With its unique combination of library, art collections and botanical gardens, the Huntington is truly one of the most remarkable and unusual institutions in the world. Born of the initiative and the twin passions of one man, Henry E. Huntington, it houses today collections through which the whole history of British and American civilization can be read. Highlight of the Huntington Gallery is what is perhaps the most splendid collection of English 18th and 19th century painting to be found outside Europe, with works by the masters ofportraiture, including Lawrence's Pinkieand Gainsborough's famous Blue Boy, alongside landscapes by Constable, 'Turner and Palmer. A fine collection offurniture and decorative arts complements this display, while in the Library the treasures are no less impressive. Here are thousands ofrare books and manuscripts, from the earliest hand-worked texts to first editions of the present day- the beautiful Ellesmere Chaucer, jewel-colored Books of Hours, a Gutenburg Bible, an unrivalled Shakespeare collection including the First Folio and rare quartos, while from the New World come the writings of Washington, Franklin and Lincoln, maps and literature of the goldrush and the settlers, early editions of literary giants like Melville, 'Twain and HenryJames. And as if that were not enough, the `outdoor art' of the Huntington is just as striking, with rare and beautiful plants in cultivation everywhere. The splendor of the Rose and Camellia Gardens, the tranquility of the Japanese Garden and the strangeness of the Desert andJungle Gardens - these and many others combine to make a year-round living show guaranteed to take the breath away. This book can offer only a sample of the glories of the Huntington - a visual reminder of the treasures to be found there, and an invitation to go back again and again. This revised reprint includes a new section on the Virginia Steele Scott Gallery of American Art. Opened in 1984, the gallery houses some fifty paintings which represent the very best in American art from about 1740 to 1940. It is indeed a major new offering from one of the great institutions of the world. Size: 4to.
