RENARD, LOUIS POISSONS, ECREVISSES ET CRABES. Amsterdam; Reinier & Ottens, 1754. A beautifully hand colored copy of what is the second edition, possibly colored on the remaining copper plate etchings of the first edition of 1719. From our research there are only 34 known copies, 5 of which are in North America. Slim folio rebacked within the past 50 years in 3/4 leather preserving the presumed original boards. The title page (with water stain to a small portion upper left) printed in red & black. Present is the preface by Aerout Vosmear. Bound in is a partial English translation in a fine 19th Century hand. The Avertissement de L’Editeur of 2 pages is present as is the 4 page Declaration Sur Cet Ouvrage. Both half titles are present (in black), Tome I is complete with 43 plates. Tome II with 56 of the 57 plates, missing the Mermaid plate. Subject of great controversy in preparation for publication, history has vindicated the illustrators (predominately Samuel Fallours )with great fidelity to shape and color. There are, nonetheless, charming incorporation of human characteristics to some of the crabs, crayfish, lobsters & fish. The arc of the age of enlightenment sought to illuminate all of nature with precision as to shape & color and these illustrations, in great measure, succeeded. The University of Glasgow asserts that this is the earliest known work of fishes illustrated in color. There is occasional textual commentary, including the edibility of some of the specimens. Present as well is the Table Alphabetique Des Noms in four pages. CONDITION: The illustrations are uniformly bold & bright. There is some age toning to the paper, more so in Tom I. This gives no real offense. There is a small stain to the margins of Fol Arabic III. There is a repaired margin to Fol 3 in Tome I. There is a repaired margin to Septieme Planche and a small margin tear to plate XVI (both in Tome II). There is a curious rectangular discoloration following the plate mark to XXXII. Also as noted above. 9-25315 (20,000-40,000)

PALLADIO, ANDREA. LES ANTIQUITEZ DE LA VILLE DE ROME. Rome; Mario Catalani, 1646. BOUND WITH:LES SEPT EGLISES PRINCIPALES LA PRIMIERE EGLISE EFT. S. JEAN DE LATERAN. Presumed to be the same publisher & imprint date. The Palladio title comprises pages 131-190 (complete) and the first title in pages 1-130. It is my best opinion that this was a traveler’s book to the great landmarks of Rome. Pages 189 & 180 give a distance table to Rome. Bound in limp vellum and adorned with a profusion of well accomplished woodcuts. The lettered spine title “Antiquities de Rome.” CONDITION: Complete except for the preliminary blanks and likely the rear free fly. A bookworm has made its way through the outer and lower margins of the final 70 pages but is predominately marginal in nature. Several pages are mis-numbered but the book collates as complete. 9-25322 (600-900)

We believe this to be the edition printed by Michael Wenssler in Basel in 1475. CONDITION: Disbound.

Folio, in full leather likely rebound at a very early date with blind stamped front & rear boards. Ample margins. Black letter in double columns of 59 lines. A most desirable copy of an early issue (the printings continue to be debated) of one of the most important books printed in the English language. No new translation of the Bible into the English language was again accomplished until 1885. The remarkable events and personalities surrounding this translation commissioned by King James are well known and are numbered among the greatest scholarly collaborations of the western world. See Herbert 319 and 309 and Printing and the Mind of Man (114) quoting Macaulay, “a book, which if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power.” CONDITION: The title page of the New Testament with the date “1611” has not been altered.

No hand written marginalia; book seller/collector notes to front paste down & two paste overs to what is likely an (unknown) owner’s signature to front paste down. Collation notation to final blank leaf and random letters & marks to rear paste down where the word “William?” is written on an oblique angle. The fourteen pages of the Genealogies are elaborately decorative. There is a small trail of a bookworm to the final eight leaves extending about 1/4″ through the lower margin. There is hand coloring (red) to the device on the page listing Holy Days. 9-25318 (15,000-25,000)

