Born in Shanyin, Zhejiang province, Liu Shiru devoted himself to painting ink plum from childhood, and his younger contemporary Wang Siren (1576-1646) noted that during Liu Shiru’s lifetime that spanned nine decades, he painted ink plum for eight. The present composition, painted in his last year, is a testament to Wang Siren’s statement. Liu Shiru’s aesthetic approach is memorialized in his woodblock-printed illustrated painting volume Xuehu Meipu (Snow-Lake’s Plum Manual), which includes reproductions of his own compositions, in addition to testimonials by those in his artistic circle.

Xingle tu (paintings pleasure scenes) represents a distinctive genre within xiezhen (realistic) portraiture, in which figures are depicted within quotidian or idealized settings that project cultivated identity and refined taste. Such compositions emphasize the literati ideal of maintaining a spirit inclined toward nature and leisure despite the constraints of official life. This pictorial tradition gained popularity among imperial and scholarly circles during the Ming and Qing dynasties and reached particular refinement under the Yongzheng (r. 1722-1735) and Qianlong (r. 1735-1796) emperors, exemplified by imperial “disguised pleasure” album such as the Yinzhen Xingle Tu (Yongzheng Emperor’s Amusement) album in the Palace Museum, Beijing.
The present album was originally more extensive, though several leaves are now separated or lost. The five surviving pages portray pursuits of the same Manchu nobleman. One scene depicts an early spring excursion with his attendants. Another shows him playing yezi xi leaf cards with his sons. A further leaf presents the rare theme of sword appreciation. The green-dyed sharkskin scabbard with finely chased gilt mounts corresponds to materials favored in the Qianlong period, also frequently depicted in Ziguangge Gongchen Xiang (Portraits of Meritorious Officers from the Hall of Purple Splendor), underscoring the work’s strong period character. An autumn hunting scene follows, with the nobleman riding a white horse attended by eleven retainers bearing falcons and firearms. The final leaf depicts the sitter at leisure within a garden courtyard, admiring blossoms from different seasons. Though only five leaves survive, the album vividly conveys the subject’s cultivated refinement alongside martial accomplishment, revealing both literary elegance and aristocratic vitality.
「行樂圖」是「寫真」肖像畫中別具意趣的一門,置人物于生活化或 理想化的造景之中,以凸顯畫中主人公雖身處樊籠、心向林泉的文人 意趣。此類圖式於明清時期風行於皇室與文士階層,至雍正、乾隆年 間更發展出別開生面的帝王變裝行樂冊,如北京故宮所藏《胤禛行樂 圖冊》等。 本拍品原冊當有數頁散佚,現存五頁分繪同一滿洲貴胄之四時樂事。 雖僅五幅殘頁,然其文韜武略、涵養胸襟,於筆墨間躍然紙上。其一 繪初春楊柳曉發時,主人攜侍從四人驅車郊野,踏青訪勝;其二畫主 人與四子圍坐書亭內玩葉子戲,亭中陳設一展其深諳漢人士大夫「琴 棋書畫」四藝之趣,青銅香鼎、朗窯花樽、宣德銅爐錯落其間,足供 清賞;其三為人物故事圖中罕見題材賞劍圖,侍童三人各呈一劍,主 人拔劍細審,劍鞘以染綠鯊魚皮為之,鎏金鏨花,工致非凡。此類材 質之劍鞘尤盛於乾隆朝御製腰刀,除傳世實物可證外,在《紫光閣功 臣圖》中亦屢見描繪,足見其時代特徵鮮明;其四則為秋景狩獵,主 人身著行服、乘白馬前行,身後從者十一人,或擎獵隼,或荷獵槍; 其五則繪閑坐庭院花草間,賞四季花卉,春之水仙、夏之菡萏、秋之 蜀葵、海棠等,共聚一園。

大英圖書館藏《皇朝禮器圖式》清内府彩繪本冊頁,頁十一之「皇子 福晉綵帨圖」,所用「月白色」與本拍品中綵帨一致,綵帨用此色者 尚有親王、世子及郡王之福晉、固倫公主、和碩公主、郡主及縣主。
Although the specific identity of this sitter cannot be pinpointed, there are several revealing details that indicate she was an individual of high status within the Qing imperial lineage. Adorned with the full court dress and jewelry of a titled lady, she is dressed in her winter robes, with the shoulder cape, collar, cuffs, and hem trimmed with sea otter fur, likely imported from North America. Her hat is further adorned with a gold filigreed finial decorated with a single Manchurian pearl, reinforcing her status as either a princess or consort. The three earrings that hang from each ear denote her being a bannerwoman, and her whitened face and dot of red on the lower lip are typical of the make-up trends of elite women within the court during the 19th century. Around her neck is a torque (lingyue), inlaid with lapis and Manchurian pearls, an accessory of ranked Manchu women. This torque has seven visible pearls of a presumptive nine, less than the eleven that would have been worn by a full empress. Upon her lavishly painted robe is the required three stranded court necklace, crossing at center front, presumably fashioned of coral, stone or glass beads. The long sky blue kerchief (caishui)--here with a motif of millet--was an essential part of formal court regalia as dictated by the Huangchao liqi tushi first written in 1759, and another aspect of her clothing that points to the sitter’s position within the inner circles of the palace.
雖畫中女子身分未明,但僅從描繪的細節便知其地位顯赫。女子著冬 朝服正襟危坐,朝褂「色用石青,片金緣」,綉文前為正龍,下為立 龍二,間以五色雲,下幅八寳平水。「朝袍用香色,披領及袖皆石 青,片金緣,冬加海龍緣,肩上下襲朝褂處亦加緣」,綉文兩肩行龍 各一,「下幅八寳平水」。朝袍「披領行龍二,袖端正龍各一,袖相 接處行龍各二。」華服之外,佩「朝服朝珠三盘,蜜珀一,珊瑚二」 。亦佩「綵帨月白色」,綉文為谷紋。「冬朝冠,薰貂為之,上綴朱 緯,頂鏤花金座」,中飾東珠,上銜紅寶石。一耳戴三鉗,昭示其旗 人血統。面龐敷白、下唇點朱,則是十九世紀滿清貴婦典型的妝容時 尚。頸間懸綴有青金石與東珠的領約,「鏤金為之,東珠七」,較皇 后朝服所用之十一為少。

Although a family connection between the two has yet to be discovered, Chen Douwen adopted the earlier calligrapher’s aesthetic approach and bold, expressive style.

This painting bears a dedication to Feng Zhizheng (C.T. Feng, 18992000), a high-ranking diplomat with the Republic period government, and his wife, Edith Kwok Feng (1898-1997). C.T. Feng held the position of Chinese Consul General in Calcutta, India, and during World War II, he served the same role in San Francisco. This painting was created on New Year’s in 1940 (likely in San Francisco) when Zhang Shanzi was on his 1939-1940 tour throughout North America to fundraise for war relief amidst the difficult years of the second Sino-Japanese War. In 1945, C. T. Feng was appointed Ambassador to Mexico, and lot 541, Zhang Shuqi’s Bird and Flower, marks the occasion of this appointment in the artist’s inscription. C.T. Feng was from a distinguished line of scholars, with his seventh-generation ancestor Feng Chengxiu serving as a tutor to the Qianlong Emperor, who traveled on one of the emperor’s illustrious Southern Inspection Tours. 本幅上款題贈馮執正(C.T. Feng, 1899-2000)及其夫人郭曜儀 (Edith Kwok Feng, 1898-1997),馮氏為民國時期資深外交官,曾 任中華民國駐印度加爾各答總領事,第二次世界大戰期間復任駐舊金 山總領事。此畫創作於一九四〇年元旦(地點或為舊金山),時值張 善孖於一九三九年至一九四〇年巡遊北美,為艱難抗戰時期募款賑濟 之際。一九四五年,馮執正奉派出使墨西哥,本場拍品541號張書旂 所作花鳥,其上題識即誌此榮任之事。馮氏出身書香門第,其上溯七 世祖馮成修(1702-1796),曾為清高宗乾隆帝侍講學士,並隨聖駕 南巡,傳為士林佳話。

The Collection of Paul Cheng-Tzu Mao 茅承祖藏珍 Lots 544 - 551
Paul Cheng-tzu Mao (1922-2012), consulate representative of the Republic of China in San Francisco, was a strong supporter of Asian artists in the Western United States from the early 1970’s through the early 2000’s. His work promoting Chinese arts made him a well-known figure among Chinese artists especially in the San Francisco Bay area. His personal interactions included well known artists such as Zhang Daqian, Huang Junbi (1898-1002) and Au Ho-nien (1935-2024). When Zhang Daqian returned to San Francisco in 1963, he brought with him plants and over 3,000 pounds of garden rocks from Taiwan. Paul Mao personally met him at the airport and assisted in facilitating their entry. He also cultivated long term friendships with non-Asian artists of note, including a long personal relationship with Ansel Adams (1902-1984). In addition to his work among the artist community, he also promoted Chinese cultural outreach events including the Oroville Chinese Temple in California, built in 1863, as well as events commemorating the contribution of Chinese workers on the construction of the transcontinental railroad. 茅承祖曾任舊金山領事,自七十年代初至千禧年初,一直致力于支持 美國西部亞洲藝術家群體的發展。他因積極推廣广中華藝術而為群 衆所知,尤在舊金山灣區華人文藝界享有盛譽。與之往來的藝壇名 家包括張大千、黃君璧(1898-1991)、歐豪年(1935-2024)等。 茅氏亦與非華裔藝術家交誼深厚,如攝影大師安塞爾·亞當斯(Ansel Adams 1902-1984)。除推動藝術交流外,茅承祖還積極籌辦中華文 化推廣活動,並参與加州列聖宮(Oroville Chinese Temple)的保存工 作,以及為紀念鐵路華工貢獻的相關活動。

