34 [MEXICAN WAR]. Quarter plate daguerreotype portrait of Thompson Darrah Shaw, USN, with sword presented to him for gallantry at Veracruz, 1847.

Seated portrait of Thompson Darrah Shaw wearing a double-breasted frock coat having 2 rows of 9 anchor buttons, with minimal rank insignia. He wears dress epaulettes and holds his presentation M1841 eagle head naval officer’s sword with both hands. Housed in a fully separated leatherette case.

The presentation sword Darrah holds bears pearl grips and a gilded scabbard - both being embellishments over the standard model. According to the records of the Ames Sword Company, the sword was ordered from Ames on 16 December 1847 by an unknown military outfitter listed as “B. & Co., Phila” (likely Bailey and Company) at a cost of $150. Parenthetically, Ames supplied no fewer than 122 “presentation” swords to both army and navy Mexican War recipients.

An article in Philadelphia’s The Public Ledger and Daily Transcript, dated 29 February 1848, notes that the sword and a pair of epaulets were presented

AMERICAN HISTORICAL EPHEMERA & PHOT0GRAPHY

to Lieutenant Shaw on 22 February 1848 for his command of the US schooner Petrel in the Gulf of Mexico during the Mexican War and in high appreciation of his gallant and meritorious conduct on the boisterous and perilous station. The sword is currently housed at the US Naval Academy Museum at Annapolis.

Thompson Darrah Shaw (1801-1874) commanded the Petrel during the Mexican War. Ironically, the Petrel was under construction in New York City for the Mexican Navy before being purchased by the US Navy on the outbreak of war. Petrel, with Shaw in command, served prominently - and with distinction - in the storied “Mosquito Fleet” during 1846-1847 inshore operations against Vera Cruz and environs. Petrel was engaged at Alvarado (July/August 1846), Tampico (November 1846), Vera Cruz (March 1847) and Tuxpan (April 1847). Shaw was later promoted to Commander in August 1850.

35 [MEXICAN WAR]. Quarter plate hand-tinted daguerreotype of a militiaman wearing a wheel cap and holding a militia officer’s sword.

Seated portrait of a long-haired young militia junior officer in bold bluetinted blue dress uniform with bullion epaulettes, round tongue and wreath belt plate, and Model 1839 wheel cap with light-colored wide band. He holds a straight-bladed eagle head militia officer’s sword with a high-relief cast quillon. Housed in a fully separated pressed paper case. An arresting Mexican War-era image.

Early Photography Collection of Jules Martino, Silverton, Oregon $1,200 - 1,600

36 [MEXICAN WAR]. Sixth plate daguerreotype portrait of a uniformed soldier holding a tricorn hat and Bowie knife.

Seated portrait of a young soldier, possibly a Texas volunteer, displaying his tricorn hat with large 5-point star and tassels as well as his sheathed Bowie knife, proudly holding both against his chest. Housed in a leatherette case.

The soldier featured here could be a Texas volunteer from the Mexican War period. Being directly on the frontier, Texas supplied numerous companies organized into two mounted regiments known as the Regiment of Texas Mounted Volunteers and the East Texas Rangers. Additionally, there were companies of veteran Texas Rangers who had fought Indians, Mexicans, and outlaws for years. Texas was strongly associated with the ubiquitous Bowie knife and every newspaper account describing Texas volunteers includes the mention of a large knife of some sort. The Texas Rangers were perhaps the best uniformed of the lot, described as wearing “dragoon jackets fastened with buttons upon which were a single star and the word “TEXAS.” As a whole, the Texas volunteers were irregularly dressed, according to contemporary newspaper accounts, making it impossible to determine the precise origin of this young soldier, though a Texas connection seems likely based on his uniform, the tasseled star, and the knife he holds.

Quarter plate daguerreotype portrait of a grinning naval officer holding a walking stick, his insignia, vest, and coat buttons highlighted in gold.

The Navy List shows him as Assistant Surgeon 8/11/1847, Passed Assistant Surgeon 4/22/1854, died in service (cause unknown) 10/7/1859. His shoulder straps (1852 Regulations) indicate the rank of Assistant Surgeon, dating the image to the 1847-1854 period.

45 [CIVIL WAR - MCPHERSON, JAMES B. (1828-1864)]. Ninth plate daguerreotype portrait of General James Birdseye McPherson. [With:] 2 CDVs, one showing the building where McPherson was lain in state.

2 5/16 x 1 13/16 oval daguerreotype half portrait of James B. McPherson, featured wearing epaulettes and possible Corps of Engineers buttons. He sports a goatee and an otherwise fresh face. Housed in an oval velvet pushbutton case. While details of McPherson’s buttons are largely indecipherable, the engineers’ eagle and fort motif is plausible when viewed under magnification.

[With:] CDV bird’s eye view of Chattanooga, showing the flag-draped building where General McPherson’s body lay in state. [Chattanooga]: Cressey, Adams & Co., Headquarter Photographers, Army of Cumberland, ca July 1864. 2 3/16 x 3 5/8 in. CDV on cardstock mount. Photographer’s stamp on verso along with pencil inscription incorrectly identifying the scene. Mount recto with penciled dates “1861-1865.”

McPherson’s death was a major loss for the Union, provoking heartfelt responses not only from the Army’s highest leadership including Generals Sherman and Grant, but even from his opponent, General Hood, who remembered him fondly as hi “classmate and boyhood friend.” McPherson was the second highest ranking Union officer to be killed in action during the war, and he remained an enigma after his death, inspiring various commemorations and even alternate histories exploring what might have happened if he had not fallen.

We know of no other daguerreotype portraits of McPherson in existence.

Early Photography Collection of Jules Martino, Silverton, Oregon $4,000 - 6,000

After General McPherson was killed on 22 July 1864 at the Battle of Atlanta, his body was taken to the Kennedy-Nottingham House in Chattanooga, where McPherson remained lying in state from 23-25 July.

[Also with:] CDV vignetted bust portrait of James B. McPherson as major general. Corinth, MS: Armstead & Taylor, n.d. 2 3/16 x 3 7/16 in. CDV on cardstock mount. Photographer’s imprint on verso along with penciled identification. McPherson is featured here wearing his major general’s straps and frock coat.

The able but ambitious General James. B. McPherson (1828-1864) attained corps command under his friend and mentor General William Tecumseh Sherman, and was given Sherman’s old Army of the Tennessee in the build-up to the Atlanta campaign. After 2 months of attempted attacks by McPherson and evasive maneuvering by Confederate forces under the leadership of General Joseph Johnston, CSA President Jefferson Davis replaced Johnston with McPherson’s old West Point classmate, General John Bell Hood, who almost immediately launched an attack against Union forces on 22 July 1864. McPherson was caught by skirmishers who shot and killed him as he attempted to escape to Sherman’s headquarters.

He spent time posted in San Francisco. After the war, Hardie served in various posts. He spent time in Portland, OR (Vancouver Barracks, Department of the Columbia or Department of Oregon). When the Civil War broke out, Hardie served with distinction throughout the war, attaining the rank of brigadier and major generals. He served on McClellan’s staff during the Peninsular and Maryland campaigns, and under Burnside in the battles around Fredericksburg. After the Civil War, Hardie was a colonel in the army. He went to the Lava Beds in California and was involved in the inquiry into the killing of General E.R.S. Canby by Modoc Chief Captain Jack and others during a peace parlay.

This lot is located in Cincinnati.

59 [CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate ambrotype of Frank M. Chamberlin, Co. I, 79th New York Volunteers. N.p., ca 1862.

Seated portrait of a youthful soldier wearing a regulation 4-button sack coat and having a beautiful blue-tinted infantry greatcoat draped draped over his arm. Housed in a half pressed paper case. Pencil inscription on case interior reads, “March 1862, Frank M Chamberlin, Co I. 79th NY Vols, Highlanders.”

The 79th New York Infantry Regiment was the successor of the lavishly attired Cameron Highlanders of NYC, a militia unit that wore traditional Scottish dress.

Frank M. Chamberlin claimed to be 21 upon enlistment on 7 March 1862, but given his very youthful appearance in this portrait, it is likely he was a teenager who falsified his age in order to enlist. Private Chamberlain was captured during the slugfest on James Island (Battle of Secessionville) on 16 June 1862, but was quickly paroled two days later. He would be promoted to corporal and sergeant before mustering out on 6 March 1865. $500 - 700

60 [CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate tintype and CDV of Pvt. Watson W. Beach, 117th New York Infantry Regiment, MIA at Fort Gilmer.

Watson W. Beach enlisted as a private at Augusta, NY on 12 August 1862.

He mustered into Company G of the 117th New York Infantry Regiment the following day. 2 years later, on 29 September 1864, he was later reported as “missing” after the Battle of Fort Gilmer (aka New Market Heights, aka Chapin’s Farm). The heavy fighting at Fort Gilmer was a result of Grant’s 2-pronged offensive against the Richmond defenses. The northern thrust above the James River consisted of the X Corps attacking the fort on the New Market Road. The attack failed and Private Beach became one of 5 men missing in addition to regimental losses comprising 2 killed, 11 wounded and 3 prisoners.

Tragically, it seemed 23-year-old Watson Beach had simply vanished among the detritus of war.

A “Final Statement” regarding Private Beach, dated 9 June 1865, concludes that the young soldier “Died of wounds received in action Sept 29th 1864,” and that he was due 75 dollars from the United States Government. $800 - 1,200

61 [CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate tintype of a young soldier, possibly from New York, with a large star and “E” insignia on his cap.

Charming group portrait featuring a middle-aged soldier with craggy complexion and chin beard, posed with a younger man and a pre-teen or teenage boy, likely his sons. Housed in a half pressed paper case.

The private wears a regulation nine button frock coat made formal for the occasion with an oversize silk cravat together with a pork-pie hat which features a feather or bit of fur that is only just visible above the upturned brim. The latter is suggestive of perhaps a Pennsylvania Bucktail, though this attribution cannot be confirmed. $400 - 600

63 [CIVIL WAR]. Sixth plate tintype of a Union soldier, likely western theater, smoking with a unique smoking apparatus.

Casual portrait of a seated federal soldier wearing a rare gray shirt, visible under his unbuttoned frock coat, and a Hardee hat with gold-highlighted hunting horn (infantry) insignia.

Wheeler is recorded as an 18-year-old confectioner from Boston, who enlisted in August of 1861 as a private. He served for nearly 3 years in Company I of the 16th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment with which he fought and was wounded at the Battle of Fredericksburg in December of 1862. He was transferred to Company F, 11th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment on 11 July 1864, a little over a month before being discharged on 30 August. $500 - 700

The company mustered in at Columbus, Ohio on 17 December 1863 and reported to the Secretary of War in Washington, DC later that month. The company served exclusively in Washington and environs “with strong details being placed near the President’s house, the Treasury Building, (and) the War Office.”

Hughes must have personally come into contact with Lincoln before mustering out on 9 September 1865. $700 - 900

Sixth plate ambrotype of Taliaferro “Tally” Simpson seated against a simple studio backdrop, posed holding shotgun in one hand while trying to keep his dog in place, who appears slightly blurred as a result of moving. Simpson is shown in civilian attire, wearing a top hat, bowtie, overcoat, and vest. He has both a shot pouch and powder flask, indicating that he is ready for the hunt. Housed in a half pressed paper case, with penciled and inked notations behind the image (many indiscernible) with the exception of the name “Taliaferro Simpson.”

A small name card, approx. 1 3/4 x 5/8 in., was also discovered inside the case, which is signed (“Taliaferro N. Simpson”). Simpson’s middle name was originally Calhoun, but research indicates that he later dropped the “Calhoun” and adopted the practice of including “N.” as his middle initial, apparently meant to signify “no middle name.” (Information obtained from Clemson University website, 2 November 2023.)

Provenance: Estate of David and Ann Hawkins, Johnson City, Tennessee; Keith Jennings, Old Fort, North Carolina.

Taliaferro Simpson was the son of South Carolina Congressman Richard F. Simpson.

114 [CIVIL WAR]. YANCEY, William Lowndes (1814-1863). Leader of the Southern “Fire-Eaters.” Autograph letter signed (“W.L. Yancey”), to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Richmond, [VA], 6 April 1862.

