Presidents and First Ladies Jefferson–Madison ship’s papers for a cargo-laden voyage to England

1. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison Signed Four-Language Ship’s Passport. Partly-printed DS, signed

In fine condition, with intersecting folds and some small repairs along a couple of folds affecting a few lines of printed text. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. These multilingual ship’s papers served as an official passport for American vessels abroad, identifying the Ann, her master, destination, and cargo while attesting to her United States registry.

2. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison Document Signed as President and Secretary of State, Approving Passage of the Armed Ship John & Francis (1804). Partly-printed vellum DS, signed “Th: Jefferson” as president and “James Madison” as secretary of state, one page, 10.25 x 14.5, November 20, 1804. Scallop-topped ship’s pass issued to the “Ship John & Francis of Charleston, John Baas master or commander… mounted with Two guns, navigated with Fourteen men, to pass with her Company, Passengers, Goods and Merchandize, without any hindrance, seizure or molestation.” Signed at the conclusion by President Jefferson and countersigned by Secretary of State Madison. Signed below by the collector of the port of Charleston, James Simons, who served as captain in the Continental Army with William Washington and as the aide-de-camp of Casimir Pulaski. The original white paper seal remains affixed to the lower left corner. Impressively doublematted and framed with a large portrait of Jefferson to an overall size of 35 x 31.5. In fine condition, with intersecting folds and light soiling.

This ship’s pass was issued amid a period of significant risk to American maritime commerce. The ongoing Napoleonic Wars between Britain and France led both powers to interfere with neutral American shipping, while British impressment of sailors from American vessels became an increasingly contentious issue. As secretary of state, Madison articulated the American position that a neutral flag on the high seas ought to serve as a safeguard for those sailing under it. Passports of this kind, pre-signed by the president and secretary of state and completed by the local customs collector, served as official certification of a vessel’s American nationality and ownership, intended to protect against seizure or interference by belligerent or hostile powers. The pass issued to the John & Francis reflects this system of federal maritime documentation under Jefferson’s administration, designed to safeguard American shipping and crews as they navigated waters where seizure and impressment remained persistent threats. Dated November 20, 1804, the document was signed during another consequential moment in Jefferson’s presidency, just weeks before the Electoral College formally confirmed his landslide reelection over Federalist Charles Cotesworth Pinckney.

In early 1817, one week before assuming the presidency, James Monroe approves a huge government purchase of lime for the construction of “the United States Western Road”—the Cumberland Road, America’s first road into the West and the nation’s first federally funded highway 6. James Monroe Endorsement Signature as President-Elect, Approving a Construction Contract for the Cumberland Road (“United States Western Road”) - America’s First Federally Funded Highway. Endorsement signature as Secretary of State and PresidentElect, “Approved, James Monroe,” penned on the reverse of a manuscript document related to the continued construction of America’s first road into the West, the Cumberland Road. The document, one page, both sides, 11.25 x 18, dated February 25, 1817, served as the original contract for the purchase of lime used to produce mortar for the road’s masonry. It reads, in part: “Between John Holdridge of the one part and David Shriver, Jr., duly authorized in behalf of the United States of the other part…The said John Holdridge agreed for and in consideration of the payments hereinafter mentioned to deliver on that part of the United States Western Road comprised in the 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th sections, any quantity of merchantable lime necessary in the construction or building of bridges, culverts, or other works which may be thought necessary by the Superintendent.” The U.S. agreed to pay Holdridge forty cents per bushel of lime, so long as it was of sufficient quality. The document is signed by both Shriver and Holdridge, and signing as witnesses are Walter Slicer, a partner in the firm building the Youghiogheny Bridge (thus perhaps indicating that the lime was to be used for the bridge), and Samuel Magill, who established the first newspaper in Cumberland and was later its mayor. Signed on the reverse with his approval signature by James Monroe, still serving in his capacity as Secretary of State. In very good to fine condition, with nearly complete separation along the hinge, and to the fragile folds of the second page.

The Cumberland Road (also known as the National Road) was America’s first federally funded interstate highway and was considered a wonder of the world upon its construction. It was authorized on March 29, 1806, by President Thomas Jefferson, who believed that the poor roads of the day hindered American expansion and that a trans-Appalachian route was essential to encourage western settlement and unify the young nation. Construction began in May 1811 at Cumberland on the Potomac River, at “a stone at the corner of lot No. 1, near the

confluence of Will’s Creek and the north branch of the Potomac River.” The road crossed the Allegheny Mountains and southwestern Pennsylvania, reaching Wheeling, Virginia (now West Virginia), on the Ohio River in 1818—marking the beginning of its widespread use. In the decades that followed, the road became a vital artery of westward expansion, carrying travelers, stagecoaches, and freight between the eastern seaboard and the frontier. Massive Conestoga wagons transported produce eastward and returned with staples such as coffee and sugar for western settlements. Construction ultimately continued through Ohio and Indiana, halting at Vandalia, Illinois, in 1839. David Shriver, an expert in turnpike management, was appointed Superintendent of the Cumberland Road by Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin. He oversaw all aspects of construction, including the selection, hiring, and supervision of contractors. While he had authority to execute contracts for materials and services, final approval rested with the President. Shriver also reported regularly to Congress on the road’s progress and expenses and estimated the funding required for future sections. He quickly earned a reputation as a strict and exacting supervisor, withholding payment from contractors whose work or materials failed to meet his standards. The first phase of the project—from Cumberland to Wheeling—extended an unprecedented 123 miles and presented major engineering challenges, including the bridge over the Youghiogheny River, whose 80-foot span was the largest stone arch in America at the time. By 1817, completion of this initial phase was in sight, with only the sections west of the Youghiogheny River and the bridge itself remaining unfinished. These sections were numbered beginning at 23. The principal materials used in construction were stone, lime, and timber, with lime essential for producing the mortar that bound the masonry. In early 1817, Shriver informed Congress that approximately $1,500 would be required to procure the necessary lime for this portion of the work. He secured a contractor capable of supplying high-quality lime at a fair price and executed an agreement for its delivery—the contractor being John Holdridge.

12. Martin Van Buren Letter Signed - Four Days After Leaving the White House. LS signed “M. Van Buren,” six

pages, 8 x 9.75, March 8, 1841. Addressed from Washington four days after Van Buren left office, a letter to several New York Democratic politicians, including John Van Buren, Robert H. Morris, Wright Hawkes, Theodore Sedgwick, and Thomas Smith; the addressees included Democratic electors and prominent members of the New York City party organization. Responding to an invitation to a public dinner honoring his return to New York following the conclusion of his presidency, Van Buren expresses gratitude for the continued support of the city’s Democratic organization. In part: “The rewards of a publick servant…are complete when to the conciousness of having performed his duty with fidelity and the hope of having rendered himself useful to his country is added the approbation of those who have entrusted their highest earthly interests to his keeping.” Reflecting on his political future after his defeat in the election of 1840, he writes: “I come to you now with a political ambition more than satisfied by the many and distinguished honors which have already been conferred upon me, and with no higher aspirations, if there be higher than to occupy the station, enjoy the privileges and discharge the duties of an American citizen.” Declining the proposed banquet in favor of a less formal gathering, Van Buren closes with a tribute to his supporters, praising the “lion-hearted Democracy of your

great city” and assuring them of his “never failing gratitude.” The spine edge of the last page is affixed to a same-sized backing sheet. In fine condition. Written just four days after leaving the White House following his defeat by William Henry Harrison in the election of 1840, this letter captures Martin Van Buren at a pivotal moment in his political career. Responding to New York City Democrats who sought to honor him with a public dinner upon his return home, Van Buren reflects on public service, expressing satisfaction that he had performed his duties “with fidelity” and declaring himself a man whose “political ambition [was] more than satisfied by the many and distinguished honors which have already been conferred upon me.” Although publicly adopting the posture of a statesman content to resume the role of private citizen, Van Buren remained a central figure in Democratic politics and would again seek the presidency in 1848. Particularly striking is his tribute to the “lion-hearted Democracy of your great city,” a phrase that reflects the enduring bond between Van Buren and the New York Democratic organization that had launched his rise to national prominence. An appealing post-presidential letter written in the immediate aftermath of one of the most consequential electoral defeats in nineteenth-century American politics. Starting Bid $200

President Zachary Taylor commissions a fellow Mexican-American War veteran as “Captain in the Eighth Regiment of Infantry”

17. Zachary Taylor Document Signed as President, Commissioning a Mexican-American War Veteran as “Captain in the Eighth Regiment of Infantry”. Partly-

printed vellum DS as president, signed “Z. Taylor,” one page, 13.25 x 17, March 20, 1850. President Taylor appoints John Beardsley as “Captain in the Eighth Regiment of Infantry, in the service of the United States.” Boldly signed at the conclusion in ink by President Zachary Taylor and countersigned by Secretary of War George W. Crawford. The orange seal affixed at the upper left remains intact. Archivally double-matted and framed to an overall size of 22 x 26.5. In fine condition, with light overall soiling.

This commission united two veterans of the Mexican-American War: President Zachary Taylor, whose battlefield victories had carried him to the White House, and John Beardsley, a West Point graduate who had fought at Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Veracruz, Cerro Gordo, and Churubusco before being severely wounded at Molino del Rey. Beardsley received a brevet promotion for gallantry in that battle, and this 1850 appointment advanced him to the permanent rank of captain; he later returned to service during the Civil War as colonel of the 9th New York Cavalry and commanded a cavalry brigade during the Second Battle of Bull Run. His Civil War career ended amid charges of disloyalty, cowardice, drunken misconduct, and unfitness for command, prompting his resignation in March 1863 before court-martial proceedings could move forward.

Boldly signed presidential commission from October 1863—President Abraham Lincoln appoints Maunsell B. Field to discharge the duties of assistant secretary of the Treasury during George Harrington’s absence 26. Abraham Lincoln Document Signed as President, Appointing Maunsell B. Field to the Civil War Treasury Department (October 1, 1863). Civil War-dated manuscript DS as president, one page, 7.75 x 9.75, October 1, 1863. Addressed from Washington, President Lincoln appoints Maunsell B. Field “to discharge the duties of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, during the absence of George Harrington, the Assistant Secretary.” Signed boldly at the conclusion by Abraham Lincoln. In fine condition, with wear to the left edge, light overall toning, and areas of discoloration to the top area due to mounting remnants to the reverse of the second integral page; none of which detract from the document’s crisp signature and penmanship. Accompanied by a handsome 19 x 24 lithograph of an engraved portrait of Lincoln, printed by Kimmel & Forster, entitled “Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President of the United States.” This document falls within one of the most anxious stretches of Lincoln’s presidency. Less than two weeks earlier, the Union Army of the Cumberland under William Rosecrans had been defeated at the Battle of Chickamauga and driven back into Chattanooga, Tennessee, where Confederate forces under Braxton Bragg occupied the surrounding high ground and threatened the city’s supply lines. Lincoln was directly engaged in the crisis, having already ordered two Army corps transferred some 1,100 miles from Virginia to reinforce the beleaguered Union army; within weeks, Ulysses S. Grant would be placed in command of the newly created Military Division

of the Mississippi, setting in motion the campaign that broke the Confederate hold on Chattanooga the following month. This Treasury appointment, then, was signed by the president at a moment when the Union position in the western theater remained deeply uncertain. Two days later, on October 3rd, Lincoln would issue his Thanksgiving Proclamation, calling for a national day of gratitude even as the Chattanooga crisis continued to unfold. Maunsell Bradhurst Field had served since August 1861 as Deputy Sub-Treasurer of the United States in New York before this appointment called him to Washington to temporarily assume the duties of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Harrington was then in Europe for reasons of health, and Field had been designated acting assistant secretary the previous month, in part to cover his absence. Harrington, who had held the assistant secretaryship since March 1861 under Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase, was a central figure in financing the Union war effort, and the position carried substantial responsibility for managing wartime loans, currency issuance, and the fledgling national banking system. Field remained in the Treasury Department after Harrington’s return to Washington in 1864, serving as second assistant secretary until resigning in June 1865 due to failing health. In that capacity, Field was present at Abraham Lincoln’s bedside on the morning of April 15, 1865, following the president’s shooting at Ford’s Theatre. Starting Bid $500

One of the earliest Lincoln autograph letters in private hands—1842 legal correspondence on federal bankruptcy cases 29. Abraham Lincoln Autograph Letter Signed on Early Federal Bankruptcy Cases (1842). ALS signed “A. Lincoln,” one page both sides, 5 x 7.75, February 16, 1842. Handwritten letter to fellow attorney Garland B. Shelledy of Paris, Illinois, providing instructions on beginning cases in the federal court for bankruptcy. Lincoln and his senior partner, Judge Stephen Logan, handled at least 72 bankruptcy cases during 1842 and 1843, including many referred to them by other attorneys from around the state.

In full: “Yours of the 10th is duly received. Judge Logan & myself are doing bussiness together now and we are willing to attend to your cases as you propose. As to the terms, we are willing to attend each case you prepare and send us for $10. (where there shall be no opposition) to be sent in advance, or you to know that it is safe. It takes $5.75 of cost to start upon, that is, $1.75 to clerk, and $2 to each of two publishers of papers. Judge Logan thinks it will take the balance of $20 to carry a case through. This must be advanced from time to time as the services are performed, as the officers will not act without. I do not know whether you can be admitted an attorney of the Federal Court in your absence or not; nor is it material, as the business can be done in our names. Thinking it may aid you a little, I send you one of our blank forms of Petitions. It, you will see, is framed to be sworn to before the Federal Court clerk, and in your cases, will have [to] be so far changed, as to be sworn to before the clerk of your circuit court, and his certificate must be accompanied with his official seal. The schedules too, must be attended to. Be sure that they contain the creditor’s names, their residences, the amounts due each, the debtors names, their residences, and the amounts they owe, also all property and where located. Also be sure that the schedules are signed by the applicants as well as the Petition. Publication will have to be made here in one paper, and in one nearest the residence of the applicant. Write us in each case where the last advertisement is to be sent—whether to you or to what paper. I believe I have now said everything that can be of any advantage.” In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds.