In the present lotus painting with a horizontal composition, broad washes of ink are freely applied to form expansive lotus leaves, their edges subtly suffused with light indigo tones. The sturdy, upright stalks rise with weight and strength, supporting the leaves as they spread gracefully like canopies above the water. Amid the surging rhythm of ink-washed foliage emerges a richly colored red lotus in full bloom, accompanied by two buds. The tradition of presenting lotus paintings as auspicious gifts to married couples dates back to antiquity. Zhang Daqian painted this work for Mr. and Mrs. Mao as an expression of his blessings for their marital harmony and mutual devotion. 張大千(1899-1983) 為茅承祖伉儷寫紅荷 設色紙本 鏡心 一九七四年作 款識:六十三年甲寅九月,寫似承祖吾兄、國潔夫 人儷賞,大千張爰同客美洲。 鈐印:張爰之印、大千居士、大千世界、得心應 手、環蓽盦 來源: 茅承祖(1922-2012)舊藏,直接得自藝術家, 繼由其後人遞藏至今。 此橫幅荷花,以潑墨舖洒大片荷葉,再以花青暈葉 緣,荷莖厚重挺拔,撑起荷葉亭亭如蓋,墨葉翻涌 的池塘里露出一朵嬌艷欲滴的紅荷及两株花苞。以 荷贈夫妻的傳統古已有之,張大千作此贈茅氏伉 儷,祝意二人和美同心。1963年,張大千自台灣歸 舊金山,隨身携花木及三千餘磅奇石,行李多達二 十八件,茅承祖親赴機場相迎,並協助辦理入境通 關事宜,足見二人交情。

The Collection of Yi Kuo-Juei 易國瑞將軍藏珍 Lots 552 - 557
Born in Changsha, Hunan Province, Yi Kuo-juei (1906-1990) was a lieutenant general of the Kuomintang and an officer of the Republic of China Air Force. He received his early military training at the Whampoa Military Academy and later graduated from the Lujun (Army) University. Over the course of his career, he held several important posts, including Commander of the Chengdu Air Force General Station, Acting Commander of the Chengdu Military Region, Deputy Commander of the First Air Force of the Republic of China Air Force, and Deputy Director of the General Political Warfare Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense. Following the Nationalist government’s relocation to Taiwan in 1949, Yi continued his military service and, during the 1950s, was recognized as a national hero (kenan yingxiong) by Chiang Kai-shek (1887-1975) in recognition of his distinguished achievements. 易國瑞(1906-1990),字震澤,湖南长沙人,國民党高級將領,中 華民國空軍軍官。早年入黃埔軍校接受軍事訓練,後畢業于陸軍大 學。在其軍事生涯中,易氏歷任成都空軍軍區副司令及代司令、中華 民國空軍第一空軍副司令、國防部總政治作戰局副局长等要職。1949 年國民政府遷台后,易國瑞繼續服役,並于1950年代因功勛卓著獲蔣 介石(1887-1975)頒「克難英雄」勛章。

During the same period, Xu Beihong made frequent visits to Chongqing, Sichuan Province, and resided for a time. It was likely under these circumstances that the two became acquainted. The present lot depicts Xu Beihong’s most iconic subject, the galloping horse. The horse is captured leaping in the air, its four legs tightly beneath its body as it surges forward. With its head slightly turned to the left, and its mane and tail streaming in motion, the horse conveys extraordinary vitality and momentum. The work may also be understood as an auspicious symbolism of success in the recipient’s career. 二十世紀三十年代末至四十年代初,易氏因職位調 動,携家眷居四川,而徐悲鴻亦恰在同一時期屢赴 重慶,並于四十年代初遷居沙坪壩及磐溪,二人當 在此段時間相交。本拍品繪徐氏最具代表性的奔馬 題材,該馬精瘦健碩,四足凌空縮起,馬首左瞻, 鬃、尾飛揚,縱橫馳騁,取駿馬騰空一躍的瞬間贈 時任空軍副司令的易氏,似亦有敬祝上款人平步青 雲之意。除徐悲鴻外,易氏亦與齊白石、溥儒、于 右任等藝壇名家交好,其夫人羅協邦之閨友張鬱廉 (1914-2010)即為黃君璧弟子,其女易榕青亦從 名師學畫。

Afforded an opportunity to visit China in 1984 and 1986 as a student at the University of Minnesota Duluth, Mr. Erickson attended the inaugural United States / Zhejiang Meishu Xueyuan, now Zhongguo Meishu Xueyuan, (Chinese Academy of Arts) shortterm Training Programs for the study of Chinese landscape painting in Hangzhou, under the guidance of esteemed artists such as Lu Yanshou and Sha Menghai (1900-1992). Thereafter, Mr. Erickson made numerous trips to China in the years that followed, and at his home in Seattle, he hosted Chinese artists who visited the United States. Among his friends in the art world, Xu Bing (b. 1955), Gu Wenda (1955-2008) and Wang Dongling (b. 1945) were all welcomed to his Pacific Northwest home. In 2018, he was invited as a representative of international alumni to speak at the opening ceremony of the exhibition “All Art Under the Sun: The 40th Anniversary of Education for Overseas Students at the China Academy of Art (1978-2018).” Returning to his alma mater for the occasion was a deeply moving experience for him.

Employing not only ink and color pigments, but also layering additional paper, bark and other materials, the artist takes an innovative approach to the tradition Chinese landscape. Influenced through relationships with European artists like Max Ernst, Tseng Yu-Ho sought a new direction in Chinese painting. At the same time, she sought to convey the deepest roots of Chinese culture. The repeating tree-form motif—an archaic pictorial character-reflects the artist’s interest in early Chinese script styles. Tseng Yu-Ho further explored this theme in her 1963 publication Some Contemporary Elements in Classical Chinese Art. In her own words a “picture book” that linked affinities of current avant garde aesthetics with longstanding principals in traditional Chinese aesthetics.

Chinese Prints Lots 601 - 638
China has been preeminent in the development of print technology. The earliest extant prints on paper date to the Tang dynasty (618-907), but the refinement of the oldest works suggest techniques that had been employed and perfected for generations prior. The production of multiple, identical images and texts fostered the spread of Buddhism to a wide populace, indelibly impacting Chinese visual and spiritual culture, as well as the culture of China’s closest neighbors. Alongside sacred texts and images, printing technology quickly adapted to suit secular purposes, and as a medium, printing developed wide ranging applications that expanded the medium to greater forms of artistic expression.
These refined images were not simply colored, but masterfully displayed subtle gradations of tone in the individual hues. Remarkably complicated in the process, the printing techniques successfully imitated the finer nuances of brushwork, effectively mimicking the painter’s hand. Accompanying the images, the replication of the textual passages also displayed a wide variety of calligraphic styles, capturing the dynamic rhythm and finesse of the brush aesthetic with such fidelity that even a connoisseur of calligraphy would appreciate the subtleties. In addition, printers also brought dimension to the images, by lightly embossing the paper for select details using
By the close of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), print culture flourished throughout China, and Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huizhou were all major publishing centers. Scores of private presses produced not only the classics, but illustrated novels, dramatic works, philosophical texts, as well as large pictorial sheets, catering to scholars and the wealthy, elite strata of society. Sumptuously illustrated volumes such as the Fangshi Mopu The Fang Family Book of Ink ( Lot 602) that celebrated Fang Yulu’s (1541-1608) fancy ink cake designs testify to the scholarly audience who would have appreciated these books. Similarly, the increasing popularity of painting manuals Huapu--books offering aesthetic models to teach and inspire and artists—provided informed approaches to depicting flowers, bamboo, rocks and landscapes, and found a receptive class of amateur artists eager to support a thriving print industry.
This complex production process and magnificent final product determined Shizhuzhai Shuhuapu to be a luxury commodity for elite members of society. Visually striking, text and image reflected the numerous necessary steps, from talented painters who created the compositions, expert woodworkers who carved the blocks, to skilled printers who managed the process. The success and reception of the Shizhuzhai Shuhuapu extended beyond China’s geographic borders, and the colorful images became a true international sensation. In addition to the Shizhuzhai Shuhuapu being reprinted in Japan, the techniques displayed had a direct and profound influence on the Japanese Ukiyo-e movement in the decades that followed. Other Chinese Huapu were also reissued by local Japanese press, (lot 611), with later reprinted editions sometimes appearing nearly immediately after the Chinese original (Lot 612).
By the 17th century, the printing in the Jiangnan region innovated radically with the introduction of polychrome color printing--employing multiple colors for a single image. Whereas the tradition of monochrome woodblock prints had been culturally ensconced for centuries, color printing represented an important technological and aesthetic breakthrough which would resonate around the globe. Shizhuzhai Shuhuapu Ten Bamboo Studio Painting Manual (lot 603, 604, 605), is one of the finest examples of early color printing. The first edition runs (Lot 603), produced from original blocks between 1633-1703, created prints showcasing as many as five different colors. Using advanced printing techniques that relied on multiple blocks, the result was a major step from black and white images hand-painted with splotches of color.
In the second half of the 19th century, lithography was introduced to China, once again altering the print industry. This new medium allowed for inexpensively reprinting earlier woodblock issued editions in far greater quantity, as well as allowing for broader distribution. (lot 613) The visual landscape also changed as a result of this new form of printing as offset lithography became the preferred media for mass market advertising. Colorful and inexpensive to produce, ‘poster culture’ showcased quickly changing fashions and a new metropolitan culture along with the changing image of women in society (Lot 617).