ENDORSED AND INITIALED BY DAVIS. 3 1/4 pages, on bifolium, 7 7/8 x 12 3/16 in. Mounted to larger sheet along folded edge, old folds, light toning and ink staining to back page. Docketed and endorsed (“J.D.”) by Jefferson Davis on verso.

Yancey writes regarding the procurement of arms from Europe, claiming “a full personal knowledge” of the capacities of European manufacturers to supply arms. Yancey points out the conflict between arms procurement agent Caleb Huse’s prejudice for “the most superior rifled arms,” and the European market’s ability to provide those weapons. He notes, however, that there are plenty of smooth bore muskets to be obtained in Europe “if the pains is taken to find them.

He advises CSA President Davis that additional officers should be put to the task of obtaining arms contracts with European manufacturers in order to supply the great abundance of arms the Confederacy will need moving forward. He secondly advises that more money will need to be sent in advance to pay and keep these contracts.

Yancey calls out the calamity that would have befallen the CSA due to an earlier shortage of said funds: “I notice in Mr Memminger’s statement of amounts of money sent to the Agents of the War Depm’t, that in the most

critical period of our contracts in England, that between 25th Sept. and 19th January, near 4 months, he only sent $1,031.00. The consequence was that Capt Huse had to beg an advance from S. Isaac, Campbell & Co to amount of half a million dollars. Had this house not have generously aided us, we should have lost every contract, and with them some 50,000 muskets delivered in that period & since.”

Turning to the apparent plans to bolster CSA forces with additional soldiers, Yancey spells out his fervent recommendation: “If we are to arm 200,000 additional men - or rather obtain 2 or 300,000 more muskets by fall, not only will you be compelled to send additional officers, imbued fully with your ideas, but a million of dollars a month, in advance.”

He ends by couching his fervency with deference, requesting Davis’s pardon and maintaining that his own suggestions are borne from solemn duty.

Davis’s endorsement reads: “Secty of War, for attention and conference with Secty of Treasy. with a view to consultation &c.”

Highly influential and prominent Southern politician William Lowndes Yancey was a vocal proponent for secession, authoring the Alabama ordinance of secession which was passed in January of 1861. He was also chosen to head the ultimately unsuccessful commission to present the Confederate cause to the governments of England and France later that year. He was elected to the first Confederate States Senate in February of 1862, and died the following year at his plantation home near Montgomery, Alabama. $4,000 - 6,000

127 [CIVIL WAR]. Extensive collection of photographs, correspondence, ribbons, and medals associated with the life, service, and political career of Brigadier General John Cleveland Robinson, including his Colt revolver.

A collection of approx. 150 items tracing John C. Robinson’s career from a young soldier through the Civil War and Reconstruction, as well as his postwar political endeavors and duties as President of the Society of Potomac and Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. Throughout his military career, Robinson received five wartime brevets including Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Spotsylvania, plus a Medal of Honor for Laurel Hill awarded in 1894.

John Cleveland Robinson (1817-1897) was born in Binghamton, NY, and entered the military academy at West Point at the age of 18. After three years at the military academy, he was expelled for insubordination in 1838 and left to study law. Within a year, Binghamton joined the regular army, receiving a commission as 2nd lieutenant in the 5th Infantry. He served through the Mexican War in the Quartermaster’s Department and saw action at Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterrey, and Mexico City. After duty in Texas, promotion to captain in 1850, and service in the Seminole Wars and the 1857 Utah Expedition, he assumed command of Fort McHenry, in Baltimore, Maryland. With a force of 60 men inside the fort, he made a show of force against Maryland secessionists during the Baltimore Riots, on 19 April 1861, preventing the fort’s seizure.

In September 1861 he was sent on recruiting duty in the Midwest, raised the 1st Michigan Volunteers, and was elected its colonel. Soon after, Robinson received a commission as a major of the 2nd US Infantry. In March 1862, he was commissioned a brigadier general of volunteers on 28 April 1862 and soon joined Major General George B. McClellan’s army for the Peninsula Campaign as a member of the III Corps. Leading the 1st Brigade, 1st Division, he fought through Second Bull Run and Fredericksburg, then assumed leadership of the 2nd Division, I Corps for the Battle of Chancellorsville. At Gettysburg, Robinson fought a stiff delaying action and brought the survivors of the depleted 1st Corps off the field in good order allowing for the line to be consolidated. While commanding a division in the 5th Corps, this gallant officer lost his left leg while leading a forlorn charge at Spotsylvania on 8 May 1864, and was never again fit for field command. He retired from active service in the field, but for his conspicuous bravery in this action, he received the Medal of Honor (28 March 1894) and was brevetted a major general.

After the Civil War, Robinson ran the Freedmen’s Bureau in North Carolina in 1866, the Department of the South in 1867, the Department of the Lakes in 1868, and received disability retirement in May 1869 as a full major general of Regulars. Elected Lieutenant Governor of New York in 1872, he served until 1874, and became active in the leadership of the Society of the Army of the Potomac and the Grand Army of the Republic until overtaken by blindness in 1893.

One of the centerpieces of the collection is John C. Robinson’s 1851 Colt Navy revolver housed in a case identified in period pencil on the bottom to 56

AMERICAN HISTORICAL EPHEMERA & PHOT0GRAPHY

“Gen’l John C. Robinson.” The revolver is accompanied by a letter outlining the provenance of the revolver, which was acquired directly from the Robinson family together with a handwritten history of General Robinson (also included with the lot).

The collection features several Civil War-period and immediate post-war items associated with Robinson and his service. Highlights include: 2 CDVs of Robinson in uniform, each taken by Brady’s studio and published by E. & H.T. Anthony (one with 2-cent US Internal Revenue stamp on verso). – 2 clipped signatures (“Jno. C. Robinson”) as Brigadier General and Brevet Major General respectively. – At least 3 war-date autograph letters or notes signed

Robinson, 1st Mich. Infantry. 11 x 6 ½ in. lithograph published by L.N. Rosenthal, 1861. – 7pp. ALS from Lt.

Robinson as Major-General Commanding, 5 December 1866. – Used postal cover from the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, which was under the leadership of Robinson in 1866.

Six (6) items involving Ulysses S. Grant are also enclosed, most notably an autograph note signed (“U.S. Grant”) as lieutenant general, in which he writes to General Robinson, “I will be very glad of the company of General Robinson on the trip to Fortress Monroe. General Meade’s authorization will be required, however. An extra train leaves here at 8 AM tomorrow.” The

note is accompanied by a US Military Telegraph form authorizing Robinson’s permission to accompany Grant to Fortress Monroe from “S. Williams, AAG.” Headquarters, Army of the Potomac, 30 March 1864. This telegram dates Grant’s note to 28 or 29 March 1864. A rare ANS written by Grant soon after becoming Commander in Chief of the Union Army. Also included are CDVs of U.S. Grant (J. Gurney & Son, Chicago) and George Meade (Wood & Brother, Albany, NY), a ½ in. dia. ferrotype pinback featuring portrait of Grant, and a 1 ¾ in. dia. celluloid button for the Grant Monument Inaugural in New York, April 1897.

60+ ribbons, medals, badges, and tokens are included, many commemorating GAR reunions, dedications, memorials, and other events involving veterans.

Highlights include: 2 ribbons from Maj. Gen. John C. Robinson Camp No. 22, Binghamton, NY, dated June 1891, featuring a portrait of Robinson. – “Veteran” medal for Doubleday and Robinson statue dedications. – GAR membership badge. -- Gettysburg anniversary and reunion ribbons and medals. – Ribbons and badges from encampments held by the Department of New York GAR. – Society of the Army of Potomac ribbons and badges, with program from a banquet held in Cleveland, OH in 1872. -- National Encampment Stevengraph applied to original manufacturer’s paper backing. – GAR Chicago 1893 Stevengraph featuring portrait of Grant. – In Memoriam ribbons.

130 [CIVIL WAR]. [CHAMBERLAIN, Joshua L. (1828-1914)]. Autograph letter signed (“J.L. Chamberlain”). “Beyond Culpepper...” 24 September 1863.

3 pages, 7 7/8 x 10 in. Creased at old folds, light toning in spots.

Writing from “Head Quarters 3d Brigade 1st Div. 5th Corps, Beyond Culpepper, but just [indecipherable],” Chamberlain discloses that he just finished a letter to the same recipient, but has decided to “write something else,” and to throw the previous one in the fire. He mentions that his troops are on the move, with “Eight days rations on our backs. nobody knows what for or [indecipherable], but all are ready for anything, but inaction.”

He continues: “We fellows out here are right, we are for the country, for the Govt. for the administration as, in time of war, the only tangible representative. In fact as the impersonation of the country I don’t express that quite to my mind but I have an idea there that I’m willing to fight for now, & talk about by & by.”

Most likely referring to the recent victory of Maine’s Republican gubernatorial candidate, Samuel Cony, Chamberlain writes: “Yes, Maine did well, but I am ashamed, after all, that so many men - grown people should have publicly proclaimed themselves against us. We who risk all for our country. Don’t beg for peace. There are nobler things than peace, & dearer things than life.” For one I shall fight till the authority of the Gov. is vindicated, & ‘peace’ can be founded on truth & honor.”

Chamberlain then discusses his regiment, the 20th Maine Infantry, along with its leadership, writing: The 20th is small but terrible...Maj. Spear in command. I wish I could get Capt. Keene back. We need him. I wouldn’t be surprised if Col Gilmore should resign before long. We shall be in a campaign soon which will be too much for his powers.”

At the time of this letter, Chamberlain had been given command of a brigade in the V Corps as a result of his gallant leadership at the Battle of Gettysburg. Chamberlain notes that General Griffin has called his leadership of the brigade “permanent,” but Chamberlain himself seems to suppose it might not be. In reality, Chamberlain would retain command of the brigade through the end of the war. Chamberlain writes that he has received “some very kind & complimentary letters in regard to the Gettysburg affair,” and that he would rather have “rich testimony than promotion.”

A postscript, initialed by Chamberlain, discusses postage. $1,500 - 2,500

163 [CIVIL WAR]. Silk standard identified to the 1st Massachusetts Light Battery.

Ca mid-to-late 1860s.

Silken standard, approx. 36 1/2 in. high x 48 in. wide, edged with yellow silk fringe, approx. 2 in. (wear throughout, including areas of separation in silk, tears, holes, some loss to hoist end, soiling). Both sides are hand-painted on a red ground and feature a patriotic shield with “1” and crossed cannon, surrounded by red riband, which reads, “Ense Petit Placidam Sub Libertate Quietem.” The shield is flanked by bundles of wheat and acanthus leaves, with disembodied armored sword arm at top, as seen on the Massachusetts state seal, and a blue riband at bottom identifying the flag to “The 1st Massachusetts Lt. Battery, M.V.M.” (hand-painted area especially brittle, with tearing and areas of loss). The standard is partially mounted with an unknown adhesive to velvet-covered board and framed, 47 x 56 in. (lacking cover glass, loose sections of flag are visible on reverse side, but we are unable to view the reverse side of the flag in its entirety).

The present standard was likely produced shortly after the Civil War when the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia was reconstituted and began to routinely

use “M.V.M.” The “1st Mass. Lt. Battery” existed prior to the Civil War, but at that time, a completely different style of the state arms had been used

by Massachusetts militia. The 1st Massachusetts Light Battery served on active duty throughout the Civil War, and the arrangement of the scrolls and the armored sword arm on the present standard are similar to several colors issued within the last year or so of the war. The visible side of the standard lacks an artist’s signature, but the overall style, lettering, and brushwork suggest that it may have been painted by Thomas Savory (1807-1882), a well-known decorative painter in Boston. He produced paintings of the Massachusetts militia on parade before the war, often painted flags on subcontract through Charles O. Eaton, and also sold flags on his own account during and after the war. The flag may have also been painted by Charles O. Eaton, who was contracted for all colors and standards paid for by the state.

Our sincere thanks for the detailed analysis and information regarding the flag’s possible origin and artist provided by Steven Hill, who has seven years of experiencing working with the Massachusetts State House Flag Project.

164 [CIVIL WAR - FLAGS]. Paper flag promoting the Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama at Boston, Massachusetts. Ca 1884-1892.

4 3/4 x 6 3/4 in. paper flag with canton featuring an image of the Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama Center. With the following printed beside the graphic: “Boston Cyclorama Co. 541 Trenton Street, ‘Battle of Gettysburg.’” A rare advertising piece.

