Patriotism was rarely more fervently displayed in America than in
the early nineteenth century. Enthusiasm for the new country was
especially felt in England where goods were produced specifically
to commemorate America. This book presents in detail the
transfer-printed ceramic dishes made in Staffordshire for the
American market from 1820-1860. Here are the patriots, historical
events and breathtaking new landscape views captured by fine
artists and transferred to ceramics by the best companies in
England. Today these dishes are actively collected. Written with a
close view of the cultural changes that contributed to the enormous
popularity of historical Staffordshire wares, Jeffrey Snyder has
documented the scenes and the thinking of the people who so enjoyed
displaying American history on their dishes. The makers, their
marks, and information about the scenes is woven into this book to
identify each of the examples in 485 color illustrations.
