EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print showcases the portrait medallions of two eminent scientific figures, Joseph Priestley (left) and Robert Boyle (right). The intricately designed medallions are set against a rich, textured background, adding to their visual allure. Joseph Priestley (1733-1804), depicted on the left, was an English philosopher, chemist, inventor, and theologian. He is best known for his discovery of oxygen gas and his pioneering work on photosynthesis. Priestley's contributions to the scientific community were groundbreaking, and his portrait is a testament to his enduring influence. Robert Boyle (1627-1691), portrayed on the right, was an Anglo-Irish chemist, physicist, and philosopher, who is considered the father of modern chemistry. He is renowned for his law of gases, Boyle's Law, which describes the inverse relationship between pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. Boyle's work laid the foundation for modern chemistry, and his portrait is a fitting tribute to his scientific achievements. The portrait medallions are part of a larger collection of decorative or artistic ceramic work produced by Josiah Wedgwood. This collection, showcased in the book "Old Wedgwood" by Frederick Rathbone, features a variety of intricately designed pottery, ceramics, stoneware, porcelain, and china. The chromolithograph print, created by W. Griggs, offers a glimpse into the beauty and sophistication of this historic collection.
