39 12” TERRESTRIAL GLOBE ADDISON, J[OHN] A New Edition of D. Adam’s Terrestrial Globe, Correctly laid down according to the best Observations & Latest Discoveries with the Tracks of all the Circumnavigators up to Oct. 1st 1818, by J. Addison, Geographer London. Made & Sold by J. Addison & Co., no 9 Skinners Street Snow Hill, [c.1820], hand-coloured engraved globe, supported in graduated engraved brass meridian ring with hour circle, fitting in horizon ring with calendrical scales, on associated stand, minor professional restoration by Stephen Sanders (see footnote) Note: John Addison Globe maker to George IV was active from 1800 - 1830. He was granted Royal appointment in 1820 and was trading as Addison and Co after 1815. Addison produced terrestrial and celestial globes in many sizes from 3” through to the magnificent 36” “Terraqueous Globe.” A rare example of this globe was manufactured and published by G and J Cary in 1840 and was sold at Sotheby’s in 2009 for £200,000. The same Addison globe was later manufactured by Malby and further by Wyld. This 12” table globe was published in 1818 by Addison. The Globe presents the circumnavigations of significant explorers including all 3 voyages of Captain Cook the voyages of Captain Vancouver and Butler’s track to China. The cartographical detail is stunning for a globe of this size. The Globe is named as a new edition of D. Adams’s terrestrial globe. Dudley Adams was the last of three generations in a family of instrument makers based in London. The firm produced high quality globes and instruments from 1735 until 1817 when, due to mismanagement, they were forced into bankruptcy. Dudley Adams sold his stock including plates and unfinished globes in that year. It is unclear whether Addison had bought any of the plates from the sale of Adams stock, but certainly seemed to want to exploit a gap in the market of globe production. The globe is constructed of a plaster and gesso shell laid with 12 beautifully engraved and printed paper gores which are hand coloured and laid down. The horizon papers also engraved showing degrees and compass points, the Gregorian calendar, zodiac and an unusual addition of significant Saint’s days. Restoration Work The globe has been carefully cleaned to remove the occluded perished varnish and reveal the stunning map. The paper has been sized and re-varnished with shellac to protect the map. There is some damage to the surface in Asia which has been repaired. The stand has been restored and cleaned with some small repairs to the damage on the horizon circle. The brass springs are later but the rest of the metal work is original and has been gently cleaned and lacquered to protect the surface. The Restoration Work was undertaken by Stephen Sanders. www. globerestoration.co.uk £3,000-5,000

40 CORONELLI, VINCENZO MARIA FINE SET OF 24 UNJOINED GLOBE GORES FOR 42 INCH (3 1/2 - FOOT) TERRESTRIAL GLOBE comprising 12 gores of the northern hemisphere and 12 gores of the southern hemisphere, plus the north and south polar calottes, one engraved “Venezia, 1688”, one (of S. Sea) with 2 margins neatly added to lower section, each gore comprised of two sections neatly joined, 3 sections with Isolario text on verso Note: This beautiful set of gores present a remarkable large format depiction of the terrestrial world, based upon the monumental terrestrial globe constructed by Coronelli for the French King Louis XIV. They comprise 12 gores of the northern hemisphere and 12 gores of the southern hemisphere, plus the north and south polar calottes. Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718) was apprenticed as a wood engraver and printer, before joining the Franciscan Brotherhood in 1665. In 1678, after studying Astronomy and Euclid, Coronelli began working as a geographer and was commissioned to make a set of Terrestrial and Celestial globes, 5 feet in diameter, for Ranuccio Farnese, the Duke of Parma. Coronelli was next invited to Rome to construct a similar pair of Globes for Louis XIV and from 1681 to 1683, he lived in Paris, where he constructed an even larger pair for the cardinal to present to Louis XIV. Fifteen feet in diameter, weighing nearly 4000 pounds and costing 100,000 francs, they were the largest, most accurate and beautiful globes the world had seen. Coronelli’s globes for Louis XIV brought him fame throughout Europe. Returning to his native Venice in 1684, he obtained official support to set himself up as a publisher of maps and globes at the Convent of S. Maria Gloriosa de Frari, and within ten years Coronelli had established himself as the leading atlas and globe-maker of Europe. By 1697 he had published the first volumes of the atlas series, the Atlante Veneto, the Corso Geografico in two volumes, and the first part of the Isolario (1696). He described the Isolario on its title-page as being “supplementary to the XIV volumes of Blaeu”, revealing his ambition to be recognised as the successor to the great Dutch mapmaking firm of Blaeu. Equally important as his maps was his role as a globe maker, the cartography of the gores being very similar to his maps. His first printed globes were the 3 ½ -foot (42 inch) terrestrial and celestial globes published in 1688, at the time the largest printed globes ever made, which were reduced versions of the globes he had made for Louis XIV. By 1697 when he published the Libro dei Globi he was offering for sale five sizes of globes, in diameter 3 ½ -foot, 1 ½ foot, 6 inches, 4 inches and 2 inches. The 3 ½ -foot globes he claimed to be the most perfect ever made. Only a small number of complete examples have survived, mostly residing in major institutional collections around the world. Separate globe gore sheets from this famous globe periodically appear on the market, but rarely complete sets. There were 4 editions of the Libro dei Globi, all published in Venice, in 1688, 1692-3, 1699 and 1707. Although it has not been possible to ascertain with certainty the date of every gore one is dated “Venice, 1688”, the date of the first edition, three have the text of the Isolario on the verso, dating them to 1696-97, and about 12 have watermarks of three crescent moons, which have been noted in copies of the Isolario. Individual Coronelli gores are very rare on the market. This set of 24 map gores has been assembled mostly from maps published in Libro Dei Globi with a few maps from the Isolario. This is an exceptional artefact, despite being assembled from at least two sources and will no doubt appeal to discerning collectors of cartography. Most have margins of around 20mm. from the edge of the printed area; a few are trimmed to the plate mark and two sections have had marginal additions. The paper patina overall is lightly age toned with little obvious remedial cleaning. Included in the lot is a bound facsimile copy of the folio Libro dei Globi, by Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Ltd, Amsterdam, 1969, with introduction and biographical note by Dr Helen Wallis, former curator at the British Library.

