Hello Mr. Jaffe,
Here is a jpeg scans of the calling card image by bookplate engraver Robert Sneider of New York. It was found in an old scrapbook for St. Bernard Commandery No. 35, Knights Templar of Chicago. These were used by attendees of triennial conclave gatherings, in this case at their 1883 event in San Francisco. The scene is apparently a spoof on the solemn Chamber of Reflection used in the Templar degrees. Please feel free to utilize this on your blog or in any other manner you see fit.

Book Shops around the World
I don't usually recommend books but in this instance I'll make an exception.
It is a safe assumption that most of you enjoy going to book shops . Jen Campbell's new book is a delight. It's written from the heart by a very talented writer who takes you on a remarkable journey to bookshops around the world.
My rough estimate is that she covered about 250 stores.
