Description:
- Drawn from a higher vantage point than DR1985:0288, this drawing depicts the widely photographed south facade of Fallingwater, with its cantilevered stepped terraces, supported in part by parapets which act as upturned carrying beams, and dominant central chimney into which main beams are anchored. The lesser beam rests on an existing boulder (Zevi & Kaufmann, Jr., 1962, 22-23; Hoffman, 1978, 13, 40).

DR1989:0026:001-051
Description:
- This group is comprised of drawings and photographs for Francis Fowke's winning entry in the 1864 competition for the Natural History and Patent Museums, South Kensington, London, and correspondence and pamphlets related to John Liddell's subsequent claim (1866) of sole authorship of the external treatment of Fowke's design. A hand-coloured reprographic copy (DR1989:0026:005) is apparently an elevation for Fowke's final design for the Natural History and Patent Museum, and a photograph of the section through the Patent Museum (DR1989:0026:001) is also possibly for Fowke's final design. Other drawings (DR1989:0026:003, DR1989:0026:006, and DR1989:0026:007 R/V) and another photograph (DR1989:0026:002) are possibly for preliminary designs for the competition. Many of the letters are by John Liddell to the First Commissioner of Works (W.F. Cowper and later, Lord John Manners), and Alfred Waterhouse asserting his claim to authorship of the external treatment of Fowke's design (DR1989:0026:013, DR1989:0026:015, DR1989:0026:017, DR1989:0026:029, DR1989:0026:031-33, DR1989:0026:036, DR1989:0026:040). The First Commissioner's secretaries' replies to these are also included (DR1989:0026:016, DR1989:0026:035, DR1989:0026:041-043). Liddell compiled many of these letters, as well as some not included in this group, into a pamphlet in order to publicize his case (DR1989:0026:020, DR1989:0026:023-24, DR1989:0026:026-27, DR1989:0026:039, DR1989:0026:044-045). There are ten copies of this transcribed correspondence as well letters to the editors of four London newspapers (DR1989:0026:022, DR1989:0026:025, DR1989:0026:028, DR1989:0026:030, DR1989:0026:051). Also included is Liddell's correspondence to two of the competition judges (DR1989:0026:019, DR1989:0026:037, DR1989:0026:038) and several Members of Parliament (DR1989:0026:014, DR1989:0026:018, DR1989:0026:021, DR1989:0026:034) solicting support for his claims. A letter from Fowke to Liddell accompanies the payment of Liddell's portion of the competition premium (DR1989:0026:009). Three letters discuss a recommendation for Liddell from Sir Henry Cole (DR1989:0026:010-012). Pamphlets include two copies of pamphlets (one incomplete) published in 1863 by the House of Commons describing Sir Richard Owens' ideas for the Natural History Museum, with hand-coloured plans and sections drawn by Sir Henry A. Hunt and printed by Henry Hansard (DR1989:0026:046-47); two copies of the competition guidelines, each annotated with sketches, probably by Fowke and Liddell (DR1989:0026:048-049); and two copies of the description of Fowke's design, one with his motto and modifications (DR1989:0026:050 ?). The tabletop designs on the verso of some of the sketches date to 1907 and are unrelated to the other material in the collection (DR1989:0026:006 R/V and DR1989:0026:007 R/V).

Description:
- This watercolour rendering depicts a welcome arch composed of a large central barrel vaulted archway which spans the street, with a lower parallel barrel vaulted archway over the sidewalks at each side. The central archway is surmounted by a dome on a drum and the entire structure is supported by four rows of columns. The arch is embellished with Gothic-inspired features such as blind tracery and pointed arches as well as shields, including two inscribed with the letter "L", flags, floral garlands, the British royal coat of arms, and possibly lights. Staffage indicates the large scale of the arch.
