean Navy—Catesby Jones and W. L. Glassett—and offers to intercede on Kell’s behalf if he’s interested. An intriguing letter written in the aftermath of the famous battle fought off Cherbourg, France, on 19 June 1864. [With:] STRINGHAM, L. H. Autograph letter signed (“L.H. Stringham”), to William Faxon, Chief Clerk Navy Department. U.S. Navy Yard, Boston, 17 March 1865. 1 page, 8vo, on U.S. Navy Yard letterhead. The commandant writes to Faxon informing him that two canes are on the way. “One of them is made from the stern post of the Kearsarge, the piece being taken from near the place where the Alabama’s shot struck it. The other is made from one of the ribs of the boat of the Alabama. The boat was broken up by a shot from the Kearsarge, and I had the ribs of a part of it straightened and turned.” The war didn’t end until Lee surrendered on 9 May 1865, by which time the souvenir mentality had already established itself.

During the spring and summer of 1862, these US blockading ships and Confederate blockade runners engaged from Port Royal, SC, to the Georgia coast. “Herewith I send a drawing of the distinguishing pennants on this blockade, with directions.” He follows with signals to be used by US ships with specific reference to the CSS Nashville and Fingal. The letter ends: “in the event of a general engagement a Red light shown aloft will distinguish friendly vessels, and if enemy should copy, then all lights to be obscured & fire at discretion.” A rare survival.

Dahlgren), as Chief of Ordnance Bureau, to Rear Admiral Samuel Philips Lee. Fortress Monroe, 14 February 1863. 2 pages, 8vo, on Bureau of Ordnance letterhead, red pencil reads “Immediate.” Dahlgren instructs Lee, on behalf of the Navy Department, to send, “with utmost dispatch a message to Beaufort with orders to intercept the Ordnance Store vessel Paramount, before entering the port if possible, direct her to proceed at once to Port Royal and report to Rear Admiral Dupont. This order is important.” -- GUEST, John. Autograph letter signed (“John Guest”). U.S.S. Sangamon, Fortress Monroe, 15 February 1863 1 page, 4to. “I shall relieve the Nahant at daylight tomorrow.

92 [CIVIL WAR]. Wanted!...Our Homes are in Danger! Recruitment broadside, 11th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry, [1862]. 12 1/2 x 17 5/8 in. (sight), framed to 14 1/2 x 19 1/2 in. (creasing, small losses particularly along edge lines and near center horizontal fold, light soil, unexamined outside frame). Undersigned in type by Captain Lyman Scott Jr., 1st Lieut. H.E. Palmer, and 2nd Lieut. J.N. Turner. Top center features bold type “WANTED!” below which appears an illustration of a spread-winged eagle with a riband in its beak bearing the text “$100 / Bounty.” Below the eagle in small print, part of which is obscured by a loss along the fold, is the regimental identification: “O[ne H]undred Men for Co. [left blank] 11th Regiment Kansas Volunteers.” Large bold type then highlights the bounty again followed by an exhortation: “Our Homes are in Danger! / Come one come all and rally around / The Banner of Freedom! / And help save your Country in this hour of peril, and thus do your duty to / God and Our Native Land! / and thus enable you to face the Spirit of our Forefathers.” No printer identification is visible on the broadside. Framed with a carefully folded document which is laid on top of the eagle’s body. Period ink notation on the folded, lined paper reads “Countersign for Officer of the day.” RARE. No other copies of this broadside identified in OCLC. The 11th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry was raised in response to President Lincoln’s July 1862 call for 300,000 volunteers. Residents of Kansas, many of whom already believed that their state had born a proportionately unjust and onerous burden for supplying troops to the war effort, were doubtful that their state could supply the quota with volunteer enlistments. However, the settlers of Kansas, who had just entered the Union in January 1861, proved their commitment to the Union once again raising their full quota in an unprecedentedly short span of time. The 11th Kansas enlisted its first recruit on the 18th of August, and on the 29th of that month Co. A was mustered in with a hundred men including their company captain. HDS indicates that Captain Lyman Scott of Leavenworth, Kansas, enlisted as a captain (date unknown) and was commissioned into Co. A, 11th Kansas Cavalry on 8/27/1862. He resigned on 2/20/1863. During the course of its service, the 11th was actively engaged in the Trans-Mississippi Theater, responding to Price’s Missouri Expedition (“Price’s Raid”) including fighting in the Battle of Westport (“Gettysburg of the West”), and participating in US Army actions against the Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne Indians in the summer of 1865. $3,000 - 4,000

93 [CIVIL WAR]. Death for Traitors! War Meeting! Broadside. [Yates County, NY]: ca 1861-2. 17 1/2 x 11 3/8 in. (sight), letterpress broadside, framed to 19 3/16 x 12 7/8 in. (some discoloration, especially to upper left, with creasing throughout; unexamined out of the frame). “Citizens of Starkey, Barrington, and neighboring towns are invited to rally en masse” on Friday, 25 July for a war meeting, “To take into consideration the present perilous condition of the Nation, and the best way of responding to the call of the President for more troops.” $800 - 1,200

94 [CIVIL WAR]. Attention!! Aid for the Government! Pottsville, PA: Benjamin Bannan’s Job Printing Establishment, 15 April 1861. 14 x 20 1/4 in. (sight) recruitment broadside for the 6th Pennsylvania Infantry, framed to 17 1/8 x 22 1/8 in. (creasing at folds, light soil, minor losses at edges and folds, unexamined outside frame). Undersigned in type by C. Tower. Top center features large, bold type “ATTENTION!!” below which appears an illustration of a spread-winged eagle with a riband in its beak bearing the text “The Union / Forever!!” Below the eagle text reads: “AID FOR THE GOVERNMENT! / The undersigned proposes to unite with his fellow citizens in sustaining the / Government of the country and putting down rebellion. He therefore invites / those who are willing to join him in forming a Company of / SIXTY TO A HUNDRED MEN!” Printed just four days after the first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter, this broadside is indicative of the immediate and patriotic response generated to the commencement of hostilities between the Northern and Southern states. The 6th Pennsylvania Infantry regiment was recruited for three months service under Colonel James Nagle. The regiment served along the Pittsburg, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad, then moved to Chambersburg, Greencastle, Williamsport, Downsville, Martinsburg, and Charleston before mustering out. The regiment’s most notable engagement was at Falling Waters in July 1861. Undertaking recruitment for the regiment at this very early stage of the war was “C. Tower.” HDS indicates that Charlemagne Tower (1809-1889) was a 52-year old lawyer when he enlisted on 4/22/1861 at Pottsville, PA as a captain and was commissioned into Co. H, PA 6th Infantry. Within ten days of the start of the war, he had recruited approximately 270 Schuykill County men to enter the Union army in a regiment that would also be known as the “Tower Guards.” Tower, also a prominent landowner and successful businessman, provided uniforms and arms for the troops at his own expense. He mustered out on 7/27/1861 at Harrisburg. The printer of this broadside, Benjamin Bannan (1807-1875), was a well-known journalist of his day, who at times stirred controversy with an anti-Irish immigrant stance. $1,000 - 1,500 F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M AG E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S .

$500 - 700 97 [CIVIL WAR]. PARKE, John G. (1827-1900) and FERRARO, Edward (1831-1899). Hand-drawn testimonial presented to Major William F. Draper, 36th Massachusetts Infantry, signed by Generals Parke and Ferrero. East Tennessee, 8 March 1864. 11 x 16 in. (sight) hand-drawn testimonial, housed in 23 x 27 1/2 in. frame (scratches and wear to frame, light soil to mat and testimonial, testimonial with dampstaining at center right, unexamined outside frame). Testimonial decorated at top with patriotic motifs over which runs the bold text “Headquarters, 1st Division, 9th A.C.” followed by what appears to be an artist’s hand-drawn reproduction of a letter of recommendation on behalf of Draper. The body of the “letter” commences “Camp Near Mossy Creek / East Tenn., March 8th 1864” / “To His Excellency John A. Andrew, Gov. of the State of Mass.” It continues with a recommendation from Brigadier General Edward Ferrero, endorsing Draper for promotion describing the “able manner with which he has led his Regiment, and the discipline of the same, [which] entitles him to great praise.” This endorsement is signed by Ferrero (“Edwd Ferrero”) as Brigadier General US Volunteers. Below this appears a second endorsement, dated 9 March 1864, in which General John Grubb Parke (1827-1900) concurs “with Gen Ferrero in his estimate of Maj. Draper’s efficiency and worth....” This is signed by General Parke (“John G. Parke”) as Maj. Gen. Commanding. Complementing the handwritten text is a drawing of a Union camp artfully rendered on the mat in the bottom right corner. The camp scene features a cluster of tents, an American flag, and soldiers around a fire. Bvt. Major General Edward Ferrero (1831-1899) was both a decorated officer who served in multiple theaters of war, and an officer tainted by his questionable conduct during the Crater disaster. Gen. John Parke was a US Army engineer who served among other roles as Chief of Staff to Ambrose E. Burnside and also held significant field commands. After the war Parke served as superintendent of the United States Military Academy. The subject of their recommendation was William Franklin Draper (1842-1910) of Milford, MA, who enlisted on 9/9/1861 as a private and mustered into Co. B MA 25th Infantry. Draper served a three-year enlistment, rising steadily through the ranks of the 25th and later the MA 36th Infantry to become Brigadier General by Brevet on 3/13/1865 for “gallant and meritorious service.” Draper was wounded at Wilderness on 5/6/1864 and mustered out five months later on 10/12/1864. A Harvard graduate with mechanical expertise, Draper was equally impressive on the battlefield. Both the 25th and the 36th were “fighting regiments” which were heavily engaged during the war and suffered large numbers of killed or wounded. Draper served for a time on the staff of Maj. Gen. Ambrose as Acting Signal Officer, participated in the Antietam Campaign, fought at Fredericksburg, and pursued Morgan’s cavalry in Kentucky. In October 1863 following the Battle of Blue Springs (TN), Major Draper assumed command of the regiment in place of the wounded Lieut. Col. Goodell. General Ferrero notes in his recommendation that Draper continued in command five months later as of the date of his recommendation. While leading his regiment on the top of a rifle-pit at Wilderness, Draper was wounded, but he soon returned to his regiment participating in multiple engagements including at Weldon Railroad and Poplar Grove Church. Following the war, Draper was involved in multiple business pursuits and was active in politics, serving as a Massachusetts representative to the US Congress (1893-1897) and the US Ambassador to Italy (1897-1900). $800 - 1,200 48