Passed in the aftermath of the Panic of 1837, the federal Bankruptcy Act of 1841 represented a major change in American law: for the first time, individuals could voluntarily petition a federal court for bankruptcy and obtain discharge from their debts. The law took effect on February 1, 1842, making this letter—written just fifteen days later—a remarkably early glimpse of Lincoln adapting his practice to the new system. In partnership with the eminent Springfield attorney Stephen T. Logan, Lincoln became deeply involved in Illinois bankruptcy work, and this unusually detailed letter shows him functioning not merely as an advocate but as a practical guide to fellow lawyers around the state: setting fees, explaining court costs and publication requirements, providing petition forms, and specifying the schedules of creditors, debtors, and property necessary to initiate proceedings. The opportunity proved short-lived—the controversial act was repealed effective March 3, 1843—giving Lincoln and Logan only a narrow window in which to build this substantial aspect of their federal practice. This is also believed to be one of the earliest Lincoln autograph letters in private hands; letters from the early Springfield law years are considerably scarcer than his later presidential correspondence, making an 1842 autograph letter especially desirable.Starting Bid $1000

‘Dewey Defeats Truman’—the triumphant Truman on the Chicago Tribune: “They missed the boat?” 69. Harry S. Truman Oversized Twice-Signed Photograph - ‘Dewey Defeats Truman’. Iconic vintage

matte-finish 13 x 9.25 photo of the newly elected Truman holding up the infamous ‘Dewey Defeats Truman’ issue of the Chicago Tribune, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Arch Salyer, kind regards from Harry S. Truman, 5-11-65.” Over the newspaper, Truman adds: “They missed the boat? HST.” Archivally double-matted and framed to an overall size of 22 x 18. In fine condition. When the decision to print the infamous ‘Dewey Defeats Truman’ paper was made, returns for the 1948 presidential election were coming in very slowly and time was running out before the Chicago Daily Tribune’s deadline. The pro-Republican Tribune staff, based on the early returns, decided Dewey would be the next president. After the newspaper was delivered to the street, more returns came in and showed that Truman would be reelected. Despite their scramble to recover their mistaken papers, about 2,000 copies were unaccounted for. Showing Truman gleefully displaying the erroneous paper on his train the next morning, this is one of the most famous political photos in US history. Starting Bid $300

“We will accept nothing less than full Victory!”— General Eisenhower’s D-Day order 73. Dwight D. Eisenhower Signed ‘D-Day’ Order from ‘Crusade in Europe’. Souvenir typescript of General Dwight Eisenhower’s ‘Order of the Day’ on June 6, 1944, delivered upon the D-Day invasion of France, 6 x 9.5, removed from one of Eisenhower’s limited edition Crusade in Europe books, signed at the conclusion in fountain pen, “Dwight D. Eisenhower.” The order reads, in part: “Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forces: You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you…But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned!” In fine condition.

and exceptional circa mid-1880s original 3 x 4.5 albumen portrait of the young Theodore Roosevelt, affixed to its original 4.25 x 6.5 Charles L. Ritzmann mount, signed on the mount in ink, “Theodore Roosevelt.” Archivally mounted, matted, and framed under Tru-Vue UV Glas to an overall size of 11.5 x 13.75.

Ritzmann was active in New York City as a seller of celebrity photographs from circa 1870s-1890s. Roosevelt first came to prominence with the publication of The Naval War of 1812 in 1882, which established him as a serious historian. Elected to the New York State Assembly in 1882, 1883, and 1884, he earned a reputation as an ardent fighter of corruption and became known for his exhilarating hunting excursions in the Dakotas. He returned to public life in the 1890s, serving as a member of the United States Civil Service Commission, Police Commissioner of New York City, and Assistant Secretary of the Navy, before resigning to lead the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War. Returning from Cuba as a war hero, he was elected to the vice presidency on the McKinley-Roosevelt ticket, and ascended to the presidency upon McKinley’s death. A superb, ultra-early portrait of a great American. Starting Bid $300

page both sides, 7 x 9, February 17, 1790. Treasury Department circular letter, in part: “I find that the process marked out in my letter of the 30th of November for Calculating the allowance, of 10 per cent for prompt payment has by some of the Officers been misapprehended in one particular—which is with regard to the first proviso, of the 19 Section of the Collection bill, confining the discount to the excess of the amount of the duties above 50 Dollars. As the same misapprehension may be more extensive than has come to my knowledge, I think it is proper to explain myself by a Circular communication. My intention was solely to determine the principle of Calculation, without reference to the object of that proviso. It is clear that the abatement is only to be on the excess: Thus, if the amount of the duty were …Dollars…150—, There would be deduction in the first place of 50—Excess, 100. 10 per Cent per Annum for 6 Months…5, Duty to be paid… 95.

That no difficulty may arise it is proper that it should be understood that any forms which shall be transmitted by the Comptroller of the Treasury, for keeping & stating accounts and making Returns are to be observed of course, though no particular direction from me should accompany them. Or in other words the transmission of such forms by the Comptroller is to be considered as evidence of their having received my approbation.” Matted and framed with an engraved portrait of Hamilton to an overall size of 16 x 13; a window in the backing allows the front to be viewed. In fine condition, with small tape repairs to edge separations and light edge toning. Written just months after the Treasury Department began operations, this circular reflects Hamilton’s hands-on effort to transform the new federal government’s revenue laws into a practical, standardized system. By clarifying the promptpayment discount established under the Collection Act of 1789 and affirming the comptroller’s authority to prescribe uniform accounting forms, Hamilton helped impose the administrative precision essential to collecting customs duties—the young nation’s principal source of federal revenue.

Illiterate conquistador Francisco Pizarro’sexceptionally rare double rubric signature, executed during the formative years of Spanish Peru and descended through the family of President John Adams 144. Francisco Pizarro Autograph Fragment with Double Rubric Signature. Exceptionally rare

autograph fragment bearing Francisco Pizarro’s distinctive double rubric (signature mark), penned in bold ink on off-white 3.25 x 2 sheet, neatly excised from a larger manuscript. Beneath the paired rubrics appears the later manuscript notation, “Jauja. 1534.” Archivally matted and framed with a large portrait and engraved plaque to an overall size of 28 x 21.25. In fine condition. Illiterate throughout his life, Francisco Pizarro (c. 1475– 1541) rose from humble beginnings as the illegitimate son of a Spanish infantry captain to become one of history’s most consequential – and controversial – conquistadors. Despite his inability to read or write, he secured royal backing for his ambitions through the Capitulación de Toledo of 1529, by which Charles V appointed him governor of New Castile and authorized his proposed conquest of Peru. Armed with this commission, Pizarro led the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, capturing Emperor Atahualpa at Cajamarca in 1532 before completing the conquest of Peru. He established the first Spanish capital at Jauja in April 1534 and founded the City of Kings (Lima) the following year, laying the foundations of Spain’s colonial rule in South America. Because he could not write his name, Pizarro authenticated official documents with a distinctive double rubric that served as his legal signature, often accompanied by his name penned by a secretary. As one of the principal architects of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, Pizarro left behind remarkably little autograph material, making surviving examples of his distinctive rubric among the rarest surviving artifacts directly connected to the conquest of the Americas. The later manuscript notation, “Jauja. 1534,” references the settlement founded by Pizarro on April 25, 1534, as the first Spanish capital of Peru before the seat of government was transferred to the newly founded City of Kings (Lima) the following year. Although the notation itself was added in a later hand, it identifies one of the most historically significant locations associated with the earliest years of Spanish colonial administration in South America. The fragment boasts distinguished provenance, descending through the collection of Elizabeth Coombs Adams (1808–1903), granddaughter of President John Adams and daughter of Thomas Boylston Adams. A lifelong resident of Quincy, Massachusetts, Elizabeth Adams devoted herself to preserving both her family’s papers and an important collection of historical manuscripts. Upon her death in 1903, the collection passed by descent through the Bartlett family, remaining in private hands for more than a century before entering the marketplace.

We instruct you to promptly conduct the investigation you have started on the municipal lands that the denizens of the said town have invaded and seized, and that, once everyone’s position has been heard, bring swift justice to whoever it is due, so that the town may receive reparation according to what, in conformity with your findings, has been seized and settled.

Following the Treaty of Granada and the surrender of the Moors in November 1491, the completion of the Reconquista left the Spanish kingdom in need of reparation. Issued by Ferdinand and Isabella on March 31, 1492, the Alhambra Decree ordered the removal of all practicing Jews from the regions of Castile and Aragon within a four-month span, an edict designed to purge Jewish influence from Spain’s large converso population. The broad expulsion also meant that all monies and property left behind were to be roundly confiscated by the Spanish crown.

Following the failure of an earlier convention with the United States, King George IV empowers Britain’s minister to negotiate a treaty for “the more effectual Suppression of the Slave Trade” in 1825

184. King George IV Document Signed, Authorizing Negotiation of a Treaty with the United States for the Suppression of the Slave Trade (1825). Manuscript DS,

signed “George R.,” one page, both sides, 8 x 12.25, June 22, 1825. Royal warrant issued from Carlton House directing the Lord Chancellor to affix the Great Seal of the United Kingdom to an accompanying Full Power authorizing Charles Richard Vaughan, British Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, to negotiate a treaty with the United States for “the more effectual Suppression of the Slave Trade.” Signed prominently at the top of the first page by King George IV, and countersigned on the reverse by Foreign Secretary George Canning. The warrant retains its original paper seal, ribbon binding, and its contemporary copy of the Full Power referenced in the text. Opening: “Whereas, for the better discussing of and arranging certain Matters now in discussion between Us and Our Good Friends The United States of America, with a view to the more effectual Suppression of the Slave Trade, We have judged it expedient to invest a fit Person with Full Power to conduct the said Discussion on Our Part.” The instrument appoints Vaughan as Britain’s commissioner and plenipotentiary, empowering him to “treat, adjust, and conclude” with representatives of the United States “any Treaty or Agreement that may tend to the attainment of the abovementioned end.” In fine condition, with a few trivial marks or stains.

Issued in 1825, this royal warrant documents a pivotal stage in Great Britain’s diplomatic campaign to secure international cooperation against the transatlantic slave trade. The mission followed the collapse of an earlier Anglo-American convention negotiated in 1824, which sought to classify the slave trade as piracy and grant British and American warships reciprocal rights to search suspected slave vessels. After the U.S. Senate amended the agreement to restrict those search rights to African waters, Britain rejected the changes, and the treaty failed before ratification could be exchanged. Charles Richard Vaughan, newly appointed British minister to the United States, carried the present Full Power to Washington to reopen negotiations with Secretary of State Henry Clay under the Adams administration. Those efforts ultimately foundered on continuing American opposition to reciprocal search rights, a lingering consequence of tensions left by the War of 1812 and British naval impressment, and the two nations would not conclude a comprehensive slave trade suppression treaty until the Lyons–Seward Treaty of 1862. Countersigned by Foreign Secretary George Canning, who had made suppression of the slave trade a central objective of British foreign policy, this document preserves the royal authorization behind one of the nineteenth-century’s most significant, though ultimately unsuccessful, Anglo-American diplomatic initiatives.

Edison,” one page, 8.5 x 11, From the Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison letterhead, August 6, 1917. Letter to General Henry L. Abbot, a longtime U.S. Army engineer who, after the Civil War, commanded the engineer battalion at Willet’s Point, New York, and made substantial contributions to the coast defense systems of the United States of that period, particularly in the submarine mine system and in the use of seacoast mortars. In full:

“Will you kindly favor me with some information with regard to experiments conducted by yourself on Submarine explosives. I am interested in the following points: 1. Nature of explosives used. 2. Amount of explosive used. 3. Distance of explosive from target. 4. Effect on target. 5. Nature of target. 6. Pressure developed by the explosive. Any information or references will be greatly appreciated.” In fine condition. Thomas Edison was a major advocate for military preparedness at the outset of World War I. He was appointed to head a naval advisory board by Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels in 1915, tasked with the evaluation of public proposals to improve military capabilities, especially to counter submarine threats. In 1917, Edison began to focus his own research on the protection of surface ships from submarine attack—this letter, sent to one of the Army’s leading experts on submarine munitions, clearly stems from those investigations. Edison also studied camouflage methods, smoke reduction, ship navigation, and submarine detection in an effort to protect American shipping. His influence also led to the establishment of the Naval Research Laboratory, laying the foundation for the U.S. government’s future investment in technological innovation for national security.

“We probably cannot demand more than that”—Einstein writes to mathematician Chaim Herman Müntz on Hamiltonian mechanics, filling the page with equations exploring covariance and invariance 277. Albert Einstein Autograph Letter Signed on Hamiltonian Mechanics with Extensive Equations on Covariance and Invariance. ALS in German, signed

“A. Einstein,” one page, 8.75 x 11, undated. Handwritten letter to mathematician Chaim Herman Müntz, densely penned with equations and mathematical notation as Einstein works through a problem involving Hamiltonian mechanics and invariance, in full (translated): “The equation proposed by me is, after all, largely covariant. Namely, the canonical equations are covariant: dq?/dt = ∂H/∂p?, dp?/dt = -∂H/∂q? If one restricts oneself to transformations for which ?? p? dq? is invariant, then because of the first system of canonical equations, ? p? ∂H/∂p? is also [“covariant” crossed out] invariant, because ∂H/∂p? transforms like dq?. Regarding the left side of the equation, it behaves as follows: The equation ∂(? dq?/dt)/∂q? + ∂(? dp?/dt)/∂p? = ∂?/∂t is an invariant equation because of the invariant sense of this equation, specifically for arbitrary canonical transformations, and therefore also the equation ∂?/∂q? ∂H/∂p? - ∂?/∂p? ∂H/∂q? = ∂?/∂t.

