Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:Nineteen Nineteen, published to accompany a centennial exhibition of the Huntington Library, Art Collections, 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 Huntington's vast collections of books, manuscripts, photographs, ephemera, and art, many of them never exhibited or published before.
"Nineteen Nineteen" is organized around five broad themes: Fight, Return, Map, Move, and Build, drawn from the millions of documents, objects, paintings, ephemera, photographs, and volumes found in The Huntington's archives, galleries, and rare book stacks. "We wanted to harness the large number of 1919-related items here into something provocative, allowing the visitor to interpret the period in a fluid way. Rather than telling a neat, resolved story, we tried to recapture the jarring experience of life during a year that everyone understood was an inflection point for world history," said Glisson. "Empires had fallen in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Millions had died fighting and in a flu pandemic. Delegates at the Paris Peace Conference tried to sew a tattered world back together. Like today, people felt that irrevocable change was underway. The issues of 2019"€"immigrant detention, women's rights, and the fight for a living wage"€"were equally pressing in 1919."
