203. THE CAXTON CLUB PRESS Oriflamme : a spasmodical. No. 1 1st ed. Christchurch : Printed for the Caxton Club by Denis J M Glover, [1933], 8vo. 16 p., [2] leaves of plates., illus. Red card covers, title printed in black. Mild wear and creasing. Stapled. Small inscription to front cover. Wear to contents. The Caxton Club Press was established in October 1932 by Denis Glover and seven fellow Canterbury University students. The aim of the club was the study of printing and typography.

Influenced by the Auckland University College student journal ‘Phoenix’, the Caxton Club Press produced its own, ‘Oriflamme’, in April 1933 as its first publication.

Patrick Robertson’s article ‘Sex and the Undergraduate’ resulted in all copies being sold within two hours and the College Council supressing it. The Caxton Club Press was the predecessor to The Caxton Press’. (‘Caxton Press: the art of ordered plainess’, Dunedin : Reed Gallery). A nice copy of this very scarce work. G. Est. $300 204.

[Christchurch] : The Caxton Club at their own press, [1933], 8vo. 1 v., illus. Soft card covers, stapled. Small owners inscription to front cover. Mild wear to contents.

‘Following the suppression of ‘Oriflamme’, membership dwindled at The Caxton Club Press. The remaining members had to agree to a number of conditions outlined by the College Council, in order to have the suppression lifted. One of those conditions meant that the title ‘Oriflamme’ could not be used for any future publications. Ian Milner suggested the name ‘Sirocco’, meaning a hot wind, suggesting that Glover and Milner were not entirely repentant. Produced in only a single issue like its predecessor, Sirocco included poems by Glover, Allen Curnow (as ‘Philo’), A R D Fairburn and others. The linocut illustration on the frontispiece is

by Canterbury artist Florence Akins. This volume also includes a linocut by the artist Rita Cook, perhaps better known by her maiden name Rita Angus’.

Te Mata went to his son Bernard, establishing him as the major owner. Bernard’s interest in wine-making was kindled by a French guest at Te Mata homestead, who pointed out the viticultural potential of the surrounding slopes. The first vines struck root at Te Mata Vineyard in 1892. The business flourished and Te Mata Estate Winery continues to rank as the foremost wine producer in the region. Images depict a variety of scenes from the surrounding areas, with several family portraits including Bernard and Georgina seated on the first motor vehicle in Hawke’s Bay, 1903. Eighty four images in total.

Prof. Aldis, the scholar with a servant problem, Kawau and its omniscient owner Grey, J. C. Firth, Rotorua and the Terraces, decadent Maoris, the Russian scare and New Zealand’s financial irresponsibility (p. 230-335). Froude’s apt phrase and facility of metaphor only etched more firmly the shadow of his patrician disdain and made excuse for ignoring all but greater Auckland as unacceptable as it would have been a century later.

GUIDE FOR BUYERS Bethunes at Webb's has set out the following information for those unfamiliar with auction procedures. Please refer to the 'Conditions of sale for buyers' printed in this catalogue and displayed in the saleroom.

FLOOR BIDDERS. Register and obtain a bidder card before bidding on any lot/s.

Be aware that a buyer's premium of 20% plus GST (i.e. 23%) is payable in addition to the bid price.

Make your bids clear, preferably by holding up your bidder card.

If you make a mistake (e.g. the auctioneer takes a bid from you at a higher level than you had intended, or you bid on the wrong lot), call out to the auctioneer immediately so that the bidding can be adjusted. Waiting until the hammer falls is too late.

If your bid is the highest and the lot is knocked down to you, you have entered into a binding obligation to pay for that lot.

BIDDING INCREMENTS ARE AT THE AUCTIONEER'S DISCRETION. Bidding will commence at a bidding increment over the second highest absentee bid received. Where no bids have been received, bidding will commence at half the auctioneer's lot estimate, or at $10, at the auctioneer's sole discretion.

