Learn how landscape architect Humphrey Repton marketed renovations to wealthy landholders through "before and after" illustrations; find out what the well-dressed London debutante was wearing (and reading) in 1817; and peruse recipes for delicacies like almond soup, eel pie, and pink pancakes.
Join us in the Special Collections Research Center (on the 6th floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections.
