SUMMARY:Iconography Presentation at St. Louis County Library–Clark Family Branch
DESCRIPTION:Off-site Event Join Cemetery Chronicler Daniel Fuller and BCA volunteers for a free presentation on “Iconography at BCA\,” held at the Clark Family Branch in St. Louis\, MO.  Beyond the Gates: Iconography and Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum Iconography is the study or interpretation of images or symbols used on headstones\, crypts\, and mausoleums in a cemetery. Cemeteries are virtual encyclopedias of symbolism. The symbols on a person’s grave may help tell us something about their life. Grave markers not only record the dearly departed’s name and dates of birth and death\, but the design can often indicate a person’s history\, religion\, ethnicity\, culture\, occupation\, or social status\, as well as their pleasures\, sorrows\, and hopes for the afterlife. This event is part of the St. Louis Library Local History Expo. Daniel’s presentation will begin at 11:30 a.m. in Room A of the Clark Family Branch\, located at 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd. St. Louis\, MO 63131-3598. The event is free and open to the public. For more information\, please visit the SLCL website.
