Josiah Wedgwood Livres
Josiah Wedgwood fut un potier et industriel pionnier qui révolutionna la fabrication de céramiques. Ses innovations et son approche d'usine jetèrent les bases de l'industrie moderne. Au-delà de son sens des affaires, il fut un abolitionniste passionné qui utilisa ses talents artistiques pour plaider contre l'esclavage. Son emblématique médaillon "Ne suis-je pas un homme et un frère ?" devint un puissant symbole du mouvement abolitionniste, démontrant son engagement à utiliser son influence pour le bien de la société.
