Noticing Material Culture

This essay builds from a workshop held during the 2022 Business History Conference Mid-Year meeting, intended to challenge participants to rethink traditional sources through material culture methodologies.

With Art Wars, Rachel N. Klein illuminates the legacy of the “republic of taste” championed by elites and members of the middle class in the earliest decades of the nineteenth century (p. 9).

As such, Klein promises to expand our unde…

With their rescue under way, research has addressed their provenance, their roles, and their relationship to Guern…
