EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable print of the Wedgwood black basalt bust of renowned playwright Ben Jonson. Created in 1775, this autotype captures the intricate details and craftsmanship of the original sculpture. The bust itself is a testament to the skill and artistry of Josiah Wedgwood, an English potter who revolutionized ceramic production during the 18th century. Ben Jonson, a prominent figure in British literature, was celebrated for his contributions as a playwright, dramatist, and poet during the Jacobean era. This portrait immortalizes him in all his glory, capturing his intense gaze and distinguished features. Displayed against a dark background that accentuates its elegance, this basalt bust represents not only an important historical artifact but also symbolizes the rich cultural heritage shared between Germany and Great Britain. As part of a private collection, it serves as a reminder of how art transcends borders and connects people across time. The photograph offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the beauty of sculptural artistry and delve into literary history simultaneously. It is through such works that we can gain insight into past civilizations while celebrating their enduring legacies.
