Liberty at Charleston

As Liberty's archivist, Anna Buruma's name often pops up on this blog. Next month, when she visits Bloomsbury territory, readers in Britain will have a chance to hear her speak about the long history of the London department store's iconic prints. Tickets to the event -- scheduled for Thursday, September 6 at 7 p.m. -- are available online.
