WERNER OF NEW YORK CITY ON MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, AND TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 26TH AND 27TH, I923 AT 213 O O’CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOONS AND 8115 IN THE EVENING THE SALE TO BE CONDUCTED BY MR. THOMAS E. KIRBY AND HIS ASSISTANTS, OF THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, Managers NEW YORK CITYBIOLOGY LlbRARY THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION DESIGNS ITS CATALOGUES AND DIRECTS ALL DETAILS OF ILLUSTRATION TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHYConditions of Sale 1. Rejection of Bids. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 2. The Buyer. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for resale the lot so in dispute. 3. Identification and Part Payment by Buyer. The name of the buyer of each lot shall be given immediately on the sale thereof and, when so required, each buyer shall sign a card giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. Payment at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the purchase prices as may be required. If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so purchased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and resold. 4. Risk after Purchase. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer and thereafter neither the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss or any damage to any article occasioned by theft, fire, breakage or any cause. 5. Delivery of Purchases. Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. Deliveries will be made at the place of sale or at the storage warehouse to which purchases may have been removed. Deliveries at the American Art Galleries will be made only between the hours of nine a. m. and one p. m. on sales’ days and on other days—except holidays, when no deliveries will be made—between the hours of nine a. m. and five p. m. Deliveries at places of sale other than the American Art Galleries will be made only during the forenoon following the day of sale unless by special notice or arrangement to the contrary. Deliveries at the Storage warehouse to which goods may have been sent will be made on any day other than holidays between the hours of nine and five. Deliveries of any purchases of small articles likely to be lost or mislaid may be made at the discretion of the auctioneer during the session of the sale at which they were sold. 6. Storage in Default of Prompt Payment and Calling for Goods. Articles not paid for in full and either not called for by the purchaser or delivered upon his or her order by noon of the day following that of the sale will be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage will be charged against the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will be upon the purchaser. Note: The limited space of the Delivery Rooms of the Association makes the above require- ments necessary, and it is not alone for the benefit of the Association, but also for that of its pa- trons, whose goods otherwise would have to be so crowded as to be subject to damage and loss. 7. Shipping. Boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association for purchasers. The Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 8. Guaranty. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly and endeavours therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, defect or imperfec- tion, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or imperfection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold “as is” and without recourse. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the Association will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 9. Buying on Order. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale except that in the event of purchases consisting of one or more books for one who has not himself or through his agent been personally at the exhibition or sale, any book may be re- turned within ten days of the date of sale and the purchaser will be refunded the purchase money therefor, if the book in any material manner differs from its catalogue description. Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volume or piece should be also stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit should be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. Priced copies of the catalogue of any sale or any session thereof will be furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copying the necessary information from the records of the Association.

