This paper re-examines the relationship between eighteenth-century portraiture and the antique where women adopt the postures of floating female figures from Pompeiian wall paintings in eighteenth-century portraiture. I argue that eighteenth-century floating portraits afforded their female sitters an opportunity to assert classical knowledge while adhering to typical conventions of femininity.

Hannah Humphrey (ca. 1745-1818) was the exclusive publisher of James Gillray's (1756-1815) caricatures from 1791 until Gillray's death. His achievements were made possible in large part thanks to Humphrey and her innovative business acumen. But while Gillray has been celebrated and studied by art historians, Humphrey’s contribution to his success and to the history of graphic satire has remained unexamined. This article is a first attempt to shift the focus onto her in the story of the “golden age” of British caricature. It outlines Humphrey’s career, takes a closer look at her relationship with Gillray, and finally considers some of the reasons she has remained in the shade.

The article focuses on Lady Anne Lindsay Barnard’s letters, journals and watercolours that she produced during her stay at the Cape Colony (1797–1801). Combining a series of tasks focused on close reading of Barnard’s work and a critical discussion of the historical context, the article provides a teaching strategy to examine her work with respect to the gendered discourse of the eighteenth century, and her approach to the Cape landscape and its inhabitants which both employs and, significantly, subverts contemporaneous conventions. More specifically, the tasks draw attention to Barnard’s use of ‘the modesty topos’ and the way she uses rhetorical self-deprecation in her writing to prevent violating the gender norms of her time. Furthermore, they facilitate a discussion of her subject position, particularly with respect to the period’s media landscape and manuscript culture, as well as some of the contemporaneous artistic conventions. While Barnard’s views and approaches to the Cape and its inhabitants are shown to occasionally echo officialdom, she needs to be read as a rather sophisticated observer who sometimes subtly breaks these conventions.

This paper uses recipe contributors named in three early modern manuscript receipt books (Sloane MS 2485, Sloane MS 2486 and Folger V.a 619) to identify the author as Margaret Baker, daughter of Richard Baker the Chronicler (c.1568-1645) and Margaret Mainwaring (died c.1652). A familial connection is also made to Wellcome MS 212. The Margaret Baker example is used to argue for the necessity of identifying a broader range of receipt, or recipe, book writers in order to understand the spatial and temporal distribution of recipe book production, and their social context. In the case of Margaret Baker, additional information about her family background, marital status and age at the time of writing the books both shed light on the recipes included in the book, and raise new questions about her culinary and medical practices.
本文使用三个早期现代手稿收据簿(Sloane MS 2485, Sloane MS 2486和Folger V.a 619)中的配方贡献者的名字来确定作者是玛格丽特·贝克,编年史家理查德·贝克(c.1568-1645)和玛格丽特·梅因沃林(c.1652去世)的女儿。威康212号也有家族关系。玛格丽特·贝克的例子被用来证明,为了理解食谱书生产的时空分布及其社会背景,有必要确定更广泛的收据或食谱书作者。以玛格丽特·贝克为例,关于她的家庭背景、婚姻状况和写作时的年龄的额外信息,既揭示了书中包含的食谱,也对她的烹饪和医疗实践提出了新的疑问。
