I had the great pleasure of working with Charlton Heston
back in 1998 when he sat down with me to record a
Private Screenings interview for Turner Classic Movies.
Right from the start, he asked me to call him “Chuck.”
Not “Charlton” or “Mr. Heston.” And certainly not “Charlie.”
Only his wife was allowed to do that. What followed soon
after was a pleasant, affable conversation —although I
couldn’t help but think that any infraction of the rules would
inspire a clap of thunder, a burning bush or a major earth
tremor. And why not? He was, after all, a guy who was
known to either cause or survive any number of lightning
bolts, earthquakes and other calamities, at least on screen.
So why risk it? I called him “Chuck.” Meeting Chuck
in person made you realize immediately that he was the
kind of guy you hoped he would be—a straight-shooter,
a thinking man, sturdy, dependable and professional. He
was also a shy man one who overcame that shyness
because of the nature of his business, but still deep down
a shy man. So I imagine he’d be a little baffled to think that
people would want to purchase his personal memorabilia
included in this auction.
But even he admitted the very nature of his work made
people look up to him in a way that reflected the impact
of the characters he played— rather than the real Chuck
Heston. After all he played some imposing men: Moses,
Judah Ben-Hur, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, John
the Baptist, Michelangelo. As he told me in our interview—
these were individuals who did remarkable things and
it tends to rub off a little bit. Well I for one think Chuck
was being a little too self-effacing because the fact of the
matter is, he was a very good actor, a devoted husband
and family man, social activist and, in my experience, a
genuinely nice person. Thankfully, we’ll always have his
films to remember him by— and if the bidding goes your
way, perhaps you can have a piece of his memorabilia to
remember him by in your own way.
Good luck.

Ernest Hemingway once wrote of one of his own books that “if this had
been enough of a book, it would have had everything in it.” And then he
proceeded to list it all. My parents’ life was full of wonders. You could
not possibly list them all. They came from humble beginnings—my
father thought of himself as “a shy kid from backwoods Michigan who
liked to put on tights and funny noses and wave swords around”—my
mother Lydia (still going strong at 93) is the plucky and well-educated
daughter of a Midwestern high school principal. They married when
they were still studying drama at Northwestern, then Dad enlisted in
the Army Air Corps and, somewhat to his astonishment, survived the
Pacific Theater in World War II.
C.H. (as we call him) scrabbled for small parts off- and on Broadway,
got noticed by producer Hal Wallis and Paramount, made the
transition to Hollywood and the early days of live TV, then film, was
discovered by both C.B. DeMille and William Wyler, won an Oscar®,
and yes fame, stardom and fortune followed along with another
Oscar®, a SAG Award, two Golden Globes, The Medal of Freedom
and countless other awards. All told, he made more than 80 films
and television programs, working with great directors from DeMille
to James Cameron (and even a pretentious young director named
Fraser C. Heston!), interpreting works by great writers from William
Shakespeare to Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Bolt to Arthur
Conan Doyle, and starring alongside actors from Jimmy Stewart to
Laurence Olivier, Vanessa Redgrave to Orson Welles, Greg Peck to
Arnold Schwarzenegger. He played saints and cowboys, prophets,
presidents and kings, statesmen, warriors, geniuses, pirates and
artists in a career on both stage and screen that spanned the entire
second half of the 20th century and more.
While he was at it, he marched with Dr. Martin Luther King and led the
arts contingent in the March on Washington (CH did not believe that
surviving World War II gave you a “Get-Out-of-Public-Service-Free” card
for life). He served six terms as President of the Screen Actors Guild,
served on the National Council on the Arts, helped to found the American
Film Institute, served several tours for the USO in Vietnam and other
combat zones, served on the board and later as president of the National
Rifle Association, travelled widely on behalf of the State Department,
helped elect four U.S. Presidents and countless Senators, Governors
and Congressmen, wrote five books, fathered two children (myself and
my sister Holly) and three grandchildren (Jack, Ridley and Charlie), and
remained married to the same woman for over 60 years, a remarkable
feat in Tinsletown. And through it all, all this marvelous adventure and
mélange of a life, Dad was still the shy kid from backwoods Michigan,
Lydia the Wisconsin high school principal’s daughter.
It was a magnificent life, full of wonders and riches. There was the
brooding backwoods of Michigan and the bleak windswept wartime
Aleutian Islands, the mean streets of New York and a walk-up cold-
water flat in Hell’s Kitchen; the sun-drenched, palm-lined avenues of
Hollywood, then Rome of course, for Ben-Hur in ’58, and the Dolce
Vita. My first memory was of C.H. learning to drive a chariot (and
taking me on rides) and winning the race as well. There was me as a
young lad, fascinated by the movies, sitting in Sophia Loren’s lap on
the set of El Cid, or eating fish tacos with Dad and Sam Peckinpah on
the set of Major Dundee in Durango one month and dining off silver
salvers on roast beef and Yorkshire pudding in the Dorchester Hotel in
London the next. Or my sister, dwarfed by a suit of Roman armor, on
the set of Antony and Cleopatra, at the age of 11.

