INRAP the French state archaeology service has published a new book on 
pottery from recent excavations in the city - Poteries de Lyon 1500-1650 
by Alban Horry  Probably not much got exported given its inland 
situation so one for real pottery buffs but lots of nice colour photos 
and a few reproductions of paintings or drawings showing  kitchens and 
silk weaver's workshops. Should be available from main French internet 
sources at 28 euros. I recommend Lyon for  short holiday- amazing 
architecture and interesting cuisine. I went a few years ago after 
seeing a brilliant Open University program on TV exploring its 
industrial history (especially silk weaving) and how the rise of its 
wealthy bourgeoisie  led to its reputation as a culinary capital.
i Hope to see some of my old friends in Leicester next year for SHA 
conference.

Best Wishes