It also contains an account of the destruction of the Halicarnassus Mausoleum and the discovery of the sarcophagus of King Mausolus.

Note: Second Latin edition of the Works. Although generally based on the first Latin edition, prepared by Fabio Calvio and printed at Rome in 1525, this Basel edition is textually more complete. Hippocrates first established an empirical system of medicine based on a combination of bedside experience and a collation of the many individual data which then formed the bases of clinical teaching. The clinical descriptions of fevers, phthisis, puerperal convulsions, epilepsy and other disorders have remained classics and no such records were kept again for over a thousand years.

Apollinea, 1751. Folio, parallel text in Latin and Italian, two title pages in red and black with engraved vignettes, 2 folding engraved maps, modern quarter vellum, marbled boards, light water staining throughout Provenance: From the Library of the Late John Bernard Bury Note: Pirro Ligorio (c. 1512/1513 - 1583) was an Italian architect, painter, antiquarian, and garden designer during the Renaissance period. He worked as Papal Architect under Popes Paul IV and Pius IV, designed the gardens and fountains at Villa d’Este at Tivoli for Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este, which were greatly influenced by the nearby Villa Adriana which Ligorio had recorded, and served as the Ducal Antiquary in Ferrara. Ligorio emphasized and showed a deep passion for classical Roman antiquity.

Venice: appresso Giordano Ziletti, 1562. 8vo., printer’s device on the title page, 19th century blind stamped and ruled calf, arms stamped in blind on the upper cover, by Christie, title page a little dusty and with early repairs to the outer edges, lacking last two leaves (the first with a device on the verso, the second a blank) with the bookplates of John and Michael Bury Provenance: From the Library of the Late John Bernard Bury Note: USTC 841614. First published in 1542, this guidebook also contains Ulisse Androvandi’s Delle statue antiche. The arms on the upper cover are the Marital Arms of Sir George Granville Leveson-Gower, KG, the 1st Duke of Sutherland and Elizabeth Sutherland, the Countess of Sutherland. Sir George was the eldest son of Granville Leveson-Gower, the 1st Marquess of Stafford and his second wife, Lady Louisa Egerton, the daughter and eventual co-heiress of Scroop Egerton, the 1st Duke of Bridgwater, whilst Elizabeth was the second and surviving daughter of William Sutherland, the 18th Earl of Sutherland and his wife, Mary Maxwell, the daughter and co-heiress of William Maxwell, of Preston in the County of Kirkcudbrightshire. George was appointed a Knight of the Garter when the 2nd Marquess of Stafford on the 22nd March 1805. Given the date of George’s elevation within the peerage and his death we may presume that he commissioned the binding of this book (undoubtedly with others) sometime between January 1833, the month of his creation as the Duke of Sutherland and July 1833 the month of his death. It has not been not possible to identify the particular Christie from the Scottish Book Trade Index.