There was crossing the Atlantic on the Queen Mary and the SS United
States (one always took trans-Atlantic liners to Europe in those days
before jets), sailing a grand wooden yacht across the wine-dark sea
of the Aegean in the wake of Ulysses, and then sailing a replica of
Captain Cook’s tall ship Endeavor across the Great Barrier Reef. My
mother was a fancier of archeology, history, and art, and my father
an aficionado of great literature, from William Shakespeare to Ernest
Hemingway (and yes there were bull-fights in Madrid and running the
bulls in Pamplona), and a lover of great paintings, from Michelangelo
to Andrew Wyeth (a personal friend) and J.M.W. Turner, great
museums from the Prado to the Louvre to the Tate.
There was what my sister and I called “ruin running” with my mother—
more Indiana Jones than any of us—who led us on adventures
across ruins from the Parthenon to the Forum, from Hadrian’s Wall
to Abu Simbel, from Troy to Masada. Lydia especially loved climbing
things, from the Great Pyramids of Cheops to the Tasman Glacier
on Mount Cook with (I kid you not) ice axes; running rivers from
the Nile to the Noatak (while moose hunting!); adventures from the
Amazon to the River of No Return; exploring jungles and Mayan
temples in the Yucatan and the mountain-top aeries of the Incas
in Machu Picchu. And of course, travel, for its own sake, and also
to work and live and serve, to exotic locales from Alaska’s High
Arctic to the Pampas of Argentina, from Beijing (directing a play - in
Chinese!) to ballooning in the Maasai Mara. And my mother, a talented
professional photographer, captured it all, from about the time of The
Ten Commandments, winding up with an extraordinary collection
of 57,000 color slides (I counted them!) and thousands of color and
black and white prints and negatives.
They developed, not surprisingly, an eclectic taste for art, and
wound up with a wide-ranging collection of fine art, photography
(from Julia Margaret Cameron to Ansel Adams), sculpture, mid-
century and antique furniture, and a collection of rare books
dating from the 17th century, from a Hemingway first edition to
Lewis and Clark and early Shakespeare folios. And of course,
movie memorabilia, from Major Dundee’s boots to Ben-Hur’s door
knockers, from the sword of Ghengis Khan to the cape of El Cid.
Their fascinating and varied collections reflect not so much a love of
things but a joie de vivre, a passion for life and everything in it. It was
a grand, shining time, rich with experiences and wonderful things. It
was a magnificent life. And it had, nearly, everything in it. Thank you
for allowing us to share some of it with you.

headlines and page numerals of several leaves shaved, final leaf
tattered and with 3 long tears, one of which touches the word FINIS,
small hole to E2, a few pencil scribbles and annotations.
FIRST SEPARATE AND FIRST QUARTO EDITION. RARE: we trace
no complete copies, and only two incomplete copies, in the auction
records of ABPC and RareBookHub. Macbeth was first printed in
the first folio of 1623, and did not appear separately until the present
edition. The list of players on A2 corresponds to William Davenant’s
production at the Duke of York’s Theatre, but the text follows that of
the first folio. (Davenant’s edited text appeared the following year.)
This copy was unrecorded by Bartlett and Pollard in their 1939 census
of Shakespeare’s plays in quarto. The census located just three copies
in private hands, one of which lacked the final two leaves. Another
private copy, also lacking the last two leaves, last sold at Sotheby’s in
1961. Bartlett 111; Wing S-2929. Cf. Bartlett & Pollard p 131.
Charlton Heston played Macbeth on stage and on live television
several times in his career, including a production at the Ahmanson
Theater in 1975, starring opposite Vanessa Redgrave.

