1. Title: An Offering to the Goddess of Flowers and Fertility: A Chromolithograph Depiction of a Roman Plaque This chromolithograph, drawn by Grivell and lithographed by Parrot et Co., presents a stunning visual representation of an ancient Roman plaque dedicated to Flora, the goddess of flowers and fertility. The intricately detailed relief carving on the plaque showcases a scene of reverence and devotion, as acolytes prepare an offering for their deity. Flora, depicted as a graceful and youthful figure, stands at the center of the composition, her arms outstretched in acceptance of the gifts brought to her. She is adorned with a diadem of flowers and draped in a flowing robe, symbolizing her connection to nature and the blooming seasons. Surrounding Flora, a cornucopia of vibrant flowers spills forth from a woven basket, their petals unfurling in a riot of color and texture. The acolytes, dressed in traditional Roman attire, bring forth offerings of fruit, vegetables, and more flowers, their faces expressing piety and respect. The intricate details of this chromolithograph, drawn from Frederick Rathbone's Old Wedgwood, provide a fascinating glimpse into the rich mythology and classical art of ancient Rome. The decorative or artistic ceramic work produced by Josiah Wedgwood, as documented in Rathbone's comprehensive study, continues to captivate audiences with its exquisite depictions of historical and mythological scenes. This beautiful piece serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the classical world and the continued relevance of its myths and artistic traditions.