Cycloramas, a type of 360 degree cylindrical painting, were popular entertainment in the 1870s and 1880s. The intended effect is to immerse the viewer in the scene being depicted, often with the addition of foreground models and life-sized replicas to enhance the illusion.

One of the most popular was Phillipe Philppoteaux’s painting of Pickett’s charge at the Battle of Gettysburg. The second version opened in Boston on 22 December 1884, and for the next eight years was viewed by approximately 200,000 people. This flag has an image of the exhibit building and directions and was used as a piece of advertising for the Boston exhibition.

166 [FLAGS - CIVIL WAR]. 48-star American parade flag identified to Berdan’s US Sharpshooters at the Residence of Eli Cook, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Ca 1896.

4 x 6 in. silk flag with 48 printed stars configured in 8/8/8/8/8/8 staggered pattern.

Overprint: “1896. July 29, 30 and 31 Berdan’s Sharpshooters at the Residence of Eli Cook Grand Rapids, Michigan.” Professionally mounted using stitch on board.

Hiram Berdan was born in Phelps, New York, on 6 September 1824. A mechanical engineer and successful inventor, before the Civil War he was known as the top rifle shot in the country.

When the Civil War broke out, Berdan was commissioned a colonel and given authority to recruit two regiments of sharpshooters comprised of men capable of hitting enemy targets at great distances. The units were known as “Green Coats” and were utilized as snipers and skirmishers to demoralize Confederate troops by picking off their officers and artillerymen at long range.

Eli Cook served with distinction as First Sergeant of Company I, 1st Regiment, February 1862-January 1865. At the end of the war, he returned to Eaton County, Michigan, where he remained active organizing GAR encampments and reunions with his sharpshooter comrades.

167 [INDIAN WARS]. US Cavalry regimental colors descended directly in the family of Nelson Miles.

Federal regulation cavalry silken standard, approx. 25 in. high x 30 in. wide, edged with yellow silk fringe (some areas of separation in silk throughout some areas of loss and small holes, which do not detract from the flag’s overall appearance; wear/loss to fringe along right and bottom edges of flag). The standard is embroidered and hand painted on a blue ground, and features a spread-winged eagle grasping an olive branch in one talon and a clutch of arrows in the other. A red riband is held in the eagle’s beak and a national red, white, and blue shield is on the chest. Thirteen gold stars are painted above, and a larger riband is painted below, with no number and name of regiment included (some of the threads have come loose, but most embroidery is intact). The standard is partially mounted with thumbtacks along each edge to a 26 x 27 1/2 in. wooden board, with a 2 in. section of the hoist end mounted on the reverse side of the board. An intricate, netlike pattern covers the standard, indicating that it was previously conserved using the Fowler method of flag conservation, which was meant to strengthen the flag.

The standard offered here, which conforms to the 1861 US Army regulations, served as the primary battle flag for the cavalry throughout the Civil War and during the late Indian Wars, until larger flags on a yellow ground came into use in 1887. Provenance: Descended directly in the family of General Nelson Appleton Miles (18391925), Civil War hero, Medal of Honor recipient, leader of major US Army operations during the Indian Wars of the 1870s-1890s, and last Commanding General of the United States Army.

Recognized as one of the most accomplished and capable soldiers ever to serve in the US Army, General Nelson A. Miles was also known for relentless ambition.

Miles’s military career began humbly as a volunteer infantryman at the onset of the Civil War. From there his courage and leadership would fuel a meteoric rise through the ranks to Major General of Volunteers in October 1865. In July 1866, the Army was reorganized and Miles received the rank of colonel of the new 40th US Infantry (Colored Troops). He was later transferred to the 5th US Infantry and promoted to brigadier general in 1880 and in 1890 again to major general. By 1895 he became General In Chief of the US Army and was promoted to lieutenant general in 1901.

Although the cavalry standard’s construction indicates that it may have been made during the Civil War-period, Miles did not serve with the cavalry from 18611865 suggesting that the flag was given to and/or used by Miles during the Indian Wars. Although he was still not a cavalryman, Miles commanded infantry and had cavalry attached in a number of campaigns, including the 1874-1875 campaign, which had the 4th, 6th, and 8th Cavalry Regiments attached. In the following campaign, Miles commanded his 5th Infantry under General John Gibbon. While fighting against the Nez Perce, Miles still commanded the 5th Infantry, with some of the 2nd Cavalry attached. The 7th Cavalry was attached later. When considering the high esteem with which Miles was regarded among his fellow officers throughout his military career, it is possible that the standard was a gift from one of the cavalry regiments referenced above. Alternatively, Miles may have secured the standard to be used by his four mounted companies of his 5th Infantry. If this standard was indeed used by Mile’s mounted battalion of four companies that might explain why it bears no unit designation on the riband; it was of a temporary nature.

Apart from the Miles family line of ownership, no further provenance or documentation is available to confirm the flag’s origin. See Cowan’s, 19 November 2020, Lot 322, “Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, Extensive Archive Incl. Personal Correspondence with his Wife, 1863-1900s, Featuring Detailed Letters Discussing Indian Wars Campaigns and Interactions with Sitting Bull and Chief Joseph,” which was consigned by the same Miles family descendant.

Our sincere thanks to Greg Biggs for his detailed analysis of the flag. $8,000 - 10,000

The War Department established a military camp at Gettysburg in April 1917 to train soldiers in the use of armored tanks. Camp Colt, named for Samuel Colt inventor of the revolver bearing his name, existed for less than one year and during that time was responsible for training more than 15,000 troops.

The commander of Camp Colt was captain Dwight D. Eisenhower who served from March to November 1918.

Eisenhower had been identified as an officer with good organizational skills, and for that reason was assigned to command America’s first tank training center. He was instrumental in establishing a separate armored unit known as the Army Tank Corps and for his efforts was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal.

10 x 14 in. flag comprised of sewn satin stripes with 48 embroidered stars configured in 8/8/8/8/8/8 pattern. A cotton sleeve is sewn on the hoist end, with an enclosed cord with end hooks. Professionally mounted using stitch on board.

On 23 June 1945, a US military convoy entered Berlin to take control of the American sector of the city. In honor of the occasion, flags hand made in the nearby town of Halle were specially ordered for convoy vehicles. Colonel John J. McGinnis, a field officer with the Army’s military government operations, saved one of the flags as a souvenir of the historic event. He later bequeathed his flag to the National Museum of American History where it became part of the Smithsonian Institution exhibit July 1942: United We Stand, The Flag In World War II.

177 [ENSLAVEMENT & ABOLITION]. A group of documents, some related to enslaved individuals in Alabama and Tennessee. $400 - 600

178 [ABOLITION & SLAVERY]. Letter group related to enslaved persons working seasonally in the Western Virginia salt industry.

A group of 12 stampless covers, spanning 1847-1853, each addressed to Samuel Hannah (1792-1859) of Charleston, Kanawha County, Virginia, and related to the industrial use of slavery in the salt industry of the Great Kanawha Valley of Virginia (present-day West Virginia). Correspondence to Hannah from enslavers in Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina demonstrates the manner in which enslaved individuals were hired out to industrial salt mines by their owners, and the unique regional considerations involved in this type of forced labor.

Samuel McDaniel, an enslaver from Bedford County, Virginia, writes to Hannah on 20 April 1848: “Mrs. Stone and myself are both in want of money, at this time to pay up some demands against each of us individually, and we must now ask the favour of you to say to our friends the salt makers who hired our negroes of you that they will oblige us by paying you such our wages for negro hires as are now due....” Eight months later in December 1848 McDaniel writes again to renew the hiring agreement: “The time for hiring hands in the salt region will be here in a very few weeks. Hope that you will do me the favour to hire out my two boys for the next year, viz George and Charles, as well as Mrs. Stone’s two Jim and Hampton.... The boys may want to come in on a visit next summer if so please reserve the right in your bargain for me to order them home for two or three weeks and for me to pay their expenses and deduct the loss of time from their hires.” McDaniel then continues relaying a specific concern: “A report has reached us that abolitionists are frequently sliping amongst the slaves at the salines, and that good many has sliped off during the last summer, if so it might be as well to indulge them as far as reasonable in making the selection as whom they prefer serving....”

Enslaver Thomas W. Robertson of Davis’ Mill, Bedford County, Virginia, expresses similar fears about the loss of his “property,” writing to Hannah on 16 November 1848: “Having heard several reports of late of negroes running off from Kanawha, I am somewhat at a stand to know whether to let my boys remain, but as I have lately heard that a very vigilant System of Police has been lately adopted to prevent escapes....”

In addition to concerns regarding the possible loss of Kanawha slaves who seek their freedom by crossing the nearby Ohio River into Ohio, enslavers expressed concerns about cholera, and about the dangers involved within the industry itself. While most phases of salt production were dangerous, none were moreso than laboring in the coal banks which supplied fuel to salt furnaces. Albon McDaniel of Nashville writes to Hannah on 1 February 1848 regarding the hire of his enslaved man Chaney: “I am glad he is hired I had no use for him this year. I hope he is not to work in the cole banks. this I wish you to see to if any incident should happen to him in a cole bank I never should forgive myself.”

Additional letters in the archive describe desired situations for the hiring of enslaved persons in the salt mines, with the exception of one letter from Hannah’s nephew which describes a journey to Mississippi from Charleston, and the hiring of enslaved persons there.

Samuel Hannah descended from a prominent slave-holding Virginia family. He owned two plantations in Charlotte County, Virginia, and maintained a residence in Charleston, Kanawha County, (West) Virginia. The 1850 Federal Census Slave Schedule indicates that Hannah (sometimes Hanna) enslaved at least 20 men, women, and children across his residences. The 1850 US Federal Census identifies Hannah as living in Charleston and working as a cashier for the Bank of Virginia, while other sources indicate he engaged in the trade of cotton, salt, and tobacco. The correspondence offered here indicates that Hannah also facilitated lease agreements between salt manufacturers and slave owners for the seasonal rental of slaves to the Saline industry. West Virginia’s Kanawha Salines was one of the largest salt manufacturing centers in the United States from the early 1800s through the 1850s. The rapid initial expansion of the Kanawha salt industry coupled with the relatively small number of slaves in western Virginia for purchase or lease forced salt producers to look elsewhere for slave labor. These letters reflect this period of industrial prominence for the region, and the sourcing of human property that enabled the salt industry to meet demand.

An important group documenting the use of enslaved labor for industrial purposes as opposed to the more widely recognized use of enslaved labor on plantations in an agricultural context. This description relies heavily on an article published in The Journal of Negro History entitled “Slavery and the Western Virginia Salt Industry,”

Bust portrait of Weld, with slightly grizzled beard and serious expression, looking off-camera. Housed in a push-button case (non-functioning closure).

Pencil inscription on case interior behind image reads, “Weld.”

Stephen Minot Weld (1806-1867) opened a boys’ school in Roxbury in 1827, and served as schoolmaster for 3 decades, overseeing the education of many Harvard-bound pupils throughout his tenure, including many from outside of the United States. His connection to Harvard University did not end there, however, as he also campaigned for reform allowing Harvard alumni to choose the members of the institution’s Board of Overseers, a body he would eventually join. After his passing, his older brother, William Fletcher Weld, financed the building of a dormitory at Harvard in the younger Weld’s honor.

Weld was also a strong supporter of the Union, notably helping recruit troops during the Civil War, and also serving as a presidential elector for Abraham Lincoln in 1864. His son, Stephen Minot Weld Jr. (1842-1920), joined the Union cause as a second lieutenant at the age of 19, and distinguished himself so much that he was ultimately brevetted a brigadier general, being nominated by President Andrew Johnson in January of 1866.

An important figure in the field of American History writ large, Sparks passed away in 1866, having contributed immensely to historical scholarship in the United States.

Bust portrait of Pratt crossing his arms, with his characteristic sideburns and glasses featured prominently. Housed in a leatherette case with velvet pad marked for Brady’s Gallery at 205 & 207 Broadway.

Thomas G. Pratt (1804-1869) served as the 27th Governor of Maryland from 1845-1848, and represented the state in the US Senate from 1850-1857.

Pratt was controversial for a few reasons, including his direct taxation of the state’s residents and his pro-slavery posture. He not only had a son fight in the Confederate Army, but he refused to take a loyalty oath at the polls on election day, November 1863, resulting in his arrest and imprisonment at Fort Monroe.

