Books from the Private Collection of Lois Wille Lots 96-99 Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lois Wille wrote for Chicago’s three biggest daily newspapers over the course of a four-decade career; she became a journalistic institution in her own right, exposing corruption and championing Chicago’s neighborhoods and sensible city planning. While writing for the Daily News, she won her first Pulitzer Prize for public service (the highest honor in journalism) in 1963 for a fivepart series calling attention to the issue of providing birth control services in public health programs. She reported for the Daily News until 1976, when she took over the paper’s editorial page. After the Daily News went out of business in 1978, she moved to The Chicago Sun-Times, running the editorial page until the paper was bought in 1984. She went to The Chicago Tribune, where, in 1989, she won her second Pulitzer Prize, this time for Editorial Writing. On her retirement, in 1991, journalist Mike Royko said of Wille, “Over the years, I’ve seen lots of Pulitzer Prize winners in action, but I have never seen anyone who is superb at everything, except Lois. She’s brilliant.” Over the course of her career, Wille also published two books about Chicago: Forever Open, Clear, and Free: The Struggle for Chicago’s Lakefront (1972), and At Home in the Loop: How Clout and Community Built Chicago’s Dearborn Park (1997). Bruce Dold, publisher of the Tribune, remembered Wille: “Lois was one of the great journalists in Chicago history. She changed the city as a writer, as an editor and as a community leader.” Former Tribune editor Ann Marie Lipinski recalled: “She really suited Chicago. You couldn’t imagine her in any other place. She knew it so well and cared about it so deeply. She and the city grew up alongside each other in ways that made both of them stronger.”

BYRNE’S REMARKABLE RENDERING OF EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY USING FOURCOLOR PRINTING. The stark use of primary colors was envisaged by Byrne as a teaching aid. “Each proposition is set in Caslon italic, with a four line initial engraved on wood by Mary Byfield: the rest of the page is a unique riot of red, yellow and blue ... attaining a verve not seen again on book pages till the days of Dufy, Matisse and Derain” (McLean). Byrne’s depiction of Pythagoras is a classic, with the squares being visually interpreted so in vivid blocks of colour. In a technical tour-de-force, Whittingham skillfully aligned the different color blocks for printing to produce “One of the oddest and most beautiful books of the whole century” (McLean).

A COMPLETE RUN OF THE LONGEST-RUNNING CONTINUOUS SERIES OF BOOKS IN THE WORLD First conceived by Thomas E. Donnelley (son of Richard Robert Donnelley), R. R. Donnelley & Sons firm has published one volume a year at Christmas since 1903. The first few volumes focused on speeches and writings of noted Americans, but by 1911, the selections began emphasizing first-person narratives of American history, relating to frontier life, the Civil War, early exploration, and overland voyages. Most were written in the mid-19th-century, and had become hard to obtain, and included works written by Zebulon Pike, John Long, Alexander Ross, and Alexander Mackenzie. By 1995, selections became more globally-focused, reflecting the expansion of the R. R. Donnelley company. The Lakeside Classics are “understood to be a uniquely Chicago product...In his preface to the 1928 volume, Donnelley, reflecting on the commitment to continue the series for another twenty-five years, wrote, ‘If the traditions of any press in America will continue for this length of time, we believe those of the Lakeside Press will.’ The history of this venerable company and its annual Lakeside Classics is inextricably linked to, and closely interwoven with, the history of Chicago and its reputation as a place where commercial printing and the allied arts were pioneered and flourished” (Coventry, Chicago by the Book 101 Publications that Shaped the City and its Image, p. 63).

