Before we start today's auction let me remind all participants that experts who are authoritative in their fields have authenticated each item. Tax attorneys will also be present at the end of the auction to answer all tax and audit questions. Please note that you can view close-ups of each item on the audiovisual equipment attached to walls throughout the room. Please keep the volume of the headsets just audible, however, as not to disturb your neighbor. I am now honored to say that all auguries for this auction are excellent. Let us begin! Our first item is an authentic atlas of the stars drawn by a famous astronomer in the year 1414. We were astounded to have this item be available to you all.