175 ANDERSON, SIR EDMUND (1530-1605, LORD CHIEF JUSTICE OF COMMON PLEAS UNDER ELIZABETH I) DOCUMENT SIGNED 10 x 23cm, mounted on an album leaf Note: Sir Edmund Anderson was one of the Commissioners for the Trial of Mary Queen of Scots in 1586. He sat in the Star Chamber of October 25th when sentence of death was pronounced on the Scottish Queen by Sir John Popham. The execution of Mary Queen of Scots weighed heavily on the conscience of Elizabeth I as in the Tudor philosophy of Kingship the Monarch was regarded as God’s personal anointed on Earth. Hence in the aftermath of Mary’s execution at Fotheringay Castle Elizabeth looked for scapegoats in order to remove the guilt from herself. She found the perfect candidate in William Davidson her Private Secretary who had conveyed the Execution Warrant to her Counsel. She had him arrested and it was Sir Edward Anderson who presided over his trial with a view to sentencing him to death. Davidson eventually escaped the gallows once Elizabeth’s guilt receded although he never returned to high office. A scarce Tudor signature.

Note: An extremely rare letter, written shortly before the Battle of Solway Moss, by the Cardinal whose brutal murder led to Religious warfare in the midSixteenth century. The battle took place at Solway Moss on the Anglo-Scottish border on 24th November 1542. When King Henry VIII of England broke away from the Roman Catholic Church, he asked King James V of Scotland, his nephew, to do the same. James rejected his uncle’s request and further insulted him by refusing to meet at York. As a result, King Henry VIII displayed his anger by sending troops against Scotland. In retaliation for the massive English raid into Scotland King James responded by assigning Robert, Lord Maxwell, with the task of raising an army and on 24th November 1542 an army of 15,000 - 18,000 Scots advanced into England and were met near Solway Moss by Thomas Wharton and his 3000 men. The ensuing battle was uncoordinated and has been described as a rout. Alessandro Farnese (1520-1589), Italian Cardinal and Diplomat. Letters signed by Cardinal Beaton are extremely rare. American Book Prices Current have no records of any autograph material by Beaton appearing at auction.

Note: The Earl of Leicester returned home from the Netherlands on 4th December 1587 having suffered ill health through the summer. Once home he took part in the great debates over intelligence of the Spanish preparations for the Armada which he was convinced was coming. These being presumably the “bruites qui courent de quelques grands preparatifs” referred to in this letter. The recipients were members of the one of the noblest of Flemish families. Lamoral Count of Egmont (1522-68) had married Sabine de Baviere (1528-78) who bore him 13 children. He is one of the great heroes of the Dutch struggle against Spain and the introduction of the Spanish Inquisition into the Netherlands. He nevertheless remained a staunch catholic and remained loyal to Philip. He was found guilty of treason and beheaded on 4th June 1568. This event is usually taken as marking the beginning of the revolt by the Dutch against Spanish rule.

196 EDWARD VI, (1537-1553, KING OF ENGLAND) DOCUMENT DATED JULY 3RD 1549 BEING A LICENSE TO RALPH SADLIER KNIGHT, to sublet to Thomas Fyncher and Richard Fyncher the Manor of Shelve alias Shelbe formerly belonging to the collegiate church and college of Westbury [on Trym] in the County of Gloucester, now dissolved. Written in Latin on a single oblong folio leaf of vellum with calligraphic introduction, one small hole in fold to left hand edge, not affecting text, slight dusting, but otherwise in fine condition, 21 x 34cms. Note: Exceptionally rare document of Edward VI. An historic document involving the Tudor Boy King, son and heir of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour and one of the most glamorous and important figures of the mid Tudor period. The document also lists a number of closes and pastures by name as well as the watermill at Shelve, making this an important primary local historical source. The area covered by this document is the modern day Shelsey Walsh area which lies in the Teme Valley to the West of the City of Worcester and east of Tenbury Wells. Documents of Edward VI are of the greatest rarity due to his very short reign. He was just nine when he succeeded his father Henry VIII and died at the age of 15. Sir Ralph Sadlier [or Sadler] (1507-87) was a most important diplomatist closely involved in the relationships with Scotland and the intrigues and plots by the Spanish and French to attack England via Scotland in order to bring about a Catholic supremacy. He was a protégé of Thomas Cromwell, was Gentleman of the Bedchamber to Henry VIII and one of the Council of Twelve, which effectively governed the country on the accession of Edward VI. At the Battle of Pinkie Clough in 1547 he was made a Knight Banneret on the field for his gallantry in rallying the English cavalry after their repulse by the Scottish. He was granted the Manor of Shelbe as a reward for this action. In later life he was one of the three Commissioners sent to York to enquire into the matter of Mary Queen of Scots and the infamous ‘Casket Letters’ which incriminated her. It was Sadlier who sent a précis of the letters to Lord Burghleigh. Eventually he became gaoler to Mary Queen of Scots at Wingfield, and his last employment on matters of state was a mission to James VI of Scotland (later James I of England) to reconcile him to the execution of his mother.

