Subject: [Carolingia] Magna Carta and Domesday materials at Boston Library


September 4—December 11, 2011
       
Through objects collected by the Society of Antiquaries of London, the oldest
independent learned society concerned with the study of the past, the
exhibition traces milestones in the discovery, recording, preservation,
interpretation, and communication of Britain's history. It explores beliefs
current before the Society was founded in 1707 and reveals how new finds and
technologies have transformed the ways scholars have written history over the
past three hundred years. Assembled together are artifacts of international
importance (including the Domesday Survey for Winchester and a Magna Carta
from 1225), detailed records of lost buildings and objects, an outstanding
collection of English royal portraits from Henry VI to Mary I, and works
associated with William Morris, Fellow and founder of the English Arts and
Crafts movement whose country house, Kelmscott Manor, is owned by the Society.
Alongside these are loans from the celebrated collection of the Yale Center
for British Art including rare books, maps, and drawings by Samuel Palmer,
Edward Burne-Jones, and Augustus Welby Pugin.