192 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Ninth plate daguerreotype of Bayard Taylor (18251878), American poet, literary critic, author, and diplomat.

Ninth plate daguerreotype portrait of Bayard Taylor. Housed in half pressed paper case.

Born in Chester County, PA, Bayard Taylor received his early instruction in an academy at West Chester, PA, and later at nearby Unionville. At the age of 17, Taylor was apprenticed to a printer. He was encouraged by the influential critic and editor Rufus Wilmot Griswold to write poetry, which resulted in his first volume of verse, Ximena, or the Battle of the Sierra Morena, and other Poems, published in 1844. With The Saturday Evening Post and the United States Gazette, Taylor journeyed abroad in return for publication rights to his travel letters, which were compiled in Views Afoot (1846). He began a career in journalism in New York in 1847. He then ventured west as a newspaper correspondent to write about the California gold rush and subsequently described those experiences in Eldorado (1850). Taylor continued to travel to remote parts of the world, including the Orient, Africa, and Russia. He became secretary of the US legation at St. Petersburg, Russia in 1862 and later served as US Minister to Prussia in 1878.

193 [WAR OF 1812-POLITICS]. WHITEHURST, Jesse (1820-1875), artist. Miniature painting of William Learned Marcy.

2 x 2 3/4 in. miniature ivory painted portrait of Marcy. Signed “Whitehurst” along left shoulder (as viewed) of subject. Housed in a sealed wooden miniature frame with hanging fob.

William Learned Marcy (1786-1857) served as US Senator, Governor of New York, US Secretary of War, and US Secretary of State. He served as an officer during the War of 1812, and served as Secretary of War during the Mexican-American War of the 1840s.

Notably, he negotiated the Gadsden Purchase, which brought a region covering parts of present-day Arizona and New Mexico under United States ownership.

Jesse H. Whitehurst (1820-1875) was one of the first photographers active in the American South, openinwg his first gallery in Charleston, SC, in 1843. He quickly developed the business into a chain of studios with outlets in Wilmington, North Carolina, Lynchburg, Norfolk, Richmond, and Petersburg in his home state of Virginia, and even Washington, Baltimore, and New York. Whitehurst said his businesses served over 20,000 customers a year in the 1850s, including nearly all members of Congress, but the empire did not withstand the transition to newer forms of photography, and he spent the rest of his professional life in the guano exploration business.

195 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. A group of 3 images, incl. sixth plate daguerreotypes of inventor Charles H. Dana seated next to his “Corn Planter.”

Sixth plate portrait of inventor Charles H. Dana seated next to his patented corn planter with patent label visible. Housed in a fully separated pressed paper case (split at spine). Though not entirely discernable even under magnification, the label features the name of the invention, the patent date of Sept. [4, 1854], the inventor’s name, and the location “W. Lebanon, N.H.” Sixth plate seated portrait of Dana, here featured without the partial goatee he sports in the first image, but with the same sideburns and hairstyle. Housed in a fully separated pressed paper case.

4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in. loose tintype, copied from an earlier cased image, featuring an elderly Dana holding up his corn planter diagonally across his torso with both hands, presenting it to the camera. The patent label is also visible in this image, but it is not sharply focused enough to be at all discernable even under magnification.

AMERICAN HISTORICAL EPHEMERA & PHOT0GRAPHY

Charles H. Dana (1830-1915) was lauded in an obituary as having developed “inventive genius” early on in his life, receiving two patents in 1854 for a potato digger and a corn planter. The more successful of the two, the corn planter, went on to be “extensively used throughout the country...” Dana continued inventing, and he ended up receiving 15 patents and multiple awards for his inventions including a medal and diplomat at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, 1876.

Dana’s corn planter is promoted in a broadside housed at the Library of Congress describing it as a “Valuable Invention! Highly important To Farmers!”

Lot accompanied by a printed image of the broadside held at the LOC. Early Photography Collection of Jules Martino, Silverton, Oregon $3,000 - 4,000

199 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Quarter plate ambrotype of a train engine and tender at the South Braintree, Massachusetts, train station.

Landscape-oriented outdoor view of a 4-4-6 diamond stack locomotive labeled “Bridgewater,” sitting stationary on a track just in front of the station building at South Braintree. Housed in a Rare Union wall frame with geometric design [Berg 7-22]. The headlight and box cab appear rather primitive, as if they were put together and added to the locomotive after its manufacture. The leading and trailing wheels appear to be solid rather than spoked, designating this as a rather early locomotive image dating from either the late 1840s or very early 1850s.

In 1845 the Massachusetts legislature granted a charter for a railroad extending from the Old Colony Railroad at South Braintree through Randolph, Stoughton, and North Bridgewater, to Bridgewater, to connect with the Middleboro and Bridgewater Railroad. The railroad was finished in 1846 and ran cars under the name “Randolph and Bridgewater Railroad Corporation.” $2,000 - 3,000

200 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Rare pre-fire half plate ambrotype featuring West Van Buren Street in downtown Chicago. Ca 1860.

Half plate street view of downtown Chicago, showing several commercial buildings along the north side of West Van Buren Street including a “Meat Market” and a boot and shoe store. Several subjects stand along the street to be captured by the photographer’s camera, including a bizarrely-dressed “character” standing in the back of a wagon at center. The man appears to be wearing some kind of headdress and long fur garment, and to be holding an axe or tomahawk in ready position. Sealed in a period stenciled frame.

Frame verso with ink pen inscriptions from former owner, Harold C. Walther of Bloomington, IL, identifying the exact location of the scene along with the address and owner of the featured meat market (219; Mr. Jakob Walther). A “Jacob Walther” is listed in the 1880 US Federal Census as a butcher, living at 217 East Van Buren Street in Chicago.

A window of the boot and shoe store reads “R. Walther / Boot [&] Sho[e] / Store.” R. Walther could be the man pictured wearing an apron just outside of the store.

It is likely that a member of the Walther family commissioned this image showing the two businesses and that the image was descended in the family, eventually to Harold C. Walther, who owned it as late as 1975 according to the inscription on frame verso. $2,500 - 5,000

201 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Quarter plate ambrotype of two likely New York firefighters enjoying a smoke.

A somewhat ironic portrait of two seated firefighters, each wearing a few iconic parts of the fireman’s uniform including helmet, red-tinted shirt, and belt. Each holds a cigarette or cigar in his mouth, and the fellow on the right also holds a fireman’s trumpet. Housed in a pressed paper case.

The visible portions of the pards’ belts indicate that both belts read, “Lady Washington.” The numeral “2” on their helmets designates the engine or hose company they belong to. Therefore, these two men can be said to belong to either the Lady Washington Engine Company No. 2 or the Lady Washington Hose Company No. 2.

The specific New York style of the subjects’ uniform shirts, helmets, belts, and even the trumpet, together with their deduced company designation implies that the men likely belonged to either the Peekskill or Yonkers, NY Lady Washington No. 2 company, both of which were active during the 1855-1862 period of ambrotype popularity.

We are grateful to Mike Novak of San Clemente, California, who furnished information pinpointing the Peekskill or Yonkers affiliation of the subjects featured here. $1,500 - 2,500

An appointment for “Thomas Cowden, Esq. of Fitchburg” as Justice of the Peace for the “County of Worcester for the term of seven years if during that time he shall behave well in the same office.” Countersigned by John Avery as Secretary of the Commonwealth, and endorsed on verso by Lieutenant Governor Samuel Adams whose signature affirmed that Cowden had taken the oath of office, 30 September 1789.

Capt. Thomas Cowden (1720-1792) was a resident of Fitchburg, Worcester County, Massachusetts. Though he wrote his surname “Cowdin,” it often appears as “Cowden” such as on the document offered here. As a young man Cowdin served the crown first at the Siege of Louisburg and later as a captain during the French and Indian War. The History of the Town of Fitchburg (1836) notes that Cowdin was not initially a supporter of the American Revolution, and so «though in other respects a very popular man, and a very noted inn-keeper, was shorn of all his municipal honors in 1775, and was not again admitted to the confidence of the town till towards the close of the war.” In 1779 Cowdin was chosen a delegate to the to the convention forming the Massachusetts state constitution and a year later was chosen to represent the town in the first General Court under the new Constitution. By the time of this appointment as Justice of the Peace in 1789, the “Reluctant Revolutionary” was fully immersed in the governmental and political establishments of his new country. $2,000 - 3,000

One page, 7 1/2 x 13 1/8 in. Separations, adhesive residue from old repairs, creasing and loss to edges. Addressed to William Barrell with Boston cancel stamp on integral leaf. Docketed verso. True copy of Barrell’s reply written beneath Adam’s letter and extending into next page.

Adams writes of Barrell’s legal action against his brother, in which Adams is acting as Barrell’s attorney. Adams received Barrell’s action and was obliged to deliver it to the Superior Court, but is unaware of the grounds for the action. He writes, in part: “It is grounded on an Account & I had no evidence to support it.

I must beg the favor of you to write me immediately Directions what I shall do with it - if you depend upon your Book you must be present with it to take your Oath - if you depend upon witnesses, please to write me who those witnesses are, that I may summon them.”

Barrell’s reply of 11 February 1773 notes his receipt of Adam’s letter of 19 January, and expresses his surprise that he needs to provide proof against his brother, “as he repeatedly acknowledged the charges just before the Refferees...” Most notably, he writes, “The net[?] proceeds of his negro, leaves the Balance sued for.”

William Barrell (d. 1776) was a New England merchant who had a store in Philadelphia from 1774-1776. John Adams charged goods in Barrell’s store while he was serving in the Continental Congress, and described Barrell as a “worthy Bostonian transmuted into a worthy Philadelphia” in a July 1775 letter.

Barrell was also notably the recipient of brother-in-law John Andrews’s letters describing conditions in Boston in the lead-up to the Revolution. $2,000 - 3,000

263 [BUCHANAN, James (1791-1868)]. Bronze Japanese Embassy medal in original presentation box. 1860.

ELLIS, Salathiel (1803-1879), sculptor. 3 in. cast bronze medal housed in original gilt leatherette presentation box.

Obverse features bust portrait of James Buchanan, marked for Ellis underneath, and legend “James Buchanan, President of the United States.” Reverse with enwreathed text, “In Commemoration of the First Embassy from Japan to the United States 1860” and Union shield at bottom.

After more than two centuries under a strictly isolationist foreign policy, Japan declared itself “open” to the west, sending a delegation to the United States that arrived in Washington in 1860.

Japanese diplomats met with Secretary of State Lewis Cass and President James Buchanan, and toured other important US cities including New York and San Francisco. Of course, gifts were exchanged between the representatives of both nations, and Secretary Lewis Cass presented each of the Japanese diplomats with a medal featuring Buchanan’s likeness, cast in gold, silver, or bronze, depending upon the recipient’s status. It is believed that 50 bronze medals were presented, to be distributed among the diplomatic suite.

Salathiel Ellis engraved the original die for the obverse of the commemorative medal, but it broke within the year and was remade by Anthony Paquet. Featured in this lot is an original Ellis example.

Grover Cleveland was elected President in 1884 but lost his bid for re-election to Benjamin Harrison, grandson of former President William Henry Harrison, in 1888 even though Cleveland won the popular vote. They faced each other again in the election of 1892, a contest dominated by the issue of tariff policies and one in which neither candidate led a unified party. This time Cleveland won handily, outpolling both Harrison and third party candidate James Weaver and in doing so became the first, and only, president to date to serve two non-consecutive terms.

311 [RELIGION] -- SHEDD, Sarah Dawes (1836-1921). Archive featuring letters written by pioneering missionary Sarah Dawes Shedd while serving in modernday Turkey, Iraq, and Iran, 1859-1893.

Large archive of approximately 88 letters, spanning 1859-1893 (bulk 18611869, no letters 1872-1878), sent from various foreign missionary stations including Seir, Gawar, and Oroomiah, in what is now the range between far eastern Turkey, northern Iraq, and northwestern Iran. Letters on thin, lightweight stock, with the usual size of the sheet 8 1/4 x 10 1/2 in. and 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 in. respectively. More than 60 letters written by Sarah Dawes Shedd, with another 20 written by her husband missionary John Haskell Shedd, and 6 by their fellow Presbyterian missionary Benjamin Labaree. Majority of letters are sent by the Shedds to family in the United States, with a small number exchanged between Sarah and John while John was traveling. Sarah’s primary correspondents include her mother Sarah Cutler Dawes (1809-1896), and siblings Catherine (“Kate”) Dawes McLean (1830-1866) and Lucy Dawes (1833-1898).