Until the edict against the clan was repealed in 1774 it was illegal to be a MacGregor, or to protect or support the cause of those who held onto the name. The persecution of the Clan Gregor was so severe that it was even forbidden to communicate with clan members.

237 ROB ROY MACGREGOR (1671 - 1734), SCOTTISH OUTLAW AND FOLK HERO. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED “RO. ROY” TO BAILLIE BUCHANAN, chamberlain to the curators of Buchanan of Arnprior, 22 May 1718 . The letter is signed “Rob Roy “, an exceptionally rare form for him to use as virtually all Rob Roy’s known letters and contracts bear his formal signature “Ro: Campbell. The letter is approximately 15.5 x 9 cms and has been folded once. The letter has been backed at some stage and docketed as “Letter from Rob Roy to Baillie Buchanan.” The text of the letter is as follows: Dear Sir There is one Patrick Cotter that ingag- / ed himself tennent with me for the / fourth pairt of Corriecheirrich in / febry. last and I am informed now / that he is Ingaged tennent in Airdcheil / Rynaerugie so that I hope yow being / Chamberland to Arnprier and a man / that I trust very much unto I hop youl / doe me the favour as [to] send your / officer to him and [put?] him out of / your bounds for I have no will that / there

The writer wishes the recipient to send his officer to put the cotter out of bounds of Arnprior’s lands, and adds, a little threateningly, that “I have no will that there should be anything that should be a groudge between us.” The cotter never told Rob Roy that he had changed his resolution. If the recipient refuses to deal with the matter, Rob Roy is prepared to write to any of the curators, but does not wish to be put to this trouble. An answer is to be sent to Donald McIntyre in Innerchernach who will transmit it to the writer. The writer observes that this is what should be done between neighbours, especially when one of them, in this case Bailie Buchnanan, is in a position of trust. It is rather unexpected to find a brigand, even if a semi retired one, complaining of anything as petty as the unexpected removal of a cotter. Rob Roy’s past conduct leads one to assume that he would have taken a more direct method of dealing with the man. Possibly this was a particularly useful tenant, or, more likely, one as well known as Rob Roy, preferred not to be defied so publicly? On the whole, one’s sympathies are with the cotter. It is even possible that the young laird of Arnprior might have been less likely to proceed to extremes. With Rob Roy as landlord, a tenant might all too easily find himself involved in the theft of cattle or even removed to prison accused of consorting with broken and landless men as the Macgregors had been for generations. It is possible that this letter is part of a much larger struggle between four great powers - the Dukes of Atholl, Montrose and Argyll and the Earl of Breadalbane. The last two as Campbells should have hung together, but they seldom did. Argyll’s family had been whig for generations whereas a lifetime of sitting on any available fence had made Breadalbane’s position less clear until his final declaration of support for the Jacobite cause in the ‘15, and even here the evidence is slight, probably due to a frenzied clear out of incriminating papers by his son, the second earl, who succeeded his father in 1717. John, 1st Earl of Breadalbane, who died, aged 81, in 1717 after a long illness, was mostly, as far as anyone so slippery could be accurately claimed as a supporter, on Rob Roy’s side in his perpetual difficulties with Atholl and Montrose, one or other, or sometimes both, the inadvertent suppliers of cattle and hence, subsistence, to the Clan Gregor. Both the latter Dukes had failed to capture, or at least to capture and retain, Rob Roy, and it is generally agreed, they had both treated him very unfairly, making him landless, homeless and bankrupt. The lands of Corriecheirrich belonged to Breadalbane, lying in the parish of Kenmore, and the lordship of Disher and Toyer, were presumably included in the tack given by Breadalbane to Rob Roy of the lands of Auchinsicallan in Glen Dochart in 1713. Deprived of a protector by the death of Breadalbane [ the second Earl being firmly Hanoverian, disliked him strongly and said so], and having his house there burned down in April 1716, Rob Roy returned to Inversnaid, where his house at

