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. This was illustrated by an engraving in Simon Thomassin's, Recueil des figures, groups, thermes, fontaines, vases, statues, et autres ornemens de Versaille, Paris, 1694, pl. 104 and Amsterdam, 1695.. 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. reference term-121186 adlib-term-121186 044f9714-accc-390c-a380-1bbe4f979798 18th Century, second half 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 presumed lead reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze reference term-37637 adlib-term-37637 89b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecb soft-paste porcelain Height in 10 Width in 7 3/4 reference media-17444 adlib-media-17444 c9ca0719-85f7-35f7-9026-2f471e146774 jpeg aa/aa2/C_91_1932_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581217687 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_91_1932_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742581217687 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_91_1932_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581217687 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_91_1932_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742581217687 1 image 0 media image reference media-17445 adlib-media-17445 eac2bfcc-0dc1-3309-9b45-19f0c7825436 jpeg aa/aa2/C_91_1932_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581236389 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_91_1932_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742581236389 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_91_1932_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742581236389 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_91_1932_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742581236389 1 image 1 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure 1 reference object-43504 adlib-object-43504 4a89a8df-ecee-3b28-9208-dc8ff8453fbd