Shakespeare’s plays to the London stage at the Restoration” (ODNB).
The present Hamlet was altered by Davenant in both length and diction,
and was first staged in 1661, with Thomas Betterton—considered by

in the list of players). Bartlett 84; Greg I 197(i); Wing S-2950.

Volumes I and II (1956), by Pidal, Volume I annotated English in blue

housed in slipcase, limited edition, #63 of 1500, signed by the printer;
Poem of the Cid (1938, translation by John Ormsby) is inscribed to
Fraser Heston by Cora Sommer in ink for his eighth birthday, February
12, 1963. Poem of the Cid (1957 English translation); Poem of the Cid
(1921) in Spanish and English, translation by Archer M. Huntington,
signed in ink to Heston on third blank front page by eight employees
of Duff Gordon and Co., makers of the El Cid Sherry line, and inscribed
in ink “Un gran placer dedicamos / este libro al Sr. Charlton / Heston
en recuerdo del magni- / fico film ‘El Cid’” and, below signatures,
“Shippers of El Cid sherry / 6:12:61.”
Heston thoroughly studied the lives of the historical figures he portrayed,
including that of the 11th century military leader known as El Cid, who
he played in the 1961 movie of the same name. While in Madrid, Heston
consulted the world authority on the Cid, Nobel Prize nominee Ramon
Menendez Pidal. In his memoir In the Arena (1995), Heston vividly
describes his visit to Pidal’s home and also mentions that the author
gave him several books when he left that day.

was published in Philadelphia in 1814. The American sheets were sent
to the English publisher, Thomas Rees. In the preface, Rees states that
“the only liberty that has been taken with the language, has been merely
the correction of a few inadvertent grammatical or typographical errors”
and the omission of Lewis’s appendix on the state of the Indian nations
(“as the subject is altogether of a local nature”). However, he does
incorporate Jefferson’s “Message on the Subject of this Expedition”
of 19 February 1806 as well as an extract from Lewis’s “Fort Mandan”
letter of 17 [7th] April 1805 to Jefferson. The folding map is a close copy

be financially worth while dramatizing it. And, honestly, I’m not awfully
proud of it. / Still working on my novel.” “Head and Shoulders” first

In 1976-1977, Charlton Heston starred in a production of O’Neill’s A

A REPRODUCTION PAINTED PLASTER SCULPTURE OF
MICHELANGELO’S MOSES
Stamped “Alexander Backer C.O.” to verso of pedestal. This statue sat
on Cecil B. DeMille’s desk at Paramount Studios during the production
of The Ten Commandments, and was later gifted by the director to
Charlton Heston. Heston wrote in his autobiography In the Arena
(1995), “Michelangelo’s marble figure of Moses is one of the greatest
statues in the world, certainly the finest representation of the prophet.
It looks a lot like me, particularly the nose. Someone pointed this out to
C.B. DeMille early in his deliberations on casting the part ... I think he
never could get it out of his mind ... I guess I won by a nose.”

A JOHN L. JENSEN PORTRAIT OF CHARLTON HESTON AS
MOSES IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Paramount, 1956. Drawing in pencil on illustration paper, signed and
dated at lower right (“J.L. Jenson ‘54”), displayed on foam board with
poster mounts in corners.
John L. Jensen was one of the key production illustrators on Cecil
B. DeMille’s The Ten Commandments, drafting many conceptual
drawings of scenes, costumes, etc. Dated two years before the film’s
release date, these dramatic studies of Heston as Moses present
him at three stages of his life: young and clean-shaven; slightly older
and bearded; and older still, with his signature flowing white beard.
The white-bearded portrait appears to have been patterned after
Michelangelo’s “Moses.”

A PAIR OF DOOR KNOCKERS FROM
THE HOUSE OF HUR USED IN BEN-HUR
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1959. Comprising two matched circular solid
brass doorknockers with diamond and square patterns, attached to
brass wall mounts and mounted with Star of David wall plaques. One
door knocker has a typed label describing the pieces’ history, the other
is inscribed by Charlton Heston in ink on white tape, “Original brass
handles / to doors of House of Hur, / built at Cinecitta, Rome for /
‘Ben-Hur’ shoot, 1958, C.H.”
Ben-Hur’s art director Edward Carfagno designed these heavy door
knockers for the front door of the House of Hur, the title character’s
home in Jerusalem. They are clearly visible during the film’s first act,
and then after Ben-Hur’s return to his barren house in the film’s final
scenes. The door knockers’ Star of David motif ties in with similar
designs throughout the House of Hur. Heston’s Beverly Hills home was
under construction while Ben-Hur was being filmed, and Heston had
the doors of the den designed to accommodate these door knockers.
Among Ben-Hur’s many Academy Award® wins, Edward Carfagno
shared the award for Best Art Direction with William A. Horning and
Hugh Hunt. Accompanied by a copy of the film as well as a photo of
Charlton and Lydia Heston in their newly-completed home, standing
next to the door knockers.
Knocker rings (diameter): 7 in; Star of David mounts: 7 x 8 in

