Although he traveled widely and frequently during the mid- and late nineteenth century, he shunned new artistic concepts and styles. As a staunch academician in technique and manner, Huntington understood that proper draftsmanship was at the core of accomplished painting. He sketched throughout the course of his life and his extant drawings number over a thousand. This page is from one of Huntingtons sketchbooks that contains forty-one drawings in graphite, some in a panorama format. The sketches are primarily of scenic locations in New York State including, Cornwall, Walton, and Mohonk subjects.

Temple of Khonsu at Karnak, 1887. Graphite on medium, cream, slilghtly textured, wove paper, Sheet (uneven): 10 5/8 x 13 3/4 in. (27 x 34.9 cm). Made during a trip down the Nile, these two precise drawings by Edwin Howland Blashfield depict architectural landmarks of Egypt. In his image of the twelfth-century Coptic monastery Deir el-Shuhada, the artist juxtaposed linear hatch marks with dark shading to capture the play of light amid the transept arches. He also included a careful study of a mural painting of Saint Stephen, as well as color and light notations. (This drawing helped archaeologists in the 1960s discover the mural, which had been covered with whitewash in the intervening years.) In Temple of Khonsu at Karnak, Blashfield recorded the famous ancient forest” of colossal columns, focusing primarily on their regularized geometric arrangement rather than their decorative hieroglyphics.
