The history of Hermès, creator of luxury goods that range from leather to home furnishings, jewellery and more, begins in the mid-19th century. In 1837 Thierry Hermès, recognising the demand for high quality harnesses for the carriages of the nobility, opened a shop in Paris. He soon became known as the best in his field, and he counted Napoléon III and his wife, the Empress Eugénie, among his clientele. Eventually, Thierry’s son Charles-Emilie would expand their product line to the manufacture of saddles, boots, whips and importantly, feeding bags, or nosebags. Incidentally, a nosebag is thought to be the design inspiration for Hermes later Picotin handbag. This expertise at working leather gradually evolved into the production of leather handbags, with Hermès releasing its first in 1922. By 1929 it had launched its first collection of women’s fashion, and throughout the 1930s it created many of its most iconic items, from the ‘Kelly’ bag (so-called only decades later, when it was made famous by Grace Kelly in 1956), to its famous silk scarves, later moving on into watches, then perfumes and silk ties in the 1940s. By the 1980s Hermès was a globally recognised brand. Its iconic Birkin bag — said to have been inspired after the director of Hermès sat next to Jane Birkin on a plane, where she complained of handbags never having enough pockets — remains a fashion standard to this day, while its engagement of post-modern fashion designer Martin Margiela and later Jean-Paul Gaultier put it at the cutting edge of fashion through the 1990s and beyond. Today it remains among the world’s most valuable brands.

The Jay T. Snider Collection of Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin Autograph document signed (“Errors excepted per BFranklin,” with large paraph) as colonial agent for Georgia, signed a second time (“BFranklin”) in text, one page on a quarter sheet of paper (165 x 295 mm), Philadelphia, 7 October 1776, being an invoice to the Province of Georgia for “three Years Service as their Agent in England”; browned, laid down on heavier stock, closing some tiny losses and fold separations, with some abrasion and loss of surface paper but costing only a single letter of text and a few very short sections of rules. Half green morocco folding-case gilt, chemise. Franklin’s long tenure as Colonial Agent in England for Pennsylvania (1757–1775) is well known and studied, and, because of his entanglement with the Hutchinson letters, so is his service in the same role for Massachusetts (1771–1775). But Franklin also represented the affairs of two other North American colonies in Parliament: New Jersey (1769–1775 [concurrent with his son William’s term as royal governor of that province]) and Georgia (1768–1774). “The Doctor was appointed Georgia agent in the spring of 1768 as a compromise selection, in the hope that his appointment would end a two-year feud between the two houses of the Georgia legislature. For two years the lower house had attempted to appoint Charles Garth, who was already serving as South Carolina's agent. The upper house consistently refused to concur in the appointment of Garth, and Governor James Wright had backed the upper house by persuading officials in London not to receive Garth as Georgia's agent. Hoping to end the political stalemate, Wright responded positively in the early months of 1768 when the lower house proposed Franklin for the agency. Although the upper house exhibited little enthusiasm for the Doctor, its members went along. … The effective date of Franklin's appointment was 1 June 1768, and the ordinance by which it was made, called upon the new agent to ‘follow and pursue all such instructions, as he shall from time to time receive from the General Assembly’ or from the Assembly's Committee of Correspondence, which was to consist of nine men from the lower house and five from the upper house. Seven members of the committee constituted a quorum and could send instructions, as long as at least two members from the upper house were present when the committee met. The new agent's salary was to be £100 per year over and above expenses” (Morgan, pp. 136–37). Franklin’s formal appointment as Agent for Georgia lapsed on 1 June 1771 and was never renewed, although he continued to represent the colony’s interests. In March 1774, Grey Elliott, a Georgia planter resident in London, was appointed as alternate Colonial Agent for Georgia, with power to act in Franklin’s absence. At the time Franklin sent this invoice, he had been back in America for more than a year and was shortly to sail the Atlantic again for Paris. He had evidently received no monies from Georgia for almost six years. Franklin’s neat statement of accounts is headed “Province of Georgia to BFranklin.” The left column lists his fees and expenses, which total £439.5.11: “To three Years Service as their Agent in England at 100£ Sterling per Ann.} £300.0.0 “To Cash paid for a Mace, Gowns, &c.