The BCC hosts an illustrated talk about the work of Mallette Dean by John Hawk, head librarian of the Special Collections & University Archives at the University of San Francisco.

He designed, illustrated, and printed several titles and contributed initials and ornaments to dozens of books published by eminent California presses. His paintings, wood engravings, and linocuts were exhibited across the country and received widespread acclaim. He was also one of twenty-six artists selected to paint murals at San Francisco's Coit Tower. Of local note, we have a print of the Center’s famous Magnolia tree and our Moya Library bookplate, both by Mallette Dean.
