'Bas-relief or tablet. White. China and blue ball clay. Height 8¾ inches; width, 8⅛ inches...This plaque is engraved in the 'Life of Wedgwood,' vol. ii, p. 564...The granulations in the clay, purposely coarse to secure sharpness of effect, and thus perceptible in the truth-giving autotypes, must not detract from the great merits of these splendid works...The plaque in question is signed by Flaxman himself, thus attesting that we have the artist's original work before us...This and the succeeding bas-relief were modelled by Flaxman for Wedgwood in January and March, 1787...'