a technique called gauffrage (拱花 ).
Despite the introduction of new printing technologies, traditional woodblock printing techniques perpetuated into the 20th century with studios like the Beijing-based Rongbaozhai “Studio of Glorious Treasures”. Established in 1672, Rongbaozhai holds a prominent position in China’s historic printing culture, and during the Republic period they relied on time-honored techniques to reproduce the paintings of modern 20th century masters such as Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian (lots 618, 620, 628, 629) as well as continuing the tradition of producing woodblock prints to celebrate the Lunar New Year in 1949 and the years to follow. (Lots 624-626) In the 1930’s and 1940’s, Chinese prints seized a new function, becoming a vehicle for broadcasting political messages. Artists at the Lu Xun Academy in Yan’an adopted the woodcut media to boldly broadcast revolutionary ideals with overt political messages calling for social change. Artists such as Wang Shuyi (Lot 621) and Shi Lu (lot 622) found this form of aesthetic expression particularly well-suited to illustrate injustice, labor, suffering, poverty and war. Unlike earlier print studios in Nanjing and Suzhou, which relied on specialists at each phase of the process, the artists at the Lu Xun academy designed, cut, and printed their own blocks, and their use of oil-based inks endowed the prints with a distinctive sheen. With the onset of the second half of the twentieth century, Du Hongnian (lots 632, 633) and other artists continued to explore the potential of woodcut prints for graphic art and design. Like the work of his contemporaries, Du Hongnian’s earlier work often focused on timely political ideals, whereas his later output interpreted the landscapes and natural wonders of China, specifically Heilongjiang province, where he was based from 1958. Chinese prints on paper tend to be fragile, and very often they were made for purely ephemeral purposes, so surviving examples--even from recent periods--can be quite scarce. However, Chinese print culture is a key element in global art history. In recent years, the reception and study of Chinese prints have been the focus of several museum exhibitions, symopisia and academic studies. At the same time, several major museums, most notably the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, have been the beneficiary of important acquisitions of Chinese prints, building their permanent collections, and assuring this important genre will be preserved and appreciated.

中國在印刷技術的發展史上佔有舉足輕重的地位,現存最早的紙本印 刷品可追溯至唐代。當時的印刷工藝已臻化境,表明有唐以前,印刷術 已歷數代人革故鼎新。通過大批量複製圖文,佛教在廣大民眾中的傳播 一日千里,不僅對中土視覺藝術與精神文化影響深遠,也給鄰邦文化烙 上了不可磨滅的印記。除了宗教典籍圖像,印刷術亦應用於世俗圖文創 造,且不斷拓展範疇,並最終發展出更為多元的藝術表現形式。 明代末期,印刷文化蓬勃發展,遍及全國。其中,南京、蘇州、杭州與徽 州皆為重要的出版中心。眾多私家書坊如雨後春筍,其業務不僅涵蓋經 典文獻的印刷,更出版繡像小說、戲曲作品、哲學論著等,並印製大幅圖 版,以滿足文人雅士與上層精英的需求。如《方氏墨譜》(拍品 602)這 類裝幀精美的版刻書籍,記錄了方于魯(1541-1608)所製的考究墨錠紋 樣,反映了當時文人對此類書籍的鑑賞需求。同時,供「傳移模寫」之用 的啓蒙畫譜也日益流行,多有花鳥、竹石、山水等題材的筆法圖例,獲 得廣大業餘畫家的青睞,進一步推動了印刷業蒸蒸日上。 至十七世紀,江南地區的印刷技術迎來重大革新。隨著餖版水印技術的 問世,實現了對單張圖像的「隨類賦彩」。此前數百年,單色木刻版畫已 耕耘出深植於本土文化的傳統,彩色印刷的出世標誌著技術與美學的 突破,其影響將遠至邦外。《十竹齋書畫譜》(拍品603、604、605)即 為早期彩色套印的典範之作,其初版初印本(拍品603)製於崇禎六年 (1633)至康熙四十二年(1703)間,已可呈現多達五種色彩,與過去單 色印刷時代,只能在墨印後,再由手工繪染。現藉助先進的套版印刷術, 這些精印版畫不僅著色精工,且巧妙保留各色調的細膩層次,以模仿真 實筆墨的微妙韻致,宛如畫者親筆揮就,其工藝之繁複精湛令人讚嘆。 除了圖版,對題書頁的書風亦配合畫風而變,精準再現了書法藝術的節 奏韻律與筆墨神采,即便鑑賞名家亦會為其精妙之處傾心。此外,更以 拱花技法,在紙面輕壓出凹凸紋樣,為特定細節增添立體效果。

《十竹齋書畫譜》製作工序龐雜(單頁分不同色調、印版可先後印刷六 七十次),成品精妙入神,實則為上層高雅絕俗之流專享的奢侈藏品。為 達到如此圖文並茂的妍麗效果,自畫工構圖、刻工雕版到印工套色等每 道工序都需層層匠心。《十竹齋書畫譜》的成功與聲譽遠播海外,其色 彩斑斕的圖像風靡一時。此書不僅在東瀛屢經重刊,其套印技法更直 接影響了其後數十年間浮世繪版畫的發展。其他中國畫譜亦被日本書坊 爭相覆刻(如拍品611),甚至在原刻問世後不久,和刻翻刻本即迅速面 世(如拍品612)。 十九世紀後半葉,石版印刷技術傳入中國,再次改寫了印刷業的面貌。這 項新技術不僅能大批量且能廉價地複印早期木刻書籍,且其傳播範圍 遠超以往(拍品613)。隨著石印技術的普及,中國的視覺文化亦隨之變 革,彩色石印漸成大眾市場廣告海報的主流媒介。這種絢麗繽紛的海報 文化,既展現了瞬息萬變的時尚潮流與新興都會風情,也記錄了社會中 女性形象的不斷演變(拍品617)。 儘管新式印刷技術相繼問世,以北京榮寶齋為代表的傳統木刻水印作 坊,依然延續至二十世紀。榮寶齋肇始於清康熙十一年(1672),原名「 松竹齋」,後取「以文會友,榮名為寳」之意改為榮寶齋,設「帖套作」 機構,自刻、自印、自銷,其在中國悠久的印刷文化中佔有舉足輕重的 地位。民國時期,榮寶齋運用傳承有緒的古老技法,精心複製齊白石、 張大千等二十世紀畫壇巨匠的作品(拍品618、620、628、629),並於 1949年後持續印製賀歲木版年畫(拍品624-626)。 二十世紀三四十年代,版畫在中國被賦予了全新的使命,成為傳播政治 理念的載體。延安魯迅藝術學院的藝術家們,運用木刻這一媒介,大膽 宣揚革命理想,以鮮明的政治訴求呼籲社會變革。諸如王樹藝(19171999,作品見拍品621)與石魯(1919-1982,作品見拍品622)等藝術 家,發現這種媒介尤為適合刻畫表現社會不公、勞作苦楚、貧困艱艱與 生靈塗炭等題材。與早先南京、蘇州等地畫坊在製作流程中依賴專門工 匠不同,魯藝的藝術家們親自完成畫稿、刻版與拓印的全過程,他們所 選用的油墨,使作品呈現出獨特的光澤。
進入二十世紀後半葉,杜鴻年(1928-1998,作品見拍品632、633)等藝 術家持續探索木刻版畫在圖像藝術與設計領域的表現潛力。與同輩藝 術家相似,杜鴻年早期創作多聚焦於具有時代意義的政治題材,而其後 期作品,則致力於詮釋中國的山水與自然奇觀,他自1958年起定居黑龍 江省,該地的風貌給予他無限靈感。 紙本版畫質地脆弱,且許多作品于創作之初便未考慮長久留存,因而即 便為近世之作,能流傳至今且品相完好者,均屬鳳毛麟角。中國版畫文 化是全球藝術史中不可或缺的一環,近年來,中國版畫的傳播與研究屢 成博物館展覽、學術研討會及研究項目的焦點,並有數家重要博物館, 如紐約大都會藝術博物館、俄亥俄州的克利夫蘭藝術博物館等,相繼 獲贈珍貴的中國版畫以豐富館藏,確保此一重要藝術門類得以永續保 存、踵事增華。

Together with the Chengshi Moyan (The Cheng Family Catalogue of Ink), the Fangshi Mopu (The Fang Family Book of Ink) was one of two illustrated woodblock printed texts produced in Huizhou during late Ming dynasty dedicated to the topic of fancy ink cake designs. The fact that two extravagantly in-depth studies were published during the same period and place on an identical topic is indicative of the widespread influence of literati culture during the Late Ming, as well as a nod to the industry of ink production in the Huizhou. Although the two publications were considered rival works, both books relied on the artist Ding Yunpeng (1518-1618) for his illustrations.

Shizhuzhai Shuhuapu (Ten Bamboo Studio Collection of Calligraphy and Painting), first issued in 1633 in Nanjing, is among the earliest books printed in multiple colors. Under the direction of the versatile editor Hu Zhengyan, more than thirty painters and some one hundred twenty poet calligraphers contributed designs and texts. The resulting 356 leaves were arranged in eight volumes, each devoted to a category of nature studies: orchids, bamboo, plums, ink flowers (round compositions), scholar’s rocks, birds, and fruit, together with an introductory volume. No complete set of the original prints survives, and even partial sets are extremely rare. In “The Editions, Superstates, and States of the Ten Bamboo Studio Collection of Calligraphy and Painting” (2010), Thomas Ebrey identifies ten editions and superstates of the work. The first edition, printed from the original woodblocks for the pictorial leaves, comprises four “superstates.” The first superstate was printed from 1633 to approximately 1703. The second, dating from 1703 to about 1775, is distinguished by the addition of a one-page advertisement. The third superstate was printed from around 1790 to 1879, followed by a fourth superstate bearing a cover page dated 1879. The remaining six editions, all dating to the 19th century, are recut versions. The present twenty pictorial prints, each paired with a calligraphy leaf, are exceptional and likely among the earliest surviving editions from the original blocks. Only two other sets appear comparably early: an eighteen-leaf group in the British Museum, acquired piecemeal in the 1930s, argued to be “very early” in The Printed Image in China: from 8th to the 21st Centuries, and a twenty-leaf “Plum” volume in the Christer von der Burg Collection.

