edition of 950 copies. 416 pages. 60 colour plates. 1,340
black & white illustrations. Hardback. Very good copy
in matching green cloth slipcase. The highly important Wedgwood service of 1773 comprising 952 pieces made for Catherine the Great of Russia. Known as the Green Frog Service. it provides one of the finest surviving pictorial records of 18th-century Britain. Commissioned and produced in 1773-4, the Service was destined for a palace Catherine was building in English Gothic style as a staging post between St Petersburg and her summer residence at Tsarskoe Selo. Surrounded by marshes. the palace was known as Le Grenouillere, hence the device of a bright green frog that appears on every piece of the service. The Empress particularly asked for views of landscape gardens, and many of the finest gardens in Britain are depicted, together with great arrays of ruined castles and abbeys, old manor houses, romantic landscapes, views on the Thames and even early industrial sites. Stored in the vaults of the Hermitage in St Petersburg the complete service and its decoration and sources is examined and illustrated in great detail for the first time. |