180 [THE LITTLE REVIEW]. ANDERSON, Margaret, editor. POUND, Ezra, editor. HEAP, Jane, editor. The Little Review. Vol. I, No. 1 through Vol. XII, No. 2. Chicago, New York, and Paris: 1914-1929. Together, 81 of 82 numbers (lacking supplment to Vol. XII, No. 1), plus one duplicate number (Vol. VI, No. 4), various 8vo and 4to sizes. Illustrated throughout. (Variously worn with browning and some light marginal chipping to a few numbers, but overall a very nice set). All in original publisher’s printed wrappers (a few numbers with light chipping and occasional losses); housed in 7 cloth slipcases. A VIRTUALLY COMPLETE RUN OF ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PUBLICATIONS OF ITS TIME Margaret Anderson founded The Little Review in Chicago in 1914. Anderson, and co-editor Jane Heap, published works by a number of transatlantic modernists, cultivating early examples of experimental writing and art, and including early examples of surrealist artwork and Dadaism in later issues. Throughout its run, The Little Review included work by Sherwood Anderson, Hart Crane, Hilda Doolittle, T. S. Eliot, Emma Goldman, James Joyce, Amy Lowell, Mina Loy, Gertrude Stein, and William Carlos Williams, and art by Hans Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Ferdinand Léger, Pablo Picasso and Joseph Stella. INCLUDING THE FIRST PRINTED PORTION OF JAMES JOYCE’S ULYSSES Ezra Pound, the journal’s “foreign correspondent,” was instrumental in convincing Anderson and Heap to serialize Ulysses. Ultimately, they ran 23 installments covering the narrative from the “Telemachus” episode (chapter 1, March 1918) through the first portion of “Oxen in the Sun” (chapter 14; September-December 1920). Once Ulysses began to attract attention, distribution of the periodical became difficult, and the U. S. Post Office began seizing issues on the grounds of obscenity in January 1919 (that issue present in this set). Issues in May 1919, January 1920, and July-August 1920 (all present in this set) were also seized, and in September of 1920, an official complaint was lodged with the New York Court of Special Sessions. Anderson and Heap ultimately lost at trial, and were fined 50 dollars each. The September-December 1920 issue, bound in black wrappers (in mourning?), includes commentary from both Heap (“Art and the Law”) and Anderson (“An Obvious Statement (for the millionth time)”): “Mr. Sumner is operating in realms in which it can be proved that he cannot function intelligently... James Joyce has never writen [sic] anything, and will never be able to write anything, that is not beautiful.” Subsequent issues include commentary on the censorship and publication of Ulysses. After it was announced that Shakespeare and Company would published Ulysses in book form, Jane Heap concludes the Autumn 1921 issue with a brief note: “before we could revive from our trial for Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’ it was announced for publication in book form. We limp from the field.” COMPLETE SETS ARE VERY RARE ON THE MARKET: Only one nearly-complete run of The Little Review has appeared at auction in the last 40 years (sold Sotheby’s New York, 1977).

Fine Press Books Lots 264-359 Including Property from the Estate of Lucia von Borosini Batten, Sold to Benefit the Albuquerque Museum Foundation Lucia von Borosini Batten was born in Chicago in 1911, the only child of Baron Victor von Borosini and Edith Dorr von Borosini. Her parents were affiliated with Hull House, the settlement house established in Chicago for social reform by philanthropist and social innovator Jane Addams; Ms. Addams was Lucia’s godmother. The von Borosini family traced their lineage back to Venetian nobility, while the Dorrs of New England prospered in the lumber and mining industries. Ms. Batten was educated in Europe and America and spoke five languages. She traveled extensively throughout her life, attending private schools in four different countries. In the 1950s, she purchased an 1875 adobe hacienda in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which was later placed on the national register of Historic Places. She loved collecting “because she could,” and in addition to paintings, furniture and other decorative objects, she built a substantial book collection consisting of more than 25,000 volumes. The collection was housed in its own private library, an adjacent structure which she built in the same territorial style as her adobe hacienda. She was an active collector throughout her life, and maintained friendships with other collectors and writers, including Vyvyan Holland. Portions of her book collection are now at the Huntington Library and the library at the University of New Mexico. In 2005, at the age of 93, Ms. Batten passed away, leaving her old adobe and much of its contents to the Albuquerque Museum Foundation, a private non-profit whose mission is to raise funds for exhibition support of permanent and traveling exhibits, acquisitions of artwork and historic objects and educational programs at the Albuquerque Museum. Restored and remodeled, the old adobe hacienda serves as the offices for the Albuquerque Museum Foundation, where the bedrooms were converted to offices, and the library serves as a meeting space for the Foundation and continues to hold thousands of books. Lucia von Borosini Batten and her husband in their Philadelpiha library.

331 [MORRIS, William, his copy] -- [KELMSCOTT PRESS]. MORRIS, William (1834-1896). Gothic Architecture: A Lecture for the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society. Hammersmith: The Kelmscott Press, 1893. 16mo (145 x 102 mm). Printed in Golden type in black and red, 6-line and 40-line initial capitals, title-page printed in red and black, shoulder notes printed in red. Original holland-backed blue paper boards, printed title on upper cover, uncut (spine ends slightly frayed, some minor soiling or spotting to covers, spine, and fore-edge, hinges loose, vellum pastedowns slightly lifting at edges). Provenance: William Morris (signed and dated “William Morris Nov: 9th 1893” on second blank leaf, his Kelmscott House Hammersmith bookplate). ONE OF 45 COPIES ON VELLUM. WILLIAM MORRIS’S COPY, SIGNED BY MORRIS WITH HIS BOOKPLATE. One of 45 copies on vellum of a total edition of 1,545, FIRST ISSUE, with the mis-prints “gilds” for “guilds” in the shoulder note on p. 41, and “Van Eck” instead of “Van Eyck” p. 45 line 1. According to Peterson, the second state readings are present in both the second and third impressions and in all the vellum copies (unlike the present copy, and possibly unique). Work on the book began in August 1893, before production moved to the New Gallery for the annual Arts and Crafts Exhibition. It “was printed in public, under the eyes of an interested and constantly renewed crowd, whose presence imposed a severe strain upon the pressman Collins’s Celtic modesty” (Sparling, The Kelmscott Press and William Morris Master-Craftsman, 1924, p. 87). “It was the first book printed in 16mo. The four-line initials used in it appear here for the first time.” (Cockerell 18). Peterson A18 (recording another copy on vellum with Morris’s bookplate and a note by Cockerell recording its sale to Henry Gamman, later offered in the sale of the Estelle Doheny Collection, Christie’s New York, 19 May 1989, lot 2303). $6,000-8,000

332 [KELMSCOTT PRESS]. COCKERELL, Sydney C. (1867-1962). Some German Woodcuts of the Fifteenth Century. Hammersmith: The Kelmscott Press, 1897 [issued 1898]. 4to (285 x 209 mm). Printed in Golden type in black and red, 35 reproductions of early woodcuts (process blocks by Walker & Boutall) printed on rectos only of 23 sheets, each with printed caption, printer’s device. (Slight marginal staining from binding pigment upper corner.) A VARIANT BINDING, POSSIBLY UNIQUE (see below), original dark green limp vellum, tan silk ties, spine gilt-lettered in Golden type, yapp edges (some very light wear to pigment at extremities, tiny stain on lower cover, otherwise fine); half morocco slipcase. Provenance: Sydney C. Cockerell (18671962), private secretary to William Morris, English Museum curator (signed in ink and dated “S. C. Cockerell April 1898”); Edith Rockefeller McCormick (1872-1932), American Socialite (bookplate on verso of third blank leaf; sold Anderson Galleries, 23 February 1934, lot 308). ONE OF 8 COPIES PRINTED ON VELLUM. SIGNED BY SYDNEY COCKERELL & WITH WILLIAM MORRIS’S SIGNATURE pasted inside lower cover. Original letterpress prospectus laid in. IN A VARIANT BINDING not mentioned in Cockerell or Peterson, who both call for the work to be bound in quarter holland, with printed blue paper over boards. The present copy with characteristic Golden type gilt lettering on spine: “on the spines of the vellum bindings, Morris often used enlarged versions of the Golden and Troy Types” (Peterson p. xxxv). A few green vellum bindings by J. and J. Leighton of London for the Kelmscott Press are known. In his “Annotated List of All the Books Printed at the Kelmscott Press in the Order in Which They Were Issued”, Cockerell mentions four copies of The Story of the Glittering Plain printed on vellum which “Mr. Morris had...bound in green vellum, three of which he gave to friends.” The Estelle Doheny collection included a copy of The Floure and the Leafe... in a “possibly unique” vellum binding; that work was also only issued in quarter holland, but the Doheny copy was accompanied by a letter from Cockerell to H. Buxton Forman explaining that “no copies of the Floure & the Leafe were issued officially in vellum, but there was a man at Hinchley who used to get us to bind his copies of the half holland books in vellum” (see her sale, Christie’s New York, 19 May 1989, Lot 2343). One of 8 copies printed on vellum of a total edition of 233. At Morris’s request, starting in October 1892, Cockerell spent several years studying and cataloguing Morris’s collection of medieval manuscripts and incunabula; resulting from this project, Morris planned to issue a heavily illustrated catalogue of his library. After Morris’s death, the project was abandoned. Rather than print the work elsewhere, Cockerell “decided to combine the illustrations of woodcuts that had already been prepared... with portions of an article by Morris, ‘On the Artistic Qualities of the Woodcut Books of Ulm and Augsburg in the Fifteenth Century.’ ...The book sold briskly before publication. ‘There has been a great rush on the German woodcuts & they were all sold out last week,’ Cockerell wrote to Leighton on 30 November 1897.’...A good many people have been left out in the cold, as orders keep coming in! I suppose it is the announcement that the Press is closing that has made people so eager’” (Peterson). Cockerell 49; Peterson A49. Edith Rockefeller McCormick, daughter of John D. Rockefeller, married Harold Fowler McCormick, son of Cyrus Hall McCormick, and was prominent in Chicago social and cultural circles, supporting numerous social causes. She was a charter member of the Art Institute, supporting it both financially and with loans of works from her extensive art collection. McCormick also helped found the Grand Opera Company in 1909. A generous contributor to the Zurich Psychological society, she spearheaded the effort to have Carl Jung’s writings translated into English. The sale of her library in 1934 included over 120 works by John Ruskin bound by the Doves Bindery, as well as 9 works printed on vellum by the Kelmscott Press. AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY, RARE PRINTED ON VELLUM, IN A VARIANT BINDING: We trace no copies of Some German Woodcuts printed on vellum at auction; we find no other copy of this work thus bound in vellum. $20,000-$30,000

374 MONTRESOR, John (1736-1799). A Plan of the City of New-York & its Environs… Survey’d in the Winter, 1775. London: A. Dury, [1775]. Hand-colored copper-engraved map with inset plan of New York Harbor, engraved by P. Andrews at the shop of Mary Ann Rocque. Overall sheet 29 5/8 x 22 in. (748 x 558 mm). (Some minor toning along centerfold, a few tiny spots.) RARE MONTRESOR PLAN OF NEW YORK CITY, second issue, with the altered survey date and the added Dury imprint. Issued just after the start of the Revolutionary War, the map is identical to the first issue except with the spurious statement added “Survey’d in the Winter, 1775,” when it was in fact surveyed in 1765. The Montresor map is the most detailed and accurate map of New York and its surrounding areas published during the colonial period. Most significantly, it is the first detailed map of the island of Manhattan beyond the city, and presents its topography before development. It includes Greenwich Village, manors of wealthy New York families, the road system north of the city, as well as elevated areas which have since been leveled. It also includes an inset map of the larger area of New York Harbor and its islands. General Thomas Gage, commander-in-chief of the British Army America, ordered Lieutenant John Montresor to conduct a survey of New York and its surrounding area in December, 1765, wanting an accurate map of Manhattan in anticipation that it would soon become a battleground. Montresor conducted his survey during a time of heightened tension and violence between the British Army, which was headquartered in New York, and colonial civilians. Working amidst the chaos of the Stamp Act Riots and general unrest, he conducted his survey in secret.

377 NOLLI, Giovanni Battista (c.1692-1756). [Nuova Pianta di Roma.] Rome: 1748. Engraved wall map of Rome, 24 joined segments mounted on linen, overall image size 66 1/2 x 78 3/4 in. (1,708 x 2,061 mm) on 1,740 x 2,065mm sheet (scattered few tiny ink stains, some segments with very pale toning, laid down on linen); framed (unexamined out of frame). The finest of the eighteenth-century plans of Rome and the first plan of the city based upon geodetic principles. With Rocque’s plan of London and Bretez’s plan of Paris, Nolli’s plan ranks as one of the greatest eighteenth-century plans of any European city. Rome appears in its essentially Renaissance form with large areas within the ancient walls still occupied by villas with extensive fields, orchards and gardens. The Coliseum, for example, still stands in virtually open country. Many important ancient sites, such as the Circus Maximus and the Forum, are shown in an unearthed state. The lower sheets are almost entirely taken up by lavish, finely engraved ornamentation in the style of Piranesi. In the lower left corner is a montage of classical landmarks, including the Coliseum, Arch of Constantine, Forum, and Trajan’s Column, before which are allegorical figures including Romulus and Remus in the form of broken ancient statuary. The lower right corner contains an allegorical representation of the Church seated before Michelangelo’s assemblage of buildings on the Capitoline Hill. The vignettes of allegorical figures are after Stefano Pozzi. The plates for the assembled map were originally issued in book form, with title and index leaves, not present here. Frutaz CLXIXa.

