Jacques Cartier, the great French explorer, visited the village of Hochelaga on the island of Montreal in 1535. The village was near a mountain the explorer named Mount Royal or Monte Real. His account was published in the third volume of Ramusio’s Delle navigationi et viaggi in 1556, along with this woodcut illustration based on the narrative. The map includes many of the things described by Cartier: significant advance in the mapping of the American West, calling it an advance of the first importance. The map reflects the lack of knowledge in the Northern parts of the hemisphere, but does note the Strait of Magellan, and retains the mythical large welcome depicted in the clasping of hands by a Frenchman (presumably Cartier) and a native chief, and the advantage of two-story fortifications is demonstrated. The lodges within the fort are exceedingly symmetrical, but with each family unit indicated by a fire, they were probably intended to indicate that they were both single family and multiple family or extended family dwellings. It is not clear who the Hochelagans were, although most likely either Huron. The village was gone by the time Champlain arrived.

En outre, conformément aux conditions de vente applicables à la vente de tout lot, les acheteurs doivent s’assurer de chaque aspect de la qualité du lot, y compris et sans limitation, son auteur, son attribution, sa condition, sa provenance, son authenticité et origine. Les lots sont vendus “tel quel”, mais la condition réelle du lot peut ne pas être aussi bonne que celle indiquée par son apparence extérieure. En particulier, des pièces peuvent avoir été remplacées ou restaurées, et les lots peuvent ne pas être authentiques ou de qualité satisfaisante. Toute déclaration relative à un lot est simplement une expression d’opinion du vendeur ou de Pridham’s et ne devrait pas être invoquée comme une incitation à soumissionner sur le lot. S.V.P. contactez-nous pour un rapport de condition. 1-877533-5877 ou info@pridhams.ca, au plus tard le 23 juin à 17h. Nous ne pouvons pas garantir un retour d’appel ou courriel après cette date vu les besoins technologiques du webcast.

4. The Auctioneer does its very best to point out condition issues. You have to examine each piece carefully; sales will not be set aside on grounds of condition, or of real or imagined misdescription. The condition reports are not prepared by a professional conservator or engineer. | Pridham’s fait de son mieux pour vous informer de la condition d’un objet. Vous devez examiner chaque item soigneusement; les ventes ne seront pas mises de côté pour des raisons de condition, ou de descriptions erronées réelles ou imaginaires. Nos rapports de condition ne sont pas préparés par un conservateur professionnel ou un ingénieur.

5. The Auctioneer may accept and submit absentee, telephone and online bids, to be executed by an employee of the Auctioneer, pursuant to the instructions of prospective purchasers not in attendance at the sale. | Pridham’s peut accepter et soumettre des offres par absence, par téléphone ou en ligne, devant être exécutées par un employé de Pridham’s, conformément aux instructions des acheteurs éventuels qui ne peuvent pas être présents.

6. Registration: all bidders are required to submit full name, address and a telephone number. Information is used pursuant to the “Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act”. A credit card on file is required for telephone/absentee bidding. | Enregistrement: tous les clients sont tenus de donner leur nom, adresse et un numéro de téléphone. L’information est utilisée selon la “Loi canadienne sur la protection des renseignements personnels et les documents électroniques”.

Pridham’s does not divide a buyer’s invoice between two or more people on auction day. | À moins d’être exemptés, les acheteurs doivent payer les taxes appropriées sur le montant total. La prime de l’acheteur est ajoutée avant les taxes applicables. Pridham’s ne divise pas une facture entre deux ou plusieurs personnes le jour de la vente.

9. Unless exempted by law, the buyer is required to pay HST on the total purchase price including the buyer’s premium. For international buyers, taxes are not applicable when purchases are shipped out of Canada. For items shipped out of the province, the buyer is required to PAY TAXES as per their provincial tax status, whether it is HST, GST and PST. Includes Quebec buyers, there is GST AND QST. À moins d’être exempté par la loi, l’acheteur est tenu de payer la TVH sur le prix d’achat total, y compris la prime de l’acheteur. Pour les acheteurs internationaux, les taxes ne sont pas applicables lorsque les achats sont expédiés hors du Canada. Pour les articles expédiés hors province, l’acheteur est tenu de payer les taxes selon le statut fiscal de sa province, que ce soit la TVH, TPS ou TVP. Incluant les acheteurs du Québec, il y a une TPS et TVQ.
