SUMMARY:Spirit of England: Gin’s Intoxicating History
DESCRIPTION:Today gin is one of the most popular spirit drinks in England and It has enjoyed a huge revival in recent decades. This is witnessed not only in the burgeoning sales of the spirit every year\, but also in the rise of craft gin makers in many parts of the country. Its long history as a preferred English tipple can be traced back to the early 17th century when soldiers in King Charles’s army brought the Dutch spirit to England after fighting in the 30 Years War in Holland. \nBy the end of the century gin drinking was so common\, particularly in the capital that wages were sometimes paid in the spirit. By 1730\, gin had replaced French brandy as the favourite English spirit and there were 7000 gin shops in London alone; by 1750\, more than 10 million gallons of gin were being produced every year. \nSuch widespread use of the spirit\, particularly amongst the working class poor\, created huge social problems and Hogarth’s “Gin Lane” of 1751 gives a dramatic picture of the scale of the problem. Only after legislation to control production was passed by Parliament in that same year did the consumption of gin gradually abate\, but only for it to enjoy another revival in the 19th century when the rise of the Gin Palace became a feature of cities and towns up and down the land. \nIn this presentation\, historian Ian Cox traces the fascinating history of gin drinking in England from the 17th century to the present day\, highlighting the ebbing and flowing of its popularity and its prospects for the future. \n\nIan Cox\nIan Cox studied at the Universities of Keele\, London and Glasgow. He developed his career as a decorative arts historian in the 1980s and was the Director of the Christie’s Decorative Arts Programme at the University of Glasgow and then Director of Studies for Christie’s Education in London. Ian also ran a prestgious Decorative Arts Summer School for Christie’s in New York and was Co-Director of the Victorian Society of America London Summer School. Ian has published widely in the history of the decorative arts\, particularly on furniture and ceramics. In more recent times\, he has directed cultural holiday programmes for the ACE foundation in Cambridge and is a regular round the world lecturer for the Seabourn and Silverseas cruise lines. He has been a lecturer for The Royal Oak Foundation in the USA since 2006. \n\nLIVE\nTuesday\, April 26 | 2:00 p.m. (ET)\nOnline via Zoom Webinar\n$15 members; $20 non-members \nRENT\nFrom Wednesday\, April 27 to Monday\, May 9\nRent the recorded lecture to watch at your leisure\n$15 members; $20 non-members

SUMMARY:The Glessner House Chicago\, IL
DESCRIPTION:Principal bedroom with De Morgan tiles by James Caulfield \nJoin Royal Oak as we virtually tour the Glessner House. The house was built on Chicago’s most prestigious residential street Prairie Avenue in 1885 by architectHenry Hobson Richardson\, and was later designated a historic landmark in 1970. A radical departure from traditional Victorian architecture\, the structure served as an inspiration to architects such as Louis Sullivan\, Mies van der Rohe\, and the young Frank Lloyd Wright and helped redefine domestic architecture. Richardson\, eager to develop a style of architecture that would reflect what he saw as the musculature of the fast-growing United States\, the late-19th-century architect developed what would be called the Richardsonian Romanesque style. \nThe Richardsonian Romanesque style took elements of European Romanesque architecture from buildings constructed in the 11th and 12th centuries\, and adapted them to American idioms. This was the last residence Richardson would work on as he died three weeks after its completion at the age of 48. We will focus on the influence of the English Arts and Crafts Movement\, William Morris\, and his contemporaries. The house has original features including the William De Morgan tiled fireplace. It also features the recreation of the Morris wallpapers\, textiles\, and rugs. \n\nLIVE\nThursday\, April 28 | 4:00 p.m. ET\nOnline via Zoom Webinar\n$30 members $40 Non-members \nRENT\nFrom Friday\, April 29 to Friday\, May 6\nRent the recorded lecture to watch at your leisure\n$30 members $40 Non-members
