SUMMARY:'So Pious an Institution': Slavery\, Religion\, Education\, and Virginia's Bray Schools
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nOur sixth lecture of the series will feature Nicole Brown. \nWhen the Williamsburg Bray School opened its doors on September 29\, 1760\, it was the first official endeavor in Virginia to provide education for enslaved and free African Americans. Offering religious instruction in the Anglican tradition\, the varied perspectives on Virginia Bray Schools were often complicated and contradictory. Public historian and early colonial scholar Nicole Brown will explain the pivotal role these schools had on our understanding of the relationship between slavery\, religion\, and education prior to the American Revolution and the Second Great Awakening. \nNicole Brown is a researcher\, performer\, and interpreter of women in Virginia spanning from 1750 to 1800. As of 2020\, Mrs. Brown is completing an M.A. in American Studies at The College of William & Mary. \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom. While we hope you can join us live\, a recording of this lecture will be available for viewing for one month after the lecture date. \nTickets for this event are available on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Interpreting the Evidence: Mount Vernon's Front Parlor
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nOur seventh lecture of the series features Adam Erby. \nIn September 2013\, Mount Vernon curators made an exciting discovery; a previously unknown ledger kept by George Washington’s friend and neighbor\, George William Fairfax\, appeared at auction. At first glance\, the ledger seemed to have little to do with Mount Vernon\, but as curators mined the document they discovered that much of the London-made furniture listed in the ledger came to Mount Vernon\, either by purchase or gift\, when its original owner returned to England at the outbreak of the American Revolution. \nThis lecture will trace the fascinating tale of these furnishings from the London warerooms of William Gomm and Son to the grand\, but now lost\, Virginia plantation of George William Fairfax and his wife Sally\, and finally to the principal rooms at Mount Vernon. The talk will demonstrate that as these furnishings moved from place to place through retail purchase\, auction and gift\, they served as a powerful means of establishing Fairfax\, and later Washington\, as a sophisticated grandee on the edges of empire. The lecture will focus on the most important find from the ledger\, the rediscovery of the furnishings of Mount Vernon’s front parlor. \nAdam Erby serves as the Curator of Fine and Decorative Arts with George Washington’s Mount Vernon. \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom. While we hope you can join us live\, a recording of this lecture will be available for viewing for one month after the lecture date. \nTickets for this event are available through Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Sewing the Seeds of Style: Botanical Silks and Enlightenment Era Fashion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nOur eighth lecture of the series features Kristen Stewart. \nEighteenth century flower culture grew out of many of the same circumstances to which the Enlightenment has been attributed: a growing interest in and understanding of the natural world\, increased globalism through expansion of international trade routes\, and the rapid advancement of industrial technology. A visual narrative of this influence can be traced in the floral forms popular in woven and embroidered designs of fashionable silk and cotton textiles of the period. \nKristen E. Stewart joined the Valentine as the Nathalie L. Klaus Curator of Costume and Textiles in the fall of 2014. Stewart was most recently a curatorial assistant in San Francisco’s Fine Arts Museums\, where she has worked since 2013 in the Caroline & H. McCoy Jones Department of Textile Arts. \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom. While we hope you can join us live\, a recording of this lecture will be available for viewing for one month after the lecture date. \nTickets for this event are available through Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Reflections on Glass in the 18th-Century British World
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Wilton House Museum’s 2021-2022 virtual lecture series! \nThe ninth and final lecture in the series features Dr. Christopher Maxwell. \nIn the 18th century\, Britain was a vibrant and commercial nation. Its growing cities were hubs of politics\, sociability\, scientific advancement\, entrepreneurship and commerce. \nFrom glittering costume and elaborately presented confectionery\, to polished mirrors and dazzling chandeliers\, glass helped define the social and cultural rituals\, values and spaces of the period. While innovations in glass delighted the wealthy\, the material also bore witness to the ambitions of colonization and the horrors of the African slave trade. Glass beads were traded for human lives and elegant glass dishes\, baskets and bowls held sweet delicacies made with sugar produced by enslaved labor. Underpinning Britain’s prosperity were aggressive foreign trade policies\, colonization and a far-reaching economy of enslavement\, the profits of which funded the pleasures and innovations of the fashionable world. \nThis talk will consider the many innovations\, functions and meanings of glass within the ‘British world’ during the 18th century. \nChristopher (Kit) Maxwell is Curator of Early Modern Glass at The Corning Museum of Glass. He is curator of the special exhibition ‘In Sparkling Company: Glass and the Costs of Social Life in Britain during the 1700s’\, and editor of the accompanying publication. \nThis virtual presentation will take place on Zoom. While we hope you can join us live\, a recording of this lecture will be available for viewing for one month after the lecture date. \nTickets for this event are available through Eventbrite.
