He is perhaps best known for his victory over the French, led by Napoleon, at Waterloo on 18 June 1815. From 1828-30 he was Prime Minister, and from 1834-1835 served as Foreign Secretary under Sir Robert Peel. Wellington died in his chair, at home in Walmer Castle, Kent and was given a state funeral at St Paul’s Cathedral. Rackham (1935) lists this figure as of a type made chiefly by Sampson Smith at Longton. But it does not share features typically associated with the Samson Smith factory, which only began around 1851, and is more likely to have been made by one of the many other manufacturers of figures working in Staffordshire at this time. Although it is mainly unpainted, a version held by the Stoke on Trent Museum is well coloured, with underglaze blue jacket and with the chair-back and the top of the base painted in ‘feathered’ stripes , in pink and green respectively. This painting style is unusual, though has also been found on one or two other figures which may possibly have been made by John & Rebecca Lloyd, who made both earthenware and porcelain figures at Shelton, between 1834 and 1852. There are also similarities between the moulding and scale of this figure and that of the collection’s other Victorian Staffordshire figure of Wellington (standing) (C.1001-1928), on which the purple trousers are painted in a similar ‘feathered’ stripe. Wellington is shown as an elder statesman in his chair, so the figure was probably made towards the end of his life (he died in 1852). The source is probably a lithograph by Louisa Corbaux, in which Wellington sits, relaxed, in a high backed chair, which was published two dats after Wellington's death as the music cover for the song, 'Wellington', by Charles Jefferys. reference term-109672 adlib-term-109672 a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e864 19th Century, Mid reference term-15214 adlib-term-15214 744af2c4-a2f2-37ad-bbf4-2cd00e91ed9b Victorian reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country Staffordshire reference term-107611 adlib-term-107611 790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247 white earthenware reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze Depth cm 16.5 Depth in 6.5 Height cm 30.5 Height in 12 Width cm 12 Width in 4.75 reference media-34044 adlib-media-34044 d6aac029-17d7-3704-b754-1800c1a4ed3d jpeg aa/aa2/C_1022_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926351096 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1022_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926351096 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1022_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926351096 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1022_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926351096 1 image 0 media image reference media-34045 adlib-media-34045 f544ea4f-355f-3863-8c9f-887680716edd jpeg aa/aa2/C_1022_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926383066 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1022_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926383066 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1022_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926383066 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1022_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926383066 1 image 1 media image reference media-34046 adlib-media-34046 54004780-1203-3614-8467-4a04ffc38bf8 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1022_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616254547648 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1022_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616254547648 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1022_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616254547648 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1022_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616254547648 1 image 2 media image reference media-34047 adlib-media-34047 0f5af0b2-f2f3-3412-9f24-016263df57cf jpeg aa/aa2/C_1022_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926501238 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1022_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926501238 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1022_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926501238 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1022_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926501238 1 image 3 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure category reference term-130674 adlib-term-130674 2728ba11-801b-318a-8f24-c6f4b99f08e3 Victorian Staffordshire figure category reference term-130678 adlib-term-130678 c683fbc6-ba3a-3ab1-b2f5-41493ff3588d flat-backed figure category history note 109 South 15th Street Philadelphia U.S.A.
