Courtesy of the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, San Marino, Calif.

Located in San Marino, Calif., the cultural center known as the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens was created in 1919 by Henry E. Huntington and left as a public trust upon his death in 1927. Huntington, a railroad tycoon, began collecting books early in the 20th century, and the library is rich in rare books and manuscripts, mostly English and American. The institution also contains collections of incunabula (books printed before 1500) and an outstanding collection of portraits and landscapes by such English painters as Thomas Gainsborough, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sir Thomas Lawrence, and George Romney. During his lifetime, Huntington purchased, among others, the entire collections of the E. Dwight Church Library of Americana and the Wilberforce Eames collection of 12,000 early American imprints. The library and the mansion in which it is housed were deeded to the U.S. public in perpetuity.