The left side of this equation thus transforms like ∂?/∂t, and therefore also like ?. Thus, 1/? (∂?/∂q? ∂H/∂p? - ∂?/∂p? ∂H/∂q?) is an invariant with respect to arbitrary transformations. It follows, therefore, that the equation ∂?/∂q? ∂H/∂p? - ∂?/∂p? ∂H/∂q? = - j 2π/h p? ∂H/∂p?? is invariant for all transformations which leave p? dq? invariant. We probably cannot demand more than that. It is therefore likely justified if we attempt the problem of the rotator on the basis of this equation.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope postmarked in Potsdam, Germany, apparently in 1929.

Einstein had been corresponding with mathematician Chaim Herman Müntz since 1927, and by 1928 the two were exchanging ideas concerning distant parallelism, or Fernparallelismus, the mathematical framework Einstein was then exploring in his attempt to formulate a unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetism. Müntz contributed directly to these investigations, undertaking detailed calculations of the centrally symmetric problem that Einstein acknowledged in his published work. Their collaboration continued during an especially active period in Einstein’s search for a unified field theory, when he pursued the distant-parallelism approach in a series of papers between 1928 and 1931. Later in 1929, Hamilton’s principle became another element of Einstein’s unified-field research as he addressed mathematical concerns raised by Müntz and Cornelius Lanczos. The mathematics developed in the present letter, however, appears to address a distinct problem rather than Einstein’s unified-field theory itself. Einstein begins with Hamilton’s canonical equations of classical mechanics and examines their behavior under transformations preserving certain expressions. He proceeds through a succession of covariance and invariance arguments, determining how individual terms transform and establishing the invariance of increasingly complex expressions before arriving at his final equation. The page consequently preserves the progression of Einstein’s mathematical reasoning almost step by step, from the canonical equations through the transformations necessary to establish his result. He concludes, “We probably cannot demand more than that,” before proposing that they attempt what he calls the problem of the rotator on the basis of the equation he has derived. Starting Bid $1000

“It is interesting that 5 is dimensionally connected with Planck’s h, but this may be a coincidence”—Einstein writes to mathematician Chaim Herman Müntz on Hamiltonian mechanics, noting an intriguing connection to Planck’s constant 279. Albert Einstein Autograph Letter Signed on Hamiltonian Mechanics and Planck’s Constant. ALS in German, signed “A. Einstein,” one page, 5.75 x 8.25, no date [postmarked January 8, 1929]. Handwritten letter to mathematician Herman Müntz concerning Einstein’s theoretical work and asking him to independently verify his calculations. In full (translated): “The more careful consideration of the new theoretical idea shows that it leads to extraordinarily simple and satisfactory conclusions. I am sending you the draft here with the request that you recalculate everything independently (including the numerical factors), especially since I am tired and not at all convinced that there aren’t still calculation errors in it. I would also like you to perform the calculation mentioned last, i.e., substituting (9d) into the identities (6) for G_μ_α, which follow from (9a). In the event that one is allowed to set the S_μ_α to zero, the Hamilton function simplifies to the one used by us previously: h = F₁ − F₃

It is interesting that 5 is dimensionally connected with Planck’s h, but this may be a coincidence. — Compatibility is not a problem here at all, because everything follows from Hamilton.” In fine condition, with wear to the left edge. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Einstein’s hand to “Dr. H. Müntz” in Nikolassee and postmarked at BerlinCharlottenburg on January 8, 1929. Einstein had been corresponding with mathematician Chaim Herman Müntz since 1927, and by 1928 the two were exchanging ideas concerning distant parallelism, or Fernparallelismus, the mathematical framework Einstein was exploring in his attempt to formulate a unified theory of gravitation and electro-

magnetism. Müntz contributed directly to these investigations, undertaking detailed calculations of the centrally symmetric problem that Einstein acknowledged in his published work. Their collaboration continued during an especially active period in Einstein’s search for a unified field theory, as he pursued the distant-parallelism approach in a series of papers between 1928 and 1931. The present letter offers a revealing glimpse into their working relationship. Einstein sends Müntz his treatment of a new theoretical idea and asks him to “recalculate everything independently (including the numerical factors),” candidly explaining that he is “tired” and not convinced that his work is free of calculation errors. Einstein then considers a simplification of the Hamilton function before noting an intriguing dimensional relationship to one of the fundamental constants of quantum physics: “It is interesting that 5 is dimensionally connected with Planck’s h, but this may be a coincidence.” The numeral 5 may refer to an equation or quantity in the accompanying theoretical work that Einstein had sent Müntz to check, although the present letter does not define it. Planck’s constant, h, introduced by Max Planck in his work on quantum theory, relates the energy of a quantum to its frequency. Characteristically cautious, Einstein immediately allows that the dimensional correspondence he has noticed may simply be coincidental. He concludes that compatibility presents “no problem here at all, because everything follows from Hamilton.” Hamilton’s principle would become another element of his unified-field investigations later in 1929, as he addressed mathematical concerns raised by Müntz and Cornelius Lanczos.

photography in Munich from 1925 to 1927. She then took over her father’s studio in Berlin. When the National Socialist regime made it nearly impossible for Jacobi to work from 1933 onwards, she initially worked under various pseudonyms. In 1935, she emigrated to New York with her son. Here, in 1940, she married the Berlin publisher Erich Reiß. She lived in the city until 1955 and portrayed American and emigrated European intellectuals, writers, and artists. Jacobi and Einstein worked on a series of portraits from the late 1930s, commissioned by Life magazine in Princeton, to shape his media image. Einstein agreed to be photographed only if Lotte Jacobi was commissioned for the photography. Pieces signed by both are exceedingly rare—this is the first such example we have offered.

The primary sonar transmitter will directly affect the sonar receptor through the body of the torpedo, in fact 1000 times more strongly than through the waves reflected from the target. I doubt that it will be possible to precisely counterbalance this direct effect upon the receptors in order to avoid its causing the torpedo to turn… It would seem possible to me to give up the idea of having the torpedo equipped with its own sonar transmitter and instead to rely exclusively on the acoustic waves in the water that will be sent back by the target itself. However, these will not be strong

enough to activate a directional device. One would have to try to utilize the differences in phase as an activating principle. It seems equally questionable whether this can be carried out in practice. In any case, for the time being, I do not consider the outlook for your project to be sufficiently favorable for me to support it.” In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds and light scattered staining. Written in August 1938, on the eve of the Second World War, Einstein’s letter reflects the intense contemporary interest in applying modern physics and acoustics to military technology. Responding to Navara’s proposed acoustic guidance system for torpedoes, Einstein carefully evaluates the technical obstacles of sonar-based targeting and ultimately declines to endorse the project. The letter is especially evocative given its timing: within a year Europe would be at war, and Einstein himself would soon play an indirect but consequential role in wartime science through his famous 1939 letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt concerning the potential military implications of nuclear fission. Starting Bid $500

Original engineering studies by Robert Fulton for steam engine components, preserved by his friend and first biographer, Cadwallader D. Colden 284. Robert Fulton Original Engineering Drawings of Steam Engine Components - From the Collection of Cadwallader D. Colden.

American inventor, engineer, and entrepreneur (1765–1815) best known for designing the first commercially successful steamboat. Extraordinary group of original engineering drawings by Robert Fulton, accomplished in ink and graphite on both sides of two off-white sheets, 9.75 x 8 and 15.75 x 13, unsigned and undated. The larger sheet bears eight graphite sketches of steam-engine components, with Fulton identifying elements including “Water Wheel,” “Cylinder,” “Condenser,” “Air Flow,” “Steam,” and “Condensing.” The smaller sheet, an unfolded mailing envelope addressed to “Cadwalader D. Colden, Esqr., Albany,” and postmarked at New York, March 7, contains approximately ten additional ink sketches of related mechanical designs. Contemporary annotations in another hand identify the material as “Pictures of Fulton” and “Pictures of Fulton, Scribled on my table at Albany.” In overall very good to fine condition, with professional overall silking to both items. Accompanied by a clothbound presentation folder. Among the foremost engineers and inventors of the early American republic, Robert Fulton (1765–1815) transformed inland transportation through the successful application of steam power to navigation. Although best remembered for the commercially successful North River Steamboat, later popularly known as the Clermont, Fulton devoted much of his career to refining steam engines, canal systems, mechanical propulsion, and other practical technologies. These remarkable working sketches offer a rare glimpse into his engineering process, illustrating components associated with steam generation, condensation, cylinders, airflow, and water-driven power. Rather than polished presentation drawings, they represent the sort of spontaneous technical studies through which Fulton developed and communicated his mechanical ideas. The drawings descend from Cadwallader D. Colden (1769–1834), statesman, canal advocate, and one of Fulton’s closest friends and associates. Colden served as mayor of New York City from 1818 to 1821, represented New York in Congress from 1821 to 1823, and later served in the state senate from 1825 to 1827. In 1825, during the final stages of the Erie Canal project, he was commissioned by the Common Council of New York City to prepare a memoir commemorating the completion of the New York canals. In 1817, two years after Fulton’s death, he published The Life of Robert Fulton, the first full-length biography of the inventor and an indispensable contemporary account of his life and achievements. The mailing envelope addressed to Colden and the accompanying contemporary notations identifying the contents as “Pictures of Fulton” provide compelling evidence linking these original engineering studies to the very individual responsible for preserving Fulton’s legacy.

Purington served as the officer in charge of the Apache prisoners of war at Fort Sill, where Geronimo and other Chiricahua Apaches were confined beginning in 1894. In 1904, Geronimo agreed to work with educator S. M. Barrett on the publication of his autobiography, provided that the officers at Fort Sill approved. Purington initially refused, remarking that the ‘old Apache deserved to be hanged rather than spoiled by so much attention from civilians.’ Barrett appealed to President Theodore Roosevelt, who referred the matter back through military channels. Purington ultimately recommended approval, provided Barrett assumed responsibility for the book’s contents and the completed manuscript was submitted for his review before publication.

The faces of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West— Annie Oakley-signed book page and William F. ‘Buffalo Bill’ Cody-signed book, both dated 1905 during the tour’s celebrated run through France 319. Annie Oakley and William F. ‘Buffalo Bill’ Cody (2) Signed Items - The Two Greatest Stars of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West. Two items signed by Annie Oakley and William F. Cody, two of the most celebrated attractions of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World. The first is a vintage ink signature, “Annie Oakley, July the 29th 1905,” on a trimmed 3.25 x 5 book page featuring a printed portrait of “Miss Annie Oakley, Expert Lady Pistol Shot,” which is affixed by its top edge to a slightly larger backing sheet.

The second is a French-language book entitled (translated) ‘The Life, History, and Adventures of Colonel William F. Cody (‘Buffalo Bill’) by Rene d’Hubert, ‘Based on documents and information provided by his friend Col. W. F. Cody,’ published by the Partington Advertising Company of Paris in 1905, 5.25 x 7.5, 286 pages, hardcover with red boards and gilt designs and text, signed and inscribed on an opening page in bold ink, “With the Compliments of the subject, W. F. Cody, ‘Buffalo Bill,’ To Master White, Jr., Sep. 29th 1905.” The title page, which identifies the book as a ‘New Edition,’ bears a printed caption which reads: “This book was specially written on the occasion of Colonel Cody’s 1905 journey through France with his ‘Rough Riders of the World.’” Oakley is in fine condition; Cody has light staining and foxing to the signed page. Book condition: G-/None, with edgewear, chipping and repairs to the spine, and scuffing and rubbing to boards. After arriving in Paris in March 1905, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World established an enormous encampment on the Champ-de-Mars, presenting twice-daily performances beneath a massive tent reportedly measuring 125 meters long by 40 meters wide. Contemporary accounts describe immense crowds throughout the engagement, with millions attending during the show’s two-month Paris run alone. From there, Cody’s company embarked on an ambitious provincial tour through more than 100 French cities between April and November 1905, traveling virtually nonstop by rail and presenting elaborate frontier reenactments, cavalry exhibitions, and international riding demonstrations featuring hundreds of performers from numerous nations. Annie Oakley joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West in 1885 and quickly became its most celebrated performer after Cody himself. Renowned for her astonishing marksmanship, she achieved international fame during the troupe’s enormously successful European tours of the late nineteenth century, including appearances surrounding the 1889 Paris Exposition, which helped establish her as America’s first female superstar. Oakley’s career with Buffalo Bill ended after she suffered serious injuries in the organization’s devastating 1901 train wreck, though she remained a prominent public figure through later stage appearances, exhibitions, and advocacy for women’s shooting instruction.