Discussed in detail in the Handbook of the Colour Print in China, 16001800, the present sheets represent masterpieces of the art of Chinese printing. Ten Bamboo Studio introduced the techniques of shading and overprinting to achieve a loose and exuberantly painterly effect. Shading, created by partially wiping color off an inked block, mimics brush washes and varying degrees of pressure of the brush, while overprinting (layering different tones or hues of ink) yields a broader and more subtle palette. Within this group, rocks are the dominant motif. Most leaves derive from the “Scholar’s Rocks” volume, with additional leaves from the “Introductory” and “Round Design (Ink Flowers)” volumes. Leaves from the latter have been modified to harmonize with the rest: the circular border around each image and the frame around the accompanying poem have been removed, traces of which remain visible when the sheets are held to the light. Uniquely, this is the only known set in which the prints were never folded down the center, and this refinement applies to both pictorial and calligraphy leaves. Other indicators of a deluxe issue include blown-ink effects on leaf VI-14 (Fig.1) and a light embossing on leaf I-16 (Fig.2), time-consuming and expensive touches abandoned in later printings.

《十竹齋書畫譜》最初于明崇禎六年(1633)由安徽休寧胡正言于南 京鷄籠山梓印畢,是中國最早的彩色套印圖籍之一。胡氏集畫師三十 餘人、詩書家約百二十人共襄盛舉,終成譜八卷,凡三百五十六幅, 分列竹譜、墨華譜、石譜、翎毛譜、梅譜、蘭譜、果譜等七類,外加 書畫譜一卷為綱領。原版初印之本今已無全帙存世,即零冊散頁亦屬 稀見。 據托馬斯·埃佈里(Thomas Ebrey)於《十竹齋書畫譜版本系統考辨》 (The Editions, Superstates, and States of the Ten Bamboo Studio Collection of Calligraphy and Painting, 2010)中研究,該譜可析為十 種版本及四個版次階段。初版係指圖版使用原版刷印者,共歷四個版 次:第一版次自明崇禎六年(1633)迄約康熙廿四年(1703);第二 版次約康熙廿四年(1703)至乾隆四十年(1775),新增一頁;第三 版次約乾隆五十五年(1790)至光緒五年(1879);第四版次則見封 面款署光緒五年(1879)。其餘六種版本,皆屬十九世紀重刻本。 本拍品搜羅彩印圖版奇石二十幅,大多出自〈石譜〉,間採〈書畫 譜〉及〈墨華譜〉中數頁。為求整體形式一致,出自〈墨華譜〉的數 頁因原圖有圓形邊框及題詩外框,經巧妙改製後被移除,然對光細 看,刪削痕跡隱約可辨。此二十土每圖皆配以書法對頁,品質絕倫, 應屬存世最早的初版初印遺珍。據目前所知,僅有兩套可與之頡頏: 一為大英博物館庋藏之十八葉散頁(二十世紀三十年代陸續入藏), 《八至二十一世紀中國印刷圖像》(The Printed Image in China: from 8th to the 21st Centuries)一書稱其「年代極早」;另一為瑞典收藏 名家馮德保(Christer von der Burg)珍藏之二十葉〈梅譜〉一卷。

The first edition, second superstate of the Shizhuzhai Shuhuapu, was described by Thomas Ebrey as “perhaps the most beautiful set of prints ever made.” According to Ebrey, this example closely corresponds to the set in the collection of the Harvard–Yenching Library, catalogued with the date ‘1715.’ The majority of the leaves, with the exception of the Prefaces, are printed from the original blocks. Most leaves of the complete set are present; only the “Orchid” volume is entirely lacking, which is least appealing. John Story Jenks (1876–1946) was a Philadelphia banker, noted collector of Chinese art, and a trustee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The history of numismatics studies in China dates to the 6th century, although the earliest extent text--Qianzhi--dates to the Song Dynasty. With the rise of epigraphy studies (Jinshixue) in the middle Qing dynasty, scholars and calligraphers took a renewed interest in archaic forms of written script, and early metal coins provided a wealth of source material. 孟麟撰 《泉布統誌》九卷 年刊 *本拍品不設底價

Wang Yin (Wang Yemei) was a key figure in late 19th century book publishing circles in Suzhou and Shanghai. Establishing the famed Dongbi Shanfang publishing house, the texts produced used traditional woodblock printing and were known for their high-quality illustrations. The Yemei Shipu, a painting manual for rocks was first published in Hefei, Anhui Province in 1880. Remarkably, the next year, this Japanese edition was published in Osaka, Japan. The publisher, Maekawa Zenbee also enjoyed a lofty reputation, and collaborating with other artists, he reprinted several other Chinese titles, catering to local interest in Chinese culture.

When lithography was introduced to China in the late 19th century, it dramatically altered the print industry. In Shanghai alone, over fifty lithographic presses were operating by the final years of the Qing dynasty, a testament to the strong demand. Along with new publications, earlier woodblock printed volumes were reproduced in lithograph form. For a publication like the Jieziyuan Huapu, these later lithographed editions were not simply reprints, as they incorporated new paintings by popular contemporary artists such as Chao Xun (1852-1917), Yu Li (1862-1922), Wu Guxiang (1848-1903), and Wang Yin (c.1832-c1892).

In 1933 the artist Lu Xun (18811936) collaborated with the archaeologist and scholar Zheng Zhenduo (1898-1958) to publish Beiping Jianpu to great fanfare. Shortly thereafter, Rongbaozhai-- which owed many of the blocks and designs that were used in Beiping Jianpu--released Beiping Rongbaozhai Jianpu in response to the overwhelming demand for the earlier version.

$2,000 - 3,000 Alfred Koehn was a German diplomat drawn to Asia through his interest in botanical studies. First in Japan, he later lived in a Beijing hutong “The Lotus Court” from 1937-1949, where he produced a number of fine press editions relating to Chinese culture, frequently supplementing his books with locally produced woodblock prints and papercuts. The Rongbaozhai woodblock prints featured in this volume are printed heavier paper stock, indicating they were likely a special order from Rongbaozhai. Although Koehn produced several titles at the Lotus Court, most of his print runs were tiny, and there are few copies from each book extant today. The present lot is exceptionally rare, with Worldcat listing only two copies, at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin. A third copy, in the Hamburg Museum, was donated to the Museum by Koehn. The present lot was from the library of Madame du Breuil, was a White Russian emigre who lived in Beijing from 1918 and owned an antique shop known as “Old Cathay 古奇行”-on Legation Street, before she relocated to Hong Kong prior to 1949.

Peter Townsend (Tang Xun, 1919-2006) Collection 唐遜(1919-2006)珍藏 Lots 621-622 are from an esteemed collection of early 20th century Chinese woodcuts assembled by Peter Townsend. Born in Canterbury England, Townsend acquired his keen interest in China as a young man. After one year at Oxford University, he travelled to Asia on a Quaker mission with a volunteer ambulance service. Residing in China from 1941 to 1951, he lived in Chongqing, Chengdu, Shanghai and Beijing. A firsthand witness to the revolution, he served as a wartime correspondent for the New Statesman, the BBC, and other English language news outlets. His decade of experiences would provide the narrative for his important publication China Phoenix, (Jonathan Cape, London, 1955), which shared his unique perspective of this monumental decade in China’s modern history. Whilst in China, Townsend also formed his important collection of woodcut prints. The origins of his collection began with a meeting at Soong Qingling’s home in Chongqing, when Zhou Enlai presented Townsend with woodcut. On several occasions after their first meeting, Zhou Enlai gave Townsend others including examples by Wang Shuyi--with the goal that the images and inherent messages would be shared and broadcast outside of China. Townsend later credited Zhou Enlai’s initial gift as the impetus to collect more prints, and while in China, he sought out additional examples and traveled to meet members of the China Woodcut Artists’ Association. In 1985, the National Gallery of Australian acquired the Peter Townsend collection of over 250 prints. The prints offered in this sale represent duplicate examples, and thus they were not included in the 1985 NGA accession. Today, Townsend’s Chinese Woodcuts at the NGA are recognized as among the most significant collections of Chinese wartime woodcuts, along with holdings at the British Museum, London, and the Picker Museum at Colgate University, Hamilton New York. Since their acquisition by the NGA, the Townsend collection of Chinese woodcuts have been the focus of dedicated exhibitions as well as international workshops that have focused on the aesthetics and significance of this form of expression.
拍品621T至622T出自唐遜(Peter Townsend)珍藏二十世紀早期中 國木刻版畫,唐遜生於英格蘭坎特伯雷城,青年時期便對中國產生了 濃厚興趣。于牛津大學就讀一年後,他隨公誼會救護車隊前往亞洲服 務。1941年至1951年間,他旅居中國,先後於重慶、成都、上海及 北京生活。他曾擔任《新政治家》周刊、英國廣播公司及其他英語媒 體的戰地記者,是中國現代史上這一重要時期的親歷者。這十年間積 累的經歷,為其代表作《中國鳳凰》(China Phoenix,倫敦喬納森· 凱普出版社,1955年)提供了敘事素材,使該書以獨特視角再現了中 國現代史上這十載嬗遞。 旅居中國期間,唐遜開始建立其木刻版畫收藏。此一舉動緣起其於重 慶在宋慶齡(1893-1981)寓所的一次會面,時周恩來(1898-1976 )總理當面贈予唐遜一幅版畫。此後數度會面,周恩來又陸續相贈, 希冀將這些圖像及其承載的訊息傳揚至中國境外,這其中便包括王樹 藝等人的作品。唐遜後來表示,正是周恩來的這份贈禮,啟發了他廣 泛蒐集版畫的念頭。短居中國期間,他積極尋訪更多佳作,更親往拜 會木刻研究會的成員。 1985年,澳洲國家美術館購入逾250幅唐遜舊藏版畫。本場拍賣呈 獻之版畫,係該批藏品中的複本,故未納入當年國家美術館的入藏 之列。時至今日,該館中的唐遜舊藏中國木刻版畫已與倫敦大英博 物館、紐約漢密爾頓科爾蓋特大學(Colgate University)匹克美術館 (Picker Art Gallery)之珍藏齊名,被公認為中國抗戰木刻版畫最重 要的收藏之一。自入藏澳洲國家美術館以來,這批藏品屢屢成為專題 展覽與國際研討會的焦點,深入探討此一藝術形式的審美特質與時代 意義。 關於澳洲國家美術館所藏唐遜珍藏中國木刻版畫的全面評述,參見 策展人克萊爾·羅伯茨(Claire Roberts)撰寫的〈戰爭所繪:澳洲 國家美術館藏唐遜珍藏中國現代木刻版畫〉Drawn by War: The Peter Townsend Collection of Modern Chinese Woodblock Prints in the National Gallery of Australia,收錄于《澳大利亞與新西蘭藝術雜誌》 Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art 第24卷,2024年,頁254 至272。

