“Nineteen Nineteen”

Travel back a hundred years as the Huntington Library marks its centennial with an in-depth examination of the year 1919. The same year that the paperwork was inked to turn the Huntington’s San Marino estate into a public institution, the U.S. was dealing with the fallout of World War I, Halley’s Comet came to visit, the suffragist movement reached a pivotal turning point and the Red Car was rolling all over town—all of which are represented here through books, posters, photos and all sorts of other ephemera.
