6. This chair is an interesting artifact of both oral and literate
traditions. Sit forward, and you can talk with your guests. Sit
backward, and you can read and/or write.
In 2004, I took this picture in the house John Wesley built on City
Road in London in the 1760s. I should have asked more
questions, but I'm assuming this is a chair one could use in the
usual way, facing forward, or one could turn around to read or
write using that angled board along with the padded arm rests.
Here's something I'm unsure of: did one sit backwards with legs
spread around the backrest? If so, then the armrests seems too
high to be comfortable. Did one instead kneel on the seat? If so,
then why make the backrest so narrow?
