This fascinating 1873 publication is a version of the catalogue
produced by the Wedgwood company almost one hundred years earlier,
in 1787. Its editor, the feminist writer Eliza Meteyard (1816-79),
was a friend of the Wedgwood/Darwin families, and had published a
two-volume biography of Josiah Wedgwood in 1865. She explains in
her preface that the sixth (and last) such catalogue of Wedgwood's
lifetime, 'having been long out of print ... is thus verbally
reprinted, without other alteration than a few press corrections
and the insertion of various illustrations from the Life of
Wedgwood'. A brief history of the catalogues is provided, followed
by a long list of the cameos, intaglios, figurines, vases and
dinner, tea and coffee services which the firm offered. Wedgwood
also advised on how to form a collection of cameos, which are
listed by subject: sets containing Greek gods, or kings of France,
or popes were available.