The preservation of the present work through the passage of time further underscores its rarity and significance. Xu Beihong (1895-1953) wrote in an essay that, “I think of the woodcut artist Gu Yuan. The rigorous and composed realism in his works should remind his contemporaries of the importance of drawing.” The present work exemplifies this steadfast artistic discipline, uniting a solid foundation in realism with an idealistic radiance befitting its historical moment. 126 | BONHAMS

The terms “Bonhams,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Bonhams & Butterfields Auctioneers Corp., a Delaware corporation. The terms “you” and “your” refer to the auction registrant, bidder or buyer of a lot, as applicable. On occasion, Bonhams or one of its affiliated companies within the Bonhams Group may have an ownership or equivalent economic interest in an item of property, in whole or in part, which interest will be indicated by the ▲ symbol next to the lot number. 1. As used herein, the term “hammer price” means the price at which a lot is successfully knocked down to the buyer (or, for online-only sales, the price acknowledged by Bonhams’ online bidding system). A PREMIUM, retained by us and payable by the buyer, shall be calculated based on the hammer price and payable in addition to it (the “buyer’s premium”). The following buyer’s premium rates shall apply to each lot: (a) For all auctions except those listed below in subparagraphs 1.(b)-(d): 28% OF THE FIRST $50,000 OF THE HAMMER PRICE, PLUS 27% OF THE AMOUNT OF THE HAMMER PRICE ABOVE $50,000 UP TO AND INCLUDING $1,000,000, PLUS 21% OF THE AMOUNT OF THE HAMMER PRICE ABOVE $1,000,000 UP TO AND INCLUDING $6,000,000, PLUS 14.5% OF THE AMOUNT OF THE HAMMER PRICE ABOVE $6,000,000.

2. In order to bid at the sale, prospective bidders must submit to Bonhams a completed bidder registration and any other requested information or references.

Individuals will be required to provide governmentissued proof of identity and proof of address. Entity clients will be required to provide documentation including confirmation of entity registration showing the registered name, confirmation of registered address, documentary proof of officers and beneficial owners, proof of authority to transact on behalf of the entity and government- issued proof of identity for the individual who is transacting on the entity’s behalf. We may also request a financial reference and/ or deposit from bidders before approving the bidder registration. In the event a deposit is submitted, and you are not the successful bidder, your deposit will be returned to you. If you are the successful bidder, any such deposit will be credited to offset the appropriate portion of the purchase price. We reserve the right to request further information, including regarding the source of funds, in order to complete bidder identification and registration procedures (including completing any anti-money laundering and/or anti-terrorism financing checks we may require) to our satisfaction. If our bidder identification and registration procedures are not satisfied, we may, in our sole discretion, decline to register any bidder or reject any bid or cancel any sale to such bidder. Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless prior to the commencement of the sale there is a written acceptance by Bonhams of a bidder registration form completed and signed by the principal which clearly states that the authorized bidding agent is acting on behalf of the named principal. Absent such written acceptance by Bonhams, any person placing a bid as agent on behalf of another (whether or not such person has disclosed that fact or the identity of the principal) may be jointly and severally liable with the principal under any contract resulting from the acceptance of a bid. Every bidder shall be responsible for any use of its assigned paddle or bidding account, regardless of the circumstances. For all auctions and sales, should your bid be successful, you irrevocably agree to pay the full purchase price. We are not responsible for any errors that you make or that are made through your bidding account in placing a bid on a lot. 3. You represent and warrant that: (i) you have provided to us, or will provide upon request, true and correct copies of valid identification and proof of residence and, if applicable, financial and/or corporate documents; (ii) neither you, your principal (if applicable, and subject to Bonhams’ prior written acceptance pursuant to paragraph 2 above), nor any individual or entity with a beneficial or ownership interest in either the purchased property or in the purchase transaction is on the Specially Designated Nationals List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury nor subject to any other sanctions or embargo program or regulation in effect in the United States, European Union, England and Wales, or other applicable jurisdictions (such programs and regulations, collectively, “Sanctions”); (iii) if you are acting as an agent for a principal, you have conducted appropriate due diligence into such principal, and agree that Bonhams shall be
entitled to rely upon such due diligence, you will retain adequate records evidencing such due diligence for a period of five (5) years following the consummation of the sale, and will make these records available for inspection upon Bonhams’ request; (iv) neither the purchase transaction (including your bidding activity) nor the purchase funds are connected with nor derive from any criminal activity, and they are not designed to nor have they or shall they, violate the banking, anti-money laundering, or currency transfer laws or other regulations (including without limitation, import-export laws) of any country or jurisdiction, or further any other unlawful purpose, including without limitation collusion, anti-competitive activity, tax evasion or tax fraud; and (v) property purchased by you or your principal (if applicable) hereunder is not and will not be transferred to or used in a country in contravention of any Sanctions. You acknowledge and agree that we may rely upon the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing warranties. 4. On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer (or, for onlineonly sales, on the close of the lot by Bonhams’ online bidding system), the highest bidder accepted for the lot shall have purchased the offered lot in accordance and subject to compliance with all of the conditions set forth herein and (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefor, (b) if requested will sign a confirmation of purchase, and (c) will pay the purchase price in full or such part as we may require for all lots purchased. No lot may be transferred. Unless otherwise agreed, payment in good, cleared funds is due and payable within five (5) business days following the auction sale. Whenever the buyer pays only a part of the total purchase price for one or more lots purchased, we may apply such payments or any deposits, in our sole discretion, to the lot or lots we choose. Payment will not be deemed made in full until we have received good, cleared funds for all amounts due. Title in any purchased property will not pass until full and final payment has been received by Bonhams. Accounts must be settled in full before property is released to the buyer. In the event property is released earlier, such release will not affect the passing of title or the buyer’s obligation to timely remit full payment. We reserve the right to refuse to accept payment from a source other than the registered bidder or buyer of record. Once an invoice is issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice. Payment for purchases must be made in the currency in which the sale is conducted. Bonhams’ preferred payment method is by wire transfer. For final purchases exceeding US $25,000, all payments must be in the form of wire transfer unless other arrangements have been approved in advance. For final purchases below US $25,000, payment may also be made in or by the following methods: (i) Cash. Please note that the amount of cash that can be accepted from a given buyer is limited to US $5,000 per auction sale (whether by single or multiple related payments). If the amount payable exceeds that sum, the balance must be paid by another method. (ii) Cashier’s check, money order, or personal check with approved credit drawn on a U.S. bank. A processing fee will be assessed on any returned checks. (iii) Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover debit or credit card issued in the name of the buyer or record. Only one debit or credit card may be US/MAIN/30.4.2025
Conditions of Sale - continued and warranties as set forth in paragraph 3 above; (ii) we, in our sole discretion, determine that such transaction might be unlawful or might subject Bonhams or the seller to any liability to any third party; or (iii) there are any other grounds for cancellation under these Conditions of Sale.
used for payment of an account balance. This method of payment may not be available to first time buyers. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the buyer grants us a security interest in the property, and we may retain as collateral security for the buyer’s obligations to us, any property and all monies held or received by us for the account of the buyer, in our possession. We also retain all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (which shall mean the New York Uniform Commercial Code, except where the Uniform Commercial Code of another state governs the perfection of a security interest in collateral located in that state), and you agree that we may file financing statements without your signature. If the foregoing conditions or any other applicable conditions herein are not complied with, in addition to all other remedies available to us and the seller by law, we may at our election: (a) hold the buyer liable for the full purchase price and any late charges, collection costs, attorneys’ fees and costs, expenses and incidental damages incurred by us or the seller arising out of the buyer’s breach; (b) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments and deposits made by the buyer; (c) cancel the sale and/or resell the purchased property, at public auction and/or by private sale, and in such event the buyer shall be liable for the payment of all consequential damages, including any deficiencies or monetary losses, and all costs and expenses of such sale or sales, our commissions at our standard rates, all other charges due hereunder, all late charges, collection costs, attorneys’ fees and costs, expenses and incidental damages; and/or (d) reveal the buyer’s identity and contact details to the seller. In addition, where two or more amounts are owed in respect of different transactions by the buyer to us, to Bonhams 1793 Limited and/or to any of our other affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide within the Bonhams Group, we reserve the right to apply any monies paid in respect of a transaction to discharge any amount owed by the buyer. If all fees, commissions, premiums, hammer prices and other sums due to us from the buyer are not paid promptly as provided in these Conditions of Sale, we reserve the right to impose a finance charge equal to 1.5% per month (or, if lower, the maximum nonusurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law), on all amounts due to us beginning on the 31st day following the sale until payment is received, in addition to other remedies available to us by law. 5.
We reserve the right to withdraw any property and to divide and combine lots at any time before such property’s auction. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale (or, for online-only sales, explicitly stated in the lot description), all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog and no lots shall be divided or combined for sale.
6.
We reserve the right to reject a bid from any bidder, to split any bidding increment, and to advance the bidding in any manner we, as auctioneer, may decide. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event we, as auctioneer, doubt the validity of any bid, we, as auctioneer, shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder, re-open the bidding, or to cancel the sale and re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales records shall be conclusive in all respects. We further reserve the right to cancel the sale of any property if: (i) you are in breach of your representations
7.
If we are prevented by fire, theft or any other reason whatsoever from delivering any property to the buyer or a sale otherwise cannot be completed, our liability shall be limited to the sum actually paid therefor by the buyer and shall in no event include any compensatory, incidental or consequential damages.
8.
All lots in the catalog are offered subject to a reserve unless otherwise indicated in the catalog. The ¤ symbol next to the lot number denotes no reserve. The reserve is the confidential minimum hammer price at which such lot will be sold and it does not exceed the low estimate value for the lot. If a lot is offered subject to a reserve, we may implement such reserve by bidding on behalf of the seller, whether by opening bidding or continuing bidding in response to other bidders until reaching the reserve. If we have an interest in an offered lot and the proceeds therefrom other than our commissions, we may bid up to the reserve to protect such interest. If any opening or subsequent bid is below the reserve for a lot, the auctioneer (or, for online-only sales, on the close of the lot by Bonhams’ online bidding system), may reject such opening bid and withdraw the item from sale. SELLERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BID ON THEIR OWN ITEMS.
9.
Other than as provided in the “LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION” section of these Conditions of Sale with respect to identification of authorship, all property is sold “AS IS” and any statements contained in the catalog or in any advertisement, bill of sale, announcement, condition report, invoice or elsewhere as to period, culture, source, origin, media, measurements, size, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition and literature of historical relevance, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or physical condition ARE QUALIFIED STATEMENTS OF OPINION AND NOT REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY. Neither Bonhams nor the seller shall be responsible for any error or omission in the catalog description of any property. No employee or agent of Bonhams is authorized to make on our behalf or on that of the seller any representation or warranty, oral or written, with respect to any property.
10. All purchased property shall be removed from the premises at which the sale is conducted by the date(s) and time(s) set forth herein, and, if applicable, as further specified in the “Buyer’s Guide” portion of the catalog. Lots designated with a “W” and associated purchased lots, if not removed promptly following sale, will be transferred to an offsite warehouse at the buyer’s risk and expense, as set forth in more detail in the “Buyer’s Guide.” Purchased property that is permitted to remain onsite at Bonhams’ facility must be removed at the buyer’s expense not later than 5:00 p.m. local time five (5) business days following the date of the sale. If not so removed, a storage fee of US $5.00 per lot per day will be payable to us by the buyer beginning at the close of the 14th day following the sale, and we may thereafter transfer such property to an offsite warehouse at the buyer’s risk and expense. Accounts must be settled in full before property will be released. Packing and handling of purchased lots are the responsibility of the buyer and at the buyer’s
entire risk, as are the identification, application for, and cost(s) of obtaining any necessary export, import, restricted material (e.g. endangered species) or other permit for such lots. 11.

