[With]: JEWITT, Llewellynn Frederick William (1816-1886), an autograph collection of correspondence, mainly with Godfrey WEDGWOOD, proofs and notes relating to the publication of Jewitt's works on the Wedgwood family, mainly the The Wedgwoods: being a Life of Josiah Wedgwood, London: 1865, including Wedgwood family trees and chronologies, an autograph letter signed (1865) from GLADSTONE, an acceptance as dedicatee; a small quantity of printed material including Jewitt's own proofs, 11 issues of The Potter (1856-8), 35 issues of The Potters' Examiner (1844), and publications and newspaper articles (1865) relating to The Wedgwood Institute, memorial, and family; together with a collection of 46 autograph letters written to or collected by Jewitt, from the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Vernon and others. AN IMPORTANT ARCHIVE OF MATERIAL RELATING TO BURSLEM AND THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES, ASSEMBLED BY ONE OF THE LEADING MANUFACTURERS. The majority of the papers are apparently unpublished; they offer a detailed history not only of the potteries, the Woods, Wedgwoods and other major manufacturers, but also a social history of Staffordshire, and insights into working practices and conditions at the height of the industrial age. Having been apprenticed to Humphrey Palmer and the Wedgwoods, Enoch Wood started up his own company with Ralph Wood in Burslem in 1784. His family came to be one of the most prominent pottery families of the 19th century. During his long life, Enoch Wood, as this archive shows, kept an eye on posterity, keeping detailed records and mementoes of life in Burslem. The present papers are covered in explanatory notes, signed 'EW', often with suggestions for their preservation. His comments offer amusing insights -- on his drawing of the Portland Vase is his note that he had closely examined Josiah Wedgwood's jasper copy of the original, and 'I could have modeld it in much better stile'. Following the closure of his factories in 1846, Enoch Wood's papers must have been dispersed; the present collection of papers is an important survival for the documentation of the Staffordshire potteries.
