“Not till we are lost, in other words, not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.” Henry David Thoreau in Walden.
A recent exhibit at the Huntington, in San Marino, CA, entitled Storm Cloud: Picturing the Origins of Our Climate Crisis, traces the rise of environmental awareness in Britain and America over the course of the nineteenth century through the period's art and literature.
A book accompanies the exhibit, with essays by environmental writers, highlighting examples of art and literature from the Huntington’s collections.