71

Lot 237 Craigrosten was also burned down in September 1716, six months later. Thereafter, he retired to a house in Glen Shira, on the Argyll lands, and appears to have remained there unmolested in spite of being forfeited for his part in the Jacobite rebellion. However, he was still writing from Auchinsicallan in April 1719 explaining that money difficulties prevented him from supplying the desired cattle. Relations with Montrose and Argyll remained uncertain, the former being among the creditors who claimed debts totalling over £1,000 stg. due [they said] when Rob Roy was forfeited in 1720, and he may have been seriously annoyed at the defection of a tenant from Breadalbane’s Corriecheirich to Montrose’s Rynarugie. Nothing is known of this particular cottar: Patrick is an Ayrshire surname, associated with Kilwinning, and while it was a common forename in Breadalbane, it has not been found among the tenants there. It is just possible that Rob Roy was referring to the man by his Christian name, assuming that the place would identify him in the mind of Bailie Buchnanan. By 1725, the lands of Corriecheirich were let to Patrick McVean, and three years later he was being prosecuted by the bailie of Disher and Toyer for cutting an ash tree and some alder for chairs. If Rob Roy was successful in his efforts to have the cotter removed from Arnprior’s lands, perhaps this may be the same family. Most of Rob Roy’s surviving letters and contracts are signed “Ro: Campbell.” After all, when you are a proscribed Macgregor on the lands of a Campbell, it makes sense to adopt this style, especially when the Campbell in question is John, 1st Earl of Breadalbane. All the letters from Rob Roy in the Breadalbane collection in the National Archives of Scotland are signed thus. When other letters in the National Archives refer to him in the third person they generally talk of “Rob Roy” or “the villain Rob”, or in similar denigratory terms. Bonds registered in the Register of Deeds describe him as “Rob Roy Campbell of Inversnaid” or “Rob Roy Campbell in Glengyle”, but he also signs them simply as “Ro: Campbell”. There is some evidence that Rob Roy signed himself thus when there was no need to adopt a Campbell cover or claim kinship with the recipient. What is clear is that surviving letters signed “Rob “Roy” are extremely rare. We should like to thank Dr. BLH Horn, formerly of the National Archives of Scotland, for examining the letter and for her valuable assistance with preparing this catalogue entry.

London: Stephen Couchman for W. Curtis, 1793-1801 [but plates actually dated 1786-1801]. First edition, first issue, volumes 1-15, 8vo, 567 finely hand-coloured engraved plates, and 1 plain plate, contemporary mottled calf, gilt line border round sides, gilt tooled spines, double black lettering labels, sprinkled edges, armorial bookplates of Ralph Riddell Note: The Botanical Magazine is “the oldest current scientific periodical of its kind with coloured illustrations in the world... in the beauty of production and high standard of its contributions it can claim a unique place” (Patrick Synge. Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society (1948), p.73) Sydenham Edwards did most of the original drawings, engraved by Sansom, for the early volumes of the magazine. All of the illustrations were drawn from the living plant and “coloured as near to nature, as the imperfections of colouring will admit.” Dunthorne calls the Curtis “a delightful work pictorially, never excelled as a periodical, most carefully coloured and a source of lasting interest and information.” (p.190). The colouring of the plates in this set of the highest quality. The colourist took enormous pains to highlight each flower with subtle shades of colour rather than allow the engraving to designate tone and depth. Though the title-pages date from 1793-1801, the plates are dated from March 1786. According to Stafleu the first edition is determined by the date of the plates: “The plates in the early volumes are dated. These dates can usually be accepted as the dates of publication.” (Stafleu. Taxonomic Literature, p.92-93. Hunt 689; Nissen BBI 2350; Dunthorne 99; Henry III, 472; Sitwell. Great Flower Books, 83-84; Blung 184-189) A very clean finely bound set.

HORSBURGH, JAMES A COLLECTION OF WATERCOLOURS SHOWING SCOTTISH SCENERY AND LIFE 98 mounted sketches, mostly watercolour but some pen and ink, showing scenery around Sutherland and Killiecrankie, with several showing interior scenes of crofts, and 4 mounted albumen photographs showing Highland estate workers, c.1850 Note: This extensive collection of drawings appears to record the journey of a James Horsburgh Esq. around the Highlands of Scotland in the mid-19th century. One sketch is signed ‘J. Horsburgh’, whilst another depicts a selfcaricature of the artist falling in a river whilst fishing. The caption reads: “James Horsburgh Esq. as he appeared in the River Naver, salmon fishing!!” All the drawings are captioned - some rather amusingly (“Mode of carrying my carpet bag in Sutherland and a very bonny lassie too!”) Whilst many of the illustrations show idyllic Highland scenes and castles, several are exceptional in that they depict the interiors of Highland cottages at the time. An illustration entitled “Thos. Og’s Cottage, Torrisdale, Sutherland” depicts a family and beasts, sitting around a central cooking pot inside a cottage, whilst a figure looks across the room from a box bed. Another depicts the interior of a shepherd’s cottage, where it appears Horsburgh spent the night in the company of a crying baby and the family pig helping itself to the contents of a cooking pot!

In the 19th century, the works captured tourists’ imaginations, and were produced as souvenirs.