SALES SUBJECT TO VENDOR'S APPROVAL. Where your bid is the highest, but still below the reserve, the auctioneer may declare you to be the buyer 'subject to vendor's approval' ('SVA' or 'subject'). This means that your bid is held as binding and will be communicated to the vendor at the earliest opportunity. If the vendor accepts, there is a contractual obligation for you to pay for the lot. If the vendor does not accept, you are released from any obligation, however you will have first right to negotiate with the vendor through Bethunes at Webb's until an agreement is reached. Bethunes at Webb's will not present other offers to the vendor until your negotiations are ended.

ABSENTEE BIDDERS. Bethunes at Webb's will endeavour to ensure that your bidding instructions are executed, but accepts no responsibility or liability for failure to do so.

Lots will be bought as favourably as is allowed by bidding in the sale room, other competitive absentee bids and any reserve imposed by the vendor. Please note that Bethunes at Webb's cannot guarantee that another bidder will not be successful at your limit if, in the course of competitive bidding, a floor bidder bids your limit first. Absentee bids are accepted by written instruction, which can be sent by fax, email or post to arrive no later than the evening before the sale. Priority will be given to the earliest received absentee bid where identical bids are received. Absentee bids will be executed on the following basis: If your bid limit is equal to or above a reserve, the auctioneer may open the bidding at reserve on your behalf and will bid thereafter only in response to competition for the lot.

If your bid limit is below a reserve, the auctioneer may open the bidding at your limit and if there are no further bids in the room may sell to you subject to vendor's approval.

In the absence of a reserve, the auctioneer may exercise your bid in advance of any opening bid, or may open the bidding on your behalf at a bidding increment over the second highest absentee bid received. If no other absentee bids have been received, bidding will commence at half the auctioneer's lot estimate, or at $10, at the auctioneer's sole discretion.

PHONE BIDDERS. Phone bids are available on lots with estimates over $100 and where the auctioneer is able to confirm availability of staff to provide this service. The same conditions as above apply to phone bidders. Bethunes at Webb's will call the number you have provided some time before the lot you have requested to bid on comes up for sale.

If your phone is engaged or we are unable to make contact, the auction will proceed without your bidding. When we have made contact, our staff will tell you that your lot is about to come up and will ask you to hold. Bids will be relayed to you and you may enter the bidding at any time by making your call. Please note that the bidding at many auctions can be fast. The auctioneer will not favour a phone bidder over and above floor bidders by giving them more time to bid. You will need to establish your limit and make sure that you bid clearly and promptly.

PRE-SALE ESTIMATES. Estimates printed in the catalogue or given verbally are intended as a guide only and may be subject to revision nearer to the time of a sale. Bethunes at Webb's staff are available during pre-sale viewing times and by appointment to assist prospective bidders with estimates and any aspect of the auction procedure.

CONDITION REPORTS. Bethunes at Webb's staff will provide condition reports over and above the catalogue description for out of town buyers. However, please note that item 6 of the 'Conditions of sale for buyers' will still apply despite the obtaining of a condition report.

PAYMENT. Payment for all items purchased is due on the day of sale, immediately following completion of the sale. If full payment cannot be made on the day of sale, a deposit of 10% of the total sum due must be made on the day of sale and the balance must be paid within five working days. Payment is by cash or eftpos. Cheques will be accepted but must be cleared before removal of goods. Major credit cards are accepted.

Amex attracts an additional surcharge.

B. To rescind the sale of that or any other lot sold to the purchaser at the same or any other auction.

C. To resell the lot by public or private sale. Any deficiency resulting from such resale, after giving credit to the purchaser for any part payment, together with all costs incurred in connection with the lot shall be paid to Bethunes at Webb's by the purchaser. Any surplus over the proceeds of sale shall belong to the vendor and in this condition the expression 'proceeds of sale' shall have the same meaning in relation to a sale by private treaty as it has in relation to a sale by auction.

D. To store the lot, whether at Bethunes at Webb's own premises or elsewhere, at the sole expense of the purchaser and to release the lot only after the purchase price has been paid in full, plus the accrued cost of removal and storage, and all other costs connected to the lot.
