  George Washington, 1732-1932 : an exhibition at the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, San Marino, California (3 copies)

  Rare Books

  Collection of more than 80 catalogs and gallery guides of exhibitions installed from 1929 to 2022 at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California. The catalogs were intended for the reference use of the Library's Chief Curator of Rare Books and are often annotated with the call numbers of the Huntington holdings ues in the exhibits. The catalogs represented here focus primarily on the Library exhibit spaces: the Main Library Exhibit Hall and the West Hall. Later publications also record exhibits in the Dibner Hall of Sciences and the Boone Gallery. A few concern related exhibition material in the Art Collections. These catalogs represent the most comprehensive record of which library copies were displayed, especially for the years 1931-1975. Notations about the availability of photostats, facsimiles and slides as well as installation dates are included on some catalogs. Some catalogs have multiple copies marked for the Curator, Rare Book Stacks and the Exhibition Office. Material dated after 1980 shows fewer annotations, and are primarily in the form of gallery guides, rather than catalog listings of items on display. Additional unannotated Huntington publications regarding the collections are also included (e.g. Preliminary handbook of the art collections).

  Visual Materials

  The Harold A. Parker Studio Collection of Negatives consists of 5157 glass plate negatives, film negatives, and panoramic negatives, 1889-1949, that depict commercial, residential and landscape sites in and around Pasadena and Southern California. The images provide a look at the commercial, residential and social development of Pasadena and surrounding areas during the early years of the twentieth century. The collection is especially rich in images of residential architecture in Pasadena, Altadena, and San Marino; images of Lake Tahoe; depictions of, and activities at, the Raymond, Maryland, and Huntington Hotels in Pasadena; and the commercial, social and cultural landscapes of Pasadena. The collection also provides, through its breadth and depth of subject matter, an example of the career activities of a commercial photographer in Southern California in the early years of the twentieth century.