In February of 1863 Dahlgren was promoted to Rear Admiral and took command of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron. This lot includes: 1) Three page 13-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ order titled “Order of Battle and Plan of Attack Upon Charleston, S.C.” dated April 5, 1863 and signed “S.F. DuPont” Rear Admiral Commanding, South Atlantic Blockade Squadron. This plan was enacted on April 7, 1863. Unfortunately, the nine ironclads were unable to navigate properly in the obstructed channels leading to the harbor. His ships were caught in a blistering crossfire, and he withdrew. Five of the ironclads were disabled and one sank. This was partly the cause of his being relieved of his command at his own request on July 5, 1863. 2) 9-3/4″ x 8″ letter dated July 15, 1863 from “Flag Stmr Augusta Dinsmore/Off Maris Island (Dahlgren used the Dinsmore as his flagship from June 30, 1863 to July 17, 1863) The order is addressed to “The Senior Officer Present Off Charleston Bar”. He informs the senior officer that if the “enemy’s ironclads” come out and attack our wooden vessels the vessel which observes their approach should show three rockets in rapid succession. At that point one of the monitors will be towed out at once to engage. Signed “J.A. Dahlgren” as Rear Admiral Commanding, S.A.B. Squadron. 3) 9-3/4″ x 8″ on blue-lined paper an order from the Flag Steamer Dinsmore July 21, 1863 signed “J.A. Dahlgren” as Rear Admiral Commanding, S.A.B. Squadron.

Dahlgren directs “for the capture of this vessel, and no effort should be spared to this end”. 4) A 12-3/4″ x 8″ blue sheet titled “Order for Friday – 14th August 1863”. Dahlgren announces that in a joint operation with General Gillmore “commencing today” the Passaic and the Patapsco will take positions off Fort Sumter and the other monitors will close on Fort Wagner and then advance along the beach towards Fort Gregg. 5) 8″ x 5″ two page letter written from the “Philadelphia” February 5, 1864.

Revised: 8/3/2012

Additional Information: According to an historian and scholar of New York firefighting memorabilia, there are discrepancies with much of the text painted on the sign, and his observations are listed as follows:

1) There is no listing for “Bowery Fireman’s Supply” in NYC directories during the period of the 1890s.

2) Gold Street and Nassau Street do not intersect in Manhattan. They do intersect however in Brooklyn.

3) Sheffan & Cheever was actually Shelton & Cheever.

4) All four helmet makers had their own shops in Manhattan, and the engine manufacturers mentioned were in heavy competition with each other and had their own representatives.

We believe that, at the least, the sign has been repainted and has restoration as previously noted. We cannot guarantee the vintage of the sign as late 19th century. It is most certainly an attractive trade sign regardless of its origins.

LARGE PAINTED VIGNETTE ON PANEL TITLED “JOAQUIN MURRIETA” (THE ORIGINAL ZORRO). This large late 19th or early 20th century painting on panel depicts a southwestern scene with a dashing figure on horseback brandishing a dagger. He wears a cape and and blue tight britches and is astride a handsome brown stallion. Title below the panel is “Joaquin Murrieta Famous Robin Hood, Eldorado, Co.”. Joaquin Murrieta was born in 1829 and lived to the July 25, 1853, he was also called “The Mexican or Chilean, Robin Hood” or the “Robin Hood of Eldorado”. It is also believed that he and his life were the basis for the story of “Zorro”. He was a semi-legendary figure during the gold rush of the 1850’s, depending upon which view point you take, he was either an infamous bandit or a Mexican patriot. In general purportedly, Anglos drove him from a rich mining claim and shortly thereafter his wife was raped, his half brother lynched and Murrieta himself horsewhipped, and some time after that his escapades began. Murrieta and his men committed enough crimes and became enough of a problem that by 1853 the CA state legislature considered Murrieta enough of a criminal to list him as one of the five “Joaquins” on a bill passed May 1853, the Legislature authorized hiring for three months a company of 20 CA rangers who were veterans of the Mexican-American war to hunt down a number of criminals including Murrieta. The rangers confronted and killed a number of individuals they claimed to be these same criminals, one being 3-fingered Jack, another included Murrieta. They severed the hand of 3-fingered Jack and the head of Murrieta to bring back and receive their $1,000 reward. The head and hand were preserved in a jar of alcohol and shown to many priests who know Murrieta and confirmed it was he. The head was also brandished about and used to display at special showing for a fee and was reportedly lost in the San Francisco earthquake. In an article, “Love and the Bandit’s Head”, in True West magazine, William B Secrest states that the head was on display at SB Jordan’s San Francisco Museum and showcased there until the earthquake of 1906. This placard may have been part of the museum display. SIZE: 32-1/2″ x 65-1/2″ sight. PROVENANCE: J. Parker Lyon Pony Express Museum. CONDITION: Shows plenty of age.

