Happy Valentine’s day and Library Lover’s Day to all our followers!
To show our love, here is a Valentine’s Day Card circa 1856 from the Library’s Rare book collections. A note with the card states that the card was 80 years old in 1936. It is double layered and embossed with coloured flowers and a wreath. It includes an oval in the middle with a small deer and laced edges. It is inscribed “Accept with tribute of sincere love”.
On February 9th, 1894, Milton S. Hershey founded the Hershey Chocolate Company. What better way to appreciate this momentous anniversary than with a book of chocolate recipes?
Walter Baker & Company’s 1931 recipe book, Best Chocolate and Cocoa Recipes, begins with a chronicle of the history of chocolate– its origins in ancient Mexico, South America, and the West Indies and how it spread to Europe and the United States. No variation of chocolate dessert is left out of this book, and many of the recipes include mouthwateringly realistic illustrations.

Chinese Lunar New Year by Howard Munson
The work consists of 9 panels. The top panel contains four shelves on which are set golden plastic ingots (symbol for prosperity) and plastic red peppers (symbol for good fortune). The remaining panels are covered with found Chinese language printed papers over which are mounted two prints, a large calligraphic strip (which translates to English as happiness, wealth, and longevity) and a hand drawn, hand colored pop-up dragon, Gum Lung (a mythical creature wielding great power).
Artist's statement: "Chinatown is in my backyard. After thirty years it still remains a mystery to me and inspires me to do a book for the Lunar Chinese New Year each year. I approach it visually, taking their images and placing them in books where their bright colors clash together as loud as the music played behind doors and in the street festivals. Each Lunar New Year the dragon awakens and Chinatown becomes alive with activity that enriches not only their lives but mine as well" --E-mail correspondence with artist UC Irvine Special Collections & Archives (Source)
Looking at make-up by Marcia Weisbrot
3 inch double-sided round accordion is pasted into the base of the plastic compact. Compact is housed in a silver sequined pouch. Hand colored pictures of women applying blush and tweezing, a heavily made-up face, and a tabletop array of cosmetics.This small book housed in a mirrored compact expresses Woman's ambivalent relationship with cosmetics as both agent of transformation and of potential denial and constraint. Brief reminiscences of Charm School and of one sister tweezing another's eyebrows depict make-up's function as a rite of passage for girls, a chance to choose their own personas, what faces they will wear in the world. Make-up is part of the private language of women, a modern day initiation which we embrace or reject

Writing Home by Sheryl Oring
Contains messages from immigrants on New York's Lower East Side written to their ancestors, date stamped on pieces of paper the size of library cards, and a folded series of photographic reproductions of scenes in New York This work was created following an interactive performance at the Eldridge Street Project on the Lower East Side in New York City which explored the connection between place, language and memory as it relates to the American immigrant experience. The author set up a portable office inside a synagogue and invited visitors to dictate letters to their ancestors. Using carbon paper and a vintage typewriter, Oring typed participants' responses, gave the original to the interviewee, and kept a duplicate for her archive and this book.
