Hopson Sat, 11 May 2013 15:11:29 +0000 http://www.calacademy.org/blogs/library/?p=1046#comment-7310 Are the pictures online anywhere? I have seen a few Liebes pics posted in various places and can identify many forebears of the Eskimo community. Charles Brower is my great grandfather. A young Waldo Bodfish, forebearer of the Bodfish clan on the North Slope, was in another. It looks like Liebes also has names with many of his pictures; this is really invaluable in identifying individuals in other historic photos.

I’m not in the Bay area but I do have internet access. Any information would be greatly appreciated. We plan on visiting Scotland sometimes soon and would like some leads to find his family.

Thanks.

Dorothy

There is also the chance that there is additional information about Tom Gordon in the collection. Are you in the Bay Area?

We’re trying to locate his family from then.

I always enjoy being able to find nicer clothes of some historical importance to SF, such as items from I. Magnin. Today I found a black Persian lamb capelet with silk lining whose tag reads ‘Arnold Liebes, San Francisco.’ I had never heard of this business before, but by Googling this phrase, your article is at the top of the list, and I now have a bit of history behind a 100 year old (but now defunct as of the early 1970s) SF business. His furrier shop was at 167 Geary. Still trying to figure out what decade this fur capelet is from, but your article was a wonderful springboard into the life of this SF entrepreneur.

Julien Liebes has not been identified in any of our digitized images but there is a chance he could be featured in one of our uncataloged prints. Our collections are open for research so if you are interested in looking for a Julien Liebes image please let me know.