98 [CIVIL WAR]. TABER, I. Walter (ca 1857-1933), artist. Buford’s cavalry opposing the Confederate advance upon Gettysburg. 1861. 16 x 8 in. (visible) pen and ink on paper, matted and framed, 23 x 16 in. (even toning, few light spots, unexamined out of the frame). Signed and dated lower left, “Taber / 1861.” An illustration showing a dismounted cavalry troop firing from behind a stone rail fence. The sketch was used to illustrate the profile “John Buford” by Russell F. Weigley in Civil War Times Illustrated, June 1966. Isaac Walton Taber (ca 1857-1933) is best known for his nearly 250 illustrations published in the expansive four-volume series, Battles and Leaders of the Civil War. Many of his sketches were based upon photographs taken by Civil War photographers, and therefore depict actual scenes from the war. He also contributed his artwork to magazines such as Century and St. Nicholas, and illustrated books including Rudyard Kipling’s Captain Courageous and the 1928 edition of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. While the photographic process evolved rapidly from its inception in 1839 and the wet plate process of taking photographs was coming into widespread use by the start of the Civil War, it was a cumbersome process in the field as well as in the studio. More significantly, at that time, the photographs themselves could not be reproduced as illustrations accompanying written reports of the war. As a result, publishers of newspapers and other periodicals in major cities, primarily in the North, employed a number of sketch artists who traveled with armies to draw the scenes that they witnessed. These sketches, most frequently pencil on paper with brief identifications of people and places, were then sent back by courier to the periodical publishers. The battlefield sketches received by the publishers were then copied by engraving artists onto wooden blocks, which were used in printing presses to illustrate printed articles covering the war. Unlike the photographers of the day, who were limited to capturing the aftermath of battles, the sketch artists had the advantage of recording what they were witnessing as the events occurred before their eyes. In the 1880s, the popular Century Magazine started publishing the narratives of Civil War veterans and retained a large number of sketch artists to illustrate the articles. They used interviews, photographs, and prior war-date sketches to produce accurate pictorial representations of the war. These illustrated accounts were incorporated into a large four-volume work entitled Battles and Leaders of the Civil War in 1881. Almost a century later, in 1973, American Heritage Magazine acquired the collection of drawings that had been held by Century Magazine, which were subsequently reproduced in The American Heritage Century Collection of Civil War Art published in 1974. Christie’s conducted two public auctions in 1988, which were comprised of the remaining original Century Magazine Collection of Civil War artwork that was dispersed by American Heritage Magazine, and a number of drawings by noted battlefield artists were acquired, including the example offered today. $500 - 700

99 [CIVIL WAR]. Avenue D - 13th New Jersey Vols. Tullahoma Tenn. Oct. 20th 1863. Civil War sketch by Corporal Charles Lelsle, 9th Ohio Light Artillery. 11 3/4 x 3 in.

After participating in the battles of Antietam, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, the 13th New Jersey Volunteers were transferred to Tennessee in the fall of 1863. The 9th Ohio Light Artillery was also on duty in Tullahoma, TN, at this time, providing Corporal Lelsle the opportunity to sketch the 13th NJ Volunteers’ quarters. $400 - 600

Handpainted depictions of the medals presented to Ives at bottom. Brayton Ives (1840-1914) was a decorated soldier whose post-war endeavors were equally impressive. Born in Farmington, Connecticut, Ives graduated from Yale University in 1861 before enlisting on 6/21/1861 as 1st lieutenant. He was commissioned into Field & Staff 5th CT Infantry on 7/23/1861 serving as 1st lieutenant and adjutant and later was commissioned into Field & Staff CT 1st Cavalry. HDS records a steady rise in the ranks over the course of Ives’s extraordinary four years of service, which culminated in his promotion to Brigadier-General by Brevet on 3/13/1865 on the written recommendation of Gen. Philip Sheridan. The New York Times obituary for Ives published on 23 October 1914 states that in conferring the brevet for gallantry in actions at Ream’s Station, Deep Bottom, Five Forks, and Sailor’s Creek, General Sheridan said, “This distinction is no gift - you have won it, your gallantry has earned it.” At the time of his brevet, 24-year old Ives was one of the youngest Brigadier Generals in the service. In April 1865, Ives commanded General Grant’s escort when the Union general went to Appomattox to accept General Lee’s surrender. He mustered out 8/2/1865. Following the war, Ives served as president of the New York Stock Exchange, the Northern Pacific Railway, and the Western National Bank of New York, as director of The Mercantile Trust Company, as chairman of The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, and in multiple other business roles. $600 - 800

101 [CIVIL WAR]. Painted escutcheon identified to Lieutenant George A. Chipman, 45th Massachusetts Infantry and 6th Massachusetts Militia. 24 1/2 x 29 1/2 in.

Chipman’s service, including a list of all engagements, attachments, and promotions, the shoulder straps and insignia of his various units and ranks, and the Great Seal of Massachusetts at center. With hand-painted depictions of the medals presented to Chipman at bottom. George Albert Chipman (1843-1917) was a resident of Boston, Massachusetts, and working as a nineteen year-old clerk when he enlisted on 9/12/1862 as a private. On 9/26/1862 he mustered into Company D of the 45th Massachusetts Infantry. He was mustered out on 7/7/1863 at Readville, MA. Chipman shortly thereafter re-enlisted, and on 7/15/1864 he was commissioned into Company A, 6th Massachusetts Infantry. He was mustered out on 10/27/1864 at Readville, MA. HDS indicates a promotion to 2nd lieutenant on 7/15/1864 as of Co. A 6th MA Infantry Volunteer Militia. The 45th MA fought at the Battle of Kinston and skirmished around New Bern, North Carolina, where they suffered heavy casualties. They also patrolled the streets of Boston to quell potential draft riots. The 6th MA was a 100 days regiment that performed garrison and guard duty. $600 - 800

Waldron (1841-?), a twenty-one year-old from Bristol, RI enlisted on 6/5/1861 as a private and mustered into Company G, 2nd Rhode Island Infantry. Intra-regimental transfers also placed him with companies E, A, and B. Waldron rose steadily through the ranks of this hard-fighting regiment, receiving promotions to sergeant, color sergeant, 2nd lieutenant, and finally on 3/14/1863 to first lieutenant (as of Co. A). Within weeks of his enlistment, Waldron was engaged at the First Battle of Bull Run where the 2nd RI fired the opening volley. The regiment was steadily engaged thereafter including at Williamsburg, Malvern Hill, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg, where the regiment is honored with a monument. At the Battle of the Wilderness, Waldron was listed as wounded with a severe wound in the left shoulder on 5/6/1864. He was discharged for wounds on 6/17/1864. $400 - 600

104 [CIVIL WAR]. III Corps badge identified to Sergeant Charles F. Browne, Company F, 1st Massachusetts Regiment, WIA Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg. 2 1/2 x 2 3/4 in. engraved silver suspension badge (light surface scratches). Elaborately engraved, the obverse includes visual puns and the text: “Hooker / Corps.” with engraved hooks; “[tree] / Division” perhaps a pun on Humphreys/Humph”trees”; and “[boxcars] / Brigade” representing Carr’s Brigade. The border features the surnames of senior generals: “McClellan. / Pope. / Meade. / Burnside.” The reverse border identifies the owner and regimental designations: “Segt. Chas. F. Browne. / Co. F. First Regt. / Mass. Vols. / Boston.” The center is engraved with 17 engagements that Browne and the 1st Massachusetts Infantry saw action in, including Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, all three of which saw Browne wounded in action. Charles F. Browne was a 32-year-old printer from Boston when he enlisted on 24 May 1861 as a corporal, mustering into Company F of the 1st Massachusetts Infantry. The badge here is a testament to the heavy fighting the regiment saw in the Eastern Theater. After First and Second Bull Run, Browne was promoted to sergeant on 1 November 1862, before being wounded in action at Fredericksburg (“slightly wounded,” 14 December 1862), Chancellorsville (“slight wound shoulder,” 2 May 1863), and again at Gettysburg (“wounded hand,” 2 July 1863). After Gettysburg, the records on Brown become conflicted. A muster roll notes that he was discharged on 19 October 1863, with another roll noting that Browne has been “absent or detached” in November and December 1863. The Civil War Database details that Browne was discharged from the 1st Massachusetts for promotion to captain of the 37th United States Colored Troops on 19 October 1863 (corresponding with the discharge muster roll). The 37th USCT personnel files note that he was dismissed on 31 August 1867. There are three documents from April 1864, however, that state Private Charles F. Browne of Co. F, 1st Massachusetts Infantry died on 21 April 1864 on the way to the hospital. There is nothing, however, to indicate that Browne was reduced in ranks to private. Nor is there another Charles F. Browne in the 1st Massachusetts that these documents may refer to. (Lot includes photocopies of muster rolls, casualty sheets, and death-related documents). $2,500 - 3,500

