EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate clay models for Wedgwood portrait medallions designed by renowned artist John Flaxman. The autotype print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of these 18th-century artworks, which were featured in George Bell and Sons' publication, "Choice Examples of Wedgwood Art" in 1879. The photo reveals a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of Staffordshire ceramics, as well as the artistry that defined this era. Each model represents a different figure from British and European royalty, including Swedish King Gustav III, Portuguese Queen Maria I, astronomer William Herschel, and German doctor Dr. Buchan. These delicate clay profiles provide a window into the past, offering insight into the lives of influential individuals who shaped Europe's history. From kings to actresses like Mrs. Siddons, each medallion tells its own unique story. The composition highlights both men and women from various backgrounds with their distinct features meticulously captured by Flaxman's skilled hands. These models serve as timeless reminders of an era when portraiture was highly valued for preserving one's legacy. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by an anonymous English photographer from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the beauty and elegance encapsulated within these Wedgwood portrait medallions.