——107.12.9 “To Do. paid Thos. Life Esqr. Sollicetor 16.1.2 “To Coach & Chair hire, Fees at Offices, and other small Expenses————} 15.12.0” In the right column, Franklin details his compensation received, which leaves him a “Balance” due of £219.5.11: “1770 June 20. By a Bill of Exchange———£100.0.0 “Dec. 11. By Ditto2 Bills————£120.0.0” Franklin’s claim for his agreed to annual salary is unremarkable, as are the charges for various “small Expenses” and for the lawyer Thomas Life, who was appointed to serve with Richard Jackson as London agent for Connecticut in 1760, but who frequently acted as Franklin’s lawyer, including during the Hutchinson letters affair. Less justifiable, perhaps, was the more than £107 charged for the ceremonial regalia required for his attendance at Parliament, which must assuredly already been part of his wardrobe. The Franklin Papers record the final settlement for Franklin’s Massachusetts agency, £1,851 allocated by the colony’s House of Representatives on 23 October 1775 (Papers 22:243–244). Massachusetts had a particular motivation to stay in Franklin’s good graces, as he had been appointed, 30 September 1775, together with Benjamin Harrison of Virginia and Thomas Lynch of South Carolina, to a committee of the Continental Congress to meet at Cambridge with George Washington, recently appointed commander in chief of the newly formed Continental Army, and representatives of the New England colonies to address the commander’s concerns and determine “the most effectual method of continuing, supporting, and regulating a continental army.” Indeed, the very day the committee was appointed, Massachusetts congressional delegate John Adams wrote to James Warren, speaker of the Massachusetts House, asking, “Will it not be excellent Politicks to make Dr Franklin welcome by making him a grant of what is due to him from the Province? if you grant it in your provisional Paper, I suppose you can change it for him into continental” (cf. Papers of John Adams 3:173 and Letters of Delegates to Congress 2:80–81 note). Interestingly, Adams’s letter was carried to Warren by Franklin. Georgia may not have felt the same incentive to settle her debt to Franklin; at the least, there is no record in the Papers of Benjamin Franklin that she did so. On 25 October 1776, Franklin sent a copy of his invoice—almost certainly the present document—to Savannah doctor and statesman Noble Wimberly Jones, explaining, “Being just about to embark for Europe, I take the Liberty of troubling you with my Acct. and requesting you would be so good as to procure an Adjustment of it from your Government, and remit the Sum you receive to my Son-in-law Richard Bache, Secretary of the General Post Office Residing in this Place, whose Rect. shall be a Discharge” (Papers 22:670–671). Franklin’s letter to Jones is now held by the Massachusetts Historical Society, but the enclosed accounting is no longer with it. In a note, the Papers point out that a transcription of the invoice “dated Philadelphia, Oct. 7, 1776, which may have been what he enclosed,” was published in The Historical Magazine and Notes and Queries Concerning the Antiquities, History, and Biography of America, vol. 1 (1857), p. 311, “and has since disappeared.” The note describing Franklin’s account with Georgia is signed “W. S. P.,” and the author stated that the document was in his possession. This may well have been William Stevens Perry (1832–1898), an Episcopal bishop and educator; see William Cushing, Initials and Pseudonyms: A Dictionary of Literary Disguises (New York, 1886).

Benjamin Franklin Remarques Sur la Navigation de Terre-Neuve à New-York afin d’éviter les Courrants et les bas-fonds au Sud de Nantuckett et du Banc de George. Paris: Le Rouge, circa 1782 Engraved map (sheet: 470 x 623 mm; platemark: 335 x 380 mm). Separately issued, large-paper copy, with full margins and deckle edges, a manuscript note on the verso: "Presented to the Congl. Library,/by Dr. Thos. Hewson Bache, Philadelphia"; minor dust-soiling, a miniscule ink stain, and few short tears along the edges, far from the printed surface, small pencil notation in lower right, a near pristine copy. Matted. A fine copy of Franklin's second chart of the Gulf Stream, printed in Paris by George-Louis Le Rouge, offered here with full margins and an inscription on the verso from Dr. Thomas Hewson Bache, Franklin's great-great grandson. The chart is both a scientific achievement and a diplomatic statement, asserting America's dominance over the Atlantic while suggesting a special relationship between the United States and her closest ally, France. Benjamin Franklin's chart of the Gulf Stream was first printed in 1768 by Mount and Page in London while Franklin was serving as Deputy Postmaster General. It is the first map to depict the Gulf Stream's flow. Franklin observed the Stream as early as 1726 while travelling to England, though he did not understand what he had seen. Later, he also noted that a sea voyage from London to Boston was quicker than one from Falmouth to New York, and a trip from America to England was shorter than either of these. In a letter to Anthony Todd dated 29 October 1769, he first claimed that this phenomenon was due to the "Gulph Stream" (Papers of Benjamin Franklin, 15:246–247). Franklin knew that a clearer understanding of the Stream would be a useful tool, especially for his postal system. In