Its subject matter reflects a range of 19th-century preoccupations, from botany and zoology to popular humor and the macabre. \u003ci\u003eMajolica Mania\u003c\/i\u003e examines the medium's considerable impact, from wares used in domestic settings to monumental pieces at the World's Fairs. Essays by international experts address the extensive output of the originators and manufacturers in England--including Minton, Wedgwood, and George Jones--and the migration of English craftsmen to the U.S. New research including information on important American makers in New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia is also featured.