Bonhams accepts no responsibility or liability for any damage to property that is not collected more than 14 days after the auction. Any property not so collected will incur storage charges, starting on day 15, at the then applicable rates charged by the third-party facility where sold property is stored for post-sale collection by buyers. Such third-party storage facility may charge, and the buyer agrees to pay, storage fees per lot, on a daily or a monthly basis.

Purchasers are required to comply with their respective states’ or jurisdictions’ regulations regarding the importation, exportation and shipment of alcoholic beverages, and purchasers are solely responsible for the importation, exportation and shipment of alcoholic beverage products purchased. All alcoholic beverage property, however shipped or received, requires the recipient to be in possession of photo identification confirming that he or she is 21 years of age or older. In addition, many jurisdictions prohibit the importation, or limit the quantity, of alcoholic beverages entering such jurisdiction, and some jurisdictions require the purchaser, seller and/or shipper to obtain certain permits or licenses prior thereto. It is the purchaser’s sole responsibility to determine whether any such restrictions, limitations or prohibitions are applicable prior to bidding and to obtain any required permits or licenses, and any delay in obtaining or the denial of any such permit or license shall not serve as
the basis for any cancellation or rescission of any purchase made hereunder or any delay in making full payment for the purchase when due. e. All Wines and Spirits lots are sold in Massachusetts and title passes to the buyer in Massachusetts. All sales are subject to applicable taxes.
SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COINS AND BANKNOTES AUCTIONS a. Bonhams has utilized adjectival, descriptive grading to describe the conditions of coins and banknotes in the catalog rather than the Sheldon numerical scale. Grading is subjective and open to interpretation. Prospective bidders are encouraged to make their own examination of the numismatic lots offered and not rely on any other party’s opinion as to grade or other attributes, as opinions differ and grading standards change over time. b. Many of the numismatic lots have been graded by third party grading service(s) including but not limited to PCGS, NGC, and/or ANACS. To the extent Bonhams provides such grading information in the cataloguing of a lot, it does so without any express or implied warranty or guarantee, and such information’s inclusion does not mean that Bonhams or the seller agrees or disagrees with the information that such third party grading service(s) have provided. Bonhams and its sellers shall not be bound by any prior or subsequent opinion or certification (or lack thereof) by any third party grading service, and bidders on numismatic lots hereby acknowledge and agree that any such opinion or certification (or lack thereof) shall not be used as the basis for any attempted rescission of sale. THE BUYER ASSUMES ALL RISKS RELATING TO GRADING, CONDITION, RARITY AND VALUATION OF NUMISMATIC LOTS. c. Catalog illustrations of numismatic lots may not be to scale or reflect the depicted items’ actual size.
SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ARMS AND MILITARIA AUCTIONS a. Certain classifications of firearms require licensures and/or are subject other regulatory restrictions. Prospective bidders are responsible for checking with their local (e.g. state) regulatory authorities regarding any applicable restrictions and/or license/ permit requirements before bidding. Each lot offered in the sale will be classified as “Antique Pre1899,” “Curio/Relic,” Modern firearm,” or “Modern handgun.” Firearms classified as “Antique Pre-1899” do not require any licensing to purchase and can be released directly to the buyer. Firearms classified as “Modern firearm” or Modern handgun” will only be released to persons possessing a valid Federal Firearms Dealer License. Firearms classified as “Curio/Relic” may be released to persons possessing a valid Federal Firearms Dealer License or persons possessing a valid Federal Firearms Collector of Curios and Relics License. Items that meet the age requirements but have been altered from their original configuration may NOT be delivered on a Federal Firearms Collector of Curios and Relics License. The transfer of certain types of firearms (including without limitation handguns and certain rifles) to residents may be regulated by certain state (including Massachusetts) laws. It is the prospective buyer’s responsibility to determine the legality of possession or ownership of any firearms, including transference of such, in his or her state of residence prior to bidding. Additionally, some states have restrictions
on transfers to persons holding a Federal Firearms Collector of Curios and Relics License. If you determine after purchasing a firearm that it is not transferrable in your state, Bonhams will not cancel the sale and you will be responsible for payment in full b. Persons holding a valid Federal Firearms Dealer License may take possession of any purchase on the day of the sale upon presenting a signed copy of their Federal Firearms Dealer License provided payment to Bonhams has been made in full. If a person holding a Federal Firearms Dealer License is sending an agent to pick up purchased lot(s), that agent must be a bona fide, paid employee of the company. c. If you possess a valid Federal Firearms Collector of Curios & Relics License, any purchased lots that qualify as such may be transferred directly to you at time of pickup. You must provide a signed copy of your current Federal Firearms Collector of Curios & Relics License at time of pickup. A Massachusetts resident presenting a Federal Firearms Collector of Curios & Relics at time of pickup must also present a copy of their valid Massachusetts License to Carry, Firearms Identification Card, or Machine Gun License. d. If you are a Massachusetts resident and are the successful bidder on a firearm classified as “Curio/ Relic,” “Modern firearm,” or “Modern handgun” and do not possess a valid Federal Firearms License, you must arrange for the transfer of the firearm from Bonhams to a dealer in Massachusetts holding a Federal Firearms Dealer License of your choice who will then conduct the necessary background check and document the transfer in accordance with Massachusetts law. Any such fees charged by a dealer are solely the responsibility of the buyer. e. If you live in a state other than Massachusetts, you must arrange for the shipment of firearms lots classified as “Curio/Relic,” “Modern firearm,” or “Modern handgun” to a dealer in your state holding a Federal Firearms Dealer License who will then transfer the firearm to you. A holder of a valid Federal Firearms Dealer License who lives in another state is permitted to pick up firearms lots designated as “Curio/Relic,” “Modern firearm,” or “Modern handgun.” A holder of a valid Federal Firearms Collector of Curios & Relics License who lives in another state is permitted to pick up firearm lots designated as “Curio/Relic” at Bonhams’ Marlborough office. Some states have restrictions on transfers to Federal Firearms Collector of Curios & Relics license holders. It is the buyer’s responsibility to be familiar with all applicable laws and regulations. To purchase with a Federal Firearms Collector of Curio & Relic License, the firearm must be listed as acceptable on the ATF list for collectors of curios, accessible at: https://www.atf.gov/file/128116/ download and https://www.atf.gov/file/2026/ download. Buyers are responsible for checking all regulatory authorities regarding any applicable restrictions and/or license/permit requirements before shipping any lot.
SALES AND USE TAX New York sales tax is charged on the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any other applicable charges on any property collected or delivered in New York State, regardless of the state or country in which the buyer resides or does business. Buyers who make direct arrangements for collection by a shipper who is considered a “private” or “contract” carrier by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance will be charged New York sales tax, regardless of the destination of the US/MAIN/30.4.2025
Conditions of Sale - continued property. Property collected for delivery to a destination outside of New York by a shipper who is considered a “common carrier” by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance (e.g. United States Postal Service, United Parcel Service, and FedEx) is not subject to New York sales tax, but if it is delivered into any state in which Bonhams is registered or otherwise conducts business sufficient to establish a nexus, Bonhams may be required by law to collect and remit the appropriate sales tax in effect in such state. Property collected for delivery outside of the United States by a freightforwarder who is registered with the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) is not subject to New York sales tax.
LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION If within one (1) year from the date of sale, the original buyer (a) gives written notice to us alleging that the identification of Authorship (as defined below) of such lot as set forth in the UPPERCASE TYPE heading of the catalog description of such lot (as amended by any saleroom notices or verbal announcements during the sale) is not substantially correct based on a fair reading of the catalog (including the terms of any glossary contained therein), and (b) within ten (10) days after such notice returns the lot to us in the same condition as at the time of sale, and (c) establishes the allegation in the notice to our satisfaction (including by providing one or more written opinions by recognized experts in the field, as we may reasonably require), then the sale of such lot will be rescinded and, unless we have already paid to the seller monies owed him in connection with the sale, the original purchase price will be refunded. If, prior to receiving such notice from the original buyer alleging such defect, we have paid the seller monies owed him in connection with the sale, we shall pay the original buyer the amount of our commissions, any other sale proceeds to which we are entitled and applicable taxes received from the buyer on the sale and make demand on the seller to pay the balance of the original purchase price to the original buyer. Should the seller fail to pay such amount promptly, we may disclose the identity of the seller and assign to the original buyer our rights against the seller with respect to the lot the sale of which is sought to be rescinded. Upon such disclosure and assignment, any liability of Bonhams as seller’s agent with respect to said lot shall automatically terminate. The foregoing limited right of rescission is available to the original buyer only and may not be assigned to or relied upon by any subsequent transferee of the property sold. The buyer hereby accepts the benefit of the seller’s warranty of title and other representations and warranties made by the seller for the buyer’s benefit. Nothing in this section shall be construed as an admission by us of any representation of fact, express or implied, obligation or responsibility with respect to any lot. THE BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BONHAMS FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER IS THE LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. “Authorship” means only the identity of the creator, the period, culture and source or origin of the lot, as the case may be, as set forth in the UPPERCASE TYPE heading of the catalog entry for the lot. The right of rescission does not extend to: (a) works of art executed before 1870 (unless these works are determined to be counterfeits created since 1870), as this is a matter of current scholarly opinion which can change; (b) Chinese, Japanese and Korean paintings and calligraphy (unless, within 21 days of the sale of any such lot, the original buyer gives written notice to Bonhams alleging that the lot is a counterfeit and within ten (10) days after giving
such notice returns the lot to us in the same condition as at the time of sale and demonstrates to our satisfaction that the lot is a counterfeit), as current scholarship in these respective fields does not permit unqualified statements as to Authorship or date of execution; (c) titles, descriptions, or other identification of offered lots, which information normally appears in lower case type below the UPPERCASE TYPE heading identifying the Authorship; (d) Authorship of any lot where it was specifically mentioned that there exists a conflict of specialist or scholarly opinion regarding the Authorship of the lot at the time of sale; (e) Authorship of any lot which as of the date of sale was in accordance with the then generally-accepted opinion of scholars and specialists regarding the same; or (f) the identification of periods or dates of creation in catalog descriptions which may be proven inaccurate by means of scientific processes that are not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalog in which the property is offered or that were unreasonably expensive or impractical to use at the time of such publication. For purposes of subsections (a) and (b) above, “counterfeit” is defined as a work created with intent to deceive.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE, ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD “AS IS.” NEITHER BONHAMS NOR THE SELLER MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR AS TO THE CORRECTNESS OF DESCRIPTION, GENUINENESS, ATTRIBUTION, PROVENANCE OR PERIOD OF THE PROPERTY OR AS TO WHETHER THE BUYER ACQUIRES ANY COPYRIGHTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN LOTS SOLD OR AS TO WHETHER A WORK OF ART IS SUBJECT TO THE ARTIST’S MORAL RIGHTS OR OTHER RESIDUAL RIGHTS OF THE ARTIST. THE BUYER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL BONHAMS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COMPENSATORY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF BONHAMS AND ITS SELLER TO A BUYER EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE ACTUALLY PAID FOR A DISPUTED ITEM OF PROPERTY.

LOT SYMBOLS KEY The lot symbols used in the catalog have the following meanings: ¤ No Reserve Unless indicated by the ¤ symbol next to the lot number (or bearing an explicit statement such as “No Reserve” or “Without Reserve”), which denotes no reserve, all lots in the catalog are subject to a reserve. The reserve is the minimum hammer price that the seller is willing to accept for a lot. This amount is confidential and does not exceed the low estimate value. ▲ Bonhams’ Ownership Interest in Property Offered at Auction The ▲ symbol indicates that Bonhams or one of its affiliated companies within the Bonhams Group US/MAIN/30.4.2025
Conditions of Sale - continued owns the lot in whole or in part or has an economic interest equivalent to an ownership interest in the lot. ∏ Bidding by Interested Parties We will mark the lost with the ∏ symbol when a party with a direct or indirect interest in the lot who may have knowledge of the lot’s reserve or other material information may be bidding on the lot. Such interested parties may be beneficiaries of an estate that consigned the lot or a joint owner of a lot. Any interested party who is recognized as the successful bidder on a lot must pay the purchase price in full and is subject to these Conditions of Sale. ○ Guaranteed Property/Third Party Irrevocable Bid The ○ symbol indicates that the seller of the lot has been guaranteed a minimum price for its property by Bonhams or by a third party, or jointly by Bonhams and a third party (called third party guarantor). Such guaranteed minimum price may apply only to the lot or on an aggregate basis to all or a portion of the seller’s consigned property, which may be offered in one or more auctions. Bonhams and/or any third parties providing a guarantee may benefit financially if the guaranteed property is sold successfully and may incur a financial loss if its sale is not successful. The third party guarantor typically provides an irrevocable written bid on the guaranteed lot prior to the auction at a level that ensures the lot will sell. If there are competing bids at the auction, the third party guarantor may also bid a higher amount than the irrevocable bid submitted. In exchange for sharing or assuming in full this risk, Bonhams may compensate the third party guarantor by paying it a fixed and/or contingent financing fee based on the hammer price achieved. Where the third party guarantor is the successful bidder on the lot, the financing fee for providing the bid may be netted against the full purchase price owing, and in such
case Bonhams will report the purchase price net of such financing fee. Third party guarantors are required by Bonhams to disclose their financial interest to anyone whom they are advising in connection with the guaranteed lot. Ω Import Duty The Ω symbol indicates that the lot is subject to US Customs duty or tariff and/or related import fees payable by the buyer as part of the purchase price. Please refer to the Specialist Department managing the auction for details. Y Restricted Materials A lot with the Y symbol has been identified at the time of cataloguing as made of or containing certain restricted plant or animal material such as tortoiseshell, coral, whalebone, Brazilian rosewood or certain types of reptilian or other exotic skins, fur or feathers woods that may be subject to import or export restrictions or may otherwise require the granting of one or more export or import licenses or certificates, or that may be subject to similar restrictions regulating intrastate or interstate transport or trade within the United States at the state or federal level, or may be banned from export or import altogether by some countries. Please refer to paragraph 10 in the Conditions of Sale or to the Specialist Department managing the auction for details. ↂ Lot Shown with a Display-Only Part A lot with the ↂ symbol may be pictured or displayed with a component, such as a stand, a watchband, or snuff bottle stopper, that is shown for display purposes only and is not part of the lot being offered for sale. In certain instance, the display-only component may be made of or incorporate restricted materials and may be available for personal pick-up, free of charge (separate from the purchased lot) from the saleroom location where the lot was sold. Please refer to paragraph 10 in the Conditions of Sale or to the Specialist Department managing the auction for details.
W Oversized Lot The W symbol indicates that the lot is oversized or otherwise such that it must be collected from our designated warehouse. Please refer to the Offsite Sold Property Storage section of the Buyer’s Guide for details. P Premium (“Purple Paddle”) Lot Subject to Restricted Bidding Lots bearing the “P” symbol will not be available for online bidding, and bidders wishing to register to bid on such lots must do so in advance and may be required to provide a bank letter of reference or other credentials in advance of being permitted to bid on the lot. If you will not be attending the auction in person, contact the Specialist Department managing the auction or Bonhams’ Client Service Office at least one business day in advance of the auction date to arrange a telephone bid or an absentee bid. Lot symbols appear adjacent to the subject lot number in the catalog and are provided as a convenience to bidders; we do not accept any liability for errors or omissions in marking lots.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO BIDDERS Starting on June 28, 2025, the import into the European Union (“EU”) of non-EU origin property of a certain age (and in some categories, property above a certain value) is subject to additional EU regulatory requirements. It is the Buyer’s sole and exclusive responsibility to investigate whether property (including any lot) meets the requisite regulatory criteria for import into the EU and to obtain any relevant import(er) license or statement. Please note that this process is governed by local authorities and may take time. Regardless of any delay in the obtaining of an import(er) license or statement, or denial thereof, purchased lots shall be paid for in accordance with the Conditions of Sale, and any such delay or denial shall not serve as the basis for cancellation or rescission of any sale. Prospective buyers are advised to obtain information from the relevant regulatory authorities regarding import restrictions, requirements, and costs prior to bidding. Certain third-party agents may be available to assist the buyer in attempting to obtain the appropriate import(er) license or statement, however, there is no assurance that any necessary licenses or statements can be obtained.