105 [CIVIL WAR]. Folk art carved pipe identified to the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry, referencing Colonel W.W. Averell and battles fought in 1862. Oversized folk art carved wooden pipe, approx. 5 1/2 in. overall length (including stem), 3 1/8 in. bowl diameter, and approx. 5 1/2 in. bowl height (some soiling and wear to surface but overall good condition with crisp inscriptions). This carved pipe features bowl at center with a central encircled five-point star and an array of patriotic text highlighting the battlefield accomplishments of the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry. Along the rim of the pipe bowl: “Col: [sic] W.W. Averill [sic], Com: [sic] 3d Penna. / Cav.” and just below that “Hail to the Chief.” Center star surmounted by “The Union Forever” with “On to Richmond” below. Remainder of the bowl with battle details from regimental engagements during a bloody spring of 1862: “Yorktown Evacuated May 4” (reference to the Siege of Yorktown, April 5-May 4, 1862); “Glorious Victory at Williamsburg” (Battle of Williamsburg, May 5, 1862); “Great Battle at Fair Oaks May 31 & June 1 & 2 Rebels Driven Back” (Battle of Seven Pines, Fair Oaks, May 31-Jun 2, 1862). Stem with “General McClellan Successful Change of His Position. Battles June 25 to July 1” (reference to the Seven Days Battles, Jun 25-Jul 1, 1862)” and “Battles of Sth. Mts. & Antietam / September 14 & 17” (reference to Battles of South Mountain and Antietam, fought on Sept 14 and 17 respectively). Top of stem inscribed “1862” between artistic flourishes. [With:] Typed note, 6 1/4 x 7 1/4 in. (sight), framed to 17 x 14 1/8 in. (creasing at folds, light soil, unexamined outside frame). Note indicates the pipe was “Found In Knapsack Of A Dead / Soldier After the Battle Of / Gettysburg” and includes portions of text inscribed on pipe. The 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry, alternately known as the 60th PA Infantry or Young’s Kentucky Light Cavalry, was steadily engaged throughout the Civil War. William Woods Averell (1832-1900), an 1855 West Point graduate, served as colonel and commanded the 3rd PA Cavalry from 23 August 1861 to 26 September 1862, during which the regiment participated in multiple engagements including at Antietam. Under Averell’s leadership, the 3rd PA Cavalry was considered one of the most efficient regiments in the service. The regiment, then under the command of Lt. Col. Edward S. Jones, played an important role at Gettysburg on 3 July 1863, halting Gen. J.E.B. Stuart’s Confederate forces from assaulting the rear of the Union lines on Cemetery Ridge. The regimental history for the 3rd Cavalry states that “The 60th was in the saddle in this campaign 20 hours out of the 24, for a period of 8 days and arrived on the field of Gettysburg on July 2, going into action immediately. On the following day, it assisted in meeting in the fierce charge of Hampton’s division, losing 24 men killed and wounded.” Though the original owner of the pipe remains unknown, the relic itself remains a powerful testament to the bravery of the 3rd PA and the pride with which its soldiers viewed their battlefield accomplishments. $2,000 - 3,000

106 [CIVIL WAR]. Two Civil War stirrups. Made by Charles G. Sherman, Monroe, CT. Two unmatched, bent wood stirrups. Rollers on stirrups secured by a pair of nuts and bolts on either side. Neither stirrup with a leather hood. The larger of the two measuring approx. 5 1/2 in. across at widest points, 7 3/4 in. high, and 4 1/8 in. tread depth. The smaller of the two measuring approx. 5 3/4 in. across at widest points, 6 3/4 in. high, and 3 1/2 in. tread depth. (wear, scattered abrasions, light soil, small crack at bolt on smaller stirrup, but both stirrups in overall good condition). Period label affixed on the side of each stirrup, both reading: “Made by / Charles G Sherman. For the Civil War / at Monroe / Cont [Connecticut].” Charles G. Sherman (1843-1907) of Monroe, Fairfield County, Connecticut, is listed in the 1860 US Federal Census as a seventeen-year old “Stirrup Maker” as is his father, Frederic Sherman. The 1870 US Federal Census identifies Charles as a “Farmer & Stirrup Manuf” though by 1880 the census lists him as a farmer only. HDS does not indicate that Charles G. Sherman served in the Civil War, though he would have been of age to serve. Census records indicate that Sherman spent the entirety of his life in Monroe, Connecticut, married, had children, and his obituary indicates that he was a Mason. Additional details about the nature of his work as a stirrup maker, and additional examples of his stirrups, were not located. $250 - 350

107 [CIVIL WAR]. Presentation cane identified to Confederate cavalry officer General William H. Jackson. 33 1/4 in. wooden cane with ornate 3 1/8 in. gold-plate floral scroll handle and 1 1/8 in. ferrule. Handle inscribed “W.B. Palmer” in unadorned portion of design, and at bottom of handle “Genl. W.H. Jackson.” General William Hicks Jackson (1835-1903) was an 1856 West Point graduate who resigned from the US Army at the outbreak of the Civil War. HDS indicates he enlisted as a captain on 6/1/1861 and was commissioned into CS General & Staff. He served first as a captain of artillery, then as aide-de-camp to Gen. Gideon Pillow before being appointed colonel of the 7th Tennessee Cavalry. Jackson continued to rise through the ranks becoming chief of cavalry and in December 1862 receiving a promotion to brigadier general. Jackson participated in the Vicksburg Campaign, Atlanta Campaign, and Nashville and Murfreesboro Campaign. His cavalry division formed part of Forrest’s corps in Hood’s Tennessee campaign. After the war he served as commissioner for the parole of Confederate soldiers. The cane offered here was likely gifted by Jackson to “W.B. Palmer” in the postwar period. HDS does not locate a W.B. Palmer in the 7th TN Cavalry, though a William Palmer is identified in the TN 12th Battalion Cavalry. The intended recipient of the presentation cane may, however, have been unaffiliated with the CSA. $500 - 700

Lieutenant General Carson Abel Roberts (1905-1983) was commissioned into the U.S. Marine Corps in 1929 upon his graduation from the University of Wisconsin. After completing flight training and becoming a Marine Aviator in 1934 he embarked upon an impressive, decades-long military career. Roberts served with distinction in WWII participating in three Pacific campaigns and earning two Bronze Stars with Combat “V.” He was in charge of the “Future Plans Section of Aircraft, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific” from March through August 1945 in which capacity he planned for employment of units to Okinawa and against the island of Japan. He served in four Korean campaigns for which he received the Legion of Merit with the Combat “V” and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism in leading close air strikes. His citation reads: “By skillful airmanship with and with complete disregard for his personal safety, pressing his attack to dangerously low altitude, he accurately place his load of fragmentation bombs on entrenched enemy troops...his aggressive leadership, efficient action, and fearless devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.” He served in multiple staff and command positions after the Korean War.

116 [TRANSPORTATION] - [ZEPPELIN]. Set of Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei porcelain with dinner plates, salad plates, and sherbet glasses. Ten (10) Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei [German Zeppelin Shipping Company] porcelain salad plates, ca 1936-1937. Each 7 1/2 in. diameter. Gilt and blue rim decorated with the logo of the Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei. Marked in red “Heinrich-Elfenbein-Porzellen/ Eigentum Der Deutschen/ Zeppelin Reederei” next to green Henrich & Co. factory marks.

Height 4 in., 3 3/4 in. diameter. Each with fine etch work, marked “D Z R” and decorated with the logo of the Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei. This collection of Zeppelin china comes from the family of McKendree B. Hutchins (1916-2009), who was inducted into the US Army Air Corps on 6 January 1942. He trained in the US and Iceland and was assigned to the Ninth Air Force Service Command after arriving in England. Hutchins landed at Omaha Beach on 12 June 1944, D-Day +6. During his time in the Army, he rose to the rank of master sergeant, receiving four silver stars and a purple heart. Hutchins’ service took him from Normandy, to St. Mere Eglise, Bastogne, and the Battle of the Bulge, and he was in Ulm, Germany when the war ended. Because of his rank in the Quartermaster Corps, Hutchins was often in a position to help others, and in one case, he was offered porcelain dinnerware and crystal sherbets in return for his assistance. Hutchins turned the gift down, however, the man was so grateful that he searched out Hutchins’ address in Chicago and shipped the gift to his wife at home. Hutchins only found out about the thank you gesture when he returned home in October 1945. The Zeppelin pieces remained in his family until his death in June 2009. Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei (DZR) operated zeppelins in transatlantic commercial flights, including the famous LZ 129 Hindenburg. After the crash, DZR stopped international service, and operations ceased at the outbreak of World War II. $2,000 - 4,000 F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M AG E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S .

117 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. REES, Charles Richard (1825-1914), photographer. Ninth plate daguerreotypes featuring John W. Draper and his wife. New York, New York. Ninth plate daguerreotypes of John W. Draper (1818-1882) and presumably, his wife Antonia Caetana de Paiva Pereira Gardner Draper (c. 1814-1870). Each housed in a pressed leather case, the brass mat stamped lower right “Rees and Co. 289 Broadway.” Craig’s Daguerreian Registry indicates Rees operated a gallery at this address in 1852-1853. Draper, an Englishman by birth emigrated to the US and settled in Mecklenberg County, Virginia in 1831 following the death of his father. In England he had received training in chemistry, which he continued in his new country. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1836 he taught at Hampden-Sydney University for a short time before moving to New York City where he took a job at the University of the City of New York (now New York University). He would remain in this academic setting until shortly before his death, holding various positions including the Presidency. It was at that institution that he met and formed a relationship with a fellow Professor, Samuel F. B. Morse. In March 1839, Morse visited Daguerre in his Paris studio and learned of the Frenchman’s discovery of how to make photographs. Returning to New York in April he was determined to attempt to make daguerreotypes himself. Recognizing his limitations, he enlisted the help of his colleague and chemist, Draper. From the beginning of the partnership, Draper was the scientific brains behind the collaboration. For perhaps a decade before Draper began working with Morse on the Daguerrean process, he had studied the interaction of light in changing the color of metallic salts. His chemical work prepared him well for the problems inherent in the daguerreotype process. When news of the daguerreotype reached America, Draper was ready and soon began making images using a common spectacle glass lens, later changing to a lens four inches in diameter and with a short focal length. Draper was among a handful of New Yorkers who claimed to have made the first portrait daguerreotype in America. Taft (1939: 28-33) devotes considerable attention to disputing Draper’s claim that he was the first but there is little doubt that by the first few months of 1840 he was successful. Like others new to the art, Draper recognized the monetary potential of making portraits, and later that spring (1840) partnered with Morse to open a studio on the east side of Washington Park. This was the second in the city after that of Alexander Wolcott and John Johnson. On the 23rd of March 1840, Draper gave a lecture at the Lyceum of Natural History of New York and displayed a daguerreotype of the moon – the first ever taken of the lunar surface. The plate was about an inch in diameter and had been exposed for 20 minutes. Draper left his partnership with Morse in the fall of 1840 to return to his teaching job. He did not, however, abandon his interest in photography. He continued his experiments with the effects of light, chemicals, and the growing field of photography (Barker 1888). His contributions to the field were recognized in 1859 when he was elected the first president of the American Photographical Society (Welling 1978:135). Anyone interested in Draper’s career is hampered by the loss of his papers and libraries in fires which occurred in 1844 and later in 1869. The New York Public Library contains a collection of Draper manuscript material from 1869 up until his death, but these papers do not, however, contain notes from his early career. Draper published extensively and his memorial published by the National Academy of Sciences is a comprehensive retrospective (Barker 1888). In addition to his service with the American Photographical Society, he also served as the President of the American Chemical Society in 1876, and was elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences in 1877. References Cited: Barker, George F. “Memoir of Henry Draper (1837-1882) A Paper Read Before the National Academy of Sciences April 18th, 1886.” (Accessed through nasonline. org). 1888.