London: HMSO, 1954. Spiral-bound oblong 4to with 8 photographic plates from the occasion; Uganda Electricity Board Owen Falls, opening by Her Majesty The Queen, 29th April 1954. 4to, being a programme for the opening, original wrappers Note: Today known as the Nalubaale Hydroelectric Power Station, the Owen Falls Dam and Hydroelectric Scheme was constructed between 1947 and 1954, and officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 29th April 1954. The complex was built following the recommendation of engineer, Charles Redvers Westlake, however the location had been considered significant since John Hanning Speke suggested that Ripon Falls, at the Northern end of Lake Victoria, was the source of the Nile. The construction of the dam effectively extended Lake Victoria and submerged the hitherto famous Ripon Falls. Gibb’s photographs show the construction of the dam, including aerial shots, alongside images of the Queen speaking at her lectern, the Queen and Prince Philip walking past dignitaries and giving speeches. Provenance: From the records of Sir Alexander Gibb and Partners

In 1781, Beckford published the first edition of the work, emitting his name from the title-page, however the second and third editions of the work did carry Beckford’s name. Despite this, the book was never officially registered with Stationer’s Hall, and the publishers seemingly took advantage of this oversight to publish this 1796 unauthorised copy of the work without the author’s knowledge. The judge ruled in Beckford’s favour, and Vernor & Hood were required to destroy their copies of the work. The copy for sale seemingly avoided this fate.

The whole court participated in the festival, with the dancers played by the cream of the Russian and German aristocracy and the role of Lalla Rûkh played by Crown Princess Alexandra. The occasion was so enjoyable that it was repeated on the 11th February. The programme and decorations were by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, and the music by Gaspare Spontini, who later transformed it into a full-length opera. The costumes were designed by August von Klöber, who drew the folding plate for this book. A French edition of the work was published by Wittich in the same year. Lipperheide Sbb 25 (lacking two plates) and Sbb 26 (French edition); Vinet 777 (with 4 additional plates).

Conditions of Sale CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR BUYERS (UK) The Auctioneer carries on business with bidders, Buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to, or in connection with, a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein. 1. DEFINITIONS In these Conditions of Sale (Buyers): “Auctioneer” means Lyon and Turnbull Ltd (Registered in Scotland No: 191166 | Registered address: 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3RR) or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; “Hammer price” means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the Auctioneer brings down the hammer; “High Cumulative Value of Lot” means several lots with a total lower estimate value of £30,000 or above; “High Value Lot” means a lot with a lower estimate of £30,000 or above; “Lot” means each Item offered for sale by Lyon and Turnbull; “Purchase Price” is the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium; “Reserve” means the lowest price below which an item cannot be sold; “Total amount due” means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax or other taxes chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting Buyer under these Conditions; “You”, “Your” means the Buyer; “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon and Turnbull Ltd, The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. 2. AGENCY We act as agent solely for and in the interests of the Seller. We do not act for Buyers in this role and do not give advice to Buyers. When we make a statement about a lot it is doing so on behalf of the Seller of the lot. The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers. 3. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security and credit references or arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid. We reserve the right to ask buyers for identification to prevent fraud, underage purchases and/or any other legal or legitimate purpose. (b) High Value Lots and High Cumulative Value of Lots: If you wish to bid on any High Value Lot (a lot with a lower estimate of £30,000 or above) or if you are bidding on several lots with a total lower estimate value of £30,000 or above, you are invited to complete the High Value Lot pre-registration. After you have successfully registered as a bidder with us, you should complete the High

Value Lot pre-registration before the date of sale by contacting the Office Manager or on the date of sale at the registration area. Unless otherwise agreed by us, you will be permitted to bid for High Value Lots only if we have confirmed your payment of deposit and your completion of the High Value Lot pre-registration before the sale. The Deposit required will be 10% of the lower estimate. Upon pre-registration, you should pay the deposit or such other sum as determined by us dependant on circumstances, by way of bank transfer or credit card(s) acceptable to us. Please note that we do not accept payment from third parties and this also applies to agents. If you are not successful in any bid and do not owe us any debt, the deposit will be refunded to you by way of wire transfer or such other methods as determined by us. Please make sure that you provide your bank details in the pre-registration form. The exchange rate provided to us by the bank on the date of exchange is final. We will arrange to refund the deposit to you within seven days after the date of sale, however we do not guarantee when you will receive the payment due to the variance in time for banks to process fund transfers. Upon successful pre-registration, you will be given a numbered High Value Lot paddle for identification purposes. The auctioneer will usually only accept bids made with the High Value Lot paddle or by its High Value Lot registered bidder. This applies to saleroom, telephone and absentee bids. We have the right to change the High Value Lot pre-registration procedures and requirements from time to time without notice. (c) The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion. (d) Our right to bid on behalf of Sellers is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve. (e) The right to refuse any bid is also reserved. (f) Commission Bids: While prospective Buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall, if so instructed, clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor our employees nor agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. (g) Telephone Bids: If a prospective Buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts

