Rare Books Art+Object presents a special Rare Books catalogue, which features many important and rare items pertaining to New Zealand and Māori history from several collections of significance. This auction began with the consignment of the sporting library of Ray Saunders. For many years, Ray collected books and ephemera on cricket, rugby, golf, angling, and other sports. The collection reflects his lifelong passion for sport, together with his extensive knowledge of the sporting world and its personalities. Included are collections of works by Conan Doyle, P. G. Wodehouse, and Zane Grey. Ray Saunders was well-known and respected for his subject knowledge and we are delighted to present this collection for sale – an opportunity for fellow collectors to enjoy these items as much as Ray did.

Online Auction closing on Tuesday 20 October from 6.00pm at live.artandobject.co.nz

Please refer to point 7 of the Conditions of Sale in the catalogue for a detailed description of payment terms.

BIDDING: The highest bidder will be the purchaser subject to the auctioneer accepting the winning bid and any vendor’s reserve having been reached. The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid.

The auctioneer retains the right to bid on behalf of the vendor up to the reserve figure.

10. BIDDERS OBLIGATIONS: The act of bidding means all bidders acknowledge that they are personally responsible for payment if they are the successful bidder.

Notwithstanding this neither the vendor nor Art+Object accepts any liability for errors of description or faults and imperfections whether described in writing or verbally. This applies to questions of authenticity and quality of the item. Buyers are deemed to have inspected the item thoroughly and proceed on their own judgment. The act of bidding is agreed by the buyer to be an indication that they are satisfied on all counts regarding condition and authenticity.

any advice to the purchaser exercise its right to: a) rescind or stop the sale, b) re offer the lot for sale to an underbidder or at auction.

COLLECTION OF GOODS: Purchased items are to be removed from Art+Object premises immediately after payment or clearance of cheques. Absentee bidders must make provision for the uplifting of purchased items (see instructions on the facing page).

The following information does not form part of the conditions of sale, however buyers, particularly first time bidders are recommended to read these notes. A. Bidding at auction: Please ensure your instructions to the auctioneer are clear and easily understood. It is well to understand that during a busy sale with multiple bidders the auctioneer may not be able to see all bids at all times. It is recommended that you raise your bidding number clearly and without hesitation. If your bid is made in error or you have misunderstood the bidding level please advise the auctioneer immediately of your error – prior to the hammer falling. Please note that if you have made a bid and the hammer has fallen and you are the highest bidder you have entered a binding contract to

purchase an item at the bid price. New bidders in particular are advised to make themselves known to the sale auctioneer who will assist you with any questions about the conduct of the auction. B. ABSENTEE BIDDING: Art+Object welcomes absentee bids once the necessary authority has been completed and lodged with Art+Object. A+O will do all it can to ensure bids are lodged on your behalf but accepts no liability for failure to carry out these bids. See the Absentee bidding form in this catalogue for information on lodging absentee bids. These are accepted up to 2 hours prior to the published auction commencement. C. TELEPHONE BIDS: The same conditions apply to telephone bids. It is highly preferable to bid over a landline as the vagaries of cellphone connections may result in disappointment. You will be telephoned prior to your indicated lot arising in the catalogue order. If the phone is engaged or connection impossible the sale will proceed without your bidding. At times during an auction the bidding can be frenetic so you need to be sure you give clear instructions to the person executing your bids. The auctioneer will endeavour to cater to the requirements of phone bidders but cannot wait for a phone bid so your prompt participation is requested. D. NEW ZEALAND DOLLARS: All estimates in this catalogue are in New Zealand dollars. The amount to be paid by successful bidders on the payment date is the New Zealand dollar amount stated on the purchaser invoice. Exchange rate variations are at the risk of the purchaser.

DIARY OF VERDUN JOHN SCOTT World War II, Rugby, Cricket Service Number 46715, DVR. V.J. Scott. Soft covered notebook with his details on first page. The daily diary commences on Monday, Nov 13th, tracking his WW. II. deployment to Egypt and Italy. Handwritten entries continue until March 28th, 1944, recording daily activities at Maadi Camp, Egypt, highlighting his deep involvement in the camp’s legendary military sports matches. Entries pause and resume on Friday, Jan 11th [1945]. Outside of the war period, entries consist of short, one-and-two-line descriptions of his daily routines and sports practices. Following his return, Scott featured in the North Shore Albions side that captured the Auckland Rugby League’s Roope Rooster and Stormont Shield in 1945. Jan 13th – ‘played cricket for "D" team against H.M.S. Barfleur and we won easily 243–61. Made 100 very lucky…’ This match took place exactly one week before a major first-class match for Auckland, and just two months

EPHEMERA

before Scott’s debut in the historic first-ever Test match between New Zealand and Australia. Fri 29th & Sat 30th March [1947]: Following the infamous Test collapse against the M.C.C. in Christchurch, he writes: ‘started our game, fiasco we only made 42, talked. Game all over, collapsed again ‘old Acquaintances’ terrible’. The Cricket Test match against the M.C.C. in Christchurch had just finished on Saturday, 29 March [1947]. By Monday, Scott was already shifting his focus to the upcoming winter season in Auckland. Football – practice daily. On ‘Thurs 24th Feb [1949] – Leave for Wellington on 7.15pm Limited’, the beginning of the 1949 tour of England. There is a gap in the diary here until he returns to New Zealand on 5th November when it recommences. He remains the only New Zealander to represent the country at the highest level in both cricket and rugby league—touring with the 1939 Kiwis Rugby League squad to England and playing 10 cricket Test matches for New Zealand between 1946 and 1952. Verdun Scott passed away suddenly in Devonport on August 2, 1980. He remains a unique figure in New Zealand sporting history. $600 – $800
