Virtual Lecture – Silversmiths of Annapolis’s Golden Age

In this presentation, Mark Letzer explores the surviving silver from the workshops of Annapolis silversmiths in the 1700s. He not only illustrates the few surviving objects but illuminates the lives of these craftsmen not only as silversmiths but as members of a larger community. From taverns to social gatherings and their workshops, Letzer will share the background and histories of these fascinating men.