118 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Boudoir photograph of an astronomical party, likely documenting the 1882 transit of Venus. 7 7/8 x 4 13/16 in albumen boudoir photograph on 8 7/16 x 5 5/16 in. cardstock mount (minor toning, very light chipping to mount edges). Pencil inscription to mount verso reads: “George Davidson.” A pencil inscribed note included with the image identifies the subjects as possibly being the Draper Party observing the 1878 solar eclipse. An outdoor image of an astronomical survey party of several people, including several seated women, with at least 5 telescopes and observation instruments set up on tripods. Two tents are erected, two horse-drawn buggies are visible in the background, and a telegraph pole is at center. George Davidson (1825-1911) was an astronomer, geographer, and surveyor. He was a protege of Alexander Bach and joined his work in the United States Coast Survey while also engaging in geodetic fieldwork and astronomy. From 1876 to 1886, he focused on astronomical work on the west coast, including the 1874 U.S. transit of Venus expedition, observation of the total solar eclipse on 7 January 1880, and led the party observing the 1882 transit of Venus in New Mexico. When in 1874 and 1882 Venus passed in front of the face of the Sun, there was international scientific zeal to observe and record the events. The United States sent out eight well-equipped expeditions for each transit. Under the U.S. Transit of Venus Commission, the responsibility fell to the U. S. Naval Observatory. Relying heavily on photographic methods, the Americans returned 350 plates in 1874, and 1380 measurable plates in 1882, the observations helped to calculate the solar parallax. $500 - 700

RARE OVERSIZED RENDERING OF THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPH OF THE EARTH FROM DEEP SPACE Between August 1966 and August 1967, NASA sent 5 Lunar Orbiters to take images of the moon, each equipped with a dual-lens Kodak camera, including one wide-angle 80 mm lens, and one telephoto 610 mm lens. Each orbiter also included a film processing unit, a readout scanner, and a film-handling apparatus; exposures were made on a roll of 70mm film. Orbiters I, II, and III were sent to image potential moon landing sites. Orbiter I captured this first view of the Earth as seen from the Moon on 23 August 1966. The lines which cross the image, characteristic of all Lunar Orbiter images, are a product of the complicated process used to create the images. This first image of the Earth from space forever changed the way we view our home planet. NASA photographic technician Jay Friedlander recalled: “You’re looking at your home from this really foreign kind of desolate landscape...It’s the first time you’re actually looking at Earth as a different kind of place...We’re on this little Earth. We’re only part of some grand solar system in some big galaxy and universe.

Provenance: Sold Sotheby’s New York, 29 November 2018, sale N09897, lot 8. Andrei Sokolov, inspired by Chesley Bonestell’s 1944 “Saturn, Viewed from Titan,” depicts a mobile space station on Saturn’s largest moon, and includes cosmonauts who are preparing to launch a mission to study the rings of Saturn in his painting. Sokolov, one of the most important artists documenting Russian space flight and history, was born in Leningrad in 1931, and originally trained as an architect. He developed an interest in science fiction at Moscow State University and was particularly affected by the flight of Sputnik. He was chosen by the USSR to graphically depict the Soviet space program in a way that was accessible to the public. $3,000 - 5,000

Hart 285a. Gilbert Stuart’s iconic portrait of Washington was sent to London in the autumn of 1796 to its new owner, the Marquis of Lansdowne, who gave engraver James Heath permission to engrave it and it was published not long after Washington’s death.

Collection of Tom Charles Huston $300 - 500 152 [POLITICS IN AMERICA -- ANTI-MASONIC PARTY]. A pair of broadsides supporting the Anti-Masonic Party, 1830s. ANDERTON, Samuel G. A Disclosure. [Boston]: [Anti-Masonic Christian Herald], 1830. 10 13/16 x 14 7/16 in. broadside (toned, short tears and creasing at edges, old folds). The Anti-Masonic Party, considered America’s first third party, was first founded in response to the Morgan Affair of 1826. Captain William Morgan was murdered, the suspects being local Masons who were enraged by Morgan’s supposed betrayal of Masonic secrets. This broadside claims a similar story: “On Monday last, [the 15th of March,] Mr. Samuel G. Anderton, of Boston, a Knight Templar, voluntarily...made a solemn oath...disclosing a most barbarous MURDER, of which he was an eye witness, in a ☞Royal Arch Chapter of Freemasons!☜” The tale was proved “wholly untrue” as early as 1832, and Cummings describes the tale as a “palpable falsehood.” Regardless of veracity, the broadside is representative of the widespread anti-Mason sentiments that led to the success of the party in the late 1820s and early 1830s. RARE: more common in the 8-page pamphlet under the title Masonry the Same All Over the World. Another broadside printing uses this title. [With:] Supplement to the Watchman and State Gazette. [Montpelier, VT]: The Watchman and State Gazette, 1835. 10 13/16 x 15 3/8 in. letterpress broadside (old creases, some spotting). A broadside issued to announce the Anti-Masonic party’s meeting in which they have laid out their political stances: “these views are well known; and would, under ordinary circumstances need no reiteration. But, inasmuch as the time approaches when the Antimasons of Vermont will be called on to act in an election deeply involving the welfare of the whole country, and in which their attachment to the principles they have avowed will be put to a severe trial, it would seem to be fitting that they should re-examine those principles, and decide whether they will, with the firmness and constancy of Antimasons.” Following are the 17 state principles with the Chairman of the party, Silas H. Jenison, signing in print. Jenison was elected Lieutenant Governor of Vermont in 1835, with Whig support. No candidate received a majority, and the General Assembly opted to allow him to act as governor until the next election, which he duly won under the Whig ticket. Vermont was a stronghold of the Anti-Masonic Party, electing Wilmer A. Palmer in 1831 on an Anti-Masonic ticket. In 1832, William Wirt, himself a former Mason, ran for president on the ticket, carrying Vermont and gaining 7.8% of the vote. Collection of Tom Charles Huston $500 - 700 72

Washington, D.C.: Gales & Seaton, 1830. [With:] 21st Congress, Report No. 378 with a report from William Henry Harrison. 8vo. (Toned, spotting, short tears to gutter, chipping to edges.) Original stringbound wrappers (lower portion of front wrapper lacking not affecting printing). FIRST EDITION of Harrison’s defense of his tenure as minister plenipotentiary to Gran Colombia. Appointed to the position in 1828, he failed to maintain a position of neutrality during his tenure, publicly and frequently opposing Simón Bolivar. Harrison reported that the country was on the edge of anarchy with Bolivar poised to become a military dictator. He wrote Bolivar an extensive letter, published here, imploring him “adhere to the tenets of republicanism.” Bolivar quipped in response that the United States “seems destined by Providence to plague America with torments in the name of freedom.” Upon Andrew Jackson’s inauguration, he recalled Harrison to make his own appointment. Harrison published this pamphlet promptly upon his return. RARE: OCLC locates only 3 copies. Sabin 30572; Streeter Sale 1740. [With:] William H. Harrison. April 23, 1830.

No maker identification visible. Abraham Lincoln was born in a one-room log cabin on his family’s “Sinking Spring” Kentucky farm on 12 February 1809. A replica of his birth cabin is currently housed in the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park and, though the folk art version offered here lacks chinking, it still closely resembles the one at Kentucky’s Lincoln Memorial landmark. Folk art items associated with the 16th president have long been popular, and have often utilized a log cabin motif as a way to symbolically identify Lincoln to his hardscrabble background and a frontier spirit. Items such as log cabin bookends, doorstops, still banks, and of course, the iconic “Lincoln Logs, “ continued long after the president’s death to function as reminders of how Lincoln’s character was shaped by his humble beginnings. $250 - 350

169 [POLITICS] -- [KENNEDY, John F. (1917-1963)].

Kennedy’s assassination, 22 November 1963 (tiny holes as a result of poor storage; otherwise in fine condition overall). [With:] Impressive color photograph of Hargis riding in the motorcade with the Kennedys, fully inscribed and signed by him: “To my friend John Jovich – Bobby Hargis – Best of Everything.” The late Dallas Police motorcycle patrolman Bobby Hargis (1932-2014) was a reserved yet much admired gentleman, and a respected and dedicated police officer. On 22 November 1963, Hargis was one of four motorcycle patrolmen assigned to flank President John F. Kennedy’s midnight blue Lincoln Continental stretch limousine as he and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy motorcaded from Love Field Airport to the president’s scheduled luncheon at the Dallas Trade Mart. Officer Hargis was positioned on the left side of the vehicle closest to Mrs. Kennedy. As the motorcade turned left onto Elm Street in Dealey Plaza, three shots rang out. Hearing the gunfire and seeing JFK in distress, Hargis sped his cycle forward and even with the rear trunk of the Lincoln. Then, the third and final shot struck President Kennedy in the head, killing him outright. Like Mrs. Kennedy, Governor and Mrs. John Connally, and Secret Service agent Clint Hill running to the car from behind, Hargis was splattered by blood, brain tissue and dura matter emitting from the president’s shattered skull. So violently was Hargis impacted by the debris that he pulled his cycle to the curb and, at first, believed he had been struck by one of the assassin’s bullets. The moment was graphic, historic, and tragic. With the exception of the patch offered here, nothing else Hargis wore on 22 November 1963 survived, nor did the cycle itself. $2,000 - 3,000 80