RARE EARLY WOODEN SIGN FOR THE “OSO” HOUSE A FAMOUS WELLS FARGO COMPANY STAGECOACH STOP DURING THE GOLD RUSH. This is a great old piece of 19th century western Americana. This sign is one of the wooden signs that originally hung on the “Oso” House which was built in 1851. The sign is a one-piece pine board which originally had an attached molded trim around all four sides. Now only the bottom molding pieces survives. The molding was applied with early, square iron nails. The original lettering “Oso House” is still intact but much worn with age (as it should be). During the gold rush period, the “Oso” House was located in Mariposa, California. It was a noted early California stopping place and had a Wells Fargo station office. Over the years, many famous 19th century figures stayed at the “Oso” House when passing through or visiting the region. One of the more notable figures was General John C. Fremont who lived at the hotel at the time he supervised and managed the Mariposa Grant of 44,000 acres. In December of 1937, the house burned down. This lot is accompanied by a copy of a period image (circa 1854) of the “Oso” House. Note the “Oso” House sign, top center, and just at the base of the 2nd floor there is a large Wells Fargo sign also. The people on the early Wells Fargo coach include General Fremont in 1854. Prior to 1935, this sign was in the W. Parker Lyons Pony Express Museum and is pictured in the Pony Express book. Also included with this lot is a copy of a note regarding this sign which states, “My dear Mr. Lyon, I wish to present you with my compliments, this photograph showing the “Oso” House at Bear Valley, Mariposa County, California which was built in 1851. On the driver’s seat, sitting in the center is General John C. Fremont. Signed, J. J. Trabucco”. Trabucco was a judge in the Mariposa area at one time. SIZE: Approximately 9’10” long x 1’2-1/2″ high. CONDITION: As noted, the molding trim is missing on three sides. There is a small amount of deterioration on each end. The front side of the sign, which was exposed to the elements, has a wonderful, old, very worn patina and still retains traces of the original paint on the lettering. The reverse of the sign, originally was painted with a blue/gray paint which is still strong and intact as it was protected from the elements. This is a wonderful piece of western Americana with the Wells Fargo connection. 4-45604 (19,500-24,500)

OUTSTANDING NEAR RECORD POLAR BEAR RUG HARVESTED IN ALASKA IN 1959. This fine large example of an Alaskan Polar Bear rug harvested in 1959 by Richard White while on a hunting expedition with Colonel Phillip F. Neuweiler. This large example was in 1959, at that time, the 3rd largest Polar Bear harvested in the world. The bear skin was later mounted by Jonas Brothers Taxidermist of Denver, Co., renowned for their expertise in preserving wildlife trophies. At the time the current owner acquired this rug from the family of Dr. White, he again sent it to Jonas Brothers for cleaning and refurbishment. NOTE: This exact bear is illustrated and discussed in the book, “Big Game Trails in the Far North” by Col. Phillip F. Neuweiler. On page 284, there is a photo of this bear just after it was harvested. In the photo clearly illustrated is a scar below the right eye. This exact same scar is of course also still present today on our bear rug. The photo is captioned “Phil and his friend, Dr. Richard White, of Allentown, Pa. With Doc’s big Polar bear, 1959″. On pages 92 and 92, the author, Phillip Neuweiler describes a hunt in which he shot a very large bear, the second largest ever harvested, later measure by the local game warden and wildlife expert in the area where they were camping. This bear is mentioned in the following sentence, “Doc White and I now have the number 2, 3, and 4 polar bears in the world. Our bear is Dr. White’s bear which Neuweiler refers to and was the number 3 bear in 1959. In the next paragraph the following quote is made, “The wildlife expert is the one who measured Doc’s and my bear, and recorded the measurements”. Please note: An affidavit signed by the current owner accompanies this Polar Bear rug attesting to the date of harvesting and provenance which places the Polar Bear rug well within the limits authorizing the sale of and transportation over state lines. In addition, we have contacted the Federal Fish and Wildlife Division in Washington and Alaska and have confirmed that because the bear was clearly documented as being harvested in 1959 it is legal to sell and transport. An outstanding and beautiful trophy bear. SIZE: 95” nose to tail, 86” right front paw to right rear paw, 84” left front paw to left rear paw, 95” front left paw to front right paw, 101” rear left paw to rear right paw, 129” right front paw to left rear paw, 125” left front paw to right rear paw. CONDITION: Overall very good. Fur entirely intact with good coloration throughout. Diagonal scar below proper right eye. 9-25464 (4,000-6,000)

