DESCRIPTION:E. Ulrich Leben will give a Brown Bag Lunch presentation on Mon
 day\,\nOctober 9\, at 12:15 pm. His talk is entitled “Cabinetmakers of Ger
 man Origin in\nEighteenth-Century Paris: A Chapter in European History of 
 Migration and\nTransfer of Knowledge and Craft in the Age of Enlightenment
 .”\n\nThe fact that a large number\nof cabinetmakers working in Paris duri
 ng the eighteenth century were of German\norigin is well known. It is ther
 efore surprising that there has never been\nresearch on the lives and work
  of these more than one hundred craftsmen. \nThis talk will present variou
 s aspects of a project currently being undertaken\nby Dr. Ulrich Leben and
  Miriam Schefzyk on these craftsmen and provide insight\ninto archive-base
 d research in France and abroad exploring questions regarding\nsocial\, ec
 onomic\, and cultural circumstances. A major goal of this project is\nthe 
 publication of a dictionary of these craftsmen that will be a tool for\nfu
 rther work in the field.E. Ulrich Leben is an\nindependent art historian b
 ased in Paris and Associate Curator for the\nRothschild Collection at Wadd
 esdon Manor in Buckinghamshire. He teaches classes\non French and German d
 ecorative arts and interior architecture for the European\nprograms of Par