Publisher’s burgundy textured cloth gilt (minor wear to extremities, old paper label affixed to front board). Provenance: Annie McLean March, by descent to present owner (related by consignor). SALESMAN’S OR EDITOR’S COPY, SIGNED WITH “CORRECTION” BY SUSAN B. ANTHONY. On the title page, ostensibly for Volume I of what would become a 6 volume work, Anthony has crossed out the publisher’s name and address, writing beneath: “Susan B. Anthony / 17 Madison St. / Rochester.” Although volumes I & II were indeed by Fowler & Wells of New York, volumes III & IV were published by Anthony in Rochester. The book itself consists of the frontispiece portrait of Lucretia Mott followed by the title page of Vol. I, a dedication page, 11 plates featuring steel-engraved portraits of women prominent in the suffrage movement, preface (2pp.), contents (4pp.), a portion of the Introduction (4pp.), eight selected leaves from the main text, a publisher’s advertisement for the book, and 3 ledger leaves for potential subscribers. The composition suggests a salesman’s copy used to entice subscribers or book stores. The “correction” by Anthony suggests that it may have been issued to Anthony in her role as an editor for approval of the plates and printing, possibly for the second edition published by Anthony in 1887. RARE: no other copies of such a sample copy could be located. $1,000 - 1,500 82

The new state of Minnesota was home to thousands of Native Americans in 1862, many of whom were disenchanted with the government’s promise for annuities. In August of that year, a number of the Dakota were starving; on the 18th, Indians at the Lower Agency attacked the white settlers there. Over the next few weeks hundreds of whites were killed, until the uprising was finally put down by Federal troops under the command of Henry Sibley. Whitney photographed a number of the Native American principals involved with the uprising. Cut Nose, for one, was charged with the murder of 18 women and children and five men, and admitted to the brutal murder of several settlers in response to the US Army reneging on its treaty obligations. He was hanged with 37 other Dakota on 26 December 1862. Joel Ellis Whitney (1822-1886) is considered Minnesota’s finest pioneer photographer. He successfully operated his business in St. Paul during the years 18511871, before selling his studio and negatives to Charles Zimmerman, who in turn became the most prominent photographer in the state. James Edgar Martin (1825-1869) operated a photo studio in Minnesota during the 1850s and 1860s, specializing in stereoviews. Martin also marketed photographs produced by Whitney and Upton, and in 1869, he sold his gallery to Whitney. Benjamin Franklin Upton (1818-1910) began as a daguerreotypist in Maine between 1844-1851, then started working around the Minneapolis, St. Anthony, and Saint Paul areas of Minnesota, during the 1850s-1860s. He is best known for his portraits of the Dakota Indians imprisoned at Ft. Snelling after the 1862 conflict.

He holds a beaded pipe bag in one hand. Image catalogued in Frank H. Goodyear III’s Red Cloud: Photographs of a Lakota Chief (Plate 7, p. 21). Red Cloud traveled to Washington, DC in the spring of 1872 to meet with President U.S. Grant concerning his frustration with the Fort Laramie Treaty (1868). Despite assurances that the United States government would remove all military forts on the Great Sioux Reservation and uphold the Lakota’s hunting rights, a new fort had been erected on Lakota territory. Before his meeting with the President, Red Cloud agreed to sit for Mathew Brady and then visited Gardner’s studio two days later. Red Cloud’s attempts at peaceful negotiations with Grant continued through the 1870s and 1880s, and he journeyed to Washington numerous times to lobby on behalf of his people. $2,000 - 3,000

197 [NATIVE AMERICANS]. Cabinet card featuring a Native American woman with short hair, possibly the wife of Satanta, or “White Bear.” 4 1/8 x 5 3/4 in. albumen photograph on cardstock mount (few splotches of discoloration to image, and very light soiling and wear to mount edges and corners). Subject identified by ink inscription on mount recto: “Wife of ‘White Bear.’” Verso bears a few pencil inscriptions, including, in one hand, “Wife of Santanta (?)” and in another hand, “Zunia[?] squaw[?]” The woman stands next to a blanket-draped chair and wears a manta. Her hair is cut short, which could be a representation of the mourning of a loved one. Satanta was imprisoned in Texas until the end of his life, and his daughter is featured in at least one photograph with shortened hair, reportedly for this reason. $600 - 800

John Wesley Powell (1834-1902) and his assistant Almon Harris Thompson (1839-1906) conducted several geographic surveys down the Green and Colorado rivers in Wyoming, and Utah from 1871 through 1874. Though the project was geologic in scope, the researchers had frequent interactions with the local Native Americans captured in these images. Most were taken by John Karl Hillers who was originally hired as a boathand for Powell’s second expedition in 1871. He began to assist survey photographers E.O. Beaman (#39-40, 75) and later James Fennemore. By the next season in 1872, Hillers had become the expedition’s chief photographer. He continued to explore the West working for the Bureau of Ethnology, the Geological Survey, and the USGS, assembling nearly 23,000 negatives until his retirement in 1900.

208 [NATIVE AMERICANS]. BOSTON, Jacob A., photographer. Four cabinet cards presenting a photographic study of Southern Ute Chief Ignacio. Durango, CO: ca 1890. 3 7/8 x 5 1/2 in. cabinet photographs on cardstock mounts (rich tonality; some edge and corner wear to mounts, some surface loss to green mount). Each with photographer’s imprint on recto. A series of 4 photographs providing front, back, right and left profile views of Southern Ute Chief Ignacio, leader of the Weeminuche, wearing an “Indian Police” badge. The Southern Utes never had a chief that represented all bands. During the 1860s, Ouray (Tabeguache) represented several Ute bands during negotiations with Federal representatives, but he had not been selected for this role and was recognized primarily by the government. Southern Utes did not like Ouray’s decisions and chose to follow Ignacio (Weeminuche). Initially, Southern Utes were to be moved to a section of their lands, and a Southern Ute Agency established, the rest of the land having been ceded to the US. However, the agency never materialized and the government decided to move the Utes to Colorado. Ute bands in New Mexico did not want to leave, and later negotiations fell to Ignacio. Eventually the people did move to the Los Pinos River Agency in southern Colorado, which later became the town of Ignacio. Our sincere thanks to Mike Cowdrey for providing information regarding this group of cabinet cards. $2,000 - 3,000

After completing his photography apprenticeship in Germany at the age of 15, Henry Buehman journeyed to the American West, where he worked and traveled before settling in Tucson, Arizona Territory. There he purchased a portrait studio and established a photography business, quickly becoming the premier photographer in Tucson and in the Territory. Buehman periodically traveled through the surrounding areas, which allowed him to compile a large portfolio that included Native American and scenic images as well as his portraiture. In addition to his success as a photographer, Buehman eventually served as mayor of Tucson from 1895-1899.

John Clum (1851-1932) was a major figure in the development of Arizona, serving as Indian Agent for the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation from 1874-1877, Mayor of Tombstone beginning in 1881, and publisher and editor of the Tombstone Epitaph from 1880-1882. Eskiminzin (1828-1894) was born a Pinal Apache but married into the Aravaipa and became their principal chief. He was a proponent of peace who approached US Army Lieutenant Royal Whitman in 1871, asking that the Apache be allowed to stay where they could grow their native agave, rather than be moved to the White Mountain Reservation. Settlers responded to Apache raids that year with force, killing as many as 150 of Eskiminzin’s people and enslaving Apache children. President Ulysses Grant ordered a trial for the settlers, but they were acquitted in December of 1871. Eskiminzin’s people were subsequently moved to the San Carlos Reservation on the Gila River in Arizona. $2,000 - 3,000 F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M A G E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S .

George H. Rothrock was born in Missouri but grew up mostly in California after his family settled on a ranch near Marysville. He operated his first photography studio with fellow photographer William Houghton in Bakersfield, California from 1870-1875, and he opened Phoenix’s first photography studio in the fall of 1877 after his photographic exploration of the territory including stops at Fort Bowie, Solomonville, the San Carlos reservation, Fort Apache, Fort Verde, and other fascinating locales in the region. Rothrock moved to Tempe in 1893 and largely gave up the photography business soon after that. His body of work is immense, capturing and telling the story of Arizona Territory and its inhabitants as the century and its long-fought Indian Wars drew near a close. See Rowe, Jeremy.

J.C. Burge was first documented as a photographer in Arizona in April 1881, working as an operator at the Phoenix Gallery until moving to Prescott later that month. Over the following year, Burge worked as a traveling photographer in both Phoenix and Prescott before officially moving his studio to Prescott near the end of 1881. During that time, Burge produced stereoviews of Prescott, adjacent Fort Whipple, the Vulture Mine, and works in the Bradshaw Mountains. Two months after moving to Prescott, Burge again relocated his photographic business to Globe, where he produced images of the area including mining communities and the San Carlos Apache reservation. By 1884, Burge and a new partner, itinerant photographer James Hildreth from Utah, ventured to Flagstaff, opening a gallery in “New Town” in June of 1884. Hildreth and Burge separated soon after. Burge also formed a temporary partnership with New Mexico photographer Ben Wittick. Together, Burge and Wittick traveled to the land of the Hopi, where they photographed the Hopi (“Moqui”) snake dance. They then sold views of Arizona and New Mexico at a temporary gallery in Flagstaff in 1885. Burge moved on to the mining town of Kingston, New Mexico in 1885, operating galleries in New Mexico and Texas over the next twelve years. (Information obtained from “The origins of J.C. Burge, early Arizona Territory photographer,” by Jeremy Rowe, Arizona Origins post, 22 May 2022.)