THE HORSE HEAD USED IN THE FILMING OF THE MOVIE “THE GODFATHER”. This is the actual horse head used by Paramount Studios during the rehearsal scenes of the first Godfather movie. It was just prior to this scene Brando mumbled one of the more iconic verbiages of the film and now probably one of the most repeated quotes used today “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse”. As a result of various correspondence with Paramount Studios, the consignor, and the former employee of Paramount who originally owned the head, we understand that this taxidermy mount on Styrofoam was purchased by Paramount and shipped from a firm in Texas (the name of which is unknown to us) for $2,000. Despite the lifelike and grisly appearance of the mount (the Styrofoam base of the simulated horse head is painted red and looks very realistically bloody) apparently Coppola was not satisfied with its realism. According to Producer Al Ruddy, this head was “unsuitable”, one reason being that the seam/crack in the middle of the taxidermy horse’s neck was too obvious. Coppola wanted no question of it being a real head. As a result, in the actual final filming a real horse’s bloody head was used. Coppola wanted to make an extraordinarily dramatic statement that left no question of its reality. The result was one of the most notorious and grisly scenes in the entire movie. Studio boss, Jack Woltz who had been unresponsive to Corleone’s request awoke the next morning in his satin sheeted bed, to discover the bloody severed head of his prize thoroughbred “Khartoum”. Our taxidermy head was used in the various rehearsals but at the final filming an actual real severed horse head was sent from a New Jersey dog food plant, packed in dry ice, and used for the final scene. Using a real head was a delicate matter with the SPCA and so the actual real head used was immediately thereafter given to the SPCA for disposal. Paramount’s prop department was closed and liquidated in 2000. According to the former owner who had worked at Paramount, she had acquired the head in the 1970’s. There are two references of official note that discuss both horse heads. 1) Page 21 in “The Godfather Companion by Peter Biskind which references Coppola & the second horse head. 2) In “The Godfather Legacy, The Untold Story of the Making of the Classic Godfather Trilogy” (Revised & Updated Edition) by Harlan Lebo shows a half page photograph of Coppola in the bed with our taxidermy head, showing actor Marley how he wanted him to react to the discovery of the horse’s head. Our taxidermy mount is an actual head & neck of a horse that had been mounted on a Styrofoam form and the seam which Al Ruddy refers to is very apparent in our taxidermy mount. SIZE: 34″ from the neck to tip of nose; 24″ wide. PROVENANCE: Our consignor acquired this head from an ex-employee of Paramount Studio’s. According to the Ex-Paramount employee she acquired the head in the early 70’s and shipped it at her mother’s home where it was stored until she later sold it to our consignor. CONDITION: Very good. 9-25481 (10,000-20,000)

He received a patent on January 7, 1862. He was also known for his paintings of the American West. Probably his fascination with the American West and Native Americans was due to his proximity to the edge of the frontier and his eagerness to capture its flavor. SIZE: 48″ x 32″. CONDITION: Small area in dress needs attention, otherwise original untouched condition that would brighten with cleaning. 7-70096 (10,000-20,000)
