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.

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

proceeds therefrom other than our commissions, we
may bid therefor to protect such interest. CONSIGNORS

sale, the original purchase price will be refunded.
If, prior to receiving such notice from the original

have any further questions, please visit our website
at www.bonhams.com or call our Client Services
Department at +1 (800) 223 2854 ext. 3550.
Catalogs
Before each auction we publish illustrated catalogs.
Our catalogs provide descriptions and estimated values
for each lot. A lot may refer to a single item or to a
group of items auctioned together. The catalogs also
include the dates and the times for the previews and
auctions. We offer 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.
Except as expressly set forth in the Conditions of Sale,
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 staff 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 low and high value estimates
for each lot, exclusive of the buyers premium and tax.
The estimates are provided as an approximate guide
to current market value based primarily on previous
auction results for comparable pieces, 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
Unless indicated by the symbol next to the lot
number, which denotes no reserve, all lots in the
catalog are subject to a reserve. The reserve is the
minimum auction price that the consignor is willing to
accept for a lot. This amount is condential and does
not exceed the low estimate value.
Auction Houses Interest in Property Offered at Auction
On occasion, Bonhams may offer a lot in which it
has an ownership interest, in whole or in part. Such
property, if any, is identied in the catalog with a
symbol next to the lot number.
Similarly, Bonhams may have an economic interest in a lot
beyond its commission as a result of making an advance
against anticipated proceeds to the consignor which
is secured by the consigned property or where it has
guaranteed the consignor a minimum auction price for
consigned property. Such property, if any, is identied in
the catalog with a symbol next to the lot number.
Bidding at Auction
At Bonhams, you can bid in many ways: in person,
via absentee bid, over the phone, or via Bonhams live
online bidding facility. Absentee bids can be submitted in
person, online, via fax or via email.

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 by placing
responsive or consecutive bids for a lot 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 for the rst time,
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 auction price that you wish to
pay, exclusive of buyers 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
auction online 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 staff 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, at offsite auction locations, and at our San Francisco,

Little is known about the British photographer, William Pryor Floyd, who
had a photography studio in Macau and Hong Kong in the latter part of
the 1800s. Beginning in the 16th century, Macau was under Portuguese
control, and became a bustling, multi-cultural city and an important
trading port with India, Southern China, Japan and Southeast Asia. The
images of the panoramas and individual sites in this album capture a
combination of the beauty and exotic characteristics of this place in the
late 19th century.
