Midday Series "Made by Hand in Boston:The Crafts of Everyday Life"
Benjamin Franklin, Tradesman
Round out your knowledge of Boston native and Old South Meeting House congregant Benjamin Franklin at this lively, illustrated talk by historian of science and technology Robert Martello. Follow Franklin's footsteps from the time he ran his brother's press as a young apprentice, through the many life adventures that shaped his life as a wordsmith, statesman, and printer. Printing was a tricky business in the 18th century, and Franklin's combination of business acumen and intellectual prowess contributed to his success and versatility in the trade. Don't miss this chance to learn how Franklin changed printing, and how printing changed Franklin.