246 [WESTERN AMERICANA]. The Rosborough family archive, including letters relating to the California Gold Rush, the Modoc War, the Klondike Gold Rush, and early settlement and mining operations in Idaho Territory, Utah Territory, Nevada, and Texas. Archive of more than 200 items predominantly authored by Alexander Madison “A.M.” Rosborough (1815-1900) and Joseph Brown “J.B.” Rosborough (18211901), two Tennesseans who led a wagon train westward to California in 1850 and remained in the West cementing legacies as pioneers and businessmen. Alexander Rosborough was a founder of Crescent City, California, an Indian Agent who served as a negotiator during the Modoc War, and a prominent judge. Joseph Rosborough, the primary correspondent in the archive, was a practicing lawyer who traveled throughout the western mining regions, residing in Idaho Territory and Salt Lake City, Utah, during their early mining boom years before removing to Texas. Collection primarily consists of personal and business correspondence but is accompanied by a small number of photographs, most notably two early cased images of Joseph Rosborough. Highlights of the archive include the following: a letter signed by Andrew Johnson as a US Representative from the state of Tennessee along with signatures of the rest of the TN delegation; letters discussing preparations for the overland journey to California and providing descriptions of Gold Rush-era San Francisco; a letter written by Indian Peace Commission member Alexander Rosborough discussing “Captain Jack” and negotiations during the Modoc War; letters from Joseph Rosborough describing early Idaho Territory mining towns and providing colorful narratives of his experiences in the rapidly growing American West; and letters from Alexander Joseph Rosborough (1865-1960) as he followed stampeders into the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. Many letters with covers. Conditions vary, but generally good. Various places, 1850 – 1900 (approx. 50 letters 1850-1876 from locations including San Francisco, Yreka (CA), Idaho City (IT), Virginia City (NV), Boise City (IT), Silver City (IT), and Salt Lake City; approx. 75 letters 18811890 from locations including Salt Lake City, New Orleans, Seattle, Belton (TX), Hailey (IT), and Boise (IT); approx. 90 letters 1891-1900 from locations including Aransas Pass, Victoria, and Belton, Texas, and the Klondike). Letters accompanied by 4 small notebooks utilized by Joseph Rosborough for memoranda and financial accounting and approx. 20 pieces of ephemera and assorted documents including a ca 1871 “Map of the Central Pacific Railroad and Its Connections,” newspaper clippings, Joseph B. Rosborough’s will, and miscellaneous receipts and indentures related to Joseph’s time in Texas. Both Rosborough brothers were born in Chester District, South Carolina, but relocated with their family ca 1826 to Lincoln County, Tennessee. Alexander Rosborough enlisted in 1836 with a TN regiment and fought in the Creek War of 1836 and the Second Seminole War before his discharge in 1837. After graduating from the University of East Tennessee he read the law in Columbia, TN, and bought the Columbia Observer newspaper ca 1841 serving as editor and publisher for a period of years. Younger brother Joseph completed college and joined Alexander in the newspaper business from 1841-1845. The brothers sold the Columbia Observer ca 1845 at which point Alexander assumed the role of principal editor of the Nashville Whig. Motivated by financial debts incurred

after the loss of their first newspaper establishment in a fire, Alexander joined the Tennessee Mining Company in early 1850 and became its superintendent. The company planned to take the overland route to California and to extract gold from quartz using a steam engine. Among those making the journey with him would be his brother, Joseph Rosborough. The letters in the archive commence on 25 February 1850 as preparations are underway for the voyage to California. These early letters include letters of introduction/recommendation for Joseph to California businessmen from various East Coast merchants, and a notable letter sent from “Washington City March / [18]50” containing the signatures of the entire Tennessee Delegation who endorse Joseph B. Rosborough: “The undersigned Senators & Representatives in Congress from Tennessee...take the liberty of recommending him to the friendship and confidence of the people of California and of assuring them that he is a man of high standing for honour & courage, and all the qualities which ought to command respect for him as a man....” The letter is signed by 13 politicians including future President Andrew Johnson (“Andrew Johnson”) who served at the time as U.S. Representative from Tennessee. Three letters in the archive written by Alexander contain details of preparations for their trip and the reasons the newspaperman and lawyer decided to join the mining venture. Writing on 21 March 1850 from Nashville to friend Samuel S. Coin in Columbia, Alexander states: “I had expected to remain in charge of the Whig [newspaper] until I paid off all Jos. & my debts but an offer has been made to me to take the superintendence of a Mining Company & after studying over the matter I have come to the conclusion to take charge of it thinking that I could get out of debt quicker by going to California than by remaining here....” Alexander writes his brother Joseph from Nashville on 7 March 1850 with an urgent request: “I expect to start for California in a few weeks - please write immediately on receipt of this & let me know what facts you have learned in Washington from Ring & Wright & others in relation to how they work the quartz - its richness - how far it is from San Francisco & in which direction - how steam engines can be gotten there the cheapest and quickest ... what power engines are most suitable &&& - about $10,000 in cash has been raised here, a company of 7 or 8 formed & I suppose I am to be superintendent for 18 months....” In a fascinating 3pp follow-up letter, Alexander writes to Joseph again just days later detailing the seven members of the company and their roles (including in his list one enslaved “Negro man”), noting that “we could get any number of persons but don’t want any more - if the steam engine is a much faster way of procuring gold out of the quartz....” He continues with details of the plans for the company: a member of the party will be heading to New York to procure the steam engine which will be sent to California “around the Cape,” members of the company will be traveling via Panama to San Francisco and then to the gold fields to select a suitable location, and the remaining company members will proceed overland from St. Louis until they are met near at the Sierra Nevada pass by the members already out West who will lead them to the selected location. He continues with details of the wagons, mules, provisions, and more. He closes noting that the St. Louis papers indicate “there will be enough of emigrants along to ‘Whip the Injuns’ who are becoming a little troublesome.”

There are no accompanying letters describing the overland portion of the voyage to California. The next Gold Rush-era letter is written from San Francisco and dated 4 April 1852 after the company has arrived in California. It is an illustrative 4pp letter from Joseph to his sister Jane “Jinnie” Patton Rosborough Wilson (1823-1900) in South Carolina and includes description of the rapidly growing city of San Francisco, “a great city - great in its variety, novelty, wealth, and enterprise,” and also his opinion on the usefulness of bringing enslaved individuals to California: “Several South Carolinians, North Carolinians, and Georgians have recently arrived in this country, the most of them designing to operate in the quartz mines, and some of them bringing negroes with them. After all this is not so violent a free soil state, many men who brought slaves with them from Tennessee retain and have them still while a few have been run away...The present Legislature of this state has just passed by a large majority a Fugitive Slave bill providing for the reclamation of all slaves who were brought into the state prior to its admission into the Union as a state...If the project of dividing the state is successful the southern part will understandably be a slave territory & state, but till then, it is not prudent to bring slaves here, other than attached & sensible domestics.” Changing directions he indicates that the break in the rains has allowed the miners to work upon a much larger area of the dry placers, and describes a walk along the wharf where voices from Europe, America, Asia and Africa could be heard along with Chinese immigrants with “shaved heads with long flowing quieus [sic].” After providing additional description of the city he references his new work as a merchant in partnership with a South Carolinian and notes that the paper on which he writes was brought from Columbia, TN, on a “ship of the desert (mules) and in a carpet bag which...I have carried more than 15,000 miles....” Correspondence in the collection does not resume until 1860/61, and the political events unfolding in the eastern portions of the country are as palpable in the west. Writing from Yreka, CA on 28 May 1861 to his brother David D. Rosborough (1816-1907) of Belton, Bell County, Texas, Joseph describes business matters, but more significantly describes the rising tensions in the region: “I am becoming dissatisfied with this country and feel a growing inclination to leave it....the feeling is growing stronger with Southern people in this state on account of the manifestation of cowardly & brutal animosity on the part of the larger mass of Northern men in this country toward Southern people. Although there is no Mason & Dixon line on the Pacific still in soul & in spirit the line is as distinctly drawn here.” Joseph did ultimately relocate. His next letter is written to his sister on 10 September 1866, from Idaho City, Idaho Territory, a bustling town founded in 1862 amidst the Boise Basin gold rush, the largest since the Civil War. The mid-1860s were the peak of the town’s prominence, and Joseph has already realized that fortunes were failing there: “This territory, as a placer mining region, has failed very much for the last year...A larger percentage of population (they are nomads in a mining country) have gone to Montana Territory above the Rocky Mountains...Of course they will have to fight the Indians - they expect that - and to lose many of their number, but that is a lottery in which especially in a mining country are always willing to ‘take the chances.’” As for Joseph and his business partners working the mines, he explains that he has “witnessed too many failures in that line to engage in it....” Joseph and his partners seem to be primarily involved in the region as investors, who make money by the sale of “quartz interests” in the area and surrounding country. He also references his ongoing legal work which seems to constitute in some portion legal defense services for mine owners embroiled in disputes. Joseph shares that he has recently returned from Owyhee County (Idaho Territory), where he was “called to defend another suit against the famous silver mine known as the Poorman.” Joseph notes that he will not return to the south which he views as grievously wronged by the North. He relays that in the recent territorial elections a large majority was won by the Democratic Party and in celebration “Dixie” was played by the band to the joy of the many southern sympathizers. While he has nothing to do with politics, he tells his sister that he admires and exalts the “freedoms of the Mountains, where men are free to think, speak and act.” On 22 September 1866, Joseph has arrived in the City of Idaho, Idaho Territory. He describes in this letter at length Chinese herbal remedies for headaches, offering that it works quite well. He notes as well that “branch of Asiatic population has increased largely in this Territory this year, and is spreading up in to Montana Territory.” In December 1867 while laid over in Virginia City, Nevada, waiting for a stage to Idaho City, Joseph describes the boomtown as a “thriving city sustained by silver mining as is the whole state , for it has no seaboard, no navigable rim, no manufacturers and but little agriculture.” He continues to describe the advance of the railroad and the landscape, recalling that along the shores of Donner Lake “just 21 years ago a part[y] of immigrants known as the ‘Donner party’ were caught in a snowstorm (30 feet deep) and most of the 25 or 30 perished, the survivors (4 or 5) sustained life by eating their companions.” By the summer of 1868 he has relocated his home (“so far as I have any” he writes) from Boise City to Silver City, Idaho Territory. Joseph writes to his sister on 28 June 1868, 114 A M E R I C A N H I S T O R I C A L E P H E M E R A & P H O T O G R A P H Y

