The mission specialised in educational, literary and philanthropic work and Dr Rieder was in fact, not a theologian or missionary, but a teacher of mathematics, physics and science to high school students attached to the SOAM. His guiding principles were 'Creating understanding between different cultures' and 'Building bridges between East and West'. While in Qingdao, Dr Rieder collected a wide variety of Chinese art. The objects in the collection thus offer a unique window into the type of antiques that were on the market in Qingdao in the second quarter of the 20th century. As well as demonstrating his passion for Chinese art, his collection also reveals the personal friendships Dr Rieder forged with local artists, some of whom he knew from his teaching activities. Dr Rieder had a scholarly approach to studying his collection. Alongside many of his objects, meticulous notes can sometimes be found detailing his art historical commentaries. The collection was hence Dr Rieder's gateway to the history and culture of China. Objects from the collection were exhibited at the Kunsthaus in Interlaken, Switzerland in 2006 and 2018.來源:Walter Rieder博士(1890-1986)舊藏1930年10月至1951年12月間,Walter Rieder博士(1890-1986)於山東青島的瑞士東亞使團 (SOAM) 任職。該組織專注於教育、文學和慈善工作,但Rieder博士並非作為傳教士,而是作為一名教師,教授高中數學、物理及科學科目,並以促進'文化間交流理解'和'搭建東西方文化的橋樑'為己任。在其旅居青島期間,Rieder博士大量收藏了各類中國藝術品。通過本次拍賣所呈現的拍品,我們得以一窺二十世紀後半葉的青島古董市場。Rieder博士的藏品不僅展示了他對中國藝術的熱情,還反應了其任教期間與當地的文人逸士建立的個人友誼。 Rieder博士還對其藏品進行了學術研究,並對很多物品留下了詳細筆記。也因為此,這些藏品也成為了Rieder博士了解中國歷史和文化的門戶。本次上拍的拍品曾於2006年與2018年於瑞士因特拉肯的美術館展出。Ceremonial suits of armour such as the present lot were an essential part of the Imperial wardrobe during the Qing dynasty. Throughout the year, a wide range of ceremonies were held in the Imperial Palace and hundreds of people were called to assemble in the great courtyards to take part in official rituals. Surviving evidence suggests that Manchu military uniforms were identical to their riding costumes with added coats of chain mail. Dress or parade armour did not appear until after the conquest. At that time, the Manchu adopted Chinese-style armour of metal plates covered with padded textiles which had been used by the Han infantry since the 3rd century BC. Overlapping metal plates afforded protection from arrows, particularly those shot from powerful crossbows. Ceremonial armour worn by guards at the Forbidden City and high-ranking members of the Qing society was derived from Ming dynasty prototypes and featured netal plates covered with luxury silks and gilt brass fittings. Participants of different ranks were distinguished by the design of their armour. The present set, made of satin padded with cotton, lined with blue silk and embroidered with four-clawed dragons in roundels, suggests that it might have been worn by a member of the Imperial nobility or a high-ranking official. A related silk armour, 19th century, similarly embroidered with dragon medallions, in the Minneapolis Institute of Art is illustrated by R.D.Jacobsen, Imperial Silks, vol.1, 2000, p.342, fig.56b.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865). Autograph document signed three times ("Lincoln p. d[efendant]"). [Tazewell County, IL, ca 1 May 1865]. 1 page, 4to, docketed by Lincoln and the Tazewell County Clerk verso ("Filed May 1. 1854 [corrected to "1855"]), slight browning, separations to folds. Provenance: Sold Sotheby's New York, 25 April 1989, sale 5837, lot 71. Lincoln's pleas on behalf of the defendant in the case of Samuel Hitchcock, administrator of Isabella Hitchcock, v. William C. Glasgow, an action of "debt upon record." Lincoln writes out three separate please on the same sheet, signing each. AN OHIO JUDGMENT. Lincoln had appeared for Glasgow in two cases heard before the Tazewell County court in October 1854. The court decided against Glasgow in one decision, awarding the plaintiff $387.45 plus costs. In this second case, Hitchcock v. Glasgow, Lincoln was more successful. The case was continued until spring 1855, when Lincoln filed these pleas, arguing that the Hitchcocks could not recover "Dept on Record" as there was no valid "record," since Glasgow was an Illinois resident at the time the Ohio court awarded the Hitchcock estate its judgement, and had "never appeared in person to said suit, nor authorized any person to appear for him, therein; and this he is ready to verify." The plaintiff dismissed the action on 1 May 1855 when the case came up. Lincoln Day by Day, p. 129, 145.