order to prove his hypothesis Franklin turned to his cousin Captain Timothy Folger, a mariner from Nantucket who was in London at the time. Folger claimed that Nantucket whalers had long followed and avoided the current, and that they would cruise along the Stream's edges while searching for whales. Folger provided Franklin with a chart of the Stream marked in red, as well as written instructions for navigating both in and around it, and for avoiding the dangerous shoals along its path. He also notes the speed of the Stream, and how it diminishes as the current flows away from America and widens. The map names both Franklin and Folger as its authors, a nearly unprecedented acknowledgement of a scientist and a mariner's close collaboration. The chart of the stream and Folger's navigational directions were engraved onto an existing plate—a four-sheet map of the Atlantic, now obsolete, that had originally appeared in the Atlas Maritimus Novus of 1702. Though copies of that map were distributed to mail-packet ship captains, there was little demand for them, and only three copies are now known to exist, all in institutions (Bibliothèque Nationale de France: 2 Copies; Library of Congress). Franklin's second chart, published around 1782, is an original engraving, unlike the previous example that recycled an old copperplate. It is smaller than the Mount and Page version, focusing only on the North American coastline rather than the whole of the Atlantic. It reprints Folger's instructions, but translated clumsily into French. It does not mention Captain Folger by name. Franklin had disowned his cousin long before — the captain was an English loyalist, like many Nantucketers, and he had illicitly traded with the British while under Franklin's protection. Franklin's hope for the Le Rouge map of the Gulf Stream was to increase and improve trade between France and the United States. As such, these maps were printed in limited numbers, intended for distribution among French ship captains. In 1783, Franklin gave a copy of Le Rouge's map to Michel Guillaume de Crèvecoeur, the director of U.S. affairs in the French Ministry of the Marine. Crèvecoeur had been charged with the creation of a packet-boat service between France and America. On that presentation copy, Franklin crossed out the poorly translated directions, rewrote them in the original English, and made a note about the water's temperature—a sign that Franklin had, in fact, conducted some of his own scientific research on the Gulf Stream. The temperature of the Gulf Stream's waters would be further studied by his grand-nephew, Jonathan Williams. Williams's book, Thermometrical Navigation (1793), would prove that mariners could measure the ocean's temperature to locate the Gulf Stream (see lot 150). Franklin would also produce a third edition of this map in 1786, published in an article in the Transactions of the American Philosophical Society (see lot 137 for a related, 1787 example). Dr. Thomas Hewson Bache (1826–1912), was a prominent Philadelphia physician, a Civil War surgeon, the son of Dr. Franklin Bache, and the great-great grandson of Benjamin Franklin. Dr. Bache inscribed this copy to the Library of Congress. The provenance suggests that this is likely one of the copies that Franklin had kept for himself. This is only the second copy of this map offered at auction in the last ten years, according to Rare Book Hub. REFERENCES Pritchard & Taliaferro, Degrees of Latitude, 62; Joyce E. Chaplin.

[John Smith] The Doctrine of Christianity, as Held by the People called Quakers, Vindicated: in Answer to Gilbert Tennent's Sermon on the Lawfulness of War. Philadelphia: Printed by Benjamin Franklin, and David Hall, MDCCCXLVIII (1748) 8vo (181 x 120 mm). Light toning, occasional pale spotting or minor soiling, a tiny marginal hole in leaf A2, leaf C3 trimmed at the fore-edge not affecting the text, the final ten leaves of text with crude paper repairs in the upper margins occasionally affecting the first word in the top line of printed text, leaf H4 rebound on a stub. Modern half gray cloth, gilt-titled spine, marbled paper boards. The first edition of John Smith's defense of Quaker pacifism. Smith's rebuttal of Gilbert Tennent's anti-Quaker treatise, The Association for Defence Farther Enouraged "was printed by Franklin and Hall, despite the fact that it opposed the Association for Defense to which Franklin was passionately committed" (The Library Company of Philadelphia). Smith had 1000 copies printed, 500 of which were to be given away and the rest sent to the author. When the book was delivered, Smith wrote that "the printer's house & indeed my own was like a fair—people came so thick to get them D. Hall told me that he never saw a pamphlet in so much Request at first coming out" (PPL MS: John Smith Diary, IV; Papers III, pp. 242–243, as quoted in Miller). A second edition was printed soon after, as well as two further rebuttals directed at Smith, one by Gilbert Tennent and the other by William Currie. For Gilbert Tennent's opening salvo, see preceding lot. Rare: only two copies of the first edition have appeared at auction since 1907, according to Rare Book Hub.
