  • Soho Depicted: Prints, Drawings and Watercolours of Matthew Boulton, His Manufactory and Estate, 1760-1809
    SOHO DEPICTED: PRINTS, DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS OF MATTHEW BOULTON, HIS MANUFACTORY AND ESTATE, 1760-1809 by VALERIE ANN LOGGIE A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History of Art College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the ways in which the industrialist Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) used images of his manufactory and of himself to help develop what would now be considered a ‘brand’. The argument draws heavily on archival research into the commissioning process, authorship and reception of these depictions. Such information is rarely available when studying prints and allows consideration of these images in a new light but also contributes to a wider debate on British eighteenth-century print culture. The first chapter argues that Boulton used images to convey messages about the output of his businesses, to draw together a diverse range of products and associate them with one site. Chapter two explores the setting of the manufactory and the surrounding estate, outlining Boulton’s motivation for creating the parkland and considering the ways in which it was depicted.

  • Bicentenary Programme Celebrating the Life and Legacy of James Watt
    Bicentenary programme celebrating the life and legacy of James Watt 2019 marks the 200th anniversary of the death of the steam engineer James Watt (1736-1819), one of the most important historic figures connected with Birmingham and the Midlands. Born in Greenock in Scotland in 1736, Watt moved to Birmingham in 1774 to enter into a partnership with the metalware manufacturer Matthew Boulton. The Boulton & Watt steam engine was to become, quite literally, one of the drivers of the Industrial Revolution in Britain and around the world. Although best known for his steam engine work, Watt was a man of many other talents. At the start of his career he worked as both a mathematical instrument maker and a civil engineer. In 1780 he invented the first reliable document copier. He was also a talented chemist who was jointly responsible for proving that water is a compound rather than an element. He was a member of the famous Lunar Portrait of James Watt by Sir Thomas Lawrence, 1812 Society of Birmingham, along with other Photo by Birmingham Museums Trust leading thinkers such as Matthew Boulton, Erasmus Darwin, Joseph Priestley and The 2019 James Watt Bicentenary Josiah Wedgwood. commemorative programme is The Boulton & Watt steam engine business coordinated by the Lunar Society. was highly successful and Watt became a We are delighted to be able to offer wealthy man.

  • AN INDUSTRIAL HIVE: BIRMINGHAