(ISHERWOOD, CHRISTOPHER). Hodson, Sara S.. San Marino, CA: The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, 2004. First Edition. 8vo. Printed Cardstock Wrappers. Exhibition Brochure. Near Fine.. One 8 ½ x 28" cardstock sheet printed recto and verso, neatly folded in fourths as issued to make 8pp, 9 monochrome and 4 color illustrations. This is the slender eight page brochure cum catalogue produced to accompany a posthumous 2004 Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens exhibition devoted to the life and work of the noted British-born, Southern California-based literary and gay icon Christopher Isherwood. It includes a text by curator Sara S. Hodson accompanied by reproductions of vintage photographs, dust jackets, manuscripts and three portraits by Isherwood's longtime companion Don Bachardy. A most handsome example of this uncommon ephemeral item that was the only printed documentation of the event. Inventory Number: 019092
