Manuscripts

This small collection includes Charis Wilson's typed journal for the eight-month trip she and Weston took during 1941 for the "Whitman" tour as well as supporting material including correspondence, the trip itinerary, notes, photographs, letters of introduction for Weston, newspaper clippings, brochures and miscellaneous ephemera, a negative list, and a list of illustrations for Leaves of Grass with Whitman quotations selected by Wilson. The journal typescript draft contains two black and white photographs. Also included is correspondence between Weston, Wilson, George Macy, and Merle Armitage regarding the Limited Editions Club project as well as letters Weston and Wilson received during the "Whitman" trip. Among the authors of letters of introduction for Weston are photographer and curator, Beaumont Newhall, and artist Charles Sheeler. The material was kept in the order in which it came to the Huntington Library. The original folders were also retained (if present). The Huntington Library also has Charis Wilson's journal (typescript) from her and Edward Weston's Guggenheim-funded trip throughout California and the West in 1937 to 1939, which resulted in the book California and the West.
