The drinking glasses they used have a story to tell which adds to our knowledge of those turbulent times.Much has been written about Jacobite history and about the principal characters involved, but a book relating the history to the Jacobite glasses is long overdue. Here is such a book. It tells of the secret Jacobite societies and will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the period. Destined to become the standard reference work on its subject, it will be essential reading for any student of eighteenth century English glass.
This is the most detailed study of Jacobite glass ever undertaken and besides providing complete coverage of the subject, for the very first time,supplies a means of authenticating the genuine engravings in a field known to be infested with fakes.
