About the Item

The Material World of Eyre Hall: Four Centuries of Chesapeake History Edited by Carl R. Lounsbury. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. Published by D Giles Ltd, London, 2021. This is a micro-history of 400 years of southern history told in the study of one place, Eyre Hall on the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay. Erected in 1759 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Eyre Hall is still occupied by descendants of its builder. It retains a rich variety of objects from furniture and books to silver and paintings acquired by the family, reflecting the tastes and aspirations of its many different generations. Only a small handful of places in Virginia can claim such continuity. The material culture of Eyre Hall illustrates the everchanging meanings of this place in American culture from the seventeenth- through the twenty-first century. It represents the cultural endeavors of southern society that was built on slavery and suffered the tribulations of wars, emancipation, and economic depressions.
