Invisible Magicians: Domestic Servants in Gilded Age New York

X. Join The Gilded Gentleman for a look below stairs!  Carl is joined by Esther Crain, author of The Gilded Age in New York 1870-1914, to look at the various roles and responsibilities of domestic staff in grand mansions and even in more modest homes.  

Carl and Esther explore what servants did and most importantly who they really were.  This show pays tribute to the vast numbers of "invisible magicians" without whom the dinners, balls and  daily workings of households of the Gilded Age would never have been possible.