The earliest of Sarah’s letters dates to May 1861, approximately six months after her arrival in Urumia. The young missionary seems to have settled into her new home and missionary work. The bulk of the correspondence dates to the 1860s, with Sarah detailing to her family via lengthy, closely-written letters her experiences in Persia. Topics discussed include, in part: her fellow missionaries; her husband’s work; the native peoples; her children; her home and visitors; challenges faced by the Christians, Muslims, and the poor; travel throughout the region; and commentary on the events unfolding in the United States including the Civil War. Notable are Sarah’s descriptions of her encounters with the native people, both Christian, Muslim, and Jewish. Letters demonstrate that far more than just a helpmate for her husband, Sarah is curious, diplomatic, and extensively engaged with the foreign peoples with whom she lives.

4 August 1865: “We spent a night at the house of a Koordish [Kurdish] chieftainess when we came up to Gawar. Our loads had gone on, and a rain coming up had pretty well soaked our clothing and between riding in the the rain and walking down the steep mountains through the mud we were bedraggled and dirtied and tired. We sent a man on before to ask if she would give us a shelter for the night. Soon he came back with the most cordial welcome ‘On her eyes, we had come, her house and all in it belonged to us etc etc.’ As we rode up to the house in our forlorn condition, to my surprise a fine looking Koord stepped up + assisted me to alight from my horse. Two handsome servants met us in the doorway and led us up stairs to a small mean apartment (mean to eyes that had seen better, but very good to those who dwell in black tents) where the old lady arrayed in black silk velvet, with silver ornaments, sat upon a cloth of coarse red plush. She greeted us most graciously, bidding me sit by her side and petting + praising Charly [Sarah’s son, Charles Rufus Shedd, b.1861]. A servant was sitting down over a bright wood fire making bitter coffee. When Mr. Shedd came in the young woman disappeared, but the old lady repeated her compliments. One of her sons (she has six) sat down and with more than oriental politeness paid his respects to me, the Sahib was his brother, the Khanum (lady) was his sister etc. When the coffee was made the old lady reproved the servant for handing it first to the gentlemen and directed it to be handed to me. I mention these little things 130 A M E R I C A N H I S T O R I C A L E P H E M E R A & P H O T 0 G R A P H Y

because they are so unoriental, and show the power of this woman. She was formerly a very powerful chief, before the country was subdued by the Turks and still retains some of her former prestige. Her power like her velvets is now faded, but her pride and her love of authority remain.”

3 May 1867: “The seminary steward invited us to a feast last week. They took great pains to to get up a fine entertainment several of the dignitaries of the village to meet us....But more than all this I had the distinguished pleasure of entering the Great Mosque in the city -a mosque so sacred that no Christian is allowed to cross the threshold. The English Embassador & several of the missionaries have entered before this but I think no lady had been....”

19 July [1869]: “On Saturday we went to the Synagogue. The Jews here are few in number & dreadfully oppressed by the Musselmans [Muslims]...I called at the house of the chief Rabbi & his handsome daughters had these fine headdresses & silver chains pendant from that hung under the chin, gold coins attached, bracelets of very pretty silver work & two ring on every finger...[The synagogue] is a good sized room, walls whitened & well-lighted. The women occupy a gallery over the door & over looking the whole...During the service I stood in the gallery while my husband & sons & native friends sat on the [?] seats below....”

The Shedd family was the most important American missionary family in Persia from the later part of the 19th century until the end of World War I. Sarah Jane “Jennie” Dawes Shedd was born in Malta, Ohio, and graduated from the Western Female Seminary in Oxford, Ohio, in 1858. Her husband John Haskell Shedd (1833-1895) was born in Gilead, Ohio, and became a Presbyterian minister. The two were married in 1859 then embarked upon their missionary work that same year. Because of John Haskell Shedd’s facility with various languages, he took over many of the duties of Justin Perkins, an American Presbyterian missionary who was the first US citizen to reside in Iran. The Shedds were sponsored by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to serve Assyrian Christians of the Nestorian mission at Urumia (Urumiyyih, Oroomiyah, Orumiyeh), in present-day northwestern Iran, near Turkey and Iraq. The Shedds remained there for most of their lives except for two extended return trips to the United States, one of which in the 1870s included work among the freedmen of North Carolina. While living in Persia, Sarah gave birth to multiple children, including son William Ambrose Shedd (1865- 1918). Like his parents, William became a prominent missionary in the region and later the United States’ first de facto consul to Iran.

While the missionary work of William Ambrose Shedd and his father is widely documented, Sarah Dawes Shedd’s contributions to the success of the mission remain significantly less well-documented. We locate no records for sales of Sarah Dawes Shedd manuscripts at auction, and find no records for her manuscripts in OCLC. Though OCLC indicates that John Haskell Shedd has records/personal papers in the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions archives at Houghton Library, Harvard, the collection finding aid does not indicate holdings for Sarah Dawes Shedd. The archive offered here represents an opportunity to recover Sarah’s trailblazing life from relative obscurity, and explore the world of a woman whose travel and adventures took her far beyond the confines of typical nineteenth-century womanhood. $1,500 - 2,500

319 [AVIATION]. SMITH, Edgar B. (1896-1966), photographer. Rare photographic salesman aviation album documenting various airplanes and their construction at the plant of the Travel Air Manufacturing Company of Wichita, Kansas. Ca 1929.

Oblong 8vo (8 x 11 in.), flexible pebbled brown leather. 45 silver prints, approx.

7 1/4 x 9 1/8 in., 43 of which are mounted on linen. Photographer’s stamp on verso of each photo.

A fantastic salesman’s presentation photo album documenting the factory, production, and airplanes at the Travel Air Manufacturing Company, one of the country’s leading aircraft manufacturers in the 1920s. In addition to numerous photographs of individual planes and an aerial view of the Travel Air factory itself, this album includes various shots of men at work on the production floor—welding the frames, shaping the bodies, constructing, and covering the wooden wing frames, and so on—as well as detail shots of wood lamination, tube welding, and more, some of which have a marvelous abstract quality.

One photo, showing the interior of a passenger plane, was also included in a publicity brochure for the Delta Air Service (later Delta Airlines), which flew Travel Airplanes for its first passenger flights in 1929.

The Travel Air Manufacturing Company was founded in 1924 in Wichita, Kansas, by Clyde Cessna, Walter Beech, and Lloyd Stearman, with Olive Ann Mellor as bookkeeper, secretary, and later office manager. The company had an early focus on training and racing planes, several of which, the Type R “Mystery Ships,” were faster than any US military aircraft. It expanded rapidly and began manufacturing cabin monoplanes for airline and private use as well.

In 1928 Travel Air was producing at a higher volume than any other US aircraft company. In 1929, seven Travel Airs were flown in the first ever Women’s Air Derby (commonly known as the “Powder Puff Derby”). In the leadup to the stock market crash, the company merged with the Curtiss-Wright Corporation of Patterson, New Jersey.

Photographer Edgar B. Smith was born in Wichita in 1896. He learned to fly with Travel Air founder Clyde Cessna, and operated a studio in Wichita for forty years, with a focus on aviation. He died in 1966 as “the dean of aviation photographers in Wichita,” having amassed what was believed to be the most complete collection of photographs of Wichita-built aircraft.

A richly detailed album documenting the production heyday of one of the most important aircraft manufacturers of the 1920s.

323 [GOLD RUSH]. PREUSS, Charles. Map of Oregon and Upper California from the Surveys of John Charles Frémont And other Authorities...1848. Inscribed by likely forty-niner Charles Weigandt.

Lithographed map of Oregon and Upper Canada, hand-colored, 33 3/4 x 27 1/4 in. With profile of the travelling route from the South Pass of the Rocky Mountains to the Bay of San Francisco. Verso bears period inscription: “Charles F. Weigandt. Jackson, Miss. 1849” along with modern ink inscription identifying the map to Caspar Limpert of Ann Arbor, MI and Groveport, OH, “Map carried by them on the trip to Calif. in the ‘Gold Rush.’”

The map featured here was originally made to accompany Fremont’s Geographical Memoir Upon Upper California. It importantly identifies the entrance to San Francisco Bay “Golden Gate,” labels “Mormon Settlements” to the east of the Great Salt Lake, and shows the routes taken by Fremont on his expeditions into the west from 1842-1846 (the third of which Preuss himself joined). This map was the first to show the location of recent gold discoveries in California, making it an important tool for gold-seekers headed west.

An ancestry search for a Charles F. Weigandt of Jackson, Mississippi returned one Charles Frederick Weigandt (18111892) who was born in Germany and immigrated to the United States, arriving in New York in 1852. He was married in Jackson, MS in 1860. His father’s middle name was Caspar, but we could find no other connection to a Caspar Limpert.

A separate search for a Caspar Limpert returned one Casper Limpert (1808-1877) who was born in Rossbach, Germany, and arrived in America sometime before 1841, when he married Cynthia Rarey in Groveport, OH. Accompanied by modern typed provenance identifying the map to Casper (spelled variously) Limpert, and descending through his family. $1,000 - 2,000 F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M A G E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S .

324 [GOLD RUSH]. Extensive California Gold Rush archive of William J. Jewell (1818-1885) including letters, diaries, and photographs, ca. 1852-1853.

30 letters written by gold prospector William J. Jewell to his wife Delilah Smith Jewell (1821-1901) spanning January 1852 - October 1853, accompanied by 18 corresponding covers many of which bear circular datestamps from early California settlements; 2 diaries, the first a “Daily Memorandum Book, for 1852” featuring 3 entries per page, 3 1/4 x 5 3/4 in., 126pp, with daily entries spanning 1 January 1852 - 31 December 1852 and additional notations on end pages; the second diary featuring 1 entry per page, 4 x 6 3/4 in., 326pp, with daily entries spanning 1 January 1853 - 23 November 1853; “Gregory’s Express Pocket Letter Book,” 2 7/8 x 4 7/8 in., 40pp, comprising a letter written by Jewell to his wife from Placerville, 5 February 1852; a large group of family photographs including cased images, CDVs, tintypes, and paper photographs; and additional Gold Rush-era ephemera and correspondence.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH ARCHIVE, AND ONE OF THE LARGEST EVER TO COME TO MARKET William J. Jewell departed for California on 12 January 1852. The earliest of the two diaries offered here records his departure, Jewell noting the day prior that he “felt rather dull but kept up courage.” On the 12th he departed Michigan with his brother John W. Jewell and brother-in-law David F. Osborn: “Myself, D. Osborn & my Bro John started on foot on our mission, snow Nine deep[.] bid adieu to them that was near to me, and Mary my daughter Lie a Sleeping[.] how I feel when I think of my home[.] we got to Detroit this day by stage.” So begins Jewell’s nearly two-year “mission” as a “Forty-Niner,” an adventure which he recorded with astonishing detail and regularity throughout his absence. While Jewell’s letters provide an overview of his time as a FortyNiner, his diaries offer a remarkable day-by-day accounting of his labors and experiences in the gold fields.

Jewell’s earliest letters and diary entries are notable for his descriptions of the arduous journey undertaken just to make it to the gold fields, and are illustrative of the unprecedented mass migration that was underway. His first 136 A M E R I C A N H I S T O R I C A L E P H E M E R A & P H O T 0 G R A P H Y

letter home is written from New York City on 20 January 1852. He describes his journey to New York from Livingston County, Michigan, traversing Canada via stage, then crossing the suspension bridge at Niagara Falls, New York (“I never in all my Life was so Badly Frightened”), then taking rail cars through Elmira and on to New York City. Jewell indicates that he has encountered many on their way to the gold fields (“500 came today on the cars and and it is so Every Day”), as well as those returning from the gold fields (“some Tell us we are fools some say we can do well”). He then continues indicating the route he has chosen (“Passage by the old route Chagres & Panama” as opposed to the “Nicaragua Route” which was booked solid for months). On 13 February 1852 Jewell writes his second letter home, this time from Panama. He says he “should have starved” in steerage had they not purchased provisions in New York, then describes the often treacherous journey from Chagres, through the Panama jungle, and to Panama City, before setting sail for California. His third letter, dated 1 May 1852, was written from Sacramento City following a difficult 76-day sailing voyage. “California is overrun with people,” he writes, “to Day they come through here 1000 from China and probably twice that number from the States. no person would Believe The Emigration to this Country untill they saw it....” Sacramento City itself is a wonder to this smalltown Michigan farmer. Jewell writes to Delilah the following month describing “the sports of a Sunday” including two men fighting for a $1,000 prize, horse races, and a fight between a grizzly bear chained to a post and a Spanish bull.