Buyer’s Guide BUYING AND BIDDING AT AUCTION
Whether you are an experienced bidder or an enthusiastic novice, auctions provide a stimulating atmosphere unlike any other. Bonhams previews and sales are free and open to the public. As you will find in these directions, bidding and buying at auction is easy and exciting. Should you have any further questions, please visit our website at www.bonhams.com or contact our Client Services Department at Tel: 1-800-959- 4383 (toll free, within the US) or Tel: 1-908-707-0077 (outside the US).
Catalogs Before each auction we publish illustrated catalogs. Our catalogs provide descriptions and estimated values for each “lot.” A lot may refer to a single item or to a group of items auctioned together. The catalogs also include the dates and the times for the previews and auctions. We offer our catalogs by subscription or by single copy. For information on subscribing to our catalogs, you may refer to the subscription form in this catalog, call our Client Services Department, or visit our website at www.bonhams.com/us. Previews Auction previews are your chance to inspect each lot prior to the auction. We encourage you to look closely and examine each object on which you may want to bid so that you will know as much as possible about it. Except as expressly set forth in the Conditions of Sale, items are sold “as is” and with all faults; illustrations in our catalogs, website and other materials are provided for identification only. At the previews, our staff is always available to answer your questions and guide you through the auction process. Condition reports may be available upon request and are strongly recommended for all intending bidders who cannot view the property in person. Estimates Bonhams’ catalogs include low and high value estimates for each lot, exclusive of the buyer’s premium and tax. The estimates are provided as an approximate guide to current market value based primarily on previous auction results for comparable pieces, and should not be interpreted as a representation or prediction of actual selling prices. They are determined well in advance of a sale and are subject to revision. Please contact us should you have any questions about value estimates Reserve Unless indicated by the ¤ symbol next to the lot number, which denotes no reserve, all lots in the catalog are subject to a reserve. The reserve is the minimum auction price that the seller is willing to accept for a lot. This amount is confidential and does not exceed the low estimate value. Auction House’s Interest in Property Offered at Auction On occasion, Bonhams may offer property in which it has an ownership interest in whole or in part or otherwise has an economic interest. Such property, if any, is identified in the catalog with a ▲ symbol next to the lot number(s). Bonhams may also offer property for a seller that has been guaranteed a minimum price for its property by Bonhams or jointly by Bonhams and a third party. Bonhams and any third parties providing a guarantee may benefit financially if the guaranteed property is sold successfully and may incur a financial loss if its sale is not successful. Such property, if any, is identified in the catalog with a ○ symbol next to the lot number(s). Bidding at Auction You must be 18 years old or over to bid. At Bonhams, you can bid in many ways: in person, via absentee bid, over the phone, or via Bonhams’ live online bidding facility. Absentee bids can be submitted in person, online, or via email. Irrespective of previous bidding activity a valid Bonhams’ client account is required to participate in bidding activity. You will be required to provide government issued proof of identity, proof of residence, and if you are a company, your certificate of incorporation or equivalent documentation with your name and registered address, proof of your current address, documentary proof of your beneficial owners and directors, and proof of authority to transact. We may also request a financial reference and/or deposit from you
before allowing you to bid. By bidding at auction, whether in person or by agent, by absentee bid, telephone, online or other means, the buyer or bidder agrees to be bound by the Conditions of Sale. Lots are auctioned in consecutive numerical order as they appear in the catalog. Bidding normally begins below the low estimate. The auctioneer will accept bids from interested parties present in the saleroom, from telephone bidders, from online bidders, and from absentee bidders who have left written bids in advance of the sale. The auctioneer (or, for online-only sales, Bonhams’ online bidding system) may also execute bids on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, but never above it. We assume no responsibility for failure to execute bids for any reason whatsoever. In Person If you are planning to bid at auction for the first time, you will need to register at the reception desk in order to receive a numbered bid card. To place a bid, hold up your card so that the auctioneer can clearly see it. Decide on the maximum auction price that you wish to pay, exclusive of buyer’s premium and tax, and continue bidding until your bid prevails or you reach your limit. If you are the successful bidder on a lot, the auctioneer will acknowledge your paddle number and bid amount. Absentee Bids As a service to those wishing to place bids, we may at our discretion accept bids without charge in advance of auction online or in writing on bidding forms available from us. “Buy” bids will not be accepted; all bids must state the highest hammer price the bidder is willing to pay. Our auction staff will try to bid just as you would, with the goal of obtaining the item at the lowest hammer price possible. In the event identical bids are submitted, the earliest bid submitted will take precedence. Absentee bids shall be executed in competition with other absentee bids, any applicable reserve, and bids from other auction participants. A friend or agent may place bids on your behalf, provided that we have received your written authorization prior to the sale. Absentee bid forms are available in our catalogs, online at www.bonhams.com/ us, at offsite auction locations and at our Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York galleries.

Buyer’s Guide - continued Currency Converter Solely for the convenience of bidders, a currency converter may be provided at Bonhams’ auctions. The rates quoted for conversion of other currencies to U.S. Dollars are indications only and should not be relied upon by a bidder, and neither Bonhams nor its agents shall be responsible for any errors or omissions in the operation or accuracy of the currency converter. Buyer’s Premium A buyer’s premium is added to the winning hammer price of each individual lot purchased, at the rates set forth in the Conditions of Sale. The winning hammer price plus the premium constitute the purchase price for the lot. Applicable sales taxes are computed based on this figure, and the total becomes your final purchase price. Unless specifically illustrated and noted, fine art frames are not included in the estimate or purchase price. Bonhams accepts no liability for damage or loss to frames during storage or shipment. All sales are final and subject to the Conditions of Sale found in our catalogs, on our website, and available at the reception desk. Payment Payment may be made to Bonhams by cash, checks drawn on a U.S. bank, money order, wire transfer, or by Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover credit or charge card or debit card. All items must be paid for within five (5) business days of the sale. Please note that payment by personal or business check may result in property not being released until purchase funds clear our bank. Sales Tax Buyers must pay applicable sales tax. Other state or local taxes (or compensation use taxes) may apply. Sales tax will be automatically added to the invoice if Bonhams is required to collect and remit sales tax in the subject jurisdiction based on our local nexus and applicable law, unless a valid resale number has been furnished. If you wish to use your resale license please contact the Client Services Department for our form. Regulated Species Materials The export of a lot from the United States or import into certain countries may be subject to export or import regulations, licensure and/or other restrictions; in particular, lots containing plant or animal materials such as tortoiseshell, coral, whalebone, Brazilian rosewood or certain types of reptilian or other exotic skins, fur or feathers, irrespective of age or value, may require the granting of one or more export or import licenses or certificates, or may be banned from import altogether by some countries. Moreover, the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country. Lots that contain such regulated species materials may also not be eligible for exportation or for re-importation into the United States. In addition, resales of lots containing certain regulated species materials may be subject to restrictions in some jurisdictions. Lots noted in the catalog with a “Y” next to the lot number contain one or more such regulated plant or animal materials, however lots containing regulated material may lack the Y notation. It is the buyer’s responsibility to investigate any such restrictions and to obtain any relevant export or import licenses. Please note that this process is governed by local authorities and may take considerable time. Regardless of any delay in the obtaining of an export/import license or certificate or denial thereof, purchased lots shall be
paid for in accordance with the Conditions of Sale, and any such delay or denial shall not serve as the basis for cancellation of any sale. Prospective buyers are advised to obtain information from the relevant regulatory authorities regarding export and import restrictions, requirements, and costs prior to bidding. Prospective buyers should also check with their local (e.g. state) regulatory authorities regarding any local restrictions and/or permit requirements that may apply with respect to purchases of regulated species materials. Certain third-party agents may be available to assist the buyer in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates. However, there is no assurance that any necessary licenses or certificates can be obtained. Please contact the relevant Specialist Department for a suggested list of shipping agents prior to placing a bid if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to export/import license or certificate requirements or related restrictions. COLLECTION OF PURCHASES Scheduling an appointment and payment in full prior to arrival will facilitate the quick release of your property. For your convenience, pre-allocated 30-minute collection time slots are available by appointment Monday through Friday between 9am – 4:30pm local time.