Notorious Figures and Lawmen 342. Al Capone (5) Press Photographs Spanning the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, Tax Trial, Imprisonment, and Later Life. Five glossy press

photographs, ranging in size from 5 x 7 to 10 x 8, depicting Al Capone at pivotal moments spanning the final years of his criminal career and his later life. The group includes: Capone chatting with Atlanta newspapermen upon his arrival to begin serving his federal prison sentence (May 3, 1932); Capone seated beside attorney Michael Ahern during his landmark federal income tax-evasion trial in Chicago (October 9, 1931); Capone attending the Miami Beach wedding of his son, Albert Capone, in one of his rare post-prison public appearances (December 30, 1941); a contemporary portrait issued in the immediate aftermath of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, with a caption discussing renewed scrutiny of Capone and the slaying of Bugs Moran’s men (February 18, 1929); and a photograph of Hall of Fame Chicago Cubs catcher Gabby Hartnett signing a baseball for Capone and his 12-year-old son, Sonny, during a Cubs-White Sox exhibition game on September 9, 1931, with bodyguards, including ‘Machine Gun Jack’ McGurn, visible in the background. Each photograph bears wire service captions, publication stamps, editorial markings, or annotations on the reverse. In overall fine condition, with light scattered marks and a faint horizontal bend to the 1929 portrait. During a September 9, 1931, exhibition game against the Chicago White Sox in Comiskey Park, fan-favorite Gabby Hartnett chatted with fans in the first row, one of whom was Al Capone, who was in attendance with his son and a regiment of his bodyguards. Capone was 18 months removed from the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre and had been out of prison for roughly the same length of time, following a nine-month sentence on a concealed weapon charge. When the crime boss asked for a signed baseball for his son, Hartnett didn’t think twice, a decision the press was only too happy to capture and publish in newspapers across the country. The exhibition game was organized to benefit Governor Louis Lincoln Emmerson’s unemployment fund, which evolved into the Chicago branch of the United Way. Despite the inherent philanthropy, baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis was not happy with the optics of one of his signature players making nice with the notorious Capone, who returned to prison just a month later to serve an 11-year term for tax evasion. The next day, Landis dashed off a terse telegram to Hartnett. ‘You are no longer allowed to have your picture taken with Al Capone.’ The catcher acquiesced to the demand and wired back his reply: ‘OK, but if you don’t want me to have my picture taken with Al Capone, you tell him.’ Starting Bid $200

The photo bears the period caption “Miami Beach, Fla. July 1940” in the lower border, with the reverse retaining a photo finisher’s certification stamp dated July 29, 1940. In fine condition. Originates from the personal photo album of Dorothy Pucci Capone, who was married to Albert Capone for a number of years. Following his release from Alcatraz in November 1939, Al Capone returned to his Palm Island estate in Miami Beach, where declining health from neurosyphilis and paresis largely ended his involvement in organized crime. By the summer of 1940, he spent much of his time with family, including his younger brother. Albert ‘Bites’ Capone (1905–1980), born Umberto Capone, was the low-profile younger brother of gangster Al Capone. Although he occasionally drew the attention of law enforcement because of his family connections, he largely avoided his brother’s criminal notoriety and legally changed his surname to Rayola in 1942 to distance himself from it. He spent his later years living quietly in the Chicago suburbs, a marked contrast to his infamous sibling. Starting Bid $200

“Here is your friend Al Capone, writing you this letter from here”— handwritten 1941 letter to his family physician, written as neurosyphilis ravaged his mental faculties, requesting: “please send me 2 boxes of them red pills for bowels movement” 346. Al Capone Autograph Letter Signed, Requesting Medication from His Family Physician (August 25, 1941). Boldly penned

ALS, one page, 6.5 x 10.25, postmarked August 25, 1941 (Hurley, Wisconsin).

Send to this address its the address I’ll be until I leave. 7244 Prairie Ave., Chicago, Ill.” In fine condition. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Capone’s own hand. Hurley, Wisconsin, was home to Capone’s older brother, Ralph Capone, who retired there after his release from prison in 1934. The recipient, Kenneth Phillips, was the primary physician for both Al and Mae Capone during their years in Miami, Florida. Phillips, who had cared for the Capone family since 1927, first treated Mae for syphilis before also caring for Al, whose untreated infection progressed to neurosyphilis and severely impaired his mental faculties. Written while Capone was visiting Wisconsin and preparing to spend several weeks in Chicago, this letter demonstrates that he continued to rely on Phillips for his medical care, requesting that medication be forwarded to his temporary address. By 1941, syphilis specialist Dr. Joseph Moore estimated that Capone’s mental capacity had regressed to that of a child between the ages of seven and fourteen, a condition reflected in the letter’s noticeably simple prose. In 1942, after penicillin became available for civilian use in the United States, Capone was among the earliest American patients to receive the new antibiotic. By then, however, treatment came too late to reverse the neurological damage, though it did help slow the progression of the disease. The Marc and Mary Perkins Collection. Starting Bid $2500

Schmeisser Model I semi-automatic pocket pistol, presented by Al Capone to a family relative 353. Al Capone Schmeisser Model I Semi-Automatic .25 Pistol, Presented to Family Relative Rudolph Pucci . Schmeisser Model I semi-automatic pistol presented

by Al Capone to Rudolph Pucci, a relative by marriage through Capone’s younger brother, Albert Umberto Capone, serial no. 18314, chambered in .25 ACP. Manufactured by C. G. Haenel of Suhl, Germany, and dating to circa 1920–1921, this compact vest-pocket pistol was designed for discreet personal protection and belongs squarely to the opening years of Prohibition and Capone’s rise in Chicago. Factory-engraved on the barrel, “C. G. Haenel Suhl, Germany, Schmeisser’s Patent,” the pistol retains approximately 80% of its original factory blue and is fitted with its original checkered hard-rubber grips bearing intertwined “SH” monograms. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the current owner, a granddaughter of Rudolph Pucci, the brother-in-law of Albert Umberto Capone, Al Capone’s younger brother. In part: “My name is Beth Sutton Herlihy. My mother was Mona Pucci Clemens (she was born Mona Pucci), and her parents were Rudolph and Maxine Pucci. Rudolph Pucci’s sister, Dorothy Pucci Capone, was my great-aunt. For many years her husband was Albert Capone, who was born Umberto Capone. He was a brother of Chicago Mob Boss Alphonse Capone, and my family was close to the Capones, including to Alphonse Capone, being related to them by marriage. Alphonse Capone and his wife Mae gave several items to my grandmother and grandfather. In particular, my grandfather, Rudolph Pucci, was given several guns by Alphonse Capone. One of these is a Schmeisser .25 caliber pistol with Serial Number 18314. These guns have been in the possession of my family continuously since Rudy Pucci received them from Alphonse Capone. They are now in the possession of me and my husband, Dan Herlihy, and at this time we are selling the Schmeisser .25 caliber pistol.

Several of our family photos appear in the book Capone: The Man and the Era by Laurence Bergreen. My grandmother, Maxine Pucci, and my mother, Mona Pucci Clemens, licensed those images to Mr. Bergreen, who knew that we were related to the Capones.” Includes a further corroborating statement from organized crime researcher John J. Binder, author of The Chicago Outfit (2003), Al Capone’s Beer Wars (2017), and The Chicago Outfit in the 1960s (2026), in part: “I met Maxine Pucci and Mona Pucci Clemens in about 1992, when I brought Larry Bergreen, the author of the book Capone: The Man and the Era, to their house. They allowed Larry to use several of their family photos, including those with Al Capone, in his book. At that time, Maxine and Mona showed me several guns and a police nightstick that had been converted to hold a tear gas canister, all of which Al Capone had given to Rudy Pucci many years earlier. They told me the story behind these items, which have remained in the family ever since. They are now in the possession of Beth and Dan Herlihy. Beth and Dan have decided at this time to sell the Schmeisser .25 Pistol (Serial Number 18314) that Al Capone gave to Rudy Pucci. I have done research on this gun and I have determined, after conversing with people who have expert knowledge about Schmeisser pistols (including Dr. Stefan Klein), that this particular gun (Serial Number 18314) was produced no later than July 3, 1921. And probably during the beginning of the year 1920. This assessment is based on the gun’s unique serial number and the fact that Schmeisser modified this type pistol several times, and therefore the pistol’s features can be used to determine during which time period it was manufactured.” This transfers as a modern firearm.

368. Capone Gang 1932 Police Identification Photograph of Frank Rio, Paul Ricca, Michael Costello, and Philip D’Andrea. Original vintage glossy 6.5 x 4.75 standing

police identification photograph depicting four prominent Capone Gang members following their November 2, 1932, arrest, identified on the reverse as (left to right) Frank Rio, Michael Costello, Philip D’Andrea, and Paul Ricca. Typed notations on the reverse record each man’s name, height, police identification number, and the date “11-2-32,” with departmental attribution to Lieutenant McGinnis of the Detective Bureau. In very good to fine condition, with some crazing and surface marks. Taken just months after Al Capone entered federal prison in May 1932, this photograph captures a pivotal moment in the Chicago Outfit’s evolution. According to historian John J. Binder in Al Capone’s Beer Wars, Frank Rio, Capone’s longtime bodyguard and trusted lieutenant, almost certainly succeeded Capone as head of the organization following his imprisonment and remained in charge when this photograph was taken, before Frank Nitti assumed leadership later that year. Also pictured is Paul Ricca, who by 1935 had become the Outfit’s underboss and would ultimately emerge as one of the most powerful Mafia leaders in American history. Philip D’Andrea, another longtime Capone associate, had gained national attention the previous year after being arrested for carrying a concealed weapon into Capone’s 1931 tax-evasion trial. Representing four influential members of the Capone organization during one of its most consequential leadership transitions, this is a noteworthy Chicago Mob police identification photograph.

Earliest known Meyer Lansky mug shot to reach public auction— original Philadelphia Police Department photograph from his March 7, 1928 New York homicide arrest arising from the John Barrett gangland shooting involving Bugsy Siegel 383. Meyer Lansky Rare Original Philadelphia Police Department Mug Shot Photograph - From His 1928 Homicide Arrest. Original glossy 5 x 3 Philadelphia

case came before Magistrate Benjamin Marvin in a Long Island courtroom. There, Barrett abruptly recanted his identification, insisting that none of the men before him were his attackers despite having previously identified them by name. The magistrate, openly skeptical of the coordinated defense, remarked that it was ‘the best drilled thing I ever saw.’ With Barrett refusing to sign a complaint, the prosecution collapsed, and the charges were dismissed. The arrest represents one of the earliest surviving documented police records linking Lansky and Siegel to the same violent criminal investigation, years before their partnership helped shape the emerging National Crime Syndicate.

The charge stemmed from a gangland shooting some five weeks earlier. On January 29, 1928, John Barrett, a low-level associate embroiled in a dispute over the division of profits from a stolen-goods racket, attended a meeting at the Sunnyside, Queens, residence of Louis ‘Lepke’ Buchalter, where associates of Buchalter, Meyer Lansky, and Benjamin ‘Bugsy’ Siegel gathered to settle the matter. Shortly afterward, Barrett was forced into an automobile with Meyer Lansky, Benjamin ‘Bugsy’ Siegel at the wheel, and associates Joseph Benzola and Samuel ‘Red’ Levine. A few blocks later, Barrett was shot in the head, but survived by kicking the accelerator from beneath Siegel’s foot and leaping from the moving vehicle. From his hospital bed, Barrett identified Lansky as the gunman.

Although the reverse bears a Philadelphia Bureau of Police identification form, the consignor notes that the photograph itself originated from Lansky’s March 7, 1928 arrest in New York, and that it was common practice for police departments to exchange mug shots, with receiving agencies recording the information on their own identification forms. The reverse records Lansky’s Brooklyn address at 125 South 3rd Street, an address corroborated by contemporary newspaper accounts and FBI records. This same mug shot was later reproduced as the frontispiece of Robert Lacey’s Little Man: Meyer Lansky and the Gangster Life (1991), with the frontal image also appearing on the book’s dust jacket. To the best of our knowledge, no earlier Meyer Lansky mug shot has appeared at public auction, making this perhaps the earliest obtainable police photograph of one of organized crime’s most influential figures. Starting Bid $1500

The inspiration for ‘Double Indemnity’— rare archive documenting the life and death of Ruth Snyder in Sing Sing Prison 391. Ruth Snyder Archive: Autograph Letter Signed, Sing Sing Prison Account Statements, and Official ‘Legal Electrocution’ Death Notices - The Inspiration for ‘Double Indemnity’. Notorious New York City housewife (1895–1928) convicted with her lover, Henry Judd Gray, of the 1927 murder of her husband, Albert Snyder, and executed in Sing Sing’s electric chair; the case inspired the classic crime novel and film noir Double Indemnity. Remarkable archive from the personal papers of Sing Sing Prison assistant comptroller clerk Frank Mazzur, including an ALS by Ruth Snyder, prison deposit sheet ledgers for Snyder and Gray, official Sing Sing death notices for Snyder and Gray, Mazzur’s New York Police Department ‘License to Carry’ card, and his police whistle. Includes: - ALS in pencil, signed “Ruth B. Snyder,” one page, 5.5 x 8.5, no date but circa July 1927, Snyder writes to Mazzur, instructing him to provide money to her family. In full: “Could you please allow me to send home $10—to my daughter Lorraine Snyder, 9327-222nd St., Queens Village, L.I. N.Y., along with the $50—amount for my mother? Thank you for your past favors.” In good to very good condition, with uniform toning and tears and separations repaired on the reverse with archival tape. - two 16 x 10.5 “Deposit Sheet” ledger pages for Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd Gray, tracking drafts and deposits from May 1927 through January 1928. The Snyder ledger documents disbursement of the requested payments—$50 to Josephine Brown and $10 to Lorraine Snyder—on July 12, 1927. Both pages document the termination of the accounts on January 12, 1928: “Discharged by Legal Electrocution.” In overall fine condition. - two 4.25 x 5.25 Sing Sing Prison “Hospital Death Notice” documents signed by Dr. Charles C. Sweet, the prison’s chief physician and medical director, who attended more than 300 executions at Sing Sing in order to officially examine the

inmates and pronounce them dead. Snyder’s notice documents her demise by “Legal electrocution” at 11:06 P.M. on January 12, 1928; Gray’s death came just minutes later at 11:13 P.M. Both notices are affixed to the detached final pages of a Mazzur’s copy of Doomed Ship, written by Judd Gray; the book is included, and laid in is a handwritten note: “This book is worn out because I’ve loaned it to so many people… Judd Gray wrote ‘Doomed Ship’ to reimburse his family for the expense of his trial.” - Frank Mazzur’s City of New York Police Department identification card, 4 x 2.75, stamp-dated January 16, 1923 on the reverse, identifying his occupation as “Chauffeur” and granting him permission to carry a pistol. In good condition, with losses to edges and a vertical tear repaired with archival tape on the reverse. - Frank Mazzur’s personally-owned 3.25˝-long police whistle. The Snyder-Gray murder case was one of the great tabloid sensations of the 1920s, arising from the March 1927 killing of Ruth Snyder’s husband, Albert, by Snyder and her lover, corset salesman Henry Judd Gray. Their affair, clumsy attempts to disguise the murder as a burglary, dueling confessions, and sensational joint trial captivated the New York press, which transformed the pair into notorious symbols of Jazz Age crime. Both were convicted and executed at Sing Sing on January 12, 1928; Snyder’s execution became especially infamous when a Daily News photographer secretly captured an image of her in the electric chair, which appeared the next day on the newspaper’s front page. This extraordinary archive brings that celebrated case down to an unusually intimate, institutional level: from Snyder’s simple request to send money to her young daughter, to the prison ledgers recording those payments, and finally to the stark death notices and account entries documenting the executions themselves.

