Dr John Parker - Chemist, Druggist
A small early 19th century leatherbound note book, inside the front
cover a label reading “Formulary of Dr John Parker, who landed in
Akaroa 12 years before the first 4 ships”, the inscription has been
typed onto the chemistry label of E.J. Thompson, M.P.S. Chemist,
Stafford street, Timaru. Phone 1327. The notebook is 9 x 11.5cms, is
full leather with a small brass clip to close, it contains 111p, many with
hand written recipes for various potions, cordials, salves etc.
John Parker emigrated to N.Z. with his wife [ Sarah Hannah Pavitt]
their two sons and almost the entire Pavitt family, they sailed on
the Monarch and landed in Akaroa on the 2nd April 1850 He at first
described himself as a chemist and later practised as a medical doctor,
he does not seem to have enjoyed great popularity in his profession,
and it maybe he called himself Doctor to obtain registration as the
law said if you had been practising prior to 1857 it entitled you to
automatic registration. He moved to Christchurch in 1862 where he
opened Parker’s Hotel [later to become Zetland Hotel], He died at
his home in 1882 at the age of 66 having suffered from asthma and
dropsy, he had been treating himself.

‘Following the suppression of ‘Oriflamme,’ membership dwindled at
the Caxton Club Press. The remaining members had to agree to a
number of conditions outlined by the
College Council in order to have the suppression lifted, one of those
conditions meant that the title ‘Oriflamme’ could not be used for any
future publications. Ian Milner suggested the name ‘Sirocco’, meaning
a hot wind, suggesting that Glover and Milneer were not entirely
repentant. Produced in only a single issue like its predecessor, Sirocco

369GEISEL THEODOR, [DR SEUSS] original sketch
‘Kiwi in the Hat”
An original sketch drawing by Dr Seuss in 1976 when he travelled
to New Zealand, where he appeared on the country’s nationwide
television talk show “Town Cryer’ hosted by Max Cryer. Dr Seuss told
viewers he was curious about the Kiwi and hoped to see one. During
a break he said to host Max Cryer - “Ill draw you a kiwi in a hat.” he
quickly drew a pencil sketch and when back on live air said “Max I am
going to draw you a picture of a kiwi with a hat on...” he proceeded to
draw over the pencil in black felt pen. The picture was greeted with
enormous amusement. After that night the drawing was nevers seen
and presumed lost until found recently languishing in a cupboard.
The felt pen drawing is on pink paper with some foxing, 49.5 x 65cms,
inscribed on one side “A cat hatted TV Kee Wee for Max from Dr Seuss”,
and on the other side the drawing.