Clean and perfect as to plates and text.^B sui^Hle and handsome russia bindings. A few plates and three title-pages of plates have been backed with linen for preservation and to press out the creases in two or three margins, and there are a few insignificant marginal repairs, but aside from this the entire work is practically as fresh as when issued. The “Turkey” plates, which Miss Audubonj^R’s are nearly always “butchered,” have the quarter of an infch of margins that they always had; these two plates and a few others not being on guards are stitched directly into the binding to avoid trim- ming; the other plates guardea on their own margins, which is most unusual as the margins are usually trimmed tcffl^Bely to allowfbf this being done. JjDie Turkey” plates measure 38^ by 25^ inches; the hinged plates, 38^ inches by 24inches; text 10% by 8pi inches, whichiBinusually tall. Subscriber’s and Author’s Presentation Copy, originally owned by George Cheyne Shattuck, M.D.of Boston (died 1854), with Audubon’s autograph inscription on fly-leaf of Vol. I of th jtlkt, reading,—“WithJ. J. Audubon’s respectful compliments to Geo. C. Shattuck, M. D.”; also autograph signature, “Shattuck,” on title-page of Hfal. IV of the text. Dr. Shattuck was an intimate friend of Audubon and spent much time with him. He went abroad with him at the time of the production of the famous elephant folio ec^Bn of the “Birds,” and gave him great moral and financial [ContinuedThe J. L. Childs Natural History Library First Session, Monday Afternoon, March 26th [No. 36. Audubon (John James.).—Continued] support which counted for much in bringing to a successful conclusion this splendid work. As an Expression of Gratitude the Present Copy Was Chosen and Colored for Dr. Shattuck under Mr. Audubon’s Personal Supervision; each of the 435 Mammoth Plates, all with Extra Wide Margins, Having been Specially Selected for This Copy. The set of plates, together with the Presen- tation Copy of the text, has been preserved in perfect condition and practically with- out a blemish in Dr. Shattuck’s family until a few years ago, when this, the Most Superb Copy of Audubon’s “Birds of America” in Existence, passed from the possession of his descendants to Mr. Childs. Sabin in his “Dictionary of Books relating to America” says of this work,— “First issued in eighty-seven parts; and one of the most sumptuous ornithological works ever published; the coloring of the plumage, and the exact drawing of the birds, can scarcely be surpassed. The birds are represented in action amid the scenes, or on the plants and trees, most common to their habits, presenting a variety of land and marine views of floral and other productions of different cli- mates and seasons. Its great dimensions have permitted eagles and other birds of the largest size to be represented of their natural size, and even in groups. ‘All is combined to ally,’ says Brunet, ‘in the most happy manner, the exactness of individual details with a living and animated representations of general forms.’ The plates were published without any text to avoid the necessity of furnishing copies gratis to the public libraries in England, agreeable to the law of copyright. Triibner p. 174, quotes the work with plain plates. I have never seen one in that condition. Owing to the destruction by fire of the stock and copperplates the work has become extremely rare, and even small sections com- mand high prices.” Only 169 complete sets of this edition are now known to be in existence. Miss Audubon, the grand-daughter of the famous naturalist, has compiled a list of existing sets of this great work. Prior to the San Francisco, Baltimore and New York State Library fires, 176 sets only were in existence, all but a few of which were located in the large public libraries of the world. These fires are known to have destroyed at least seven sets, reducing the number now in existence to 169, and reducing the sets outside of those permanently located in public libraries by three sets. A well known bookseller, who has handled and examined more sets of Audubon’s work than any other living man, says of the present copy; “It is so far superior to all other copies I have seen as to bear no comparison.” (For a special note on this par- ticular copy, see “The Warbler,” Second Series, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 3.) Each volume contains one of Mr. Childs hand-painted bookplates, as follows,— Plates: (I) American White Pelican; (II) Roseate Spoonbill; (III) Snowy Heron; (IV) Flamingo; Text: (I) Scarlet Tanager; (II) Bonaparte’s Gull; (III) Canvasback Duck; (IV) Nonpareil; (V) Bobolink. 37.

A Very Interesting and Long Letter, written by Audubon after his return from the United States whither he had gone to secure new drawings for his work “The Birds of America.” Audubon replies to Mr. Ord’s question relative to the color- ing of the Forked Tailed Hawk and states “that Wilson had not had an opportunity of seeing that elegant bird either alive or fresh killed when he made his drawing of it. . . . my drawing was made on the spot when I shot 7 of those birds in a few min- utes.” He also states that he has brought “50 drawings to place in his portfolios in lieu of 50 which I did not consider as worthy in the completion of my publication.” He also thanks him for his prompt remittance, and with a postscript “The 16th No. will be with you in a few days.” 39.

Anxious to render as faithful as possible, the author instituted a series of experiments upon a new mode of coloring, which was so far suc- cessful that the birds are asrclosely imitated as Art can hope to accomplish. 367.

A Beautiful Series of Bird Plates, some containing more than one specimen, painted by hand, in their natural colors, with charming backgrounds. A series of original and authoritative plates, illustrating typical species, intended to accompany “The Birds of South America.” Vol. I, by Brabourne and Charles Chubb, issued in 1913. [See No. 102 in this catalogue.] In a prefatory note in the first part, the publisher, H. Kirke Swann says that the plates included in this volume were originally intended to illustrate the 2nd and 3rd volumes of the “Birds of South America,” of which only the first volume, comprising a “List of the Birds of . South America,” was published. Continuing, he says, “This work as projected by the late Lord Brabourne, in conjunction with Mr. Bhubb, was to have comprised 16 vols., with 400 hand-coloured plates. The first volume mentioned above had only appeared, however, when further progress was delayed by Lord Brabourne’s last visit to South America, while his return to the Army when War broke out, and his subsequent death at Neuve-Chappelle in 1915, put an abrupt stop to the work . . . but feeling that the fine series of plates already finished by Mr. Gronvold (and partly printed) merited publication, I made arrangements to issue them in the present way, and I have added short notes on most of the species as compensation for the absence of any other text.” Dated, London, December, 1916. 381.