Other amusements include auction sales, theatres, a circus, and gambling (“by women as well as men”). Hangings are common (“an Every day occurrence”) and gold is abundant (“you can go in many places here and see Bushels of 50 Dollar peices of Gold”). Jewell, however, is unable to afford a journey to the mines and the purchase of equipment upon arrival in Sacramento, so he hires himself out as a laborer for a monthly wage of $75.

By July 1852 Jewell at last earned enough money to leave Sacramento. He writes on 13 July [1852], from Poverty Bar, located on the Middle Fork of the American River in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, indicating that he is now working with William Davis, Jr. Census records indicate that Davis had ties to Livingston County, Michigan. Davis operated a provision store at Poverty Bar,

and correspondence indicates that he was someone with whom both William and John Jewell were already well-acquainted. Jewell describes for Delilah his new occupation: “The Miners work from 6 o’clock to 11 then rest until half past one then work until 1/2 past 6.” Adding later a sentiment he repeats throughout his journals, “I thought I knew what hard Labor was but I did not untill I commenced mining.” He describes the ins-and-outs of being a miner, including purchasing claims by the month and purchasing tools, where the gold deposits are to be found, and more. He indicates that he is working with David Osborn at Poverty Bar, and that his brother John proceeded up 20 miles further to begin speculating. Notably, Jewell references in this same letter (as well as others) the enclosure of a small specimen, possibly the 4.7 gram gold piece that is attached to a stick pin and accompanies the lot. Also of note is Jewell’s request for Delilah to “go with the children...& get yours & theirs miniature Pt [photograph or portrait] taken together in one frame or case...and mail them to Louisville Greenwood Valley post office Elderado Co. Cal....” Delilah presumably complied, as two sixth plate images of Delilah and the children, Charles Henry Jewell (1845-1915) and Mary Annett Jewell (1848-1862), accompany the lot.

From July 1852 through October 1853 Jewell continues writing to Delilah while also making daily diary entries documenting his time as a prospector predominantly in Poverty Bar. Alternating between working directly on his claims, hiring himself out to work other claims, and working in Davis’s provision store, Jewell soon develops knowledge and skills essential to his work as a miner. Sample diary entries (retaining original punctuation and spelling) include the following: 23 August 1852: “Yesterday I swam down the river 3 times on Timber for to fix our Water Wheel got wet all over went to work early on my claim the other boys back by noon from their hole 84 dollars we struck the bed rock found it soft panned out from 50 cents to 5 Dollars no place for washing with a Tom yet.”

9 January 1853 (letter to Delilah from Placerville): “Quite unhealthy here this Winter Many have died, also many have Drowned...oh What snows, rain, & c we have had it beats anything in my Time. the Middle Fork American River raised Eighteen feet, it was higher than it was ever known, Thousands of Dollars worth of Timber, Lumber, Houses, Cattle, etc, all rushed along with the mighty Torrents my pen cant describe the damages of the flood. Sacramento City is completely emerged, what the late Fire did not burn the Water has completely fixt...in the City the Water in stores is from 2 to 6 feet Deep a customer gets rowed in a boat in the store, eats & pays his Dollars....”

31 March 1853: “We are up in the morning soon as we expect to pay for a head of water, and a little after sunrise we are on the ground there we wait with patience with sluices set and tom waiting patiently expecting every minute when the Water will come rushing down the mountain stop there until near noon finally one of us goes up on the Mountain to ascertain if possible when if not to day can we be accommodated with a Head. The Waterman say Tomorrow There then is Another day but, that I can’t Earn a dime....”

16 April 1853: “This morning I hired myself out to work for a Company of Three men for Three Dollars for to day & about noon they thought they were not making a terrible fortune one proposed for me to pay my portion of the water and share accordingly I told them I would we kept working a pretty good jog till after sundown. we then pannd out and in Cleaning up the Sluice I showed them a specimen ‘oh’ says one we will pay you by the day, no I replied you don’t, but says I i’ll give to the Company one bit more than any man in Hangtown and they are all agreed to the proposal....”

4 July 1853: “Independence day by the reports of Guns, Rocks, and Logs, all are sending their powder Messengers abroad no accidents by bursting of Canons. on this Bar Some have gone to Auburn, some to Hangtown and others celebrate on the Bar. some are swimming in the River but four of our Company are Framing Timbers the only Co. working to day for Dinner our Hostess gave us potatoe, squash, Roast beef, cranberry Tart, Sauce Do. Bread & Butter, Cake with frosting and a Quaking pudding cake looked very nice the Pudding was Excellent.”

8 August 1853: “I attended a Meeting of the River men and heard the bye Laws of them read, etc. Tomorrow one from Each Co. go to stake the low water mark from the bank diggers also to ascertain if each flume is ever posted underneath of & material good & c. I got my foot badly hurt today D.F.O. let a board fall four feet on it and it hurt me very much so I can’t walk to the valley to day.”

7-8 October 1853: “again I am to work for the Company laboring hard most probably for the last day in California on this river but my health is none of the best and other things taken into consideration I think its best to leave about now...I have been settling all my business up to day and getting my little bag of dust ready for home its not much for coming this long journey being away from home Twenty-one months.”

Between Jewell’s letters and diaries, and additional correspondence from John W. Jewell, the archive includes references to multiple claim locations and notable early Gold Rush locales including “McDowel Hill,” “Hangtown” (later known as Placerville), “Poverty Bar,” “Greenwood,” “Mormon Island,” “Roads Digins,” “Louisville,” “Spanish Dry Digings,” and more. William Jewell provides details on his travels, the people he encounters, food, terrain, mail, transportation, leisure activities, mining camps, and the everyday life of a miner. He provides clear testimony to the difficult nature of his labors,

referencing injuries, freezing cold rivers, equipment that often needs to be repaired or replaced, and water that is too high or alternately river beds that are too dry. He records expenses for boarding, travel from one mining operation to another, and for provisions, while also recording his earnings and the use of gold and gold dust as currency. Jewell is well aware of the fickle nature of luck, often referring to the rising and falling fortunes of his fellow prospectors. In the gold fields unlucky men not only lose fortunes, but as Jewell recorded many lose their lives from illnesses such as dysentery and small pox. Ultimately, Jewell endured the hardships of a miner’s life with fortitude and pragmatism before determining in the fall of 1853 that it was time to return home. He departed California on 16 October 1853, and arrived in Michigan approximately seven weeks later.

[With:] A large group of photographs, predominantly consisting of portraits, some identified as members of the Jewell family as well as other relations from both William Jewell and Delilah Smith Jewell’s extended families.

Photography includes more than 20 cased images, highlighted by a sixth plate daguerreotype portrait of William J. Jewell dressed in a white dress shirt, vest, and coat, ca 1850s; two sixth plate daguerreotypes featuring Delilah Jewell, her two children, Charles Jewell and Mary Jewell, and a dog, ca 1852; and a half plate ambrotype (period crack and repair) of Martha “Mattie” Horton Jewell (1868-1960), wife of William and Delilah’s third child Fobes C. Jewell (18641932). -- Additional photography includes more than 30 tintypes, 10 CDVs, and a cabinet card featuring a seated gentleman with white hair and a woman standing by his side, inscribed on verso “William Jewell and Wife Delilah (Smith) Jewell / Burial at Green’s Cemetery Township of Marion Mich.” -- One framed albumen photograph, approx. 9 1/2 x 7 3/4 in.

Inscribed to William Jewel’s daughter, “Presented to Mary A. Jewell by James C. Ferguson.” -- An assortment of 19th-century women’s earrings. -- A small number of miscellaneous documents and other ephemera associated with the Smith and Jewell families and their descendants.

[Also with:] A small group of Civil War letters and ephemera, several of which are associated with Charles E. Wilcox, Ohio 14th Infantry. Also accompanied by two war-date images: a CDV standing portrait of an unidentified armed soldier, and a sixth plate ruby ambrotype portrait, ca 1861-62, of an older private wearing a nine-button infantry frock coat and a red tinted sash which was exclusive to officers, indicating it may have been a photographer’s prop. HDS locates no records consistent with William J. Jewell of Michigan having served during the Civil War, though HDS indicates that his son Charles H. Jewell enlisted on 8/4/1861 as a Private with the Michigan 16th Infantry and served the duration of the war.

William J. Jewell was born in 1818 in Independence, Warren County, New Jersey, the 7th of 9 children. The History of Livingston County, Michigan (1880), indicates that he removed to Hillsdale County, Michigan, at the age of twentytwo. Two years later, ca 1842, he purchased eighty acres in Iosco, Michigan, and married Delilah Smith, originally of Virgil, Cortland County, New York.

Other members of the Jewell family departed New Jersey for Michigan as well including William’s younger brother John Waford Jewell (1820-1888), who is identified in the 1850 US Federal Census as residing at the home of William Jewell and engaging in agriculture alongside his brother. In 1852 William and John Jewell departed Michigan together for the California gold fields along with David F. Osborne (1824-1903), William Jewell’s brother-in-law. Several other prospectors who seem to have Michigan ties, including William Davis, Jr., Charles Taylor, and David Young, are also identified in Jewell’s writings exemplifying the ways in which large numbers of men from local communities departed for the gold fields, and the ways in which they remained connected while in California. With his health deteriorating, Jewell made the decision to return home in the fall of 1853. Census data indicates that Jewell returned to farming and spent the remainder of his life in Livingston County, Michigan. His 1885 obituary heralds “A Good Man Gone” and recalls his “successful visit to California,” lamenting that “his death is the removal of one of the best known figures in the agricultural history of [Livingston] county.”

325 [GOLD RUSH - EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Two daguerreotypes of miner William J. Jewell (1818-1885) in the California gold fields. [Poverty Bar, California], [29 July 1852].

Anonymous quarter and sixth plate daguerreotypes taken at the claim of William J. Jewell and his partners.

The images were undoubtedly taken on the same day, with Jewell as the central figure of each. Jewell is present in the foreground of each image, with his partners visible beyond. In the quarter plate he squats holding a gold pan; in the sixth he poses with a wheelbarrow. The scene shows a waterwheel feeding a “long Tom” sluice box and riffle box. Interestingly, the mat of the quarter plate is constructed of a hand cut piece of heavy brass, suggesting the daguerreotypes might have run out of commercially available mats.

Jewell departed for the California gold fields from Iosco, Livingston County, Michigan, in January 1852, leaving behind a wife and two young children. He commissioned the images offered here to send to his family to show life in the gold fields. Extraordinary details about the images are captured in Jewell’s 1852 correspondence to his wife and in his 1852 diary.

Writing to his wife Delilah Smith Jewell (1821-1901) from Poverty Bar, California, on 13 July [1852], Jewel shares his intention to have a likeness made: “I want if it is not too much trouble to have you go with the children to Howell or to Pickney [Michigan] & get yours & theirs miniature Pt [photograph or portrait] taken all together in one Frame or case...and mail them to Louisville

331 [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY - CALIFORNIA]. Half plate daguerreotype of Dona Ana Maria de la Guerra (b.1821) of Santa Barbara, wife of noted Californian Alfred Robinson (1806-1895). N.p., n.d.

Seated portrait of Dona Ana Maria “Anita” de la Guerra wearing a dark dress, her head draped with a dark lace hood leaving only her face and a sliver of her neck visible to the camera. Housed in a leatherette push-button case.

De la Guerra was born at the Pueblo de Los Angeles on 6 November 1821 to prominent Santa Barbara leader, Jose Antonio de la Guerra y Noriega, and his wife, Maria Antonia Carillo. Anita, as she was sometimes called, married Alfred Robinson on 24 January 1836, at the age of 15. Their wedding party was a remarkable affair, much of which was described in Richard Henry Dana Jr.’s 1840 classic, Two Years Before the Mast. Anita travelled to the east coast with her husband in 1838, staying there for around 13 years and only returning to Santa Barbara a few years before her untimely death (varying years of death are reported, from 1854-56).

