The transformative events and harsh realities of the year 1919 still reverberate a century later. Nineteen Nineteen  published to accompany a centennial exhibition of the Huntington Library  Art Museum  and Botanical Gardens in San Marino  California  explores the institution and its founding through the lens of this single  tumultuous year. The fully illustrated catalog features works from The Huntingtons vast collections of books  manuscripts  photographs  ephemera  and art  many of them never exhibited or published before. Highlights include German propaganda posters  labor manifestos  personal mementos from suffrage campaigns  firsthand chronicles of World War I and the papers of T.E. Lawrence (better known as \"Lawrence of Arabia\"). Artworks by Abraham Walkowitz  John Singer Sargent  Joseph Pennell  Earl Horter  and David Bomberg respond to the unsettling experience of modern life and to a postwar world desperately trying to piece its shards back together. James Glisson is the former Interim Chief Curator of American Art at The Huntington. Jennifer A. Watts is the former Curator of Photography and Visual Culture at The Huntington. Karen R. Lawrence assumed her position as the ninth president of The Huntington Library  Art Collections  and Botanical Gardens on Sept. 1  2018  following a decade as president at Sarah Lawrence  a small  highly regarded liberal arts college in Yonkers  New York.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45655957045301,"sku":"ByrdShop_087328268X","price":247.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780873282680.jpg?v=1781946461","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/nineteen-nineteen-9780873282680","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
