'Bas-relief or tablet. White. China and blue ball clay. Height, 9⅝; width, 8½ inches...A copy of this bas-relief, though in much smaller form, appears in 'Wedgwood and his works,' plate VIII., but for the reason mentioned on the previous page, it is thus repeated. In this case, as in the former, the material is granulated and coarse; but great sharpness of effect is secured, and the whole composition is very fine...The designs for these bas-reliefs were executed by Flaxman at Wedgwood's request to commemorate the Treaty of Commerce between France and England, signed at Versailles, September 27, 1786...Their price was £3 3s. each, and they were made both in white, as also in blue and white jasper...'
