It shows Africa as a woman with an elephant headdress, holding a lobster in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, and having a lion behind her. The porcelain model also resembles the marble statue without a cornucopia or lobster in the garden at Versailles, begun by Sibrayque and completed by Jean Cornu (1650-1710) in 1682. The Derby Continents may have been inspired by one of several Meissen sets of seated or standing figures modelled c. 1745-50, by J.J. Kaendler, P. Reinicke, and F.E. Meyer, but their immediate prototype appears to have been a set of Chelsea Continents of c. 1758-9. This model is one of a set of Continents described as the Four Quarters of the Globe in Haslem's 'Price List of Groups and Single Figures . . .' . The model conforms to Africa in no. 332 of Bradshaw's 'Revised Derby Factory List, but does not have the name of the Continent in the panel on the front of the base, see Documention, 1990. reference term-106498 adlib-term-106498 272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d6 19th Century, Early reference term-107437 adlib-term-107437 96f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479 George III reference term-110521 adlib-term-110521 b57fb046-bca3-3371-a721-2093adc3a282 literal England England country Derby but might be bone china reference term-37637 adlib-term-37637 89b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecb soft-paste porcelain presumed lead reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze Height cm 23.4 reference media-17367 adlib-media-17367 1996a6f0-471f-3c57-9db9-fe78c265e1ed jpeg aa/aa3/C_46_1918_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581248333 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_46_1918_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742581248333 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_46_1918_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581248333 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_46_1918_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742581248333 1 image 0 media image reference media-17368 adlib-media-17368 2ef90aa6-c530-3bff-b0df-82d306040d3c jpeg aa/aa3/C_46_1918_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581226837 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_46_1918_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742581226837 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_46_1918_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581226837 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_46_1918_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742581226837 1 image 1 media image reference media-17369 adlib-media-17369 ee757dab-cc41-3e3e-a2b8-c2bb4809f0c5 jpeg aa/aa3/C_46_1918_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581203989 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_46_1918_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742581203989 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_46_1918_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581203989 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_46_1918_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742581203989 1 image 2 media image reference media-17370 adlib-media-17370 a4703556-7c05-385e-93b6-c2051d8c0090 jpeg aa/aa3/C_46_1918_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581202743 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_46_1918_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742581202743 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_46_1918_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581202743 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_46_1918_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742581202743 1 image 3 media image reference media-17371 adlib-media-17371 047f2d23-302d-32c4-abfd-c1b16e62074d jpeg aa/aa3/C_46_1918_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581247176 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_46_1918_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742581247176 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_46_1918_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581247176 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_46_1918_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742581247176 1 image 4 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure history note unknown before donor reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Ref. p. 174, no. 200, 'Set of four Quarters of the Globe' in two sizes 6 and 5 ¼ ins high, the larger size £1.12.0. and the smaller size £1.4.0 for both enamelled and gilt, and biscuit.
