MEDALLION PORTRAITS OF WEDGWOOD. 367 



The next medallion of which I give an illustration is 

 undoubtedly of an earlier date than the last ; it is of great 

 rarity, and has never before been engraved. The accom- 

 panying illustration is drawn from an example in the pos- 

 session of my friend, Dr. Barnard Davis ; and a similar one 

 may be seen in Mr. Mayer's museum, Liverpool. On this, 

 Wedgwood is represented in a bag wig, frilled shirt, and 

 collared coat, and an ermine mantle is thrown over the lower 



part of the bust. This medallion I feel disposed, and not 

 without reason, to believe to have been the work of Hack- 

 wood, a clever modeller, who was employed by Wedgwood, 

 and produced a large number of portraits and bas-reliefs. 



Another medallion of a different size, and of totally dif- 

 ferent character, is the one shown on the engraving on the fol- 

 lowing page. Like the last one, this striking and admirable 

 profile portrait of Wedgwood has never before been engraved