2 photographs, described as a photonegative and a photoprint, being laterally reversed images of Dona Ana Maria as she is featured in the daguerreotype offered here, are part of the California Historical Society Collection, 18601960.

332 [WESTERN AMERICANA - GOLD RUSH]. Double-sided illustrated broadsheet advertising businesses in Nevada and California, incl. the mining town of Bodie, CA. Double-sided broadsheet, measuring about 11 x 18 inches, printed on card-stock, and loaded with advertisements for establishments primarily in the mining town (now popular ghost town) of Bodie, California, as well as businesses in other parts of Mono county and elsewhere in CA and Nevada. Included are scores of ads for saloons, hotels, a photo studio, and much more. There is an advertisement for J.M. Benton’s Livery and Stage Stable, with mention of notable driver Hank Monk, particularly interesting because I am unable to find another example of the accompanying illustration.

Perhaps most interestingly, the piece bears the stamp of California pioneer Hiram Leavitt and his property the Leavitt House (now the Bridgeport Inn). At first I thought it was a newspaper insert, but the thickness of the paper and some other factors have led me to conclude this is not the case. Though it is slightly trimmed in a way that makes me think it was at one point bound into something. At the time, Leavitt ran a stage coach shop out of the Leavitt House (which is advertised on the top of one side), so it’s possible this was used in his place business to advertise to potential travelers and fortune-seekers.

I have been unable to find any other copy of this piece, nor any other examples of many of these advertisements. $1,000 - 1,500

333 [WYOMING TERRITORY]. Letter archive of Wyoming Stock Growers Association member Lemuel C. Smith, Jr. (1857-1930) including descriptions of Cheyenne and the Wyoming cattle industry, ca 1866-1928.

Large archive of personal correspondence associated with East coast native turned Wyoming cattle rancher Lemuel Smith, Jr. and his wife Emma Amelia Shafer Delane Smith (1861-1934). More than 200 letters spanning 1866-1928 (bulk 1881-1889), most with original covers. Additional correspondents include extended family members Lemuel Smith, Sr. (ca 1803-1889) of New York, Mrs. Emmeline Arledge Shafer Delane (1834-1912) of New York, and Mrs. Mary Breaker Arledge (1811-1893) of Georgia. Lemuel Smith, Jr., a contemporary of pioneer Wyoming cattleman John C. Hunton, writes from historic Wyoming locations such as Fort Fetterman, Fort Laramie, Hunton’s Chugwater, Rock Creek, Schwartze’s Ranch at Pole Creek, and the OW Ranch. Provenance: Consignor relates that letters were found in a trunk purchased at an estate sale in Metuchen, New Jersey, sometime ca mid-1980s, and were purchased by consignor at South Jersey Wholesale Antiques Auction ca late 1980s or early 1990s. Emma and Lemuel Smith’s son, Lemuel Coles Smith (1882-1968), and grandson Lemuel Arledge Smith (1912-1985), were New Jersey residents.

SCARCE WYOMING TERRITORY LETTERS WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF CATTLE RANCHING AND CHEYENNE SOCIETY AND CULTURE Born in New York and educated at an East coast boarding school, Lemuel Smith, Jr. ventured to Wyoming in the spring of 1880. There he joined a wave of wealthy Europeans and Easterners who, lured by the promise of astounding profits, invested capital in land and cattle during the Wyoming cattle boom of the 1870s and early 1880s. In 1881 Smith married Miss Emma Shafer Delane, a young woman living in Cheyenne who had her own set of moneyed East coast connections. Lemuel Smith, Jr. established himself within the Cheyenne community, securing membership in the powerful Wyoming Stock Growers Association and in the gentleman’s club known as The Cheyenne Club.

By 1882 Cheyenne was a prosperous ranching hub and according to some sources was the wealthiest city per capita in the United States. Just five years later, drought, an overabundance of cattle, and the devastating winter of 18861887 drove many large cattle operations into bankruptcy. With the bulk of the letters in the archive spanning 1881-1889, Lemuel and Emma Smith’s letters encapsulate the burgeoning Wyoming Territory cattle industry, the flourishing city of Cheyenne, and the eventual collapse of the cattle business.

142 A M E R I C A N H I S T O R I C A L E P H E M E R A & P H O T 0 G R A P H Y

The first Wyoming Territory correspondence is written from May to November 1880 and constitutes letters between Emma Shafer Delane residing in Cheyenne and her mother Emmeline Delane in New York City. Miss Delane’s first letter of 15 May 1880 indicates that she has just arrived in Cheyenne after a four day journey from New York City: “We got to Council Bluffs & changed cars for Cheyenne we saw the prairie both flat & rolling, the cattle ranches & men on horseback we saw two round ups & lots of sheep...the ranches are little bits of affairs made by logs...Cheyenne is very dusty too with no trees....”

Delane is in the company of family members, including her aunt Mrs. James G. Rieck, the wife of a New York financier who owned a Wyoming ranch. Delane’s letters and 1880-1881 newspaper reports from Cheyenne’s The Democratic Leader indicate that Miss Delane participated in social engagements in the city, including a 19 November 1880 amateur theatrical performance of “Sweethearts and Wives” benefitting the Sunday school of St. Mark’s Episcopal Parish, an event which she describes for her mother in a letter the following day. Presumably Miss Delane enjoyed the admiration of prominent gentleman cattle barons. A calling card from William Sturgis, Jr., a founder of The Cheyenne Club, is inscribed “With best wishes” to Miss Delane, and accompanies the lot along with a small group of social invitations addressed to either Miss Delane or Mr. and Mrs. Lemuel Smith. One invitation “to a Hop, At the Railroad House, Wednesday Evening, Dec. 15, 1880,” may represent the event at which Emma Delane and Lemuel Smith became acquainted. Listed among the 22 gentleman hosts of the “Hop” is Lemuel Smith, Jr. On 11 January 1881 Delane’s correspondence with Smith commences. Two weeks later Smith departs for a return trip home to New York City. Over just the next two months while separated Delane and Smith exchange more than two dozen letters. Notable is a letter of 5 April 1881 in which Smith describes his business partnership and his current financial issues: “You know that a year ago this Spring Mr. Williams and I started out to Cheyenne to go into business together, it was an understood thing that we would both put in $10,000 a piece....We bought a ranch for $34,000 paying $20,000 down carrying a mortgage of $14,000....I do not like to speak of the past, but I must here, you know Emma I played cards in Cheyenne and lost quite a round sum for which I am now thoroughly ashamed....” Smith continues detailing the finances of his ranch, indicating that Mr. Williams was unable to raise his portion of the mortgage as well. The ranch referred to here was one mortgaged from John C. Hunton, the prominent Wyoming rancher and diarist. The Smith family is

referenced in John Hunton’s diary as early as 1880 when Hunton indicates that W.B. Williams and Lem Smith purchased the Box Elder cattle herd for $34,000 and acquired Hunton’s “S.O.” Ranch on Box Elder Creek. Hunton’s 1881 diary records in April that Williams and Smith were delinquent on Box Elder Ranch notes, that Hunton started foreclosure proceedings against Williams and Smith in May, and that in June 1881 he repossessed the S.O. herd and other Box Elder property from Williams and Smith. A final diary entry in June notes that Lemuel Smith, Jr. and his father paid the mortgage and regained the Box Elder Ranch.

Lemuel Smith, Sr. was a prosperous New York businessman and hotel owner.

Smith Sr. corresponded regularly with his son about the ranch, offering advice on finances, improvements to the ranch, and other business considerations such as the potential arrival of the railroad. He writes on 29 May 1882: “...

[I] regret the removal of troops from Fort Fetterman as you are in section exposed to any raiding of Indians and Fort Laramie is some distance I believe from the Ranch.... The Hay crop is a consideration to you and the loss of the troops at the Fort will affect you financially....” In October 1882 the older Smith writes regarding his son’s proposition of buying another property: “Perhaps the whole matter has fallen through as it is the custom out in your section of the country to talk large and much terminates only in talk.” More than 25 letters in the archive are written from father to son between 1882-1889. Their correspondence indicates that the younger Smith continued to mishandle his finances often relying on his father to provide additional funds for the operation of the ranch and for household living expenses.

As was typical for many cattlemen, Smith Jr.’s time was spent alternating between Cheyenne, round ups, and maintaining his ranch properties. Smith often describes long days and nights in the saddle as part of rounds ups, as when writing from “OW Ranche” in May 1883: “We have been folding cattle right along since we started, and so have been standing night guard every night since we started, we turned the cattle lose yesterday so will have one or two good nights rest, but then hard work commences again....the cow boys say the grass is going to be so high that we cannot find the cattle[.] We have not commenced to brand calves yet, so cannot tell how they will turn out but think we will have a good crop.... Day before yesterday we drove cattle 15 miles in front of a blinding snow storm....” Smith occasionally gives additional details on cowboy culture as in this letter to Emma from “St. Denis [Road Ranch] Horseshoe” on 28 June 1881: “I wrote you back from Hunton’s there is no regular post office here, but Mr. Andrews is going in to town. I send this by

him.... This is 112 miles from town, and the round up is camped here tonight, so...tomorrow I take my place in round up again.... The core boys are here to night and I can just assure you that the beer is flying, and with the racket that is here, it is pretty hard for one to keep his thoughts to his writing....” Emma’s early replies to Smith include details of friends and family in Cheyenne, theatregoing, and other society happenings, as well as the occasional cattle industry gossip. A postscript to an August 1881 letter reads “P.S. Dear Lem Mr. Rieck has just received from Rems an offer of $70,000 for his cattle.” Following the birth of their son in 1882, Emma writes about home life, their child, and the difficulties she faces while on her own.

The 1884 Wyoming Stock Growers Association Brand Book lists “Lemuel Smith, Jr. - P.O. address Fort Fetterman, Wyoming. Range, Dry Creek, Lower Box and Lightning Creeks, north side Platte River” as well as his various brands.

In a letter written on Cheyenne Club letterhead dated 14 January 1884, Smith tells Emma “I have been to the Ranche, and found everything in good order. It has been a rather hard Winter, but from what I can hear, and see of the stock I do not think there has been any lost to speak of. Jim has built me a new Ranche on Dry Creek, and put up several new corralls.” The softening cattle market seems to be materializing, however, as he continues, saying: “Things are duller in Cheyenne than ever known before...at the present moment there is no money here and it is very hard work to get a few hundred dollars. I am almost worried to death. I hardly know what to do for I have no hopes of being able to get any money here to carry me through with, and hardly enough to live on....I have offered my herd of cattle for sale. I am going to try and get $120,000.00/100 for them if I can, and that feels like giving them away....”

Ultimately, Smith’s finances seem to have crumbled. By 1887 Emma writes to her mother that her husband was clerking in a clothing store because “things had come to a pass when it was either starve or work.” Three years later, the couple permanently relocated back to New York. The remaining letters in the archive describe their life back on the East coast, with many of the post-1900 letters written by Emma and Lemuel’s son to his parents.

FIRST EDITION of one of the most celebrated photographically illustrated works of exploration in the 19th century American West. This very scarce monograph is an amalgam of geographic and geologic data, blended with striking and dramatic landscape photographs taken along the line of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads in Wyoming, Utah and California.

In 1868-1869, Russell, on assignment for the UPRR, took more than 200 glass plate negatives of western scenery, railroad construction, etc. and published 50 of his prints in an exceedingly rare album entitled “The Great West Illustrated.” Hayden prepared “Sun Pictures” employing 30 of Russell’s “Great West” photographs, and added a descriptive text which would acquaint rail passengers with the geologic history and rock formations along the line, particularly between Cheyenne and Salt Lake City. Like the other western geologic surveyors, King, Wheeler, and Powell, Hayden early on recognized the immense popular appeal for illustrations of scenery in the Rockies, the Great Basin and the Sierras; the demand for this volume well exceeded Bien’s ability to bind them (see Foster, 1994, Life of Hayden, p. 195-198). $5,000 - 7,000

Uncredited, but possibly made in the early 1870s during a trip to Washington, DC. Verso bears penciled inscription reading, “1874 Son of the Star - Rushing Bear - Arikara North Dakota.” Because his father was named The Star, Rushing Bear was sometimes referred to as Son-of-The-Star.

The subject featured here is likely Fire Heart V (1851-1926), the principal leader of the Crow Feather Hair Ornaments band of Blackfoot Sioux.