the production, there is also a typed note at the beginning of the chariot
race scene, “Pages 159 through 179, describing race were from an
earlier script. During shooting, CH removed those pages from this script,
because the race was being designed and shot by Yakima Canutt and
had very little to do with the description that follows on these pages.
1-28-83.” Heston donated three Ben-Hur screenplays to the Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, including one with a similar
annotation regarding the chariot race, and this is the last of his Ben-Hur
screenplays in the family’s possession.

Circa 1950s, 30 pp, drawings on each page, ownership signature to
cover (“Charlton Heston”); a spiral-bound sketchbook, 10 pp, drawings on
each page, no cover; two drawings on illustration paper; two drawings on
tracing paper; and three pieces of tracing paper with scribbles.
From grade school onward, Heston was an avid graphic artist.
Throughout his acting career, he regularly sketched on-set, occasionally
exhibiting his drawings or using them as illustrations in his books. This
undated lot of Heston’s sketches appears to date primarily from the
1940s-1950s. The spiral-bound sketchbook includes miscellaneous
drawings in pencil and charcoal pencil of apparently Medieval characters
- a king, men fighting with knives, a warrior in a Tartan holding a helmet,
etc.—as well as a man and woman embracing, an airplane, a horse, and
other subjects. A page from this sketchbook depicting a stage set has
come loose. Almost all of the sketches on newsprint here depict a nude
female figure model in various poses rendered in marker, with Heston’s
occasional notes about the time each drawing took (“5 min.,” etc.).
The two sheets of illustration paper feature a watercolor to the verso of
one depicting a bearded, robed figure orating, rendered in blues and
greys, and, on the recto, pencil drawings of a horse and rider (captioned
“Montgomery- 1939”); the second sheet features an interior design
(possibly a stage design). The tracing paper drawings depict a nude
woman in high heels and a smaller inset drawing of a man seated at a
night club table watching a woman onstage; the other drawing
depicts a man in sunglasses, baseball cap, and cowboy boots seated
in a director’s chair, and was probably drawn on a set or location.

A LARGE PORTRAIT OF CHARLTON HESTON AS CARDINAL
RICHELIEU FROM RETURN OF THE MUSKETEERS
Universal, 1989. Oil on canvas, framed. Heston memorably portrayed
the domineering Richelieu in Richard Lester’s swashbuckling hits The
Three Musketeers (1973) and The Four Musketeers: Milady’s Revenge
(1974). He so enjoyed playing Richelieu that, when Lester was preparing
a third entry in the series, Return of the Musketeers (1989), Heston was
interested in reprising the role. Richelieu had died by the time the third
film was set, however, so Heston posed for this Baroque-style portrait of
the character which appeared in the film. The portrait was then presented
to him after production wrapped, and hung in the tennis pavilion at his
Coldwater Canyon home. The pose and overall design of this massive
formal painting were patterned after an actual 1639 portrait of Richelieu
by Philippe de Champaigne.

Paramount, 1956. Two matched painted plaster miniature walls with
frescoes of Egyptian charioteers, chariots, and horses, right panel
is braced on verso with a metal bar and a wooden bar, left panel is
braced with several metal bars molded into plaster and one wooden
bar. The gigantic full-size walls of the biblical city of Per-Rameses
were built by director Cecil B. DeMille’s crew on-location in Egypt
and measured over 100 feet tall. The walls figure prominently in key
scenes in the film, such as the beginning of Moses’s (Heston) march
with the Israelites as they begin their Exodus from Egypt. These are
plaster casts of large miniature versions of those walls, possibly casts
of pre-production maquettes. These panels were gifted by Cecil B.
DeMille to Charlton and Lydia Heston during the production of The Ten
Commandments. They were delivered to the couple unpainted and the
Hestons painted them together.
Right panel: 2 1/2 x 50 x 51 in; left panel: 2 1/2 x 50 1/2 x 51 1/2 in

has disclosed that fact or the identity of the principal)
may be jointly and severally liable with the principal under
any contract resulting from the acceptance of a bid.
Unless otherwise agreed, payment in good funds is
due and payable within five (5) business days following
the auction sale. Whenever the purchaser pays only
a part of the total purchase price for one or more lots
purchased, we may apply such payments, in our sole
discretion, to the lot or lots we choose. Payment will
not be deemed made in full until we have collected
good funds for all amounts due.

