H.L. Mencken Exhibit Extended through February 11


The exhibition of "Yet Another One! H.L. Mencken," which opened in September at the George Peabody Library Exhibition Gallery, has been extended. Originally scheduled to close January 7, it may now be viewed through February 11.

An intriguing new view of writer and journalist H.L. Mencken is offered in this exhibition through the personal and often humorous inscriptions in books, pamphlets and other gifts that the Sage of Baltimore gave to friends and family. Featured are a number of books inscribed to his colleague Paul Patterson, editor of the Sun, with which Mencken was associated as a columnist and editor for over forty years. Also on display are letters never before exhibited, photographs, and printed ephemera.

The gallery is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