to contact them to enable them to participate in bidding by telephone. We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (h) Online Bidding: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet or software malfunctions related to execution of online bids/ live bidding. 4. INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion. 5. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the hammer price of each lot up to and including £100,000, plus 20% from £100,001 thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction. Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 6. RESERVES Unless indicated by a insert symbol (∆ ), all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential hammer price established between us and the seller. The reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low estimate for the lot. 7. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant lots. (1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (3) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwith the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 8. DROIT de SUITE This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on

1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium . It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk. 9. PAYMENT (1) Within 7 days of a lot being sold you will: (a) Pay to us the total amount due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. (b) Please note that we do not accept cash payments over £5,000. (2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing by you to us howsoever incurred and without agreement by you or your agent, whether express or implied. 10. TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due. (2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 7 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment whichever is later. We can provide you with a list of shippers. However, we will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main sale room and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time. (5) Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character, e.g. items that may contain prohibited materials such as ivory or rhino horn. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in


making full payment for the lot. 11. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (1) If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the Sellers and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the contract for sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs). (d) to remove, store and insure the lot in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere and to recover from you all costs incurred in respect thereof; (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month above the current base rate on all sums outstanding for more than 7 working days after the sale; (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due; (g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other lots due or which become due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due by you and to exercise a lien over any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied. 12. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that

photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the lot. (2) Condition reports: Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our condition report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The condition reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred. (5) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (6) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item. (7) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, you affirm that you are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for

natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given. (8) Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms, etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 13. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of lots sold for less than £300. (2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/ newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. 14. CITES Please be aware that all lots marked with the symbol Y may be subject to CITES regulations when exporting these items outside the EU. These regulations may be found at http: // www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/importsexports/cites We accept no liability for any lots which may be subject to CITES but have not be identified as such.

15. SALE BY PRIVATE TREATY (a) The same Conditions of Sale (Buyers) shall apply to sales by private treaty. (b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction and subject to our agreed charges for Sellers and Buyers. (c) We undertake to inform the Seller of any offers it receives in relation to an item prior to any Proposed Sale, excluding the normal method of commission bids. (d) For the purposes of a private treaty sale, if a lot is sold in any other currency than Sterling, the exchange rate is to be taken on the date of sale. 16. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation, safety and security arrangements. Accordingly, neither the Auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to, during or after a sale. 17. GENERAL (a) We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. (b) Any notice to any Buyer, Seller, bidder or viewer may be given by email if not available then first class mail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. (c) Notices to us should be in writing and addressed to the Managing Director at 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh EH1 3RR, quoting the reference number specified at the beginning of the sale catalogue. (d) Should any provision of these Conditions of Sale be held unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. (e) These Conditions of Sale are not assignable by either party without the other’s prior written consent. No act, omission or delay by us shall be deemed a waiver or release of any of its rights. (f) The contract between the parties may be varied by the parties by agreement and in writing. 18. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE We guarantee that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each lot in this catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the catalogue description of the lot, as amended by oral or written saleroom notes or announcements. We make no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below. In the event Lyon and Turnbull in its reasonable opinion deems that


the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the lot the hammer price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the lot by the original purchaser. This Guarantee does not apply if: (i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (ii) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the lot; or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading. This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Authenticity Guarantee, the original purchaser of the lot must: (i) notify us in writing within one month of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to dispute the accuracy of the Bold or Capitalised type heading, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons for such dispute; and (ii) return the Lot to our registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale. We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the lot. We shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the lot, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid (the successful hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. Lyon and Turnbull and the Seller shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation,

loss of profits or interest. 19. DATA PROTECTION In connection with the management and operation of our business and the marketing and supply of our services, or as required by law, we may ask the Buyer to provide personal information about themselves or obtain information about the Buyer from third parties (e.g. credit information). We will not give out personal information except as may be required by law. If you would like further information on our policies on personal data, or to make corrections to your information, please contact us on 0131 557 8844. 20. FORCE MAJEURE We shall be under no liability if they shall be unable to carry out any provision of the Contract of Sale for any reason beyond their control including (without limiting the foregoing) an act of God, legislation, war, fire, flood, drought, failure of power supply, lock-out, strike or other action taken by employees in contemplation or furtherance of a dispute or owing to any inability to procure materials required for the performance of the contract. 21. LAW AND JURISDICTION (a) Governing Law: These Conditions of Sale and all aspects of all matters, transactions or disputes to which they relate or apply shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, Scots law (b) Jurisdiction: The Buyer agrees that the Courts of Scotland are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle all disputes arising in connection with all aspects of all matters or transactions to which these Conditions of Sale relate or apply.

