An Account of the Voyages undertaken by the order of His Present Majesty for making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere, and successively performed by Commodore Byron, Captain Wallis, Captain Carteret and Captain Cook, in the Dolphin, the Swallow, and the Endeavour; drawn up From the Journals which were kept by several Commanders, And from the papers of Joseph Banks, By John Hawkesworth. London: W. Strahan and T. Cadell, 1773.

(A few minor spots or browning, some light offsetting of text to plates, one plate trimmed close.) Modern half leather, marbled boards. Provenance: E. Donnelley (signature dated 1878).

Second edition of Cook’s rst voyage, with the map of the “Streights of Magellan” and the direction for placing the cuts and charts. “Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Paci c to western civilization and by the foundation of British Australia. The world was given for the rst time an essentially complete knowledge of the Paci c Ocean and Australia, and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent, as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of Antarctic land in the southern ice ring, a fact which was not proved until the explorations of the nineteenth century” (PMM). Volume I contains the voyages of Byron, Carteret and Wallis, and describes the discovery of Tahiti; volumes II-III contain Hawkesworth’s edited account of Lieutenant Cook’s voyage (he was only promoted to Captain on his return). Cook’s instructions for this rst voyage were to observe the transit of Venus from Tahiti and to carry on John Byron’s survey and examination of the seas between Cape Horn and New Holland, but they did not extend to searching for Terra Australis. He did, however, add more than 5,000 miles of coastline to Admiralty charts for Tahiti, Australia and the Great Barrier Reef, and New Zealand, which he circumnavigated.

FIRST EDITION OF THE TEXT OF THE FLINDERS’ MONUMENTAL WORK OF AUSTRALIAN EXPLORATION. “Flinders was the rst commander to circumnavigate the Australian continent, and the rst to give it its present name” (Hill). Flinders sailed from England on 18 July 1801, and during the next two years he surveyed the entire coast of Australia from Cape Leeuwin to Bass Strait. He returned to Port Jackson in 1803 having completed the rst circumnavigation of Australia, thus establishing it as a continent. Flinders devoted the remainder of his life to the publication of this work, which was formally published one day before his death on 19 July 1814. Wantrup calls Flinders’ narrative “the most outstanding book on the coastal exploration of Australia the centerpiece of any collection of books dealing with Australian coastal discovery” (Wantrup, p.144). The two text volumes were originally accompanied by a folio atlas containing 16 charts and 12 engraved plates.

FIRST EDITION of the account of the rst African-American polar explorer. Matthew A. Henson was hired by Admiral Peary to accompany him on a number of explorations, and his skills proved invaluable for the eventual assault on the North Pole. On April 7, 1909, Peary, Henson and several Inuit reached the North Pole on their third attempt. It would not be for several decades that Henson would receive full credit for being the co-discoverer of the pole during the seminal expedition, but he has since been recognized as the preeminent African-American explorer of the 20th century. A landmark of both Arctic exploration and African-American history, this work contains a forward by Peary and an introduction by Booker T. Washington. Not in Arctic Bibliography. RARE.

FIRST EDITION OF ROSS’S FAMOUS FIRST VOYAGE. Ross, along with William Parry, his nephew James Clark Ross, and Edward Sabine, attempted to proceed westward through Lancaster Sound. Deceived, quite possibly by a mirage, Ross described the passage as barred by a mountain range that he named the Croker Mountains. On his return to England, his observations were initially accepted as conclusive. He was promoted to post rank on 7 December 1818. Controversy would soon follow, as Sir John Barrow, who learned that there were some doubts as to the existence of the Croker Mountains, dispatched another expedition under the command of Parry (see Lot 241). Despite Ross’s willingness to make another voyage, he was not given another opportunity to lead an Arctic expedition until 1829.

[CHICAGO HISTORY - CHICAGO FIRE]. MANUSCRIPT LEDGER of D. Clark and Company, Chicago, 1849-1873.

4 volumes, tall 4to. Approximately 260 written pages comprising inventories, expense accounts, account descriptions, fair copies of correspondence, and pencil architectural renderings. 3 volumes in original roan-backed marbled boards, 2 with manuscript labels to upper covers; one in original reversed calf decorated in gilt and blind.

A group of four manuscript ledgers from D. Clark and Company, Chicago, 1849-1873, owned by George Ligare and various partners, whose primary business appeared to be the sale of lumber. In addition to the nancial accounting records for the company, the ledgers include numerous fair copies of letters sent by the rm, most pertaining to the usual course of business, including FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS OF THE CHICAGO FIRE.

George Ligare (1821-1901), merchant and voyager, was born in Winchester, England. Before his arrival in the Midwest, he served as an of cer in the Third Ceylon Regiment in the British army, and spent considerable time in the East Indies. He arrived in Mackinaw in 1844, and spent that summer in the vicinity of the Fox and Wolf Rivers. He arrived in Chicago in the fall of 1845 and began working with lumber dealers; he ultimately went into business for himself, opening a lumber yard at the corner of North Water Street and Dearborn Avenue. He subsequently entered into a partnership with lumber manufacturer Darius Clark, opening a lumber yard at the corner of Market and Madison Avenues. He took on various business partners through the years, and in 1876, he purchased property in Glencoe, including “Maple Lodge,” a residence rst built by Walter S. Gurney.

“I HAVE BEEN TO LAKE SUPERIOR AND RETURNED JUST BEFORE THE FIRE. AWFUL TO BEHOLD”

In a 17 October 1871 letter to Rufus G. Beardslee, Ligare writes: “I have been to Lake Superior and returned just before the re. Awful to behold.” He comments on the rapid rebuilding of the city following the re in a 12 December 1871 letter to Dr. Hiram Gale: “If you want to see the Chicago ruins you will have to come soon for they are being cleared away and new buildings going up pretty fast.”

The ledgers also include fair copies of letters relating to an 1867 journey through the Rocky Mountains, the rm’s early investment in a Colorado silver mine, and Ligare’s Glencoe residence.

[CHICAGO HISTORY] -- [COLUMBUS, Christopher]. Large historiated and embroidered panel of the “Año Crucial” celebrating Christopher Columbus’s arrival in America. N.d. [ca 1892].

Monumental needle work panel (2900 x 1700 mm) Spanish, approx. 1892. Within a Renaissance-style border including portrait medallions, the Castilian lion and the Aragonian tower, the embroidery depicts three scenes: “Cristobal Colon” shows Columbus with the Catholic sovereigns who name him Admiral of the Fleet and Viceroy and Governor of any lands he should discover; the second panel illustrated the arms of Ferdinand II, King of Spain, and his wife Isabella I; the third panel represents the fall of Grenada, after Francisco Pradilla y Ortiz’s “La rendición de Granada” (1882).

THE CELEBRATION OF THE 400TH ANNIVERSARY OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS’ DISCOVERY, MADE FOR THE 1893 COLUMBIAN EXHIBITION IN CHICAGO

The Columbian Exposition, Chicago’s 1893 World’s Fair, was named in honor of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the New World in 1492. During one ceremony at the fair, replicas of the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa María arrived in Chicago; the Spanish government gifted the replica of the Santa María to the United States, and after the fair ended, it was to be sent to Washington D. C. where it would be on permanent display. Contemporary guides to the fair make note of the lavish displays by the Spanish. “The showing of exquisite furniture, ancient ceramics, artistic metal works, repousse and chiseled iron, as well as brocades, laces, carpets, velvets and textile industry [in the Spanish Pavilion in the Manufactures Building] was a very ne and attractive one” (Campbell’s Illustrated History of the World’s Columbian Exposition, 1894, Volume II, p.342). “Fully appreciating the honor which America was doing to her courageous son, Columbus, Spain manifested her appreciation by making a far more extensive exhibit of her products than was ever before attempted” (ibid., p.339). Spanish exhibits also included numerous relics relating to the life and work of Columbus, including letters between Columbus and Ferdinand and Isabella, and Columbus’s will.

ONE OF ILLINOIS’ MOST CORRUPT POLITICIANS

Lorimer was born in Manchester England and immigrated to the United States in 1866; his family rst settled in Michigan before arriving in Chicago in 1870.

He was elected as a Republican to the rst of two non-consecutive terms in the U. S. House of Representatives in 1894, where he served from 1895-1901 and 1903-1909. Known as the “Blond Boss” in Chicago, he helped arrange for U. S. Senator Albert J. Hopkins to be blocked from re-election, and a coalition of Illinois state House Democrats and Republicans named him to ll the vacant seat.

In 1910, The Chicago Tribune ran a scathing admission by Illinois Assemblyman Charles A. White that Lorimer had paid him $1,000 for his vote: “Democratic Legislator confesses that he was bribed to cast vote for Lorimer for United States Senator.” He was ousted from his seat on July 10, 1912, and in 1913, the Seventeenth Amendment, establishing the popular election for United States Senators, was ratified. On his return home to Chicago, Lorimer was greeted by a parade.

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 ve 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.

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 de nitive. 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

In-House Bidding Live bidding at Hindman LLC is by paddle only. Please register for a paddle at the entrance of the sales room. 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 AS AGENT

The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Hindman LLC as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.

BEFORE THE SALE

Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Hindman LLC nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Hindman LLC nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, tness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical signi cance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. 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 identi cation before bidding. We may require bank or other nancial 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 identi ed 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 rst. 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 con dential 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 nal 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 nal total. The buyer’s premium for all purchases except via live online bidding is twenty- ve (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. Hindman LLC reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank.

Packing and handling of purchased lots by us is at the entire risk of the purchaser, and Hindman LLC will have no liability of any loss or damage to such items.

Non Payment If we do not receive payment in full, in good cleared funds, within seven (7) business days following the sale, we are entitled in our absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following measures, in addition to any additional actions available to us by law:

a.) to impose a late charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per thirty (30) days of the total purchase price

b.) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to begin legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law

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 con rmed their authenticity.

e.) to offset against any amount owed

f.) to not allow any bids at any upcoming auction by or on behalf of the buyer

g.) to take other action as we nd necessary or appropriate

In addition, we reserve the right to impose a late charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. For property that is not picked up after thirty (30) calendar days, an additional administration fee of $75 will be charged. Property which is paid for but left on our premises for any reason in excess of sixty (60) calendar days is subject to sale by us with the balance of any funds recovered in excess of storage charges and any other fees being remitted to you. LIABILITY Condition Reports Hindman LLC is not responsible for the correctness of any statement of any kind concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any lot. Neither the seller, ourselves, our of cers, employees or agents, give any representation, warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard to merchantability, tness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, completeness, authorship, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this paragraph. Items under $1,000 are collated upon request.

Purchased Lots If for any reason a purchased lot cannot be delivered in the same condition as at the time of sale, or should any purchased lot be stolen, mis-delivered or lost prior to delivery, Hindman LLC shall not be liable for any amount in excess of that paid by the purchaser.

Legal Ramifications The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the auction and any matters connected with any of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the jurisdiction in Illinois.