381 RATZER, Bernard (fl. 1756-1777). Plan of the City of New York in North America, surveyed in the years 1766 & 1767. London: Jefferys and Faden, “Jan.y” 12, 1776. Copper-engraved plan of New York on four sheets, joined. Overall sheet 48 ½ x 35 ½ in (1235 x 900 mm), deckle edges. With engraved panoramic view of New York below map after a painting by Robert Davies at bottom. (Dissected into 16 sections, with later linen backing; some minor curling at seam edges). Float-mounted and framed. “PERHAPS THE FINEST MAP OF AN AMERICAN CITY and its environs produced in the eighteenth century” (Augustyn). Second issue (after the ca 1770 issue known in three copies). The Ratzer map is a cartographic masterpiece, the finest map of any American city produced in the 18th century, and is one of the most important iconographic symbols of the city of New York. Its artistic virtuosity and unrivaled accuracy define it as the apogee of a sequence of great maps of the city produced just before and during the Revolutionary War with a sharpness and sensitivity of draftsmanship that makes it stand alone from any other American maps of this period. Ratzer’s map developed from surveys of 1766 and 1767, the first engraved form was his “Ratzen” plan of the city itself published in 1769, engraved by Kitchen. By ca 1770 the larger plan of the city and its environs had been finished and was published undated by Thomas Kitchin. The elaborate survey showing the southern end of Manhattan island, (as far north as 50th Street today), the marshy New Jersey shores of the Hudson, Kennedy, Bucking and Governors Islands, and parts of present-day Brooklyn along the East River. Title set on lower left corner of map with decorative cartouche and list of references, one compass rose, inset scale bar, and dedication to Sir Henry Moore, Governor of New York. The map surmounting an engraved panoramic view of the city from Governors island, after a 1760 view by Captain Davies. The Ratzer map was first published in London by Thomas Kitchin ca 1770, but only two copies of this first issue survive today. The present copy, the second issue, was published by Jefferys and Faden, and although they were commercial publishers, it was rarely included in Faden’s North American Atlas of 1777. Bernard Ratzer served in the British Army in the 60th or American regiment. His earliest known map is a manuscript chart of Passamquoddy Bay in Maine in 1756. Various other manuscript plans of forts followed, and he collaborated with Sauthier on his survey of New York, published in 1776. In 1769 Sir Henry Moore gave him the task of surveying the New York New Jersey border. Despite the commercial nature of Faden and Jefferys, this New York plan had a limited circulation and certainly very few copies are seen on the market today. It ranks as one of the most attractive of all maps, one of the high points of the art of the military map maker. Cohen & Augustyn, Manhattan in Maps, pp.73-77; Schwartz & Ehrenberg, The Mapping of America, p. 192; Stokes, Iconography (“one of the most beautiful, important and accurate plans of New York.”), p. 341. $80,000-120,000