they may be disposed of as we see fit, which may involve their sale by public auction on such terms as we consider appropriate, including those relating to estimates and reserved, we shall account to you for the proceeds of sale, deducting all amounts due to us. (2) Aftersales: We reserve the right to accept an after-auction offer on a lot on behalf of the seller, at the agreed reserve price or above, for up to 48 hours after the original auction. In which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these Conditions apply. 9. LOT WITHDRAWAL If a Seller wishes to withdraw a lot organised for sale, a withdrawal fee will apply; (a) if withdrawn over 28 working days prior to the sale, this will be charged at 10% of the mid estimate along with any ancillary charges incurred (such as photography), all subject to VAT at the current rate. (b) if withdrawn within 28 working days of the sale, this will be charged at 20% of the mid estimate along with any ancillary charges incurred (such as photography), all subject to VAT at the current rate. (c) We may withdraw a lot from the proposed sale without any liability if: (i) We reasonably believes that there is any doubt as to the lot’s authenticity, attribution, or provenance; or (ii) it reasonably doubts the accuracy of any of the Seller’s warranties; or (iii) the Seller breaches any provisions of the Conditions of Sale in any material respect; or (iv) the lot suffers from loss or damage so that it is not in the state in which it was when we took delivery of it. (d) if an item is withdrawn from sale under Condition 9(c) (i), or (iv), the Seller shall not be charged a withdrawal fee and the item shall be returned to the Seller or dealt with pursuant to Clause 8, as the Seller decides. 10. AUTHORITY TO DEDUCT COMMISSION AND EXPENSES AND RETAIN PREMIUM AND INTEREST The Seller authorises us to deduct commission at the stated rate, and all expenses incurred for your account from the hammer price, and consents to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the Buyer in accordance with these Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement. 11. NON-PAYMENT BY THE BUYER (a) We will, where it considers appropriate, take reasonable steps to investigate the ability of bidders to pay for lots and will use reasonable endeavours, in consultation with the Seller, to enforce payment of the Hammer Price by any Buyer. (b) We, in consultation with the Seller, will decide whether to pursue any of

the remedies available to it, including those set out in Condition 10 of the Condition of Sale (Buyers) including the right to cancel the sale and return the property to the Seller. We will inform the Seller of any action which it contemplates taking against the Buyer. (c) lf the Seller elects to take action against any Buyer on its own behalf we will provide the Seller with such assistance as may be reasonably necessary to pursue that action. (d) The Seller hereby agrees to inform us of any action which it chooses to take against the Buyer to enforce payment of the amount due to the Seller. (e) In the event that a Buyer fails to pay for a lot in accordance with the Conditions of Sale for Buyers, that lot will be treated in the same way as an unsold or collected lot. 12. SETTLEMENT PAYMENTS Subject to full payment by the Buyer, payment of the net proceeds of sale due to you will be made over to you 28 working days following a sale. Provided we have received cleared funds. Payment will be made by cheque or BACS (if requested). 13. SALE BY PRIVATE TREATY (a) The same Conditions of Sale (Sellers) shall apply to sales by private treaty. (b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction and subject to our agreed charges for Sellers and Buyers. (c) We undertake to inform the Seller of any offers it receives in relation to an item prior to any Proposed Sale, excluding the normal method of commission bids. (d) For the purposes of a private treaty sale, if a lot is sold in any other currency than Sterling, the exchange rate is to be taken on the date of sale. 14. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security arrangements. Accordingly, neither the Auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to, during or after a sale. 15. GENERAL (a) We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

No act, omission or delay by us shall be deemed a waiver or release of any of its rights. (f) The contract between the parties may be varied by the parties by agreement and in writing. 16. RECISSION OF SALES We may rescind the sale where it reasonably believes that the lot falls within the terms as defined by our Authenticity Guarantee (see Buyer’s conditions), in this event we shall send the Seller notice of such rescission. The Seller agrees to return to us the Net Sale Proceeds received from the sale of such lot with any additional expenses incurred by us. We will return the property to the Seller upon receipt of the Net Sale Proceeds and Expenses, unless prevented in doing so by reasons outwith our control. The Buyer must satisfy us that the Buyer is entitled to exercise a remedy under the authenticity guarantee within five years of the date of the auction. 17.

When we make a statement about a lot it is doing so on behalf of the Seller of the lot. The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers. 18.
