The Art and Science of the Lunar Society (Lecture by Dr Sally Hoban) (Birmingham branch)

The Lunar Society of Birmingham members’ legacy of experimentation in the late 18th and early 19th centuries helped give us the modern industrial world we know today. Dr Sally Hoban’s lecture explores some familiar names but also discusses the virtually unknown women connected with the Lunar Circle, including early photographer Elizabeth Stockdale Wilkinson (1799 – 1871) and the poet Anna Seward (1747 – 1809).
