About this Item
Description:
128pp. plus two plates (including frontispiece). Errata slip tipped in, additional sheet laid in. Original printed textured wrappers. Minor scuffing, rubbing, and dust-soiling to wrappers. Minor thumb-soiling and some pencil annotations to text. Very good. A substantial and unrecorded cattle auction catalogue advertising the sale of the late Rigdon Huston's Hilldale Herd in Chicago in 1888. The text includes an announcement of the sale by the Huston family, followed by detailed descriptions and breeding records of all eighty-five cows and bulls in the auction. The original owner of the catalogue apparently attended the auction, as he records the auction prices for most of the first twenty-four cows, including the famed 8th Duchess of Hilldale (lot 6), who realized $6600. The two lithographic plates feature Hilldale Herd cows and were produced in Chicago in 1888 - the first reproduced from the BREEDER'S GAZETTE and the second from the NATIONAL LIVE STOCK JOURNAL. Laid in at the rear of this copy is a single-page "Breeding and Calving List" of most of the herd in the auction. No copies in OCLC, auction records, nor in any cattle reference we consulted. Seller Inventory # WRCAM56010
