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.
Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795) was a master potter who pioneered the
industrialisation of pottery manufacture during the early
Industrial Revolution. His experimental work on ceramics resulted
in many innovations in the production and decoration of pottery.
This three-volume work, edited by his great-granddaughter Katherine
Eufemia Farrer and first published between 1903 and 1906, contains
Wedgwood's letters to his business partner, the Liverpool merchant
Thomas Bentley (1730-1780). Wedgwood's highly successful
partnership with Bentley is credited with the expansion and
development of Wedgwood's reputation across Europe. The letters
cover the years 1762 to 1794 and provide a lively account both of
the growth of the business partnership and of Wedgwood's domestic
life. Wedgwood and Bentley also maintained a keen interest in
current affairs, and these volumes provide a fascinating glimpse
into the society and domestic life of the late eighteenth century.
Volume 1 covers 1762-1772.