414 [GRANT, Ulysses S.— GRANT, Julia, First Lady]. Carved Applewood and 18-karat Gold Jewelry Suite, Browne & Spaulding, Jewelers, New York City, 1865. A UNIQUE SET OF JEWELRY PRESENTED TO MRS. ULYSSES S. GRANT MADE FROM WOOD CUT FROM THE APPLE TREE UNDER WHICH GENERAL GRANT’S OFFICERS MET GENERAL LEE ON THE MORNING OF THE SURRENDER AT APPOMATTOX, 9 APRIL 1865 Comprising a hinged hair comb, a brooch, and a pair of earrings with acorns and oak leaves with black enamel accents set in 18-karat yellow gold, hair comb set with 14 acorns and 24 leaves, earrings each set with 3 acorns and 2 leaves (evidence of later screwbacks), brooch set with 3 (of 4) acorns and 6 leaves (brooch lacking one wooden acorn). Laid in original fitted velvet-lined box marked Browne & Spaulding, upper lid with gilt presentation statement from the jeweler (some light rubbing). Provenance: Mrs. Julia Dent Grant (presentation case from the jeweler; brooch engraved on back: “Mrs. Genl. Grant from Browne & Spaulding”; pencil note in her hand laid in: “I wish this to go to my dear Grandson Ulysses S. Grant, 3rd Fred’s son. J. D. G. May 14th 1901”); by descent to present owner. On the morning of April 9th, 1865, Lee sent Grant a letter requesting a meeting to discuss his army’s surrender. Lt. Colonel Orville E. Babcock and his orderly, Captain Dunn, took Grant’s reply to Lee, who they found resting under an apple tree near the Appomattox River. Lee, his Aide-de-Camp Lt. Colonel Charles Marshall, and Private Joshua O. Johns rode toward Appomattox Court House, accompanied by Babcock and Dunn. Marshall and Johns rode ahead of Lee to find a place where the Generals could confer when they encountered Wilmer McLean, who offered that Lee and Grant could use his home. In the late afternoon of April 9th, 1865, Lee surrendered to Grant, ending the Civil War. After the surrender, many historic artifacts were taken by soldiers seeking souvenirs, including portions of the apple tree under which Lee sat. Writing a history of his regiment, John L. Smith publishes a letter he wrote to General Grant, October 3, 1884: “Dear Sir, I have read several articles in the papers of late alleging that the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox was not under an apple tree...on the morning of April 9, 1865, our regiment was lying near the hill. I was early at the spot and secured a piece of the tree. A number of officers were there also...and one of your orderlies was there and got a branch for you at the time. From this latter a set of jewelry was made by the Messrs. Browne, Spaulding & Co., of New York, for your wife, according to a paper I saw at the time” (History of the Corn Exchange Regiment..., 1888, pp. 675-676). Smith publishes Grant’s response in full along with a facsimile of the note, written October 16, 1884: “General Lee was seated on the ground, with his back resting against an apple tree, when General Babcock delivered to him my answer to his letter requesting an interview for the purpose of arranging terms of surrender. Lee was conducted to McLeans’ house, within our lines, before I got up [to the front]” (ibid, pp. 676-677). “A PRESENT FOR MRS. GRANT”: On the front page on August 26, 1865, The New York Times remarked on the set of jewelry created for Mrs. Grant: «The acorns cut from the wood of the famous, but no longer existing, apple tree at Appomattox Court-house, under which the terms of surrender of LEE›s army were agreed upon. ...The effect of the combination is exceedingly good.» Harper’s Weekly published an account as well as an illustration of the present set of jewelry on September 19, 1865 (Vol. IX, No., 454, pp. 565-566). Another less-complete set, comprising a brooch and earrings (but without the hair comb), was made by Browne & Spaulding after the present set at William Cullen Bryant’s request for his wife. (See the sale of “A Portion of The Library of William Cullen Bryant,” Anderson Galleries, 1908, lot 407, later sold Skinner Auctions, 1 March 2015, lot 13). Property from the Family of Ulysses S.

Longstreet, who I hope has recovered from his wound.” Lee continues: “I hope you will receive your portion safely.

John Todd Stuart (1807-1885) made Lincoln’s acquaintance while serving in the same battalion during Black Hawk War in 1832. Stuart was elected a member of the Illinois House of Representatives between 1832 and 1836, and encouraged the young Lincoln to study law. The two subsequently partnered in Springfield from1837 until 1841. He had a significant influence on Lincoln’s career as a lawyer and politician. Stuart was a favorite cousin of Lincoln’s future wife, Mary Todd.

431 LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865). Autograph letter signed “Lincoln & Herndon”. To Messrs. S. C. Davis & Co. Springfield, 30 November 1858. 1 page, 4to, 214 x 196 mm, creased, a few small stains. Written during his final and most famous legal partnership with William Herndon, Lincoln advises Samuel C. Davis & Co. regarding foreclosures and property the company had been awarded in a case handled by their firm. “Gentlemen / Yours of the 27th returning letter of Mr. Fishback is just received. What amount will have to be paid Mr. Fishback, we can not tell until we hear further from him - We await your direction about making sales - The first Monday of January will be the 3rd day - so that judgment can be obtained at the January Term if process be served as early as the 24th of Dec - being ten days - If suit be commenced as early as the 15th the Marshal will have from that till the 24th to find the parties, and serve the process - reasonable time, but not quite so safe as if it were a little greater. Yours &c / Lincoln & Herndon.” The young Arkansas lawyer (and later Governor of Arkansas), William Meade Fishback handled foreclosure proceedings for Lincoln & Herndon, and is referenced in the opening of this letter. In 1857, Fishback moved to Springfield, Illinois, where he was admitted to the bar and briefly practiced law. Poor health prompted him to move to Sebastian County, Arkansas in 1858. In 1861, Fishback was elected to the Arkansas Secession Convention as a proUnion delegate. Fishback was elected Governor of Arkansas in 1892. William Henry Herndon (1818-1891) was born in Kentucky and moved to Springfield with his family in 1823. Herndon worked as a store clerk before studying law in the Logan and Lincoln partnership. Admitted to the bar in 1844, Lincoln later that year chose him as his junior partner. The partnership of Lincoln and Herndon lasted until Lincoln’s death in 1865, and handled at least 3,200 cases in the county courts of central Illinois, the Illinois Supreme Court, and the federal courts in Illinois.

439 [LINCOLN ASSASSINATION]. Daily Morning Chronicle. Vol. III, Number 140. Washington, [D.C.], Saturday Morning, April 15, 1865. 4 pages, on a bifolio, 743 x 524 mm. Unbound as issued. (Some splitting at folds with minor loss, some other old cellotape repairs with associated discoloration through some account text on first page; some minor foxing.) VERY RARE EARLY ISSUE OF A WASHINGTON D.C. NEWSPAPER ACCOUNT OF THE ASSASSINATION. The Washington D.C. Daily Morning Chronicle contains some of the earliest printed reports of the assassination in the city where it had only recently occurred, and when many details were yet unknown. The front page with heading at the top of the third column: “MURDER of PRESIDENT LINCOLN” “Attempt To Assassinate The Secretary of State” “Manner Of Assassination” “Safety of Other Members of the Cabinet” “Description Of The Assassin” “The Police Investigation” “The Surgeons’ Latest Reports”. The text begins: “At half past ten o’clock last night, in the front upper left-hand private box in Ford’s Theatre, while the second scene of the third act of ‘Our American Cousin’ was being played, a pistol was fired and Abraham Lincoln shot through the neck and lower part of the head...” This lengthy & detailed early account takes nearly 3 columns of the front page, but nowhere mentions the death of the President. Subsequent issues of this paper of the same day are indicated at top of the sixth column with “Second Edition” or “Third Edition” with additional updated information added below. The remainder of the front page contains reports previously planned front page content concerning the closing events of the Civil War, with assassination coverage continuing on the second page. Although the third page primarily contains advertisements, the first ad listed under “Amusements” is for Ford’s New Theatre with note: “There will be not performance at this theatre tonight.” This historic newspaper was published at the Chronicle Building located on 9th St. between E and F Streets, which was in the same block as Ford’s Theatre. Newspapers from Washington reporting the assassination of Abraham Lincoln are scarce and desirable. $1,000-1,500

