Eliza Meteyard's "Memorials of Wedgwood" offers an engaging selection of the celebrated potter's fine art works rendered in decorative forms-plaques, medallions, figures, and other ornamental objects. Rather than presenting Wedgwood as a distant industrial genius, the book brings his creativity close through the artistry of his designs: each piece reflects a careful blend of technical mastery and inventive imagination. Meteyard highlights how Wedgwood's visual language-often marked by classical inspiration, expressive modeling, and refined surface work-turned everyday objects into lasting works of art. By tracing the character and craftsmanship behind these creations, the collection becomes a vivid tribute to Wedgwood's enduring influence on design and taste. Memorials of Wedgwood - A Selection from his Fine Art Works in Plaques, Medallions, Figures and Other Ornamental Objects is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1874.
