Collection of Howard Edwards Huntington family photographs

Visual Materials

A collection of 80 photographs centered around the Howard Edwards Huntington family, including portraits of his mother, Mary Alice Prentice Huntington, her siblings, and her parents, Edwin D. Prentice and Clarissa "Clara" Stoddard. There is one portrait of Henry Edwards Huntington, sitting at a desk, approximately 1890s. Other images are: snapshots of the Howard Huntington family in groups; portraits of Howard and Leslie Thayer Green Huntington and their children; and images of Howard's granddaughter Wendy Lee Huntington as a child. There are a few photographs of Howard's sister Marian Huntington (1883-1973) at different ages, and several snapshots of unidentified children and adults (possibly including James R. Brehm). Three photographic postcards are included, with correspondence from Marian Huntington and Leslie Green Huntington. The collection includes two pieces of ephemera: a memorial leaflet for Howard Edwards Huntington, 1922, and the birth certificate for his son, Henry E. "Ted" Huntington II (1921-1978). There is one cabinet card photograph of Princess Clara Huntington Hatzfeldt with two other women by Carleton Watkins, and two studio portraits by photographer George Steckel.