Whittaker 414. Depression-Era Police Bulletin Board with (10) Bureau of Investigation Wanted Circulars for John Dillinger, Clyde Barrow, Baby Face Nelson, and Other Public Enemies. Incredible

original police bulletin board assembled and maintained by the Chief of Police in Drumright, Oklahoma, 32.5 x 29.5, displaying 10 original United States Bureau of Investigation and Division of Investigation wanted circulars for many of the Prohibition era’s most infamous public enemies, issued between 1932 and 1934, accompanied by seven contemporary mug shots and identification photographs. According to an accompanying provenance statement, the board originally belonged to Drumright Chief of Police Jack Ary, remained in law enforcement hands after being acquired in 1937 by Oklahoma City officer W. C. ‘Spot’ Gentry, and was presented in 1977 to retiring Oklahoma FBI bureau chief Kenneth W. Whittaker. The wanted notices include John Dillinger, Clyde Barrow, Charles Arthur ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd, Lester M. ‘Baby Face’ Nelson, Homer Van Meter, John Hamilton, Wilbur Underhill, Tommy Carroll, Frank Nash, and Verne Miller. Many of the circulars bear contemporary handwritten notations recording each outlaw’s ultimate fate, such as “Killed at Chicago,” “Killed in Ohio,” and “Killed at St. Paul,” while several retain typed update slips reporting later developments, including deaths and captures. The board also incorporates additional mounted mug shots of lesser-known criminals, including Herman Barker and Earl Quinn, creating a working ‘rogues’ gallery’ that remained in active use as events unfolded during the FBI’s war against organized crime. In overall very good condition, with assorted stains, toning, tears, and areas of paper loss.

Edgar Hoover, and an original portrait painting of Hoover, each individually framed and ranging in size from 13 x 17 to 20.5 x 26.25. Preserved as an authentic working law-enforcement reference board rather than a later collector’s display, it reflects how local police departments tracked the Public Enemy manhunts of the early 1930s.

Its documented provenance through local police and the FBI—including Kenneth W. Whittaker, a former aide to J. Edgar Hoover who later served as Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Miami Field Office—further enhances its significance as an artifact of Depression-era law enforcement. Starting Bid $500

Dillinger’s nine-year stint in the Indiana Correctional System, he met and befriended a number of hard-core criminals who would later become part of his gang: Harry Pierpont, John Hamilton, Homer Van Meter, Fat Charley Makley, Russell Clark, and Walter Dietrich. Dillinger was released in May 1933, after a petition bearing the signatures of almost 200 residents from his adopted hometown of Mooresville, Indiana—including that of his grocer victim—was presented to the governor. Embittered with the criminal justice system for having served what he felt was an unjust term, Dillinger quickly resumed a life of crime with his prison friends, whom he helped escape in a spectacular and well-planned breakout. He and the gang embarked on a bank robbing spree, conducting a dozen separate heists between June 21, 1933, and June 30, 1934—to the tune of well over $300,000. In 1934, when J. Edgar Hoover named Dillinger ‘Public Enemy Number 1,’ Indiana Governor Paul V. McNutt’s secretary, Wayne Coy, observed: ‘There does not seem to me to be any escape from the fact that the State of Indiana made John Dillinger the Public Enemy that he is today.

The reverse bears a contemporary ink identification. In very good to fine condition with light creasing and crazing, primarily to the corners. Accompanied by a copy of Sutton’s criminal record noting this arrest. Arrested on November 25, 1930, this mug shot captures Willie Sutton at a pivotal moment in his criminal career. The arrest followed his daring October 28, 1930 robbery of Manhattan’s J. Rosenthal & Sons jewelry store, where Sutton posed as a Western Union messenger to gain entry before making off with approximately $129,000 in jewels. Already on parole, Sutton’s arrest ultimately resulted in his recommitment to prison and a 30-year sentence, from which he would stage the first of several spectacular escapes. Over the following decades, his meticulously planned robberies, ingenious disguises, and repeated prison breaks earned him the nicknames Willie the Actor and Slick Willie, securing his place as America’s most celebrated bank robber of the twentieth century.

432. Harry ‘Pete’ Pierpont Original Indiana State Prison Mugshot (Inmate No. 11014). Prohibition-era gangster, bank rob-

ber, and convicted murderer (1902-1934) who served as the leader and principal strategist of the notorious Dillinger Gang. A close friend and mentor to John Dillinger, Pierpont was regarded as an intelligent, soft-spoken natural leader whose fierce loyalty earned the respect of his fellow outlaws. Preferring to avoid publicity, he allowed Dillinger to become the gang’s public face while directing many of its criminal operations. Original glossy 4.5 x 3 Indiana State Prison mugshot photograph of Harry ‘Pete’ Pierpont, showing profile and frontal views, identified by prisoner number “11014.” In very good to fine condition, with stains, scattered creasing, and light surface wear. The identification of this mug shot is corroborated by the Indiana Archives and Records Administration’s Dillinger Collection, which lists Harry Pierpont as Indiana State Prison inmate no. 11014, the same prisoner number visible in the photograph. Pierpont received this number upon his incarceration at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, where he later befriended John Dillinger and became the principal architect of the gang that would bear Dillinger’s name. On September 26, 1933, Pierpont escaped along with nine other inmates using firearms that Dillinger – free on parole at the time – had smuggled into the prison. He subsequently led the gang through a series of robberies and was instrumental in the October 1933 jailbreak that freed Dillinger from the Allen County Jail in Lima, Ohio, during which Sheriff Jess Sarber was fatally shot. Captured in Tucson, Arizona, in January 1934, Pierpont was convicted of Sarber’s murder and executed in Ohio’s electric chair on October 17, 1934. Starting Bid $200

Before the Revolutionary War, the British Parliament passed the Currency Acts of 1751, 1764, and 1773 to regulate colonial paper money and protect British merchants from depreciated colonial currency. By restricting its use as legal tender for public and private debts, these measures contributed to a shortage of usable money in the colonies, where gold and silver coinage was scarce and foreign coins such as the Spanish dollar circulated widely. When war broke out, the colonies were freed from these monetary restrictions, allowing the Continental Congress to issue paper currency to help finance the war effort. Individual states likewise issued their own currency, contributing to the rapid depreciation of both state and Continental money. The Constitution subsequently curtailed this practice: Article I, Section 10 prohibited states from coining money, emitting bills of credit, or making anything but gold and silver coin legal tender in payment of debts. Obtaining period paper currency from all 13 original colonies at an accessible price can be a considerable challenge, making this complete assemblage especially appealing to collectors of early American history.

“Justice for Traitors”— document recording the sale of Lafeyette’s property confiscated during the Reign of Terror 465. Marquis de Lafayette: “Justice for Traitors” Document Recording the Auction Sale of Lafayette’s Confiscated Property. Partly-printed DS in French, signed

“Le Clech,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 9.5 x 15.5, June 3, 1795. Document from the Department of Côtes-DuNorth, District of Guingamp, headed “Justice aux Traitres [Justice for Traitors],” documenting the auction sale of property confiscated from “Marie-Joseph-Paul-Yves-Roch-Gilbert du Molt[ier de] Lafayette, Emigré.” Marquis de Lafayette, the French hero of the American Revolution, became an “émigré,” or exile, during the French Revolution when he fled France to escape radical factions, only to be captured by Austrians and imprisoned for over five years (1792–1797) as a dangerous revolutionary. Declared a traitor during the Reign of Terror, Lafayette’s properties were confiscated and sold at public auction—leaving him in financial ruin upon his triumphant return to France. Napoleon Bonaparte restored Lafayette’s citizenship on March 1, 1800, and did succeed in recovering some of his properties. In small part (translated): “On the Thirteenth of the month of floreal at nine o’clock in the morning, we, Guillaume Le Grantec and Yves Pierre Tassel, Administrators of Guingamp District, went, accompanied by Citizen Vintorte, public prosecutor of

this District, to the Audience Room of the Directory, where, being there, the said public prosecutor announced that the reception of the first goods’ bids Sale designated below, indicated by the poster of the 27th of Germinal last, which was read, which poster was well and duly published and affixed in the places prescribed by law, according to the certificates attached thereto, of the Municipal Officers of the Communes where the goods are located, and of the chief towns of the Districts of the Department; The property consists of: A plot of land on a meadow called Prat au Pont Hallec, containing a total of two hundred and forty acres…The said property forms a single lot for auction, which, according to the Expert Commissioners’ report, dated the eighteenth of ventôse, Year II, was set at the sum of eight hundred and eighty livres.” The document goes on to outline the terms and conditions of the auction sale, including payment dates, leasehold rights, fees, and guarantees. It further notes that “the bids reached two thousand and twenty-five pounds, with Citizen Simon being the last bidder.” The property was thus awarded to Jean Simon, “subject to the terms, charges, and conditions set forth in the said minutes and prescribed by law, which the said Citizens Simon and Jegou declared they knew well and signed with us.” In fine condition, with some ink erosion affecting a few words of text.

469. Charleston Mercury ‘Extra’ Broadside from December 20, 1860, Announcing South Carolina’s Secession from the Union - “THE UNION IS DISSOLVED!”. Rare original broadside from the Charleston

Mercury newspaper, printed in Charleston, South Carolina, on December 20, 1860, 12.75 x 23.75, announcing South Carolina’s repeal of the Constitution of the United States and the state’s secession from the Union. The text reads, in full: “EXTRA: Passed unanimously at 1.15 o’clock, P.M., December 20th, 1860. AN ORDINANCE / To dissolve the Union between the State of South Carolina and other States united with her under the compact entitled ‘The Constitution of the United States of America.’ We, the People of the State of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, do declare and ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordained, That the Ordinance adopted by us in Convention, on the twenty-third day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eightyeight, whereby the Constitution of the United States of America was ratified, and also, all Acts and parts of Acts of the General Assembly of this State, ratifying amendments of the said Constitution, are hereby repealed; and that the union now subsisting between South Carolina and other States, under the name of ‘The United States of America,’ is hereby dissolved. THE UNION IS DISSOLVED!” Affixed to a slightly larger cardstock mount and in very good to fine condition, with repairs to edge tears and intersecting folds. Printed as an “Extra” edition of the Charleston Mercury, the nineteenth-century equivalent of a breaking news bulletin, this remarkable broadside announced one of the defining political events in American history. Shortly after South Carolina’s Secession Convention unanimously adopted the Ordinance of Secession at 1:15 p.m. on December 20, 1860, the Mercury rushed this special edition into print. The ordinance repealed South Carolina’s 1788 ratification of the United States Constitution, making it the first state to secede following Abraham Lincoln’s election the previous month and setting in motion the secession of ten additional Southern states, the formation of the Confederate States of America, and, less than four months later, the outbreak of the Civil War at nearby Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. According to the consignor, this example descended through the family of Philip Augustin Clayton, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury of the Confederate States of America, passing from his granddaughter, Mary Weems Clayton, to her son, Ronald Rogers of Atlanta, Georgia, who received it as a gift from his mother in the 1960s.

France’s last colonial governor of Louisiana hears of the impending U.S. acquisition 483. Napoleon: Pierre-Clément de Laussat Letter Signed on the Louisiana Purchase: “I have, however, learned—with every mark of probability—of the cession of Louisiana to the United States”. LS

in French, signed “Laussat,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 8 x 12.5, Republique Francaise, Marine Colonie Louisiane letterhead, 7 Vendémiaire, an 12 [September 30, 1803]. Letter to General Donatien de Rochambeau, Commander-in-Chief and Captain General of the Island of Saint-Domingue, remarking on the impending transfer of the territory of Louisiana to the United States. In full (translated): “My enclosed letter, General, is dated 1st Fructidor: On that day an excellent opportunity arose to write to the Minister of the Navy and the Colony, and I was very glad to take advantage of it to give him immediate informal notice of my response to your request. The extraordinary delay that, despite my orders and my efforts, the cutter La Terreur, carrying your dispatches, has taken to set sail again, while making numerous repairs and taking on supplies, without which it claimed it could not return to sea, led me to hope that in the meantime, I would receive from France news that might favor your interests. I even suspended the ship’s sailing for two days to see if the mail from North America, which arrives here overland every Thursday, might bring me some package yesterday: nothing reached me. I have, however, learned—with every mark of probability—of the cession of Louisiana to the United States; but I have, up to the present, neither order, nor instruction, nor official notice of any kind whatsoever. If the Cutter had been able to load flour, as I suggested, I would have taken it upon myself to send some to you: he declared he could not. Should the government authorize me to use my resources to come to your aid, I will immediately try to combine the necessary prudence with the most ardent and eager zeal; these resources, I repeat, General, are less than you thought. I have no doubt that my stay in this country will be decidedly very short. I have had enormous cause to complain about Commander Candon, Lieutenant Commander of the cutter La Terreur; these officers, with ridiculous pretensions, affected towards me—the most scandalous insubordination and the most indecent tone. If I had been in a less precarious position of authority, he would have forced me to take action against him, just as he forced me to report his conduct to the government. I have also learned that he is staying here and that, on his own initiative, he has passed command of the ship to his second-in-command, Commander Collinet, an Ensign of an unmaintained ship. This action, considered from all points, completes the picture of Commander Candon. I also acknowledge that Commander Collinet was far superior to him.” In fine condition, with

a seal-related tear to the left edge. Pierre Clément de Laussat writes at a moment of extraordinary geopolitical transition, remarking upon both his inability to furnish supplies to the embattled French forces in Saint-Domingue and the imminent transfer of Louisiana to the United States. Laussat’s communication to General Donatien-Marie-Joseph de Vimeur, Vicomte de Rochambeau—who was charged with suppressing the Haitian independence movement—underscores the dire scarcity of French resources in the Caribbean and the uncertain political atmosphere in New Orleans. “I have learned—with every mark of probability—of the cession of Louisiana to the United States,” he writes, “but I have, up to the present, neither order, nor instruction, nor official notice of any kind whatsoever.” His admission that he could send no flour and possessed only limited resources—“less than you thought”—illustrates the collapsing state of French colonial logistics in the Americas. The Louisiana Purchase Treaty had been signed months earlier, on April 30, 1803, but its terms remained closely guarded, and official news of the transaction traveled slowly through French military and administrative circles. At the time of this letter—just weeks before the U.S. Senate’s ratification of the deal—the prospective sale was still effectively a state secret. Napoleon Bonaparte’s decision to abandon his North American ambitions was shaped directly by the catastrophe unfolding in Haiti, where France was losing thousands of soldiers and exhausting its treasury in a failing attempt to suppress the revolution. With war in Europe newly resumed, the Royal Navy threatened to sever French supply lines entirely. Under these pressures, Napoleon resolved to sell Louisiana, raising funds while denying Britain a potential foothold. Laussat, who had arrived in Louisiana in March 1803 to oversee its transfer from Spain back to France, now found himself unexpectedly responsible for delivering the territory to the United States instead. Within three months of this letter, Louisiana would belong to the Americans, and Rochambeau—defeated at the Battle of Vertières on November 18th—would surrender his remaining forces in Saint-Domingue to the British rather than face destruction by the insurgent army. Despite holding only a fragile and temporary authority, Laussat acted as France’s final civil representative in Louisiana during this tumultuous period. Having heard rumors of the potential sale since his arrival, Laussat finally received official confirmation in August 1803, but no further instructions. His frustrations here with poor communication, the insubordination of the cutter La Terreur’s officers, and the lack of provisions available to support Rochambeau, capture the breakdown of French command in the region. Finally, on December 20, 1803, he presided over the formal ceremony transferring Louisiana to the United States, closing the brief and final chapter of French rule. A unique, historically important letter that offers a rare, firsthand view of the confusion, strain, and swift imperial recalculations that culminated in one of the most consequential land transactions in American history.

