EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Josiah Wedgwood on Horseback: A Regal Portrait by George Stubbs and W. Griggs" This portrait depicts Josiah Wedgwood, the renowned English potter, on horseback. The image is derived from an original painting by the acclaimed artist George Stubbs, expertly rendered in chromolithograph form by W. Griggs for Frederick Rathbone's "Old Wedgwood: The Decorative or Artistic Ceramic Work Produced by Josiah Wedgwood." Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795) was a pioneering figure in the world of ceramics, revolutionizing the industry with his innovative techniques and designs. He is best known for his production of Jasperware, a type of stoneware decorated with cobalt blue and white designs on a white background. In this portrait, Wedgwood is depicted in regal attire, seated confidently on his horse. The intricate details of the horse's coat, the texture of Wedgwood's clothing, and the rich colors of the scene are all masterfully captured in the chromolithograph. The use of this medium allowed for a high level of detail and vibrancy, making the image a stunning representation of the original painting by Stubbs. The portrait not only showcases Wedgwood's success and status but also highlights his deep connection to the natural world. As a prominent figure in the Enlightenment era, Wedgwood was known for his appreciation of the beauty and intricacies of nature, which is reflected in his ceramic work. This portrait is a testament to the artistic and technological advancements of the time, as well as the enduring legacy of Josiah Wedgwood in the world of ceramics. It serves as a reminder of the importance of innovation, creativity, and a deep connection to nature in the pursuit of artistic excellence.