440 [LINCOLN ASSASSINATION]. GARDNER, Alexander (1821-1882). Incidents of the War | Sic Semper Sicariis [caption title]. Washington, D. C.: Philip & Solomons, 1865. Albumen photographs on printed mounts, entitled: “Arrival on Scaffold. No. 1.” -- “Reading the Death Warrant. No. 2.” -- “Adjusting the Ropes. No. 3.” -“(Thus be it ever with Assassins.) No. 4.” Suite of 4 albumen photographs, each approximately 6 7/8 x 8 7/8 in. (173 x 225 mm), on original printed mounts with Gardner’s credit, titles, date, and copyright printed recto. (Some minor dampstaining affecting left side of image, some marginal soiling, surface abrasion to first albumen photograph, small crease to fourth albumen photograph, small abrasions to mounts verso.) All mounted on stubs, bound in early 20th-century half green morocco, marbled boards (some overall wear). RARE SERIES OF IMAGES OF THE EXECUTION OF THE LINCOLN ASSASSINATION CONSPIRATORS The series of images taken by Gardner and his assistant, Timothy O’Sullivan, in the yard of the Washington Penitentiary on the morning of 7 July 1865, is considered to be one of the first examples of photojournalism. Roughly 1,000 people attended the execution of the conspirators; most were soldiers, but many journalists and members of the public. The grim images show the accused: Mary Surratt (who kept a boardinghouse where the conspirators met), George Atzerodt (charged with the attempted assassination of Vice President Johnson), David Herold (who assisted Booth on his flight from Washington) and Lewis Payne (who attempted to assassinate Secretary of War Stanton). Though a Presidential pardon was expected for Surratt, one was never issued, and Surratt became the first woman ever hanged by the U. S. Government. As Gardner’s biographer Mark Katz writes, these scenes “remain the most vivid images from the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. It was the longest picture-story recording of an event to date, capturing a complex, significant series of events. Gardner and O’Sullivan’s execution series was a 19thcentury precursor of the kind of photo-journalism that subsequently became so important” (Witness to an Era, p.192). Individual images from this sequence of The Incidents of War are scarce, and there is little informed consensus on the actual number of images comprising the complete series. Not present in this group is the rare image of the ropes hanging empty prior to the hanging, and what can be considered adjunct images (the photograph of the executioners and the photograph of the initial grave sites). Only 3 lots containing 4 or more images from the series can be traced at auction in the last 20 years: The Laico set (containing 5 images), sold Christie’s East 12 May 1999; another set (containing 7 images) sold Christie’s New York, 12 September 2000; and another set (containing 4 images) sold at Swann Galleries, 17 October 2013. $5,000-7,000 V I E W T H E C O M P L E T E C ATA L O G U E AT H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S .

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE SELLERS Evaluation of Property If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department at 312.280.1212 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Hindman LLC and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary. Standard Commission Rates Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; and twenty percent (20%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for less than $5,001, with a minimum commission of $25 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Hindman LLC, you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price. Shipping Arrangements Hindman LLC can advise you as to how to have your property delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Hindman LLC and deducted from the proceeds of the sale. We may recommend packers and shippers, but we are not responsible for their acts or omissions. Appraisals Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances. Please contact our Estates and Appraisals Department at 312.280.1212 for further information.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS Conditions of Sale Hindman LLC encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. Exhibitions Hindman LLC recommends that all prospective buyers attend the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our pre-sale exhibitions to advise prospective buyers on particular objects or on any aspect of the bidding process. Estimates Hindman LLC provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision. Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports. Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are: $0 - $200 ........................................ $10 $200 - $500 ........................................ $25 $500 - $1,000 ..................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ................................... $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ................................... $200 $5,000 - $10,000 ................................. $500 $10,000 - $20,000 .............................. $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 .............................. $2,000 $50,000 - $100,000 ............................ $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 .......................... $10,000 Over > $200,000 ...... Auctioneer’s Discretion

If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer. Online Bidding Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at hindmanauctions.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at hindmanauctions.com. Absentee Bidding If you are unable to attend an auction, you may use the absentee bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Hindman LLC will exercise written order bids and telephone bids at no additional charge.

No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Hindman LLC and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Hindman LLC expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Hindman LLC has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Hindman LLC before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Hindman LLC, and that Hindman LLC will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Hindman LLC. Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Hindman LLC. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Hindman LLC sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.

AFTER THE SALE Buyer’s Premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium and the applicable sales tax added to the final total. The buyer’s premium for all purchases except via live online bidding is twenty-five (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000. Third-Party Platform Fee If the buyer bids through a third-party platform the buyer agrees to pay a surcharge to Hindman LLC equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium. Payment The buyer must pay the entire amount due (including the hammer price, buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and other charges) no later than 5 p.m. on the seventh (7) business day following the sale. Payment in U.S. dollars may be made with cash; bank check or cashier’s check drawn on a U.S. bank; money order; or wire transfer unless other arrangements are made with Hindman LLC.

In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted us a security interest in, and we may retain as collateral security for such purchaser’s obligations to us, any property in our possession owned by such purchaser. At our option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed their authenticity.