Large circa 1955 matte-finish 11.5 x 15.25 portrait photo of Pablo Picasso, picturing the artist holding a lit cigarette and wearing a V-neck knit sweater over a collared shirt and tie, signed and inscribed in the lower border in red crayon, “Pour Monsieur Pierre-Andre Weill, Picasso.” In fine condition, with some wear to the trimmed edges, and light dampstaining to the lower left.

The reverse of the photograph bears the stamp of noted French photographer Robert Doisneau, who photographed Picasso repeatedly during the early to mid-1950s, most notably

during a 1952 sitting at Vallauris commissioned by the magazine Point de Vue. The photograph’s recipient, Pierre-André Weill, and his wife, Lucie Weill, were fixtures of the postwar Paris gallery world.

498. Pablo Picasso Signed Photograph of His 1906 Painting, ‘Self-Portrait with Palette’. Paperstock 6 x 8.25 catalog or magazine

photo of Pablo Picasso’s 1906 painting, ‘Autoportrait à la palette’ (Self-Portrait with Palette), signed and inscribed in the lower border in blue ink, “Pour Cristina, Picasso, Le 17.6.55.” Affixed to an 8.25 x 10.5 cardstock mount and in fine condition, with trivial small creases and toning to edges. Picasso’s 1906 Autoportrait à la palette resides in the Philadelphia Museum of Art as part of the A. E. Gallatin Collection, received as a gift in 1950. The oil on canvas portrays the 25-year-old artist holding a palette in his left hand; preparatory drawings included a brush in his right, an element he omitted from the finished work. Earlier that year, Picasso had completed a smaller self-portrait, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, around the time he finished his celebrated portrait of Gertrude Stein; the Philadelphia canvas followed shortly after and may have been conceived as a pendant to the Stein portrait. The large ovoid eyes, heavy brows, and elongated ears characteristic of these works reflect Picasso’s engagement that year with ancient Iberian sculpture. Starting Bid $300

Literature “Tolstoy has been to visit me”—besieged by celebrities, Chekhov comments on his newfound fame 522. Anton Chekhov Autograph Letter Signed on The Seagull and His Newfound Fame: “Tolstoy has been to visit me”. ALS in

Russian, signed “A. Chekhov,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 8.25, April 27, [1899]. A rambling, witty handwritten letter to Capitolina Mikhailovna. Chekhov writes that he has recently returned to Moscow, where the weather “was warm, then cold again.” He has rented a new apartment, “taking it with the doubtful assumption that Isaac Naumovich will allow me to spend December and January in Moscow…There have been so many visitors, that I am nearly dead; on the second day of the holiday I was receiving the public from, eight in the morning until ten at night and got so exhausted that after ten I practically collapsed, stretched out on the sofa like a lifeless corpse. L N. Tolstoy has been to visit me, I have visited him and dined there…In short, I am besieged by celebrities like a virtuous maiden with angels while she sleeps. I have not seen my play [The Seagull] and shall not, but the actors who perform it, ‘the seagullers,’ visit me every day and I have even been photographed with them in a group…What am I doing in Moscow? I receive callers, I eat smoked ham, I buy furniture, new suits, hats, I go for walks; it would be thoroughly amusing if it wasn’t for the cold and the fact that I am drawn to Yalta. I will come there but not before June…Your telegram and letter both arrived, and I thank you. I send you a low bow, down to the ground. The trees in Moscow are not yet in bud, the sky is frigid-looking, everything is melancholy, letters from the south are especially welcome.” He chats about mutual friends, Professor Ostroumov, Kovalevsky, Potapenko, Urussov and Kika, and comments that if Nadezhda Alexandrovna has pleurisy, “she must have gotten it from Figner. Obviously, it’s much less dangerous to consort with literary men than with singers.” He speculates on doctors, and reports that he has “had a letter from an archbishop, asking for my photograph.” In fine condition. Written at a pivotal moment in Anton Chekhov’s career, this lively letter captures the author in Moscow amid the sudden celebrity that followed the triumphant revival of The Seagull at the Moscow Art Theatre. The play’s disastrous 1896 St. Petersburg premiere had deeply discouraged Chekhov, but Konstantin Stanislavsky’s celebrated 1898 production transformed its reputation and helped establish both the play and the fledgling theatre. Chekhov’s joking reference here to the actors as “the seagullers,” his refusal to see the production, and his bemusement at being photographed with the company reveal his characteristically ironic response to acclaim. His report of visits exchanged with Leo Tolstoy—and his quip that he is “besieged by celebrities”—likewise evokes the remarkable literary and artistic circle in which he now moved. The letter is equally revealing on a personal level. By 1899 Chekhov’s tuberculosis had made the warmer climate of Yalta increasingly necessary, and his comments about Moscow’s cold, his exhaustion from receiving visitors, and his longing for the south give the humor an unmistakable undertone of physical fragility. Yet the letter remains quintessentially Chekhovian: affectionate, observant, self-mocking, and crowded with literary friends, physicians, actors, and other figures from contemporary Russian cultural life. Its combination of references to Tolstoy, the Moscow Art Theatre, The Seagull, and Chekhov’s life between Moscow and Yalta makes it an unusually rich personal document. Starting Bid $1000

Mark Twain parodies the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam: a 45-page manuscript of wit, wine, and old age 523. Samuel Clemens Handwritten Draft Manuscript of His Satirical Poem ‘To the Above Old People’ - A Parody of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Hand-

written manuscript by Samuel Clemens, unsigned, 45 pages, 5.75 x 2.25, no date. Clemens drafts his satirical poem, ‘To the Above Old People’—an intentional parody and inversion of the famous Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám translated by Edward FitzGerald—writing out each quatrain on a separate slip of scrap paper, possibly so that they could be arranged and rearranged. Instead of romanticizing or philosophizing deep melancholy, epicurean indulgence, or the wine-soaked wisdom of old age, Twain pokes fun at the solemn advice given by elderly people. The poem was published in his 1900 collection The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg and Other Stories and Sketches.

It begins: “Sleep! for the Sun that scores another Day / Against the Tale allotted You to stay, / Reminding You, is Risen, and now / Serves Notice—ah, ignore it while You may! / The chill Wind blew, & those who stood before / The Tavern murmured, ‘Having drunk his Score, / Why tarries He with empty Cup? Behold, / The Wine of Youth once poured, is poured no more. / ‘Come, leave the Cup, & on the Winter’s Snow / Your Summer Garment of Enjoyment throw: / Your Tide of Life is ebbing fast, and it, / Exhausted once, for You no more shall flow.’ / While yet the Phantom of false Youth was mine, / I heard a Voice from out the Darkness whine, / ‘O Youth, O whither gone? Return, / And bathe my Age in thy reviving Wine.’”

This draft of the poem carries a few handwritten corrections and amendments, and differs slightly from the text as published. In overall fine condition. Housed in a custom-made full morocco case. This remarkable 45-page working manuscript offers a rare glimpse of Mark Twain’s creative process at the turn of the twentieth century, when he was increasingly using parody to puncture the moral certainty, sentimentality, and solemn philosophizing of his age. In “To the Above Old People,” Clemens takes as his target Edward FitzGerald’s enormously influential Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, whose meditations on mortality, vanished youth, and the fleeting pleasures of life had become a cultural phenomenon in the English-speaking world. Twain deliberately turns that elevated, melancholy mode on its head, recasting its imagery and cadence as a comic assault on the tiresome admonitions of old age. The manuscript is especially revealing because Clemens composed the poem quatrain by quatrain on individual scraps, a format that may have allowed him to shuffle, test, and refine their sequence, while the surviving corrections and textual differences document the poem before it reached its published form. More than a draft of a humorous poem, the manuscript captures Twain actively dismantling one of the era’s most recognizable literary styles, transforming a celebrated meditation on mortality into a characteristically irreverent meditation on aging.

“There is power in the printed word”— an autograph draft of Jack London’s early dystopian tale 534. Jack London Autograph Draft Manuscript Signed for A Curious Fragment: “There is power in the printed word”. AMS signed “Jack London, Oakland,

Calif., April 16, 1907,” 39 pages, 7.75 x 9.75, headed, “A Curious Fragment.” Remarkable 39-page handwritten manuscript draft of Jack London’s dystopian tale “A Curious Fragment,” a prophetic vision of class warfare, suppressed literacy, and the revolutionary power of the printed word. Set some six centuries in the future, London’s story imagines an authoritarian industrial society in which reading and writing have been deliberately “stamped out,” leaving oral “professional story tellers” to preserve forbidden histories. Composed in 1907, the same year as his celebrated dystopian novel The Iron Heel, “A Curious Fragment” develops many of London’s recurring concerns: oligarchic power, economic inequality, industrial exploitation, and the possibility of organized resistance. The story is framed as a surviving historical fragment from the 28th century, looking back upon “the fifth century of the terrible industrial oligarchy that was reared upon the ruins of the early Republic.” In this oppressive world, laborers—whom London pointedly calls “slaves”—are forbidden to read or write. The central episode recounts how a literate worker presents a petition of grievances to his employer in gruesomely symbolic fashion: accompanied by a severed arm lost in a factory accident at Hell’s Bottom. The tale culminates in an impassioned appeal by John Tourney to his fellow laborers: “There is power in the printed word.” He urges them to learn to read, promising that books—especially history books—will teach them about their masters and help

them acquire the strength necessary to overthrow oppression. London’s introductory note grimly records the consequence: on January 25, 2734, Tourney was sentenced to five years’ penal servitude in the borax mines of the Arizona Desert for spreading his message among the workers. The manuscript is bound in elaborately gilt-tooled morocco, top edge gilt, with the front board and first manuscript leaf detached; the manuscript itself is otherwise in very good condition, with edges trimmed closely by the binder. Provenance: L. H. Kauffman (bookplate); Willard S. Morse Collection, sold at Christie’s New York, May 20, 1988, lot 203. “A Curious Fragment” was first published in Town Topics on December 10, 1908, for which London received $100, and was later collected in When God Laughs and Other Stories (Macmillan, 1911). Scholars have compared its economic and social vision to Edward Bellamy’s Looking Backward, while recognizing London’s markedly more militant conception of historical change. As Eric S. Rabkin observed in Science Fiction: A Historical Anthology, the tale adopts fundamentally Marxist assumptions about economic conflict while retaining an optimism that distinguishes it from later dystopian works such as Brave New World. An exceptionally desirable working manuscript from one of America’s great literary figures, filled with London’s revisions and corrections and offering a vivid glimpse into the composition of one of his most provocative speculative stories.

“Monsieur Swann n’apprécierait pas beaucoup”—rare hand-corrected galley proof pages from Proust’s masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time 538. Marcel Proust HandCorrected Galley Proof Pages from In Search of Lost Time: “Monsieur Swann n’apprécierait pas beaucoup”. Six pages from the

galley proof for Marcel Proust’s ‘À l’ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs [In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower],’ the second volume of A La Recherche du Temps Perdu [In Search of Lost Time, or Remembrance of Things Past], 6 x 6.25 to 6 x 7.75, with a few corrections to two pages made in Proust’s own hand. The first five pages, irregularly paginated “132” and “134” through “137,” discuss Odette’s salon and her relationship with Madame Verdurin, beginning with Swann’s stipulation that Odette must cease visiting the “petit clan” after their marriage. On the first page “132,” Proust adds two handwritten marginal amendments: “Monsieur Swann n’apprécierait pas beaucoup que j’y fréquente et mon fidèle époux” and “elle se fit même prier des visited…qu’elle faisait des années à Odette et lui ait ainsi ôté la satisfaction de.” A later page, marked “311,” consists of two sections pasted together at the center, and carries reflections on Platonic pleasure in unattainable objects, belonging to the context of the narrator’s encounter with “petite Simonet.” In the upper right, Proust amends a line to begin: “Si le désir que tel jour.” In the left margin, he pens a slightly longer passage, ending: “il nous est impossible de la voir.” In overall very good to fine condition, with a tear to the bottom margin of page 132. The first proofs for ‘À l’ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs’ were printed for Grasset in 1914, but World War I delayed the publication. Proust took this opportunity to correct his text—reworking it by literally cutting and pasting, crossing out proper names and entire sentences, and hand-writing various corrections in the margins. Critic Pierre Clarac observes that Proust modified his manuscript ‘into an extraordinary marquetry where large autograph fragments alternate with proofs, corrected or not, some of which date back to 1914 and others of which were established with a view to the publication of 1918.’ The book finally debuted in June 1919, published by Gallimard, and it was awarded the prestigious Prix Goncourt that December.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s extensively annotated and signed revised ending to Wind, Sand and Stars 541. Antoine de Saint-Exupery Hand-Annotated and Signed Typescript Draft for Wind, Sand and Stars. Extraordinary signed and exten-

sively hand-corrected carbon typescript by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry for the revised final chapter of Terre des Hommes [Wind, Sand and Stars], comprising 43 pages in French, 8.25 x 10.5, circa 1941. The typescript contains numerous deletions, additions, and emendations in Saint-Exupéry’s hand, with the author also repaginating the manuscript in red pencil and signing in full, “Antoine de Saint-Exupery,” at the conclusion of the final page. The cover sheet carries Saint-Exupéry’s remarkable one-page autograph transmittal note in red pencil, headed “Nouvelle fin du livre [New ending of the book],” in part (translated): “Page 1 is the last page of the chapter on Spain, but the last paragraph of which is changed to tie it into what follows. Page 39 is the link with the old last chapter of the book, but this page 39 is also changed out of the need to tie it into what follows. Finally, page 43 (end) contains an added final line (which might be set off sufficiently from what precedes and printed in italics?).”

