PAFA Pours: Toasts in Age of Yellow Fever

Thursday, April 9th, 5:30 to 6:30 PM.

Zoom address will be emailed upon registration

$7 General Audiences/Free for PAFA Members

 

This Thursday curator of Historical American Art, Anna Marley, is joined by Art Historian Amy Henderson to explore life at home in Philadelphia in the era of Yellow Fever.

They will discuss the social and dining practices enjoyed by some of the city’s elite families at their city and country houses (especially those along the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers); as well as the herculean efforts of Philadelphia citizens like AME Bishop Richard Allen to save the most vulnerable populations of the city, and how life in this period was profoundly impacted by epidemics.

Please raise a glass of "Madeira" (or any other libation you have handy!)
