Synopsis
A look at the day-to-day life once lived inside the home of celebrated British architect John Soane, now a museum that attracts 100,000 visitors a year The product of many years' research by Susan Palmer, archivist to Sir John Soane's Museum, At Home with the Soanes paints a detailed picture of the social and domestic life at Nos 12 & 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, in the early 19th century--how the buildings were heated, the servants' daily duties, what meals were cooked, wines purchased and teas drunk--even the fate of the family's pet dog. Family life with two children--in many ways as difficult as modern offspring--is brought vividly to life and the below-stairs relationships of the servants are poignantly recorded. The evening social whirl of visits to theaters and supper parties is chronicled, and the description of seaside holidays on the Kentish coast, when Margate was in vogue, portrays the social niceties of promenades and dances. Originally published in 1997, At Home with the Soanes has been updated to include the latest discoveries that have come to light during restoration of the house and redesigned to include more than 100 illustrations, mostly in color, from the extensive Museum archive, including photographs of the newly-recreated "lost" private apartments. At Home with the Soanes offers a fascinating insight into this London family's life, both upstairs and downstairs., Born in 1753, the son of a bricklayer, architect John Soane RA died in 1837 after a long and distinguished career. He designed 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields as his home and as a setting for his antiquities and works of art. After his wife's death he lived here alone, constantly adding to and rearranging his collections. He established the house as a museum by Act of Parliament (1833) requiring that his romantic and poetic interiors be kept as they were at the time of his death. Working in the Museum in Sir John Soane's houses at Nos. 12 and 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, Susan Palmer became intrigued by questions about how the Soane family lived there two centuries ago. What did they eat? What did they drink? How did they keep warm? What was their social life like? What were their servants' daily duties? In the course of many years of research she came up with the answers to these questions and many more. At Home with the Soanes tells the story of the Soane family's social and domestic life. It paints a vivid picture of the Soanes' house in Lincoln's Inn Fields, their family life with their two children, and the below-stairs relationships of their servants. At Home with the Soanes is published to coincide with the reopening, for the first time since 1837, of the private apartments at Sir John Soane's Museum. The aprtments, on the second floor of 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, include Soane's Bedroom and Bathroom, the Book Passage, the Oratory, Mrs Soane's Morning Room and the Model Room. These exquisite and intriguing spaces were dismantled after Soane's death in 1837 and pressed into service as staff accommodation and, later, offices. Their original contents - the models, model stands, pictures and furniture have spent the last nearly 200 years crammed into corners of various offices. The rooms have now been completely restored., Born in 1753, the son of a bricklayer, architect John Soane RA died in 1837 after a long and distinguished career.