Rushing Bear served as leader of the society that protected his tribe, and in 1874, he was called by the Indian Commissioner to meet with officials in Washington, DC. Rushing Bear, together with Bull Head, Peter Beauchamp I, Bad Gun, Bald Eagle, and Shows-Fear-in-the-Face, agreed to scout for the military in trade for protection from the Sioux Indians.

363 CHOATE, John N. (1848-1902), photographer. A pair of boudoir cards featuring Navajo student Tom Torlino at Carlisle Indian School, before and after. Carlisle, PA, ca 1882-86.

Tom Torlino entered the school at Carlisle on 21 October 1882 and departed on 28 August 1886. At some point during Tom’s time at the school, the Bureau of Indian Affairs must have enquired as to Tom’s health, perhaps suggesting that he should be returned to his home. This prompted a written reply (not included in this lot) from Superintendent Richard Henry Pratt, dated 4 January 1886, insisting that no issues with Torlino’s health were discovered when he was examined by the school physician, and that he should remain at Carlisle to finish out his enrollment term. Pratt writes again in August of that year, requesting to send Torlino home to serve as an example of the benefits of the school.

John N. Choate began a long photographic career at Carlisle, Pennsylvania in 1879 when the famous Carlisle Indian Industrial School was founded.

Superintendent Pratt commissioned Choate to take these “before and after” portraits to document the progress his school was making in “civilizing” the students. The photographs were distributed widely to Native American reservations to recruit new students, and to United States officials and wealthy donors to encourage their support. $600 - 800

Small folio leatherette album containing 71 silver gelatin photographs, each 8 x 6 1/4 in., mounted recto/verso on black pages; none identified, but scenes from Harvey’s extensive operation on the north rim of the Grand Canyon, n.d. but probably around 1920. Several are copyrighted within the negative “FH”, and we presume all were taken by an official Harvey photographer.

An exceptional album documenting the efforts by the Harvey organization to popularize the American Southwest, and the Grand Canyon in particular as a tourist destination. $2,000 - 3,000

160 A M E R I C A N H I S T O R I C A L E P H E M E R A & P H O T 0 G R A P H Y

381 [WESTERN AMERICANA - NEW MEXICO]. Album containing photographs of cowboys and cattle in Colfax County, New Mexico, incl. views of the Urraca Ranch. Ca 18851895.

Oblong quarto album (approx. 10 x 12 1/2 in.). 135 photographs, majority approx.

3 1/2 x 4 1/2 in. or smaller, with the exception of 13 photographs measuring 5 3/4 x 8 in. Photographs mounted recto/verso on 9 3/4 x 11 3/4 in. album pages, most with manuscript caption. Contemporary quarter calf.

The album contains 80+ photographs of western subjects, most notably cowboys and cattle. The majority of the photographs were taken in and around Cimarron, Elizabethtown, Raton, and Springer, all of Colfax County, New Mexico, around 18851895 when the Urraca Ranch was owned by an Englishman named Francis Clutton.

Most, if not all, of this land was once part of the area known as the Maxwell Land Grant. The present album was discovered in England, and according to the 1901 census, Francis Clutton was visiting England in 1901, so it is possible that he brought the album with him at that time. Clutton subsequently died in Colorado in 1901, having become a naturalized American citizen.

The 68 smaller photographs (approx. 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 in. or smaller) are more candid in nature, providing views taken in and around the ranch. While the photographer is unknown, he was almost certainly an enthusiastic amateur with a desire to document ranch life as he experienced it. One of the characters pictured in the album is a man identified as Marion Littrell. Although Littrell was working as a cowboy at the ranch in Urraca when these photographs were taken, he subsequently became sheriff of Colfax County. At that time, he was involved in quite a number of local ‘events’ and was one of the few men known to have ‘faced down’ the infamous gunfighter and enforcer Clay Allison. Littrell’s well-documented life journey has been used to calculate the time in which these photographs were likely taken.

The 13 large photographs (approx. 5 3/4 x 8 in.) appear to have been professionally produced. One of the photographs is credited in the negative to William A. White, who operated a studio in Raton, New Mexico at this time. Although the remaining 12 images lack a photographer’s imprint, it is possible that they were taken by White as well. Scenes include: View on Urraca Ranch. Spanish Peaks. -- View on Urraca Ranch. Spanish Peaks. E’town. -- No 1 Raton Pass, A.T. & Santa Fé R.R. -- No 4 Raton Tunnel. A.T. & Santa Fé R.R. -- J. Shanks Breaking. -- Wood Carrier. -- Branding / Roundup. -- Round-up Dinner Time. With “Cowboys going to Dinner” written in negative.

-- Elizabethtown, NM. A sign for the “Golden Era Hotel” is visible on the roof of one of the buildings at far left. The entire area, up to Harry Brainard’s saloon, was destroyed in a fire in 1903, making this an important image of the New Mexico town.

-- Round-up, Chuck-Wagon, Caviyard. A “caviyard” is “a herd of lame and sick cattle” (See “The Diary of Tommy Gordon Bugle, July to December 20, 1867.”). -- Taos. San Geronimo Day (2). -- Santa Fé, Good Friday.

The remaining 50+ photographs provide candid views documenting travels outside of the United States, including Croatia, Sicily, Greece, Venice, and Turkey.

A rare album providing a fascinating look at ranch life in New Mexico during the last quarter of the 19th century. $2,000 - 3,000

Conditions of Sale These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction.

A. BEFORE THE AUCTION 1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance— are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact.

Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot.

2. CONDITION The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report.

3. VIEWING LOTS We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge.

If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping purposes.

4. ESTIMATES Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose.

Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges.

5. WITHDRAWAL We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.

B. REGISTERING TO BID 1. GENERAL We reserve the right to reject any bid. By participating in the sale, you represent and warrant that: (a) The bidder and/or purchaser is not subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or any other restriction on trade in the jurisdiction in which it does business as well as under the laws and regulations of the United States, and is not owned (nor partly owned) or controlled by such sanctioned person(s) (collectively, “Sanctioned Person(s)”); (b) Where you are acting as agent, your principal is not a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by Sanctioned Person(s); and (c) The bidder and/or purchaser undertakes that none of the purchase price will be funded by any Sanctioned Person(s), nor will any party be involved in the transaction including financial institutions, freight forwarders or other forwarding agents or any other party be a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by a Sanctioned Person(s), unless such activity is authorized in writing by the government authority having jurisdiction over the transaction or in applicable law or regulation.

2. NEW BIDDERS New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity. (a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s

name and registered address, together with documentary proof of directors and beneficial owners. (c) Trusts, partnerships, offshore companies, and other business entities must contact us in advance of the auction to discuss our requirements. If we are not satisfied with the information you provide us in our bidder identification and other registration procedures, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid.

3. RETURNING BIDDERS If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction.

4. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal.

5. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction.

6. OUR BIDDING SERVICES We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services. (a) Phone Bids: You must contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction to arrange a phone bid. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff is available to take the bids. We agree that we may record telephone bids. (b) Internet Bids: You can bid in our live sales via our bidding platform or through third-party bidding sites. (c) Written Bids: You can find a Written Bid Form at the auction location, or online at www.hindmanauctions.com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least twenty-four (24) hours before the auction. We will endeavor to execute written bids at the lowest possible price consistent with the reserve.

If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids.

7. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a temporary authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 2 to 7 days.

C. DURING THE AUCTION 1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION (a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites.

Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (b) Online Auctions. The auctioneer will accept bids from Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (c) Timed Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion.

2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1).

3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller.

If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at a set increment lower than the lot’s low estimate and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold.

4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges. Please note that Hindman will not accept payments for purchased lots from any party other than the purchaser, unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and Hindman prior to the sale.

D. AFTER THE AUCTION 1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots except for those in Coins, Medals & Banknotes; Sports Memorabilia; and Arms, Armor & Militaria auctions we charge twenty-six percent (26%) of the hammer price up to and including $1,000,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $1,000,001 up to and including $5,000,000; and fifteen percent (15%) of any amount in excess of $5,000,001. For all lots offered in Coins, Medals & Banknotes we charge a buyer’s premium of twenty-one percent (21%) of the hammer price. Sports Memorabilia; and Arms, Armor & Militaria auctions we charge a buyer’s premium of twenty percent (20%) of the hammer price. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium.

2. TAXES The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required.

3. MAKING PAYMENT (a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date. (b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name. (c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways: (i) Wire transfer. (ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed. (iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us.

(iv) Credit card: Credit card payments may not exceed $10,000 and a convenience fee of 3% will be added to each credit card payment. (v) ACH Bank Transfer (d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1550 West Carroll Avenue, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department.

4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you.

5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse.

6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion: (a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due. (b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation. (c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount. (d) We can hold you legally responsible for the amount you owe us and bring legal proceedings against you to recover the amount owed by you, plus other losses, interest, legal fees, and costs as allowed by law. (e) We can reveal your identity and contact details to the seller. (f) We can reject any bids made by or on behalf of you in future auctions or require you to provide us with a deposit before accepting any bids. (g) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest, or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us. (h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate.

7. SHIPPING, COLLECTION, AND STORAGE (a) You must collect purchased lots within thirty (30) days of the auction. We can assist in making shipping arrangements by suggesting art handlers, packers, transporters, or experts, but you must arrange all transport and shipping with them, and we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect.

Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping. (b) If you do not collect any purchased lot within thirty (30) days following the auction, we may, at our sole option, (i) charge you storage and insurance costs; (ii) move the lot to another Hindman location or to a third-party warehouse, whereupon we will charge you transport costs, insurance costs, and administration fees for doing so, and you will be subject to the third-party storage warehouse’s standard terms and responsible for paying its standard fees and costs; or (iii) sell the lot in any commercially reasonable way we think appropriate. (c) In accordance with applicable state law, if you have paid for the lot in full but you do not collect the lot within the time specified by the law of the state where the auction takes place, we may charge you state sales tax for the lot. (d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6).

8. EXPORTING, IMPORTING, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES (a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot. (b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be

responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife.

E. WARRANTIES 1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

2. OUR LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows: (a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction.

After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty. (b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type. (c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified.

“Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty. (d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice. (e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion. (f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot. (g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else. (h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must (i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale. (i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. (j) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

3. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR BOOKS If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances: (a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms: (i) This additional warranty does not apply to (A) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards, or advertisements; or damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears, or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text or illustration; (B) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps, or periodicals; (C) books not identified by title; (D) lots sold without a printed estimate; (E) books that are described in the catalog as sold not subject to return; or (F) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale. (ii) To make a claim under this additional warranty, you must give written details of the defect within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale and return the lot within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale to the saleroom at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale. (iii) Paragraphs E(2)(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) also apply to a claim under this additional warranty. (c) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the additional warranty for books or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

4. JEWELRY (a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time. (b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report. (c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent.

The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report. (d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS (a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys. (b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use. (d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site.

Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap.

6. YOUR WARRANTIES You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money

F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M A G E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S . C O M 169

laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU (a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties. (b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale. (c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH. (d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services. (e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot. (f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.

G. OTHER TERMS 1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation.

2. RECORDINGS We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction.

3. COPYRIGHT We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein. You cannot use them without our prior written permission. We make no representation and offer no guarantee that the buyer of a lot will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights.

4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT If a court finds that any part of this agreement is invalid, illegal, or impossible to enforce, that part of the agreement will be treated as being deleted, and the rest of this agreement will not be affected.

5. TRANSFERRING YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES You may not grant a security over or transfer your rights or responsibilities under these terms unless we have given our written permission. This agreement will be binding on your successors or estate and anyone who takes over your rights and responsibilities.

6. PERSONAL INFORMATION We will hold and process your personal information in line with our privacy policy at www.hindmanauctions.com.

7. WAIVER No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy contained herein shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

8. LAW AND DISPUTES This agreement, and any noncontractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or any other rights you may have relating to the purchase of a lot will be governed by the laws of Illinois. You and we agree to try to settle the dispute by mediation submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in Illinois. If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days from the date when mediation is initiated, then the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Illinois, and the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.

The arbitrator shall order the production of documents only upon a showing that such documents are relevant and material to the outcome of the dispute.
