Provenance
Gift of The Gamble House Conservancy, July 2021. In 1968, the Greene and Greene Library (later the Greene and Greene Archives) was established to bring together drawings, photographs, and other records of the Greenes' work. The core of the initial collection was the gift by David and Mary Gamble of drawings and photographs of The Gamble House. Subsequently more than 400 donors contributed to the collection, most importantly the families of Charles and Henry Greene, who donated personal correspondence, family photographs, drawings and sketches, and numerous other materials. Besides the Greene and Gamble families, other clients and later owners of Greene and Greene buildings gifted drawings and other records. The Greene and Greene Collection also contains a research collection on Greene and Greene, comprised of copies of original materials from other institutions and other secondary materials. The Greene and Greene collection has physically resided at The Huntington Library since 1987. However, during that time it remained the property of and was administered by the Greene and Greene Archives of The Gamble House, School of Architecture, University of Southern California until 2019 when ownership was transferred to the Gamble House Conservancy. In July 2021, The Huntington acquired the collection from the Gamble House Conservancy.

    Albums of European views

    Visual Materials

    Two albums of commercial photographs from Europe, especially Spain, Italy, England, Switzerland, and France. The first album includes photographs of Granada, focusing on the Alhambra, city streets, and ancient and modern buildings. Some of the images have been amateurishly hand-tinted, and several bear the mark of Linares fotografo. Photographs of the French Riviera by "ND Phot" show Nice, Menton, La Turbie, and Monaco, with special attention shown to Monte Carlo and the Casino there. Photographs of Naples, some by Alinari and some by Sommer, show street scenes, portraits of locals, a funeral, piazzas, and monuments such as Forte S. Elmo and Galleria Umberto I. Other subjects in the first volume in smaller numbers are Genoa, Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Montblanc. The second album begins with photographs of Rome including several photographs of marble sculptures by Cenova and Bernini. Photographs of Florence show palaces, squares, monuments, the Campanile, and the Duomo. The majority of pictures of Lucerne are by Bruno and Arthur Wehrli, known professionally as the Gebrüder Wehrli. A small number of photographs of palaces in France, including Fountainbleau, is followed by views of London. The London photographs are signed variously by "L. S. & P. Co." and "Stereoscopic Co." (which both seem to be the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company), "G. W. W.", "F. F. & Co.", and "J. V."
