EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the interior of the Wedgwood and Byerley shop located on St. James Square in London during the year 1809. The image, created as an illustration in the Repository of Arts and later reproduced in Frederick Rathbone's Old Wedgwood, provides a glimpse into the elegant and refined atmosphere of this renowned ceramics establishment. The shop's interior is adorned with an exquisite collection of Wedgwood's decorative and artistic ceramic work, which was produced by the famous English potter Josiah Wedgwood. The display cases showcase an array of intricately designed pieces, including vases, plates, and figurines, all featuring Wedgwood's signature blue and white patterns. The shop's interior design is characterized by its spaciousness, with tall windows allowing natural light to flood the room, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The walls are adorned with elegant wood paneling, and the floor is covered with a patterned carpet, adding to the overall sense of sophistication and refinement. The presence of several customers and staff members adds a sense of activity and bustle to the scene. The shop's employees, dressed in fashionable attire, are busy attending to customers and arranging the ceramics on display. The customers, some of whom are engaged in animated conversation, appear to be deeply engaged in the process of selecting their purchases, reflecting the high regard in which Wedgwood's ceramics were held during this period. Overall, this chromolithograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of Wedgwood and Byerley's shop on St. James Square and the elegant and refined atmosphere of London's ceramics trade during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
