The life of Josiah Wedgwood, from his private correspondence and family papers ... with an introductory sketch of the art of pottery in England
Eliza Meteyard's two-volume biography of Josiah Wedgwood, published in London by Hurst and Blackett in 1865, drawing on family papers and opening with a history of English pottery for collectors and manufacturers. Wood-engraved vessels stand alone against blank grounds, modelled in fine parallel hatching: stoneware jugs with applied medallions, footed mortars, scrolled slip ornament, and profile outlines useful as silhouettes or spot motifs.