notes and cash equivalents that can be accepted from a
given purchaser may be limited.
The purchaser grants us a security interest in the
property, and we may retain as collateral security for
the purchaser’s obligations to us, any property and all
monies held or received by us for the account of the
purchaser, in our possession. We retain all rights of a
secured party under the California Commercial Code.
If the foregoing conditions or any other applicable
conditions herein are not complied with, in addition to
other remedies available to us and the consignor by
law, including without limitation, the right to hold the
purchaser liable for the purchase price, we at our option
may either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated
damages all payments made by the purchaser or (b)
resell the property, either publicly or privately, and in such
event the purchaser shall be liable for the payment of
any deficiency plus all costs and expenses of both sales,
our commission at our standard rates, all other charges
due hereunder, attorneys’ fees, expenses and incidental
damages. In addition, where two or more amounts
are owed in respect of different transactions by the

due to us from the purchaser are not paid promptly as

of any dispute between bidders, or in the event the
auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the auctioneer
shall have sole and final discretion either to determine
the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article
in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales
records shall be conclusive in all respects.
5. If we are prevented by fire, theft or any other reason
whatsoever from delivering any property to the purchaser
or a sale otherwise cannot be completed, our liability
shall be limited to the sum actually paid therefor
by the purchaser and shall in no event include any
compensatory, incidental or consequential damages.
6. If a lot is offered subject to a reserve, we may
implement such reserve by bidding on behalf of the
consignor, whether by opening bidding or continuing
bidding in response to other bidders until reaching the
reserve. If we have an interest in an offered lot and the
proceeds therefrom other than our commissions, we may
bid therefor to protect such interest. CONSIGNORS ARE
NOT ALLOWED TO BID ON THEIR OWN ITEMS.
7. All statements contained in the catalog or in any bill
of sale, condition report, invoice or elsewhere as to

LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION
If within one (1) year from the date of sale, the original
purchaser (a) gives written notice to us alleging that
the identification of Authorship (as defined below) of
such lot as set forth in the BOLD TYPE heading of
the catalog description of such lot (as amended by any
saleroom notices or verbal announcements during the
sale) is not substantially correct based on a fair reading
of the catalog (including the terms of any glossary
contained therein), and (b) within 10 days after such
notice returns the lot to us in the same condition as at
the time of sale, and © establishes the allegation in the
notice to our satisfaction (including by providing one or
more written opinions by recognized experts in the field,
as we may reasonably require), then the sale of such lot
will be rescinded and, unless we have already paid to
the consignor monies owed him in connection with the
sale, the original purchase price will be refunded.
If, prior to receiving such notice from the original
purchaser alleging such defect, we have paid the
consignor monies owed him in connection with the
sale, we shall pay the original purchaser the amount
of our commissions, any other sale proceeds to which
we are entitled and applicable taxes received from
the purchaser on the sale and make demand on the
consignor to pay the balance of the original purchase
price to the original purchaser. Should the consignor
fail to pay such amount promptly, we may disclose
the identity of the consignor and assign to the original
purchaser our rights against the consignor with respect
to the lot the sale of which is sought to be rescinded.
Upon such disclosure and assignment, any liability of
Bonhams as consignor’s agent with respect to said lot
shall automatically terminate.
The foregoing limited right of rescission is available to
the original purchaser only and may not be assigned
to or relied upon by any subsequent transferee of
the property sold. The purchaser hereby accepts
the benefit of the consignor’s warranty of title and
other representations and warranties made by the
consignor for the purchaser’s benefit. Nothing in
this section shall be construed as an admission by
us of any representation of fact, express or implied,
obligation or responsibility with respect to any
lot. THE PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY AGAINST BONHAMS FOR ANY REASON
WHATSOEVER IS THE LIMITED RIGHT OF
RESCISSION DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.
“Authorship” means only the identity of the creator, the
period, culture and source or origin of the lot, as the
case may be, as set forth in the BOLD TYPE heading of
the print catalog entry. The right of rescission does not
extend to: (a) works of art executed before 1870 (unless
these works are determined to be counterfeits created
since 1870), as this is a matter of current scholarly
opinion which can change; (b) titles, descriptions, or
other identification of offered lots, which information
normally appears in lower case type below the BOLD
TYPE heading identifying the Authorship; © Authorship
of any lot where it was specifically mentioned that
there exists a conflict of specialist or scholarly opinion
regarding the Authorship of the lot at the time of sale; (d)
Authorship of any lot which as of the date of sale was in
accordance with the then generally-accepted opinion of
scholars and specialists regarding the same; or (e) the
identification of periods or dates of creation in catalog
descriptions which may be proven inaccurate by means
of scientific processes that are not generally accepted
for use until after publication of the catalog in which the
property is offered or that were unreasonably expensive
or impractical to use at the time of such publication.

