This book focuses instead on the producers and consumers of these new material goods. It explains the economic conditions, the new scientific knowledge and the social and cultural transformations which formed these products. Eighteenth-century ceramics places British wares in a European context.The book makes clear that British delftwares, porcelains and creamwares were produced principally by middle-class entrepreneurs for middle-class consumers. Although influenced by the continental manufactories, British ceramics developed characteristics which reinforced the values and aspirations of a complex group of people who formed the commercial, professional and new industrial middle classes. The author investigates the impact that refined ceramic wares made on the social practices and imaginative lives of eighteenth-century society. These new goods constituted part of a wider material culture which reinforced eighteenth-century concepts of a modern and civilised society in formation. - Figures - 1 Z.

DaCosta Kaufmann Central European Drawings in the Collection of the Crocker Art Museum XLVIII+308 p., 280 b/w ill.+25 colour ill., 210 x 280 mm, 2005, Hardback ISBN 978-1-872501-24-6, EUR 125.00 Available English Text: Central European Drawings in the Crocker Collection presents a survey of five centuries of draftsmanship from Central Europe. An interpretive and fully illustrated (with many illustrations in color) catalogue of one of the oldest public collections in the United States, it considers a wide variety of types of drawings. Works by well known masters Albrecht Dürer, Johann Rottenhammer, and Johann Georg von Dillis, are included, but many surprises are also in store, among them comparatively rare sheets by such important figures as Karel Skreta, Wenzel Hollar, and Johann Holzer. A major reference work, this book is an important contribution to scholarship that will be of use to students, professors, collectors, and amateurs alike.
