Autograph letter signed (“G.A. Barlow”), 20 pages, in English, Camp near Paris, July 7, 1815. An extensive eyewitness account of the Battle of Waterloo (a.k.a.

Battle of Belle Alliance) by a British soldier writing to his father.

Barlow writes: “The position of Waterloo upon which the Battle for the destinies of Europe was about to be fought, is nothing more than a range of moderate rising ground ... it was fine commanding, open fighting ground, but traversable in all directions

by Cavalry and Cannon...” The Germans attack first, but, according to Barlow, are forced to quit once the house they were positioned in was set afire by the enemy. Barlow acknowledges they made an admirable defense. After a series of failed attacks by the enemy Cavalry (“[they were not] discontinued until the flower of the French Cavalry both in men and horses were almost wholly destroyed”), the two infantries converge along with cannon fire: “This was indeed the crisis of the eventful day, both armies were in close contact and hot action and the cannonade really tremendous ... in an effort that was to decide the fortune of the battle: an effort worthy of the great cause for which each contested.” Clearly legible and skilfully written, Barlow’s first-hand account of the battle, composed in a letter to his father, is as fine as any published accounts.

(ARCHITECTURE) CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS MEMORIAL

A collection of five large-scale architectural renderings, hand-colored, for the Christopher Columbus Lighthouse Competition, mounted on wood, unsigned.

Between the years 1928-30 some of the world’s most celebrated architects came together to judge a competition for the proposed Columbus Memorial Lighthouse. Judges included Raymond Hood and Eliel Saarinen (who took first and second place in the Chicago Tribune Competition), Horacio Acosta y Lara, and later Frank Lloyd Wright.

Joseph Lea Gleave won first place, but the lighthouse was not built until 1992.

The present architectural plan, unattributed, includes a tall central tower, beneath which stands a five-domed building housing a full narthex with proposed murals (hand-colored), an elaborate altar, and large statue, signalling its use as a mausoleum for the explorer.

Size of largest: 30 3/4 x 64 3/4 inches.

Conditions of Sale LESLIE HINDMAN AUCTIONEERS, INC. AS AGENT The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.

BEFORE THE SALE Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above.

All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references.

Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment.

Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid.

Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding.

Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller.

With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot.

In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount.

Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute.