Conditions of sale
Please note: it is assumed that all bidders at auction have read and agreed to the conditions described on this page.
ART+OBJECT directors are available during the auction viewing to clarify any questions you may have.
1.
Registration: Only registered bidders may bid at auction. You are required to
complete a bidding card or absentee bidding form prior to the auction giving your
correct name, address and telephone contact + supplementary information such as
email addresses that you may wish to supply to ART+OBJECT
2.
Bidding: The highest bidder will be the purchaser subject to the auctioneer
accepting the winning bid and any vendor’s reserve having been reached. The
auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid. If this takes place or in the event of a
dispute the auctioneer may call for bids at the previous lowest bid and proceed
from this point. Bids advance at sums decreed by the auctioneer unless signaled
otherwise by the auctioneer. No bids may be retracted. The auctioneer retains the
right to bid on behalf of the vendor up to the reserve figure.
3.
Reserve: Lots are offered and sold subject to the vendor’s reserve price being met.
4.
Lots offered and sold as described and viewed: ART+OBJECT makes all
attempts to accurately describe and catalogue lots offered for sale. Notwithstanding
this neither the vendor nor ART+OBJECT accepts any liability for errors of
description or faults and imperfections whether described in writing or verbally. This
applies to questions of authenticity and quality of the item. Buyers are deemed to
have inspected the item thoroughly and proceed on their own judgment. The act of
bidding is agreed by the buyer to be an indication that they are satisfied on all counts
regarding condition and authenticity.
5.
Buyers premium: The purchaser by bidding acknowledges their acceptance of a
buyers premium of 18.5% plus GST on the premium to be added to the hammer
price in the event of a successful sale at auction. Please consult the relevant auction
catalogue to confirm the premium for each sale.
6.
ART+OBJECT is an agent for a vendor: A+O has the right to conduct the sale of
an item on behalf of a vendor. This may include withdrawing an item from sale for
any reason.
7.
Payment: Successful bidders are required to make full payment immediately post
sale – being either the day of the sale or the following day. If for any reason payment
is delayed then a 20% deposit is required immediately and the balance to 100%
required within 3 working days of the sale date. Payment can be made by Eftpos,
bank cheque or cash. Cheques must be cleared before items are available for
collection. Credit cards are not accepted.
8.
Failure to make payment: If a purchaser fails to make payment as outlined in point
7 above ART+OBJECT may without any advice to the purchaser exercise its right to:
a) rescind or stop the sale, b) re offer the lot for sale to an underbidder or at auction.
ART+OBJECT reserves the right to pursue the purchaser for any difference in sale
proceeds if this course of action is chosen, c) to pursue legal remedy for breach of
contract.
9.
Collection of goods: Purchased items are to be removed from ART+OBJECT
premises immediately after payment or clearance of cheques. Absentee bidders
must make provision for the uplifting of purchased items (see instructions on the
facing page)
10.
Bidders obligations: The act of bidding means all bidders acknowledge that
they are personally responsible for payment if they are the successful bidder. This
includes all registered absentee or telephone bidders. Bidders acting as an agent for
a third party must obtain written authority from ART+OBJECT and provide written
instructions from any represented party and their express commitment to pay all
funds relating to a successful bid by their nominated agent.
11.
Bids under reserve & highest subject bids: When the highest bid is below the
vendor’s reserve this work may be announced by the auctioneer as sold ‘ subject to
vendor’s authority’ or some similar phrase. The effect of this announcement is
to signify that the highest bidder will be the purchaser at the bid price if the vendor
accepts this price. If this highest bid is accepted then the purchaser has entered a
contract to purchase the item at the bid price plus any relevant buyers premium.
Important advice for buyers
The following information does not form part of the conditions of sale, however
buyers, particularly first time bidders are recommended to read these notes.
A.
Bidding at auction: Please ensure your instructions to the auctioneer are clear
and easily understood. It is well to understand that during a busy sale with multiple
bidders the auctioneer may not be able to see all bids at all times. It is recommended
that you raise your bidding number clearly and without hesitation. If your bid is made
in error or you have misunderstood the bidding level please advise the auctioneer
immediately of your error – prior to the hammer falling. Please note that if you have
made a bid and the hammer has fallen and you are the highest bidder you have
entered a binding contract to purchase an item at the bid price. New bidders in
particular are advised to make themselves known to the sale auctioneer who will
assist you with any questions about the conduct of the auction.
B.
Absentee bidding: ART+OBJECT welcomes absentee bids once the necessary
authority has been completed and lodged with ART+OBJECT. A+O will do all it can
to ensure bids are lodged on your behalf but accepts no liability for failure to carry
out these bids. See the Absentee bidding form in this catalogue for information on
lodging absentee bids. These are accepted up to 2 hours prior to the published
auction commencement.
C.
Telephone bids: The same conditions apply to telephone bids. It is highly preferable
to bid over a landline as the vagaries of cellphone connections may result in
disappointment. You will be telephoned prior to your indicated lot arising in the
catalogue order. If the phone is engaged or connection impossible the sale will
proceed without your bidding. At times during an auction the bidding can be frenetic
so you need to be sure you give clear instructions to the person executing your bids.
The auctioneer will endeavour to cater to the requirements of phone bidders but
cannot wait for a phone bid so your prompt participation is requested.
D.
New Zealand dollars: All estimates in this catalogue are in New Zealand dollars.
The amount to be paid by successful bidders on the payment date is the New
Zealand dollar amount stated on the purchaser invoice. Exchange rate variations are
at the risk of the purchaser.
