Photographs and photograph albums

The Photographs and photograph albums series includes images of Henry E. Huntington, Arabella Huntington, Collis P. Huntington, and other members of the Huntington, Metcalf, and Holladay families. The photographs include both formal portraits and candid views. Several of the Metcalf family photograph albums document family trips. Images of Henry E. Huntington also appear outside his own sub-series and are noted in the finding aid. Other subjects include the Patton family; the Shorb ranch and house; Max Farrand; William Hertrich; Grenville M. Dodge; William E. Dunn; William F. Herrin; and Sir Joseph Duveen. The series also includes copies of original photographs not held by The Huntington. The series also contains several cased images, such as daguerreotypes and tintypes, of unidentified people; many are fragile and missing their covers. The Henry E. Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens sub-series includes photographs of the San Marino ranch and gardens, the construction of Huntington's residence, and works in the Art Gallery. The series also includes two undated albums of photographs of the grounds and buildings taken by American photographer Edward S. Curtis.