Saint-Exupery makes his handwritten corrections to fourteen pages of the manuscript, totaling well over 100 words. Includes an ALS by his translator, Lewis Galantière, April 9, 1941, providing an English translation of Saint-Exupéry’s note and further explaining the relationship between the revised French text and the American edition. Galantière writes in part: “I have not compared the material with W.S.&S. but I believe our ‘end of the book’ is bigger than this, i.e. that I retained matter which Saint Ex discarded for Terre des Hommes.” In fine condition, with the ink stamp of the A.F.G. Literary Agency of New York on the first page, and some marginal fraying and soiling. In very good condition, with expected handling wear, scattered soiling, and some marginal fraying. A superb working manuscript documenting Saint-Exupéry’s substantial revision of the concluding chapter of one of his greatest books. First published in 1939, Terre des Hommes—issued in English as Wind, Sand and Stars—drew heavily upon Saint-Exupéry’s experiences as a pioneering airmail pilot, including his near-fatal 1935 crash in the Sahara during an attempted Paris-to-Saigon record flight. Blending autobiography, aviation adventure, and philosophical meditation, the book examines courage, friendship, mortality, and humanity’s place in the world. This revised conclusion was prepared for the subsequent edition published by Reynal & Hitchcock in the United States and Gallimard in France. Galantière’s accompanying letter is particularly significant, not only providing a contemporary translation of Saint-Exupéry’s transmittal note, but also recording differences between the French text and the version prepared for American readers. Saint-Exupéry manuscript material relating to his major literary works is exceptionally scarce, and this extensive, signed working typescript—preserving dozens of the author’s direct revisions to the ending of Wind, Sand and Stars—represents an important literary manuscript from the author of The Little Prince.

A ‘lost’ Steinbeck short story— the manuscript for his unpublished experimental tale, ‘Pi Root’ 544. John Steinbeck Handwritten Manuscript for the Unpublished Experimental Short Story, ‘Pi Root’.

Remarkable handwritten manuscript by John Steinbeck for his unpublished short story “π√” [“Pi Root”], unsigned, 34 pages, 8 x 12.5, no date but circa 1956. “Pi Root” centers on Mrs. Peter Ives Root of Peconic, Long Island, who in June 1955 petitions Judge Martin to have her husband declared legally dead after he entered a rocket and blasted off into the sky. It begins: “On June 15, 1955 in the village of Peconic, Long Island, Mrs. Peter Ives Root petitioned the ? court to declare her husband Peter I. Root 2nd legally dead. (Peconic Intelligencer, 6/15/55, p. 3, col. 4). Mrs. Root deposed that on September 1, 1954, at 12 o’clock noon, Peter Root climbed into the control seat of a rocket propelled vehicle of his own making, and in the presence of at least 1200 witnesses, pressed an activation switch, whereupon the rocket rose on a blast of fire and rapidly disappeared into the sky.” The story unfolds through letters and interviews. Mrs. Root argues her case so that her husband’s estate can enter probate, followed by an interview with Joseph Blanding, president of the Peconic Savings Bank, regarding Peter Root’s finances. The final section, pages 23–34, is presented as a transcribed “taped” interview with a Peconic grade-school teacher discussing Root’s education. In overall fine condition. Housed in a

custom-made quarter-leather clamshell case. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from bookseller John F. Fleming, who states that the manuscript “was purchased by me from the estate of Elizabeth Otis who was Steinbeck’s literary agent.” Steinbeck began “Pi Root” in February 1956. In a March 7, 1956 letter to Otis, he noted that work had been interrupted by other ideas, including a “long short story in the form of an historical report” titled “All Your Houses.” He nevertheless completed “Pi Root” and sent it to Otis. It seems that the title was never firmly settled: Steinbeck headed the first page with the mathematical symbols “π√,” while Otis referred to the piece as “Peter Root Legally Dead.” The story was never published and remained with Otis until its acquisition by Fleming. Interestingly, the title also recalls Steinbeck’s novel Sweet Thursday (1954), in which Joe Elegant is writing a gothic novel called “Pi Root of Oedipus.” This manuscript suggests Steinbeck revisited the conceit two years later, developing it into an eccentric tale of disappearance, bureaucracy, and legal absurdity. A fascinating unpublished work from the Nobel Prize-winning author, offering a rare glimpse into Steinbeck’s creative process and his experimentation with epistolary, documentary, and satirical narrative forms.

In very good to fine condition, with light wrinkling to the textblock and sunning to the spine. The Life and Death of King John is one of Shakespeare’s English history plays, dramatizing the turbulent reign of King John. Shakespeare drew principally upon the 1587 edition of Holinshed’s Chronicles, and the play is also closely associated with the anonymous The Troublesome Reign of John, King of England, first published in the late 16th century. Notably, King John is one of only two Shakespeare plays written entirely in verse, the other being Richard II. This copy is distinguished by its fine binding by the celebrated British bookbinder Bernard C. Middleton (1924–2019), one of the most respected book craftsmen and historians of the modern era. Middleton trained at London’s Central School of Arts and Crafts and worked at the British Museum bindery before managing the prestigious firm of Zaehnsdorf and later establishing his own practice. An influential scholar of historical bookbinding as well as a master binder, he produced important designer bindings and undertook commissions for prominent collectors, libraries, and academic institutions. Middleton was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and was appointed MBE in 1986 for his contributions to bookbinding. Starting Bid $300

It was a great pleasure to read the kind things you said about my work, when there was so much that interested me in the article as a whole. It further proves a theory of mine that American critics are much more on the alert at present than English. You ask me about a critical article for your September number. I am writing two, one on De Quincey which will appear in the Times Literary Supplement in August or September; the other on How should one read a book? which will be published by the Hogarth Press in October. If either would interest you, please let me know, and I will try to arrange for more or less simultaneous publication.” Nicely double-matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 15 x 13. In fine condition. Woolf’s correspondent was Helen McAfee, then assistant editor of the Yale Review under founding editor Wilbur Cross and later the journal’s managing editor. Their correspondence continued for at least a decade, encompassing Woolf’s 1932 essay ‘Letter to a Young Poet,’ among other contributions. Here, Woolf offers McAfee two essays then in progress: one on Thomas De Quincey, published several months later in the Times Literary Supplement as ‘Impassioned Prose’ (16 September 1926), and ‘How should one read a book?,’ which appeared in the Yale Review on September 1, 1926, and was later revised as the concluding essay of The Common Reader: Second Series (1932).

Pre-Beatlemania signatures obtained outside the Royal Pier Hotel in Great Yarmouth during the summer of 1963 570. Beatles Signatures - Obtained Outside the Royal Pier Hotel in Great Yarmouth (1963). Vintage 1963 ballpoint

signatures of the Beatles — “George Harrison, xx,” “Ringo Starr, xxx,” “John Lennon, xxx,” and “Paul McCartney, xxx” — on an off-white 4 x 5.25 notebook page. The consignor notes that the autographs were obtained outside the Royal Pier Hotel in Great Yarmouth, England, when the Beatles were in the town to perform at ABC Cinema on June 30th or July 28th, 1963. In fine condition, with horizontal folds, and slight show-through from an autograph on the reverse. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the original recipient: ‘On holiday with my parents, brother and his best friend in 1963 we were lucky to have tickets for The Beatles concert. I can’t remember any music – just screaming! Amazing first concert ‘pop’ for the three of us. Staying in a small B&B we noticed a very posh Jaguar at big hotel nearby… Investigating, we saw all four Beatles having dinner in the front window which they kindly opened to sign autographs for us. Next morning we saw them leaving the hotel and they took time to chat and sign for us again. Such lovely memories and we’re still Beatles fans!” The Beatles’ only two appearances at the ABC Cinema in Great Yarmouth took place in 1963, on June 30th and July 28th, each consisting of two houses at 6 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. These appearances formed part of the British seaside ‘summer season,’ a longstanding entertainment tradition in which performers played one- or two-night engagements in popular holiday resorts. The Beatles had concluded their package tour with Roy Orbison on June 9th, shortly before the first of these two dates, by which point Please Please Me had already topped the UK charts and ‘From Me to You’ had become the band’s first number-one single on the official UK Singles Chart. Both appearances came just before the term ‘Beatlemania’ entered the popular press in October 1963, capturing the Beatles at the moment their extraordinary popularity was erupting into a national phenomenon. If the earlier date applies, the signatures were obtained on the eve of one of the Beatles’ most consequential recording sessions. After completing their second performance at Great Yarmouth on June 30th, the group drove overnight to EMI Studios in London, where they recorded ‘She Loves You’ on July 1st, a song that became the best-selling UK single of the 1960s. If the later date applies instead, the signatures were obtained just two days before sessions for ‘Please Mister Postman’ and ‘It Won’t Be Long,’ recorded for the Beatles’ second album, With the Beatles, released that November.

In fine condition, with ownership notations to the upper left. The record is not included.

She and a friend worked out where each of the Beatles lived – they were still living at home at the time – and just went there and knocked on the door. At George’s his mother opened the door and took the sleeve inside and George signed it. Janet has added her then address on the top left hand corner of the sleeve which is now just legible. The girls couldn’t find Ringo’s house and they weren’t successful at either John or Paul’s homes.” Released in the United Kingdom on July 12, 1963, Twist and Shout was the Beatles’ first EP and one of the format’s earliest commercial landmarks. Featuring four songs from their debut album, Please Please Me — ‘Twist and Shout,’ ‘A Taste of Honey,’ ‘Do You Want to Know a Secret,’ and ‘There’s a Place’ — the EP capitalized on Beatlemania at a pivotal moment in the band’s rise to fame. It spent 21 weeks atop the British EP chart and ultimately sold more than 650,000 copies, making it the best-selling EP in UK chart history to that point. Starting Bid $300

Smith, author of Rickenbacker: The History of the Rickenbacker Guitar, commenting on the use of his 1963 Rickenbacker 360/12 electric guitar. In full: “The Rickenbacker 12 string is a well designed guitar and I particularly liked the layout of it[s] 12 machine heads. Along with its bright sound this guitar contributed a lot to the music of The Beatles and the 1960’s. In fact I have used it recently on my new album and it still sounds terrific.” On the front, Smith writes to Rogan on June 3, 1987, in part: “Here is a copy of the book…As you can tell, we’re still fixing things. Let me know what you think and if you have any luck with George…Enclosed is an original print of John’s Model 325/12 from 1964 & a new Rick catalog.” Includes full letters of authenticity from REAL and Beatles experts Perry Cox and Frank Caiazzo, in part: “This is a fabulous note written by George, with his rarely expressed thoughts on an iconic guitar that had an impact not only on The Beatles’ music, but also the music of many other bands and artists.” Also included is the referenced original vintage photo of John Lennon’s 1964 Rickenbacker twelve-string, an original 1964 print sent by the family of F. C. Hall (Rickenbacker owner) to Smith. Harrison’s note and all of the accompaniments are framed together to an overall size of 41.5 x 17.

The Beatles played a crucial role in popularizing Rickenbacker guitars during the 1960s, especially through John Lennon and George Harrison’s use of them.

Originally from the collection of Alan Rogan (1951–2019), a noted English guitar tech known for his work with Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Joe Walsh, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and Tom Petty. When Harrison was recording Cloud Nine, Rogan helped him tune up his old 12-string Rickenbacker, which can be heard on the track ‘Fish on the Sand.’ Starting Bid $300

John Lennon and Yoko Ono at Cannes in 1971— signed during the festival where they presented their avant-garde films Apotheosis and Fly

585. Beatles: John Lennon and Yoko Ono Signed Photograph. Vintage semi-glossy 6.75 x 5.5 postcard

photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival, signed in red felt tip, “John Lennon,” and in blue felt tip, “Yoko Ono Lennon.” In very fine condition.

Contemporary reports from Cannes recorded sharply contrasting reactions: Apotheosis drew catcalls, while Fly was greeted with applause. Pleased that the films had found an audience at the festival, Lennon remarked to reporters that otherwise they would only be seen at home.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono attended the Cannes Film Festival in May 1971 to present their avant-garde short films Apotheosis and Fly. The seventeen-minute Apotheosis follows the ascent of a hot-air balloon above the Suffolk village of Lavenham, opening with Lennon and Ono in dark cloaks and hoods before the balloon rises into the clouds. The 25-minute Fly, starring Virginia Lust as its sole credited performer, consists largely of close-up footage of a housefly crawling across a nude woman’s body, with additional flies appearing as the film progresses.

Originates from the collection of Yanou Collart, a Belgian-born French publicist who became a prominent facilitator for international celebrities in Paris. Collart began working with Lennon and Ono in 1969, when EMI Records entrusted her with distributing their ‘WAR IS OVER! If You Want It’ posters in France, and she later produced Ono’s bed-in exhibition in Paris.

