Seeds of The Huntington Michael G Axtman

Seeds of The Huntington portrays a season on the grounds of The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in California through the eyes of an artist. There is much to savor in the fifty pages of this little book featuring a "meandering tour" of drawings, cartoons, pictures, upbeat candor, facts and inspirational thoughts all spiced with a tiny bit of fantasy. Its all-black-and-white format preserves vibrancy and nuances of photos and drawings without compromise of any color quality issues. Beyond strictly a map guide, Seeds of The Huntington will give you more savor even after your first visit and acquaintance with The Huntington's attractions including their new landmark Chinese scholar's garden Liu Fang Yuan. This book should be a part of every Huntington devotee's library. And for those unfamiliar with The Huntington, it will serve as a very personable introduction to this great gift of one of America's foremost art and literature collectors of the early twentieth century. Seeds? It's a RAKSAB concept; the book explains. Rated G, for everybody. There is no discretionary or inappropriate content in the art or text.
