American arts & crafts : virtue in design : a catalogue of the Palevsky collection and related works at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Rare Books
Influenced by developments in Europe, American proponents in the late 19th and early 20th centuries successfully promoted the "minor arts" as fine art hand-wrought by individual craftsmen, extolling the virtue of everyday objects and a return to honest, simple materials and workmanship. The designs are, perhaps, the closest embodiment there is of "American style". Included are furniture, ceramics, metalwork, glass, books, drawings and textiles by Gustav Stickley, Greene & Greene, Frank Lloyd Wright, Tiffany Studios and many others. This book looks at their work.

William Morris Papers
Manuscripts
This collection contains the archival and manuscript portion of the Sanford and Helen Berger collection and primarily contains manuscripts, correspondence, and ephemera created by or related to 19th century English artist, decorator, poet, and printer William Morris (1834-1896) and his circle. Though this collection is named the William Morris Papers, the Bergers also collected manuscript and printed material related to nineteenth and twentieth century British Pre- Raphaelites, Fine Printing and private presses (Kelmscott Press and the Doves Press), architects, illustrators, and the Arts & Crafts movement (Morris & Co.). The William Morris Papers are perhaps unique among the Huntington's other holdings in that they are an integral part of a much larger collection of stained glass, furniture, tiles, pottery, art work and printed books, making it one of the premier nineteenth century Arts & Crafts collections in the world. The papers consist of the following series: 1. Manuscripts (Boxes 1-2, Oversize Material Box 19, Folder 1)) are arranged alphabetically by author and title. Included in this series are: a minute book, notes, personal reminiscences, lectures, poems, prose narratives and essays. This series includes manuscripts by many authors, most notably by: Edward Burne- Jones, Sydney C. Cockerell, Walter Crane, John Henry Dearle, William F. De Morgan, Frederick E. Startridge, Alice Macdonald Fleming, William Minto, William Morris, Eden Phillpotts and Charles Canning Winmill. 2. Correspondence (Boxes 3-13) is arranged alphabetically by author. This series includes letters from notable people in the literary, arts, fine printing, publishing and architectural fields in England during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including: Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Ford Madox Brown, Edward Burne-Jones, Georgiana Burne-Jones, T.J. Cobden-Sanderson, Sydney C. Cockerell, Walter Crane, Evelyn De Morgan, William F. De Morgan, H. Buxton Forman, Arthur Hughes, Edward R. Hughes, William Holman Hunt, W.R. Lethaby, J.W. Mackail, John Everett Millais, Jane Burden Morris, May Morris, William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Simeon Solomon, Emery Walker, Philip Webb and Charles Canning Winmill. 3. Ephemera and Miscellaneous (Boxes 14-18, Oversize Material Box 19, Folders 2-5) is arranged by subject. It comprises approximately 300 items and includes: photocopies of Account Books and various letters, printed material, material removed from scrapbooks, photographs, clippings, material related to Philip Henderson's Morris biography and material related to Peter Stansky's work on The House of Wolfings.