that “Hostile Indians have til recently infested the country all around, but the whites have recently retaliated by slaughtering several bands. Last month the Indians killed the stage driver on the road home to Cal. 35 miles below here, shot two other men, were pursued to their camp in the great canons of the Owhyee river and all killed with their squaws & children.” Additional letters from Joseph over the course of the next few years continue to provide richly detailed descriptions of western towns and cities, their people, and his business pursuits. Alexander Rosborough’s pursuits in northern California following his arrival there were no less impressive. Initially, Alexander mined in California with his partners from the Tennessee Mining Company, but he left the mines ca 1851 and rejoined his brother in San Francisco where both men worked for a time for the San Francisco Daily Evening Picayune. By 1853 he had departed San Francisco and in partnership with others established a settlement at present-day Crescent City, CA. It was here, during a time of particularly tense relations between the miners and the Native Americans, that Alexander was appointed as special Indian Agent for the County of Siskiyou in northern California. Alexander Joseph Rosborough (1865-1960), son of Alexander M. Rosborough, described his father’s activities in northern California in a 1947 article for the California Historical Society: “His work, which involved traveling among the various tribes, straightening out their difficulties and sometimes furnishing food to keep them from starving, was arduous....The Indians placed great confidence in my father, and long after military posts had been established and he had resigned as special Indian agent to become county, then district judge, they continued to bring him their troubles for adjustment.” Relocating from Crescent City to another boomtown, Yreka, CA, the eldest Rosborough practiced law. He was elected and served as Judge of Siskiyou County from 1855-1869 at which time he was elected District Judge of Modoc, Shasta, Trinity, and Siskiyou Counties serving from 1870-1879. It was while serving as District Judge that Alexander was called upon, at the request of the Modoc, to join an 1873 federal Peace Commission in negotiations with Kintpuash “Captain Jack,” a chief of the Modoc tribe. Kintpuash and his small band of warriors were in a defensive position near present-day Lava Beds National Monument when Alexander and other negotiators met with him to discuss terms for peace. Alexander’s letter offers a vivid and clear delineation of his thoughts on the negations. Writing his brother (presumably Joseph) from Shasta, CA, on 12 April 1873, Alexander states, in


part: “I left the Lava Bed after 8 o’clock last Sunday morning and rode to Yreka by 4 o’clock Monday morning and took the Stage for this place....The Telegraph tells me that at a counsel [sic] on yesterday at one o’clock (the 11th) the Indians at the Lava Bed murdered Gen Canby & Dr E. Thomas....I went out with Meachum on the 4th and met Capt Jack and talked with him for four or five hours and became fully satisfied that there was but little choice with the Indians as to whether they would die or leave their place of nativity. They told me they were willing to give up lost land (where they were born and the place of their valuable fishing) if they could stay anywhere in the country which they knew.... After we returned to the camp, the Commissioners had a meeting at which I told them that there was, in my opinion, no use of talking anymore to the Indians that if the Government would allow them to remain anywhere where the Indians know the country, it had only to say so and the Indians would agree to it, and if the Government intended remove them then there was no need of talking anymore, but to tell them they must leave or fight....” Alexander M. Rosborough spent the remainder of his life in California. He moved to Oakland ca 1880 and passed away there in 1900. Joseph moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1871 and remained there until 1890 when his deteriorating health drove him to seek a different climate. Joseph moved this time to Texas where he continued his business pursuits purchasing with partners more than 36,000 acres of land. He remained in Texas until 1898. A large volume of the archive’s correspondence details Joseph’s business and personal pursuits in Texas prior to moving one last time, returning to his home state of South Carolina where he would die in 1901, just one year after his older brother. Forming another important part of the archive are seven letters written by Alexander M. Rosborough’s son, Alexander Joseph Rosborough, who followed in the steps of his father and uncle by heading to the Yukon Territory in 1898 as part of the Klondike Gold Rush. His letters, spanning late April through late June 1898, come just on the heels of the April 3, 1898, “Palm Sunday Avalanche,” the deadliest event of the Klondike Gold Rush during which an estimated 65 lives were lost. Alexander Joseph travelled from Oakland, CA, to the Klondike via the Chilkoot Trail. His letters are written from Lake Linderman, Lake Bennett, Tagish Post, Below White Horse Rapids, Fort Selkirk, and Dawson. On 20 April 1898 he writes to his brother from “Wrights Cove, Lake Linderman” describing what has since become the quintessential image of the Klondike Gold Rush: “When we reached the summit of Chilkoot Pass and for the first time gazed down across [?] Lake and off far, far away into the, what? snow everywhere I saw a little black moving line, like a colony of ants at work - they were men, women, - dogs, horses goats, donkeys, mules, all pulling sleds, coming to the Pass on the lake below and hauling away little by little their goods to lake Linderman 10 miles away - We pressed on paid our customs duty, were very fortunate in discovering our goods, with but short delay - and then - we joined the line.” He continues in this same letter describing the sleds hauled by the stampeders, the extreme cold, and how he will team up with some bridgebuilders and carpenters from Los Angeles “getting out logs - whip-sawing our lumber and building our boats - this will help us much....we are healthy and

happy - There is something about this that I like.” Later letters capture details of the overland and river expedition, as well as the inherent danger in it (“we hear that two men driving loaded dog sleds went through the ice and were drowned yesterday below where we are camped”). Having reached Dawson on 24 June, he shares with his mother and father details of the mining boomtown: “This is a typical mining town, the principal money in circulation is gold dust, each store, and saloon has its gold scales and when a purchase is made the miner throws down his buckskin sack and the shop-keeper weighs out the price....” Though the letters indicate Alexander Joseph intended to stay in the Yukon, he returned home to California in late July 1898.

In 1893, Oklahoma Territory’s fourth and largest land run marked the opening to the settlement of the Cherokee Outlet known as “the Strip.” In 1890, President Harrison issued a Proclamation that forbade grazing leases in the Cherokee Outlet after 2 October 1890, effectively ending the Cherokee’s tribal profits and forcing them into an agreement to sell these lands. Immense interest grew, exacerbated by droughts, declining agriculture prices, and the Panic of 1893, with thousands anticipating the release of land in camps on the Kansas border. Four land offices were set up in advance, one in Perry, and the others in Enid, Woodward, and Alva. The Run itself began at noon on 16 September 1893 with an estimated 100,000 participants hoping to stake a claim to the 6 million acres and 40,000 homesteads. In Perry, reports estimate that 90,000 people arrived in the rush and 40,000 had erected tents by nightfall, including over 100 saloons and gambling houses. $2,500 - 3,500 116 A M E R I C A N H I S T O R I C A L E P H E M E R A & P H O T O G R A P H Y

280 [WESTERN AMERICANA]. Album of photographs showing the construction of the “Bismarck Bridge.” [Dakota Territory]: [F. Jay Haynes], [1882]. Folio (11 1/4 x 13 5/8 in.) 287 x 345 mm. 62 mounted albumen photographs, first and last image 8 1/4 x 6 in., majority approx. 7 5/8 x 4 1/2 in. (Occasional spotting, minor toning.) One-quarter dark brown morocco with cloth boards, spine in 5 compartments with 4 raised bands, gilt-lettering to 2. (front board detached, spine with separations, some scuffing). Printed sheet to the preliminary leaf reads: “The Bismark Bridge. Bridge over the Missouri River at Bismarck, D.T., on the Northern Pacific Railroad. Opened for Traffic Oct. 21, 1882. George S. Morison, Engineer.” With statistics. “3 Through Spans, 400 feet each. / 2 Deck Spans, 116 feet each. / Total Length Permanent Bridge, 1,450 feet. / Timber Trestle, 1,500 feet. / Total, 2950 feet.” Several images are dated in-negative. The first image shows the site with one complete pier and a second underway, followed by a series of photographs showing the construction process of the bridge. Also includes a view of two men outside the Engineer’s office and the final image of the complete bridge with a laden train crossing over. The images were captured by F. Jay Haynes (1853-1921) who was the official photographer of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The Northern Pacific Railway was a transcontinental railroad that began construction in 1870 after receiving nearly 40 million acres of land grants which were approved by Congress in 1864. The line originated in Duluth, Minnesota, and terminated in Tacoma, Washington, connecting the Great Lakes with Puget Sound. Already behind the aspirational completion deadline by 1879, Northern Pacific decided to expend a great amount of capital to cross the Missouri River, a major obstacle and considered the most treacherous to bridge especially due to powerful ice jams. The site near Bismarck, Dakota Territory was chosen as it provided the shortest route between the existing tracks on either side of the river, and the bedrock cliffs on the east bank would better resist erosion. This was, however, the widest area of the river which lead architect, George Morison, helped to mitigate by creating a dike to narrow the river. He also built 2 additional piers with metal-coated edges upstream to break up ice floes. Construction on the piers began on 1 September 1881 and was completed by 3 June 1882. The central piers were achieved by the use of pneumatic caissons, which were still a relatively new technology in America. $6,000 - 8,000

He grew up in Missouri, and became a pro-Confederate bushwhacker under William Clarke Quantrill, even after Confederate withdrawal from the state. After the war, Younger, several of his brothers, other former guerrillas, and Frank and Jesse James began robbing banks, stagecoaches, and trains across the region. After an 1874 train robbery, they became known as the James-Younger gang and began to be pursued by the Pinkertons. After an attempted bank robbery in Northfield, MN went awry, Cole and his brothers Jim and Bob were captured and wounded by a local posse. They pleaded guilty and received life in prison at Minnesota Territorial Prison. Frank and Jesse James successfully fled to Nashville, TN, where they lived peacefully before Jesse returned to crime in 1879. $3,000 - 4,000

The Dalton boys -- Bob, Grat, Emmett, and Frank -- grew up leading a hardscrabble existence in Missouri, Indian Territory, and Kansas, four of a family of thirteen children. Early in their adulthood Frank, Bob and Grat served briefly as Deputy Marshals in Indian Territory and Fort Smith, AR. Frank, described by many as an outstanding peace officer, was killed on 27 November 1887 while attempting to arrest a horse thief. Not long afterward, Bob and Grat turned away from the law to a criminal career. $300 - 400

294 [OUTLAWS]. A pair of real photo postcards showing the hanging of Thomas Edward “Black Jack” Ketchum. [April 1901]. 5 3/8 x 3 3/8 in. real photo postcards captioned in the negative, “The Hanging of ‘Black Jack’ the Outlaw,” and “Body of ‘Black Jack’ after the Hanging Showing Head snapped off.” Each with surface soiling, some toning, and wear to edges and corners. “The Hanging” card bears adhesive and black paper residue spots and likely modern pencil inscriptions on verso. One image shows men standing around Ketchum as the noose is prepared to be placed around his neck; the other shows men posing with the body of the executed Ketchum. Thomas Edward “Black Jack” Ketchum was born in Texas in 1863. He and his older brother Sam worked as cowboys around New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas by about the 1890s. After a while, the brothers took to robbing trains and occasionally stores and post offices. Over their criminal career they rode with members of the “Wild Bunch,” “Kid” Curry, members of the “Hole in the Wall Gang,” and virtually every other contemporary outlaw. After Sam’s death, “Black Jack” attempted a lone robbery, getting shot in the process. He was thrown off the train and unable to escape due to weakness from pain and loss of blood. He essentially surrendered to the next train. Ketchum was tried and sentenced to hang. After a number of delays, he was finally led to the scaffold 26 April 1901. A miscalculation by an inexperienced hangman severed Black Jack’s head in the drop. He became the only person hanged for train robbery (later deemed unconstitutional); the only person hanged in Union County, NM; and one of only a couple of criminals decapitated in the US during a judicial hanging. $400 - 600 F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M A G E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S .

