<head>Scope and Contents note</head>
<p>The John Taylor Johnston Collection consists of travel journals, visitor books, correspondence, family histories, and other unpublished and published documents relating to the life, travels and family history of John Taylor Johnston. Travel journals written by John Taylor Johnston between 1832 and 1869 describe his leisure and business trips. Handwritten text and faded ink make some entries difficult to read; however, some are supplemented by typed transcripts. Visitor’s books record attendees of regularly hosted viewings of Johnston’s collection and artist receptions held at his residence. Typed transcripts of correspondence and family records found in Series III and IV provide insight into the personal life and family history of John Taylor Johnston. Series V contains miscellaneous documentation including clippings, an auction catalog, obituary, etc.</p>

<head>Biographical/Historical note</head>
<p>John Taylor Johnston was a founder of The Metropolitan Museum of Art was elected its first President in 1870. He held this position until he retired in 1889; the institution’s Trustees subsequently voted him Honorary President for Life.</p>
<p>Johnston was born April 8, 1820 in New York to John Johnston, a successful businessman and patron of the arts, and Margaret Taylor. He attended Edinburgh High School in Scotland, the University of the City of New York (known today as New York University) and Yale Law School. In 1843 he was admitted to the bar and practiced law until 1848, when he was named President of what was to become the Central Railroad of New Jersey. Johnston was married in 1851 to Frances Colles (d.1888). Their children were Mrs. Robert W. de Forest (Emily), Mrs. Henry E. Coe (Eva), Mrs. Pierre Mali (Frances) and John Herbert Johnston. Johnston kept diaries to document his travels abroad with his family as a young man, as well as his leisure and business travels later in life. An avid and notable art collector, Johnston displayed his paintings at his home on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Eight Street and eventually gave many objects to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. John Taylor Johnston died March 24, 1893.</p>

<head>Scope and Contents note</head>
<p>The original travel journals of John Taylor Johnston consist of 16 volumes written between 1832 and 1869, with a gap between 1850 and 1858. The journals document the leisure and business travels of John Taylor Johnston beginning at age 12 and continuing through adulthood to age 49. Some journals contain multiple accounts, spanning many years, and in the container list they are listed in the order that they appear. The journals offer details of his travels through Europe and the United States and relate significant personal and world events such as: his wedding excursion, trips with his family, a visit to Richmond, VA in 1865 after the surrender of the Confederate Army, and a trip West on the newly-built Union Pacific Railroad. When available, the location of the transcript has been noted in parentheses.</p>