PROPERTY IS SOLD “AS IS.” NEITHER BONHAMS NOR
THE CONSIGNOR MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION

Catalogs
Before each auction we publish illustrated catalogs that

for each “lot.” A lot may refer to a single item or to a group
of items auctioned together. We oer our catalogs by
subscription or by single copy. For information on subscribing
to our catalogs, you may refer to the subscription form in
this catalog, call our Client Services Department, or visit our
website at www.bonhams.com/us.
Previews
Auction previews are your chance to inspect each lot prior to
the auction. We encourage you to look closely and examine
each object on which you may want to bid so that you will
know as much as possible about it. Items are sold “as is” and
with all faults; illustrations in our catalogs, website and other
materials are provided for identication only. At the previews,
our sta is always available to answer your questions and
guide you through the auction process. Condition reports may
be available upon request.
Estimates
Bonhams catalogs include estimates for each lot, exclusive of
buyer’s premium and tax. The estimates are provided as an
approximate guide to current market value and should not be
interpreted as a representation or prediction of actual selling
prices. They are determined well in advance of a sale and are
subject to revision. Please contact us should you have any
questions about value estimates.
Reserves
All lots in a catalog are subject to a reserve unless otherwise
indicated. The reserve is the minimum price that the seller is
willing to accept for a lot. This amount is condential and does
not exceed the low estimated value.
BIDDING AT AUCTION
At Bonhams, you can bid in many ways: in person, via
absentee bid, over the phone, or via Bonhams’ online bidding
facility. Absentee bids can be submitted in person, online, via
fax or via email.
A valid Bonhams client account is required to participate in
bidding activity. You can obtain registration information online, at
the reception desk or by calling our Client Services Department.
By bidding at auction, whether in person or by agent, by
absentee bid, telephone, online or other means, the buyer or
bidder agrees to be bound by the Conditions of Sale.
Lots are auctioned in consecutive numerical order as they
appear in the catalog. Bidding normally begins below
the low estimate. The auctioneer will accept bids from
interested parties present in the saleroom, from telephone
bidders, and from absentee bidders who have left written
bids in advance of the sale. The auctioneer may also
execute bids on behalf of the consignor up to the amount
of the reserve, but never above it.
We assume no responsibility for failure to execute bids for any
reason whatsoever.
In Person
If you are planning to bid at auction, you will need to register
at the reception desk in order to receive a numbered bid
card. To place a bid, hold up your card so that the auctioneer
can clearly see it. Decide on the maximum amount that
you wish to pay, exclusive of buyer’s premium and tax, and
continue bidding until your bid prevails or you reach your limit.
If you are the successful bidder on a lot, the auctioneer will
acknowledge your paddle number and bid amount.
Absentee Bids
As a service to those wishing to place bids, we may at our
discretion accept bids without charge in advance of sale by
telephone, by facsimile or in writing on bidding forms available
from us. “Buy” bids will not be accepted; all bids must state the
highest bid price the bidder is willing to pay. Our auction sta
will try to bid just as you would, with the goal of obtaining the
item at the lowest bid price possible. In the event identical bids
are submitted, the earliest bid submitted will take precedence.
Absentee bids shall be executed in competition with other
absentee bids, any applicable reserve, and bids from other
auction participants. A friend or agent may place bids on
your behalf, provided that we have received your written
authorization prior to the sale. Absentee bid forms are available
in our catalogs, online at www.bonhams.com/us, and at our
San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York galleries.