One features this image. Fleming James Parker was executed on 3 June 1898 after a series of crimes, beginning with an ill-fated train robbery in February of 1897 for which Parker was imprisoned at Yavapai County Jail in Prescott. Parker escaped from jail prior to his trial, killing popular district attorney, Erasmus Lee Norris, in the process. He was recaptured and sentenced to death for murder, putting an end to his life of crime. Much legend surrounds the life of Fleming Parker, and many details and embellishments of these events abound, including a popular account that Parker spent the last night before his execution with a local prostitute by the name of “Flossie.” $10,000 - 15,000

Guide for Prospective Sellers and Buyers GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE SELLERS Evaluation of Property If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department at 312.280.1212 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Hindman LLC and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary. Standard Commission Rates Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for less than $5,001, with a minimum commission of $75 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Hindman LLC, you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price. Shipping Arrangements Hindman LLC can advise you as to how to have your property delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Hindman LLC and deducted from the proceeds of the sale. We may recommend packers and shippers, but we are not responsible for their acts or omissions. Appraisals Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances. Please contact our Estates and Appraisals Department at 312.334.4232 for further information.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS Conditions of Sale All bidders with Hindman LLC must read and agree to Conditions of Sale posted in this catalogue prior to bidding at an auction. Viewing Auction Items It is highly recommended that all prospective bidders either view the sale via our online catalogue or contact Hindman LLC for further images or to schedule an appointment to view objects in person. Estimates Hindman LLC provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision. Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.

Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes. Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The standard bidding increments are: $0 - $500 ........................................ $25 $500 - $1,000 ..................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ................................... $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ................................... $250 $5,000 - $10,000 ................................. $500 $10,000 - $20,000 .............................. $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 .............................. $2,500 $50,000 - $100,000 ............................ $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 .......................... $10,000 Above > $200,000 .... At Auctioneer’s Discretion

In-House Bidding Our auctions are free and open to the public with no obligation for attendees to bid. Registration requires your full contact information, photo identification, credit card information, your signature and agreement to the Conditions of Sale.. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer. Live Bid Online Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at hindmanauctions.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at hindmanauctions.com. Absentee Bidding If you are unable to attend an auction, you may place an absentee bid, either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. An absentee bid is the highest price you are willing to pay exclusive of buyer’s premium and applicable sales tax. Hindman LLC will exercise absentee bids at no additional charge. Absentee bids are always confidential, and bids are executed at the lowest price possible by the auctioneer according to reserves and competing bids. Telephone Bidding You may register telephone bid requests either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Upon registering for a telephone bid, you will be called on the day of the auction by a Hindman representative approximately five lots before your item is scheduled to be sold. They will communicate to you the bidding activity and will relay your bids to the auctioneer at your discretion. Please note we can only accept telephone bids for lots with a low estimate of $300 or above unless otherwise noted online. Telephone bids may be requested up to 2 hours prior to the auction start time. Updated 4/8/22


Conditions of Sale These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction. A. BEFORE THE AUCTION 1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance— are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact. Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot. 2. CONDITION The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report. 3. VIEWING LOTS We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge. If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping purposes. 4. ESTIMATES Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges. 5. WITHDRAWAL We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw. B. REGISTERING TO BID 1. GENERAL We reserve the right to reject any bid. By participating in the sale, you represent and warrant that: (a) The bidder and/or purchaser is not subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or any other restriction on trade in the jurisdiction in which it does business as well as under the laws and regulations of the United States, and is not owned (nor partly owned) or controlled by such sanctioned person(s) (collectively, “Sanctioned Person(s)”); (b) Where you are acting as agent, your principal is not a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by Sanctioned Person(s); and (c) The bidder and/or purchaser undertakes that none of the purchase price will be funded by any Sanctioned Person(s), nor will any party be involved in the transaction including financial institutions, freight forwarders or other forwarding agents or any other party be a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by a Sanctioned Person(s), unless such activity is authorized in writing by the government authority having jurisdiction over the transaction or in applicable law or regulation. 2. NEW BIDDERS New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity. (a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s

name and registered address, together with documentary proof of directors and beneficial owners. (c) Trusts, partnerships, offshore companies, and other business entities must contact us in advance of the auction to discuss our requirements. If we are not satisfied with the information you provide us in our bidder identification and other registration procedures, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid. 3. RETURNING BIDDERS If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction. 4. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal. 5. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction. 6. OUR BIDDING SERVICES We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services. (a) Phone Bids: You must contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction to arrange a phone bid. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff is available to take the bids. We agree that we may record telephone bids. (b) Internet Bids: You can bid in our live sales via our bidding platform or through third-party bidding sites. (c) Written Bids: You can find a Written Bid Form at the auction location, or online at www.hindmanauctions.com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least twenty-four (24) hours before the auction. We will endeavor to execute written bids at the lowest possible price consistent with the reserve. If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids. 7. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a temporary authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 2 to 7 days. C. DURING THE AUCTION 1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION (a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (b) Online Auctions. The auctioneer will accept bids from Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (c) Timed Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion.

2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1). 3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller. If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at a set increment lower than the lot’s low estimate and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold. 4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges. Please note that Hindman will not accept payments for purchased lots from any party other than the purchaser, unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and Hindman prior to the sale. D. AFTER THE AUCTION 1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots, we charge twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $400,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $400,001 up to and including $4,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $4,000,001. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium. 2. TAXES The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required. 3. MAKING PAYMENT (a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date. (b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name. (c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways: (i) Wire transfer. (ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed. (iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us. (iv) Credit card: Credit card payments may not exceed $10,000 and a

142 A M E R I C A N H I S T O R I C A L E P H E M E R A & P H O T O G R A P H Y

convenience fee of 3% will be added to each credit card payment. (v) ACH Bank Transfer (d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1338 West Lake Street, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department. 4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you. 5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse. 6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion: (a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due. (b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation. (c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount. (d) We can hold you legally responsible for the amount you owe us and bring legal proceedings against you to recover the amount owed by you, plus other losses, interest, legal fees, and costs as allowed by law. (e) We can reveal your identity and contact details to the seller. (f) We can reject any bids made by or on behalf of you in future auctions or require you to provide us with a deposit before accepting any bids. (g) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest, or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us. (h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate. 7. SHIPPING, COLLECTION, AND STORAGE (a) You must collect purchased lots within thirty (30) days of the auction. We can assist in making shipping arrangements by suggesting art handlers, packers, transporters, or experts, but you must arrange all transport and shipping with them, and we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping. (b) If you do not collect any purchased lot within thirty (30) days following the auction, we may, at our sole option, (i) charge you storage and insurance costs; (ii) move the lot to another Hindman location or to a third-party warehouse, whereupon we will charge you transport costs, insurance costs, and administration fees for doing so, and you will be subject to the third-party storage warehouse’s standard terms and responsible for paying its standard fees and costs; or (iii) sell the lot in any commercially reasonable way we think appropriate. (c) In accordance with applicable state law, if you have paid for the lot in full but you do not collect the lot within the time specified by the law of the state where the auction takes place, we may charge you state sales tax for the lot. (d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6). 8. EXPORTING, IMPORTING, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES (a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot. (b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be


responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife. E. WARRANTIES 1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void. 2. OUR LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows: (a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction. After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty. (b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type. (c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified. “Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty. (d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice. (e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion. (f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot. (g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else. (h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must (i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale. (i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. (j) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

3. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR BOOKS If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances: (a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms: (i) This additional warranty does not apply to (A) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards, or advertisements; or damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears, or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text or illustration; (B) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps, or periodicals; (C) books not identified by title; (D) lots sold without a printed estimate; (E) books that are described in the catalog as sold not subject to return; or (F) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale. (ii) To make a claim under this additional warranty, you must give written details of the defect within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale and return the lot within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale to the saleroom at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale. (iii) Paragraphs E(2)(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) also apply to a claim under this additional warranty. (c) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the additional warranty for books or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void. 4. JEWELRY (a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time. (b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report. (c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report. (d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. 5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS (a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys. (b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use. (d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap. 6. YOUR WARRANTIES You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money

F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M A G E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S . C O M 143


laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes. F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU (a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties. (b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale. (c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH. (d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services. (e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot. (f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses. G. OTHER TERMS 1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation. 2. RECORDINGS We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction. 3. COPYRIGHT We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein. You cannot use them without our prior written permission. We make no representation and offer no guarantee that the buyer of a lot will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights. 4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT If a court finds that any part of this agreement is invalid, illegal, or impossible to enforce, that part of the agreement will be treated as being deleted, and the rest of this agreement will not be affected. 5. TRANSFERRING YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES You may not grant a security over or transfer your rights or responsibilities under these terms unless we have given our written permission. This agreement will be binding on your successors or estate and anyone who takes over your rights and responsibilities. 6. PERSONAL INFORMATION We will hold and process your personal information in line with our privacy policy at www.hindmanauctions.com.

7. WAIVER No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy contained herein shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. 8. LAW AND DISPUTES This agreement, and any noncontractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or any other rights you may have relating to the purchase of a lot will be governed by the laws of Illinois. You and we agree to try to settle the dispute by mediation submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in Illinois. If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days from the date when mediation is initiated, then the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Illinois, and the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator shall order the production of documents only upon a showing that such documents are relevant and material to the outcome of the dispute. The arbitration shall be confidential, except to the extent necessary to enforce a judgment or where disclosure is required by law. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on all parties involved. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. This arbitration and any proceedings conducted hereunder shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code and by the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958.
