San Francisco History Center's archivist will be presenting Research the History of Your Home at the Noe Valley Branch Library on Saturday, July 28. We had a great crowd at the June Parkside Branch Research the History of Your Home program and we're ready to share tailored tips to the Noe Valley neighborhood. The program starts at 3 pm, with plenty of time for questions and answers.  The presentation will include online tips for the research steps in finding out who owned a particular building and who lived in it.  Print-only resources such as Index to Papers on File will be discussed.  There will also be pointers on how to find a photograph of a building, including how to use the recently digitized San Francisco Aerial Views, 1938 and the San Francisco Assessor's Office Negative Collection. But there's no need to wait for the program in order to get started with your research: begin with the San Francisco History Center's online guide How to Research a San Francisco Building.

"Never judge a book by its cover." We know this adage to be true some of the time, but when we find beautifully illustrated bindings and want to share them with our readers, we just can't help ourselves--we judge. The publisher's pictorial cloth binding pictured here of dancing butterflies and drumming beetle is an enchanting invitation to the fables and poetry that await within. Stop continues the insect theme with a butterfly frontispiece inside. See the title page for a beetle couple dancing off into the sunset. Hundreds of additional illustrations throughout the book sweeten the reading experience. Our copy of Bêtes et Gens was published in Paris in 1880.

A contemporary of the artists J.J. Grandville (1803-1847) and Gustave Doré (1832-1883), Stop was the nom de plume of Louis Pierre Gabriel Bernard Morel-Retz (1825-1899).

This book is one of our favorites from the Schmulowitz Collection of Wit & Humor. Come take a look for yourself!

On Saturday, August 4th, lettering artist, graphic designer and typographer Carl Rohrs will demonstrate Brush Writing in the Latino/Hispanic Community Metting Room at the Main Library, Lower Level. Carl has led previous Kalligraphia demonstrations here at the Main Library before and has presented the Book Arts & Special Collections Annual Holiday Lecture in 2010.
Carl Rohrs is a lettering artist, graphic designer and typographer. He was introduced to the art of calligraphy while a student of Reese Bullen at Humboldt State University, Arcata, California, in the 1970s. After graduation, with an interest in building on his knowledge of letter forms, Carl pursued a career as a sign painter, eventually establishing a well-known and highly successful sign business in Santa Cruz, California. Apart from his sign business, he also continued his study of calligraphy, at first learning through books and solitary practice, later studying with a variety of teachers in workshop settings. Eventually he became a teacher himself; for almost thirty years he has taught at Cabrillo College, in Aptos, expanding his repertoire from calligraphy to include classes in graphic design and typography. He also maintains an active schedule as guest workshop teacher for calligraphy societies throughout the United States and in Europe, Japan, Australia and South Africa. Over time Carl has developed a distinctive calligraphic style which is highly acclaimed for its originality and vitality of form, using both the pen and the brush, and drawing inspiration from historic and contemporary sources. He is represented in many collections, including the Library’s Harrison Collection of Calligraphy & Lettering in the Book Arts & Special Collections Center.

While you're here, come up to the 6th Floor for Kalligraphia 13, an exhibition of modern calligraphy by members of the Friends of Calligraphy, a non-profit Bay Area organization. Kalligraphia 13 will be on view in the Skylight Gallery on the 6th floor of the Main Library through August 26.
