First edition. Future war novel depicting an Anglo-American victory over the rest of Europe in a highly destructive war caused by European imperialism. "An Anglo-American alliance is established to rule the world until the 'lesser breeds' are capable of ruling themselves. This provides one of the most jingoistic statements of Anglo-Saxon supremacy during the period." - Anatomy of Wonder 1981 1-168. "Oddly enough Waterloo has only adapted with the most overblown language and development a dime novel of the Frank Reade Jr. type to a more adult novel comic Irishman and all. Almost unreadable." - Bleiler Science-Fiction: The Early Years 2307. Anatomy of Wonder 1976 2-158. Clareson The Emergence of American Science Fiction: 1880-1915 pp. 265-67.

1688Rare explanatory guide to Jan Willem Pienemans celebrated painting of the Battle of Waterloo published shortly after the Napoleonic Wars for visitors viewing the monumental canvas. The work is an important document of early nineteenth-century historical memory and Dutch national identity surrounding the victory over Napoleon and the role of the Prince of Orange at Waterloo.Original blue paper binding with smudges octavo edition 18 x 11 cm. NL Zeldzame beschrijvende uitgave bij het beroemde panoramische schilderij van de Slag bij Waterloo door Jan Willem Pieneman uitgegeven te Amsterdam omstreeks 1825 door C.A. Spin. Het werk diende als gids of toelichting voor bezoekers van het monumentale historiestuk dat kort na de Napoleontische oorlogen grote publieke belangstelling trok. Het schilderij was langere tijd een van de belangrijkste werken van het Museum van Levende Nederlandsche Meesters in Haarlem. In 1885 werd het overgebracht naar het indertijd nieuw opgerichte Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Daar is het met zijn afmetingen van ruim vijf bij acht meter het grootste schilderij van de collectie. Het schilderij hangt permanent opgesteld in de Waterloozaal op de eerste verdieping.Jan Willem Pieneman 17791853 behoort tot de belangrijkste Nederlandse historieschilders van de negentiende eeuw. Zijn enorme doek De Slag bij Waterloo voltooid in de jaren 1820 verbeeldt het beslissende moment waarop de Prins van Oranje gewond raakt tijdens de slag van 18 juni 1815. Het schilderij groeide uit tot een nationaal icoon van de Nederlandse bijdrage aan de nederlaag van Napoleon.Dergelijke beschrijvingen werden verkocht aan bezoekers van tentoonstellingen en bevatten doorgaans een uitleg van de afgebeelde figuren militaire posities en historische gebeurtenissen op het doek. Ze vormen interessante voorbeelden van vroege negentiende-eeuwse kunst- en tentoonstellingscultuur in Nederland. Napoleon Bonaparte. unknown
