The Meat Industry by Raymond Bertrand

Notice the clever use of the window
Raymond Bertrand (1901-1986) was a native San Franciscan.  He studied at the California School of Fine Arts where he later taught Lithography. Bertrand was primarily a landscape panter, a critic once commented that Bertrand used “freezing blues, whites and greys” in his oil in a “small but icy collection of arctic landscapes”.  His name is used as the “author” of the book titled Rape, Mayhem and Vagrancy in the law library scene at Coit Tower.

    I think it’s easier for most of us to forget that the meat we eat was once on the hoof!

    San Francisco is such a great city and Coit Tower is beautiful. I’ve climbed up there many time.
    Beautiful murals.