The band members were Paul & Linda McCartney, George Martin, Eric Stewart & Ringo. The actor John Hurt played the parts of a Brian Epstein type character. Around 600 members of the Wings Fun Club were invited to participate playing the role of a live concert audience. My brother was a member of the Wings Fun Club and he got the invite with me attending as well. The video shoot took place on 23 June. After the shoots the musicians stayed around so that fans could get autographs, although Ringo & Mrs Barbara Bach left early. I personally obtained the autographs of Linda McCartney (who was lovely and stayed until the last fans left), George Martin & Eric Stewart. Unfortunately Paul McCartney was tired and retired to his trailer before many of the fans could get his autograph, myself included. So the crew took items from those unable to get Paul to sign, and had him sign later and mailed it back that’s why my address is on the reverse of the postcard.” Starting Bid $200

Conditions of Sale ANYONE EITHER REGISTERING TO BID OR PLACING A BID (“BIDDER”) ACCEPTS THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND ENTERS INTO A LEGALLY, BINDING, ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT WITH R&R AUCTION COMPANY OF MASSACHUSETTS, LLC (“RR AUCTION”) TOGETHER WITH BIDDER, THE “PARTIES”). This Agreement contains important provisions that control rights and liabilities, and specifically has provisions governing how disputes are handled as well as LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY that can be imposed upon RR Auction, WAIVER OF JURY and ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. The following terms and conditions (“Conditions of Sale”) constitute the sole terms and conditions under which RR Auction will offer for sale and sell the property on its website, and/or described in the catalog of items for auction (the “Catalog”). These Conditions of Sale constitute a binding agreement between the Parties with respect to the auction in which Bidder participates (the “Auction”). By bidding at the Auction, whether in person, through an agent or representative, by telephone, facsimile, online, absentee bid, or by any other form of bid or by any other means, Bidder acknowledges the thorough reading and understanding of all of these Conditions of Sale, all descriptions of items in the Catalog, and all matters incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be fully bound thereby.

Section 1 The Parties1.1 RR Auction and Auction This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.RRauction. com Internet site. The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog. 1.2 Bidder Bidder shall mean the original Bidder on the property offered for sale by RR Auction and not any subsequent owner or other person who may acquire or have acquired an interest therein. If Bidder is an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to RR Auction prior to the time of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed principal. The rights granted to Bidder under these Conditions of Sale are personal and may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise without the express written assent of RR Auction. Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey these Conditions of Sale or any of the rights herein, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred on any Bidder by these Conditions of Sale, and no third party is intended as a beneficiary of these Conditions of Sale. Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent or legal guardian’s written consent containing an acknowledgment of the Conditions of Sale herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder. All Bidders must meet RR Auction’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of RR Auction may be disqualified at RR Auction’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by RR Auction in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to exclude any person from the Auction. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid and

agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale in addition to company for whom the Bidder is acting By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. Section 2 Bidding Privileges 2.1 In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established an account with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should pre-register before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Privileges will be granted at the sole discretion of RR Auction. Additionally, Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide a cash deposit prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue. 2.2 Bidder providing any false or misleading information provided in connection with the registration shall be a material breach of the Conditions of Sale and in addition to any other remedies at law shall excuse RR Auction from performance under these Conditions of Sale, including the right to any refund. 2.3 Bidding privileges may be revoked without notice, for any reason, at the sole discretion of RR Auction . Section 3 Buyer’s Premium 3.1 The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed and live Auctions. . For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is earlier. Bidder’s failure to pay any payment in full when due required shall constitute a material breach, and in addition to other damages available under contract or law, at RR Auction’s election, RR Auction may cancel the sale and require full premium still be due along with interest at 1.5% per month from the date of breach, or at the maximum legally allowable rate. Section 4 Bidding 4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. 4.2 RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot,

even if the Bidder has made a mistake. 4.3 All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder. 4.4 Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder and Bidder has fully satisfied any outstanding financial obligations to RR Auction (including as it concerns any other lots). RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder. 4.5 It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all risk of loss upon the earlier of shipment to Bidder or in Bidder’s possession. 4.6 Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction a lien consisting of a senior security interest (or purchase money security interest to the extent applicable) in such sums or items to the fullest extent applicable, authorizes RR Auction to file documents concerning the interest, and Bidder agrees to execute any further documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued fees and expenses, until the indebtedness is paid. 4.7 By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. The authorized representative of any corporate Bidder who is present at the sale shall provide RR Auction or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by a principal, director or officer that they he or she personally and unconditionally guarantees any payment due RR Auction. 4.8 RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders. Section 5 Bidding Options 5.1 Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid. 5.2 When identical bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at RR Auction’s place of business at least twenty-four (24) hours before the Auction start. RR Auction is not responsible for executing mail bids or facsimile bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is RR Auction responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins. 5.3 In all Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%, or as specified on a per-Auction basis. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction. 5.4 RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale,

or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive. Section 6 Payment 6.1 Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than sixty (60) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder. 6.2 Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot. 6.3 All sales for total invoices greater than $1,000 are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements. 6.4 All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks. 6.5 In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Bidder attempts to pay via check and the financial institution denies the transfer from Bidder’s bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Bidder agrees to complete payment. 6.7 If RR Auction refers any unpaid invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay and shall be liable for RR Auction’s attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction in addition to the invoice amount and interest the greater of 1.5% per month or at the maximum legally allowable rate from date of invoice to collection. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys. 6.8 RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder (as well as to the extent it is a consignor any other monies owed or due to Bidder) to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bid-

der’s property in their possession. 6.9 All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. RR Auction clients with an invoice totaling $1,000 or under will have the option to pay by VISA, Mastercard, Discover or Paypal. All Paypal payments must be sent to FinanceDepartment@rrauction.com. Authorize.net, a third-party service provider contracted by RR Auction for processing on-line payments, charges a nonrefundable service fee of 3%, which will be added to your final invoice should you pay by credit/debit card.

Section 10 Rights Reserved RR Auction reserves the right, at any time before, during or after an auction has ended to: withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, cancel any bid, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason. RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal, cancellation, or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone at any time.

Each state has different requirements to meet nexus. When RR Auction has achieved a certain monetary and/or invoice threshold in each state we will apply sales tax to your total invoice. The states that are affected are: ARIZONA, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEBRASKA, NEVADA, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, NORTH CAROLINA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, PENNSYLVANIA,RHODE ISLAND, TENNESSEE, TEXAS, UTAH, VIRGINIA, WASHINGTON, WISCONSIN

11.1 RR Auction reserves the right to postpone the Auction or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages.

If we have not achieved nexus in a particular state it is still your responsibility to pay sales tax on your purchases. The sales tax rate is determined by the State, Country, and City where purchases are shipped to. If you decide to pick up your purchases at our New Hampshire location you will not be required to pay sales tax. The State of New Hampshire does not have a general sales and use tax. All purchases picked up at our Massachusetts location will be taxed at the current rate of 6.25%. If you have a resale number please email Sue@RRAuction.com or fax to (603) 732-4288 a copy of your state resale certificate and you will be exempt from paying sales tax. Section 8 Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges Bidder is liable for shipping and handling and providing accurate information as to shipping or delivery locations and arranging for such. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs. Bidder agrees that service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction. Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs. All duties, customs, and any other import charges are the responsibility of the bidder.

Section 9 Title Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices of Bidder (including those pertaining to the item(s) at issue) and amounts owed to RR Auction are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

11.2 RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auctions record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale. 11.3 Reserves Lots may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. RR Auction may, from time to time, bid on items that it does not own. RR Auction may execute bids consecutively or otherwise up to one bid increment below the reserve. 11.4 Off-Site Bidding Bidding by telephone, facsimile, online, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form. 11.5 Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 732-4280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance. Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading). 11.6 Owned or Guaranteed Property: RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at public auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction. 11.7 Before the Auction: Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale. Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment. 11.8 Maximum Bids In All Auctions:

To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, non-incremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under Bidder’s bid. 11.9 Successful Bids: The fall of RR Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will record the paddle number of the Bidder. If Bidder’s salesroom or absentee bid is successful, Bidder will be notified after the sale by mailed or emailed invoice. 11.10 Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers. 11.11 Bidding in Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”). The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion. 11.12 Bidding - Internet Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR

Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. During live internet or live auction, property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid or bids (successively or otherwise) on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. All auctions for lots are with reserve unless specifically stated otherwise. During live Auctions, internet bids can be placed in real time through one or more of the following Third Party services: www.liveauctioneers.com, www.invaluable.com and www.icollector.com. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. RR Auction treats any third-party site bids as floor or telephone bids. Floor bids and telephone bids are always considered first over third party sites bids, and floor bids are considered earlier than telephone bids. All RR Auction lots purchased through the third-party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium. 11.13 Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with ”do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available. 11.14 Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety. Section 12 RR Auction’s Remedies Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of material breach or default. In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies. Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and

all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Section 13 Warranties 13.1 RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold ”as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) related to the item, or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title. 13.2 All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices. 13.3 Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly. 13.4 All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auction, the certification is only as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage and only as explicitly stated therein (the “AC”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The AC inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the AC and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. Section 14 Firearms RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm.

Section 15 Unauthorized Statements Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed Bidder and by an authorized officer of RR Auction by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction. Section 16 Bidder’s Remedies 16.1 Except as stated expressly herein, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy related to or pertaining to items it bids upon, views, or purchases from RR Auction, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title or value, shall be against Consignor only. 16.2 This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, officers, managers, employees or agents), or in any way arising out of, related to, or in connection with these Conditions of Sale, , and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. Time is of the essence with respect to these procedures. 16.3 Title to Items The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, satisfactory to the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction may make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to RR Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand (if any made), RR Auction may disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and may assign to Bidder all or some of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and/or assignment, all responsibility and liability of RR Auction, if any, with respect to said lot or item shall automatically terminate related to or arising from these Conditions of Sale or such transaction operating as a complete waiver and general release by Bidder as to RR Auction and its agents, contractors, and affiliates, as to any and all claims concerning or related to the item, if any . RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction by Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances. 16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process (1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within 30 days of the Auction Date, Bidder must present written evidence to RR Auction, that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auction within its discretion) and send the physical item or lot at issue to RR Auction along with all evidence relied upon by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy in the between the description, genuiness, or attribution of the item as represented by RR Auction in the Catalog or at the auction, and the item. If RR Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as

was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If RR Auction does not agree with the assertion by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate suit or claim.

acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

(2) So long as Bidder has complied with the Authenticity Challenge Process, any claim, suit or action, by Bidder concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity, or related to the authenticity of the item must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Auction Date and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

16.5 Other Issues. Any dispute or claim by Bidder against RR Auction (or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors)) other than Authenticity, concerning any item or lot bid upon, or purchased, including value, title, condition, bidding process, or description must be asserted (if at all) in the following manner: (1) If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially or grossly incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), or there is any other gross material issue pertaining to the item or lot, the item or lot may be returned if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date with explanation in writing.. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and a certificate of auction, then the description in the certificate of auction (“Lot Challenge Process”). This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received by RR Auction within the period of time stated herein or not materially or grossly in deviation from the description. Such a refund is subject to RR Auction’s sole discretionary review, and any request for refund must be made concurrently with returning the physical item or lot to RR Auction. Any item not returned within said frame will constitute acceptance of the item and a waiver and release of any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and (2) Provided that the Bidder has engaged in the Lot Challenge Process, any claim concerning such must be brought no later than one (1) year of the Auction Date for the item or lot at issue and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale. NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED OR PROVIDED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BIDDERS OR AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SUCH SHALL BE A COMPLETE DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIMS BY BIDDER RELATED TO THE CONDITIONS OF SALE, ANY AUCTION OR BID. 16.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. For any and all claims by Bidder arising out of or related to this Agreement, Bidder’s viewing, bid, or purchase of items, or any agreement between the Parties, or otherwise, Bidder agrees that to the fullest extent such can be limited under the law, Bidder shall have no right to recover and hereby waives any and all rights to recover from against RR Auction or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits damages, punitive, exemplary, statutory (or multiplier damages), physical or emotional distress damages, general or special damages of any kind (beyond amounts actually paid by Bidder for item(s) at issue), and in the event of recovery of any damages whatsoever, such shall be limited by the amounts actually paid by Bidder to RR Auction for the item(s) at issue in such claim, or if no money was paid to RR Auction by Bidder for items at issue, or there items are at issue, the amount of $150.00.

Section 22 Glossary of Condition terms Information provided to prospective Bidders with respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by RR Auction. Use of the following terms constitutes an opinion as follows: VERY FINE describes an item believed to be in virtually flawless condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance. FINE is the most common statement of condition, and applies to most items that we offer. It describes items that we believe to show expected handling wear, generally acceptable random flaws (such as light creases, small bends, etc.), and an overall appearance that is pleasing to the majority of collectors. VERY GOOD describes an item that we believe exhibits more moderate flaws (such as toning, light staining, professional reinforcements or repairs, etc.). Most collectors would be comfortable with items in very good condition, and this would be the expected condition for many formats (early presidential documents, for example). GOOD describes an item which we believe to have obvious visible flaws, including heavy wear, missing portions, or repairs that affect appearance; generally items in this condition are offered only if an item is otherwise believed to be exceedingly rare or important. Bidder may call and request further details and information about RR Auction’s opinions concerning any item via phone or email which shall provided in RR Auction’s discretion. Certificate of Auction, Certificate of Authenticity and Goods Acquired: Bidder warrants that Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall not purposely deface, destroy, dismember, cut-up into parts the item or Lot purchased at auction from RR Auction and in the event such shall occur whether purposefully or accidently, Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall refrain from advertising, promoting, or marketing the item as having been purchased from RR Auction and shall in no event display, expressly claim, or imply that the item was certified or auctioned in such state by RR Auction. As liquidated damages for such breach, Bidder agrees to be liable to RR Auction for the greater of the amount of three (3) times the hammer price of the item along with all other fees and costs as otherwise provided in this Terms of Sale.
