Organising the distribution of goods to country houses in Germany and England, c.1740–1800
The growing range and quantity of goods consumed by eighteenth-century householders did not just appear at the customer's house, yet we know remarkably little about the routes, processes and costs of transporting them between the (work)shop and the home. In this article, we start to address this lacuna through comparative analysis of consumers from the land-owning elite in Germany and England whose archives offer invaluable insights into how the …
Encountering the Global in Early Modern Germany
Networks of Supply and Elite Consumers in England and Germany, c. 1750–1830
This comparative study explores the consumption practices and systems of supply of elite families in England and Germany from the middle of the eighteenth into the early nineteenth century. The paper focuses on three key elements of elite consumption – silverware, livery, and wine – to tease out important aspects of the elite’s use of consumer goods as a means of self-expression and for the construction of status. The study identifies important d…
To their Credit
The aristocracy and their use of commercial credit are seldom explored in the European comparative context despite important studies of the French aristocracy and their credit relations with shopkeepers, tradesmen and fashion merchants. This article studies the aristocracy and commercial credit in England, Germany and Sweden, by drawing on the normative literature and the account books, receipted bills, correspondence and diaries of several famil…

To explore their practices of acquisition and engagement with the world of goods, the article draws on a wide range of archival material: private and mercantile correspondence, account books, and merchants' bills. It identifies how contemporaries learned about fashions, the role played by artisans and shopkeepers …

Migration und Kosmopolitismus
Elberfeld und der Atlantik
This article sheds light on trading networks formed by German merchants in trade hubs such as London, Bordeaux and Cádiz. It analyses their networks from the vantage point of proto-industrial merchants-manufacturers based in the German interior. The study primarily draws on material from a private business archive, including extensive correspondence and daybooks. The analysis considers both the practicalities of early modern trade and cultural fa…
Slavery Hinterland
Slavery Hinterland explores a neglected aspect of transatlantic slavery: the implication of a continental European hinterland. It focuses on historical actors in territories that were not directly involved in the traffic in Africans but linked in various ways with the transatlantic slave business, the plantation economies that it fed and the consequences of its abolition. The volume unearths material entanglements of the Continental and Atlantic …
