Albertus Seba Locupletissimi rerum naturalium thesauri accurata descriptio – Naaukeurige beschryving van het schatryke kabinet der voornaamste seldzaamheden der natuur

From Wikipedia:

Albertus Seba had published a Thesaurus of animal specimens with beautiful engravings. The full name of the Thesaurus is, with a dual Latin–Dutch title, Locupletissimi rerum naturalium thesauri accurata descriptio – Naaukeurige beschryving van het schatryke kabinet der voornaamste seldzaamheden der natuur (Accurate description of the very rich thesaurus of the principal and rarest natural objects). The last two of the four volumes were published after his death (1759 and 1765). Today, the original 446-plate volume is on permanent exhibit at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague, Netherlands.

Nate D. Sanders Auctions just sold this Albert Einstein autograph on a photo for $125,000:

Very rare Albert Einstein autograph on his photo, on the occasion of the Nobel Prize winner playfully sticking out his tongue to a group of photographers on his 72nd birthday. Photo was snapped on 14 March 1951 by Arthur Sasse, a UPI photographer whose employers were at first hesitant about publishing the iconoclastic image of Einstein; when they did, Einstein was so amused by it that he ordered several prints to give out to close friends. This image is unlike most which crop the photo to show only Einstein. Here, the photo is shown in its full context with Einstein seated between Dr. Frank Aydelotte, head of the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, and Aydelotte’s wife, after celebrating his birthday at the Princeton Club. Photo is signed along the left margin ”A. Einstein .51”, indicating he signed the image shortly after it was taken. Albert Einstein autograph photo measures 7” x 10”. Very good to near fine condition. Extraordinarily rare Albert Einstein autograph on his photo, the most famous and beloved image of him.  Sold for $125,000.

Thomas Jefferson signed book

In addition to being the United States’ 3rd President and the author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson conducted the first census of the population of the United States. The census was used to distribute seats in the House of Representatives among the States. However, there was controversy over the census because it was believed that not all people had been accounted for, particularly among the African American community. This was due to a dispersed population, poor transportation links, limitations of technology and individual refusal to participate.

In our September auction we were fortunate enough to have a magnificent Thomas Jefferson signed book. It was an extremely rare Thomas Jefferson signed first edition of the first U.S. census, one of only a handful of Thomas Jefferson signed book copies sold at auction in the last 40 years. This Thomas Jefferson signed book sold for $66,435.

Locupletissimi rerum naturalium thesauri Locupletissimi rerum naturalism thesauri Thomas Jefferson signed book Thomas Jefferson Scarce Signed 1st Edition of the First U.S. Census -- One of Only a Handful Signed & Ratified by Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson Signed Book Being a 1st Edition of the First U.S. Census — One of Only a Handful Thomas Jefferson Signed Book s Ratified by Jefferson

As Secretary of State, Jefferson called for the first official census, and ratified the results of only a handful, this being one of them, signed boldly ”Th: Jefferson” on page 56. Published in Philadelphia: Childs and Swaine, 1791. Full title reads, ”Return of the Whole Number of Persons Within the Several Districts of the United States, According to ‘An Act Providing for the Enumeration of the Inhabitants of the Unites States’. Printed in a small number for distribution by Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State, and from his direct descendant, Thomas Jefferson Coolidge Jr., with Mr. Coolidge’s crested label to front pastedown. Bound in 19th century half-morocco and marbled boards, book measures 5” x 7.25”. This copy appears to be one of the very first printings of the first edition, as it lacks the tipped-in late-returning results from South Carolina often found on page 54. The lower margins of pages 34, 42 and 43 have been shaved by binder, otherwise copy is near fine with a touch of toning and foxing. Volume also includes a press copy of an autograph letter signed by Jefferson, affixed to rear endpaper, dated 8 October 1797, measuring 6.5” x 7.75”. Letter concerns a quarterly dividend of ”a few dollars over 300”, payable to Col. James Monroe. A rare opportunity for the very first census of the United States, signed by its 3rd President, with other such copies selling for approx. $100,000. With provenance from Christie’s 21 June 2013 sale, lot 147, where this Thomas Jefferson signed book sold for $62,500.
