Bookplate of previous owner inside front cover. Very slight DJ wear. Minor edge soiling. This is a Barra Foundation/Mount Vernon Ladies' Association Book. The late Robert L. McNeil, Jr., the former Chairman of McNeil Laboratories, created the Barra Foundation to support nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Greater Philadelphia region. His tireless philanthropy perennially encouraged innovative ideas and concepts, which remain the main focus of the Foundation today. With a strong sense of community and an ardent passion for the arts, Mr. McNeil championed countless organizations. Hundreds of George and Martha Washington's porcelain and earthenware objects have survived, along with Washington's meticulous accounts and extensive correspondence. Together they illuminate not only the trade, shipping and commercial practices of the period from 1757 to 1802; they also offer a vivid picture of contemporary table customs and social conventions. Susan Detweiler and Mount Vernon's curator, Christine Meadows, tell the story of Washington from his early years at Mount Vernon to the presidency and his official residences in New York and Philadelphia. Through informative and often amusing quotes from guests at the Washington's table, astute interpretations of some of the puzzling extant documents concerning the chinaware, and a wide-ranging selection of illustrations unexpected aspects of Washington's personality are revealed in a broad and refreshing account of America's First Family, and of eighteenth-century colonial life as well. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
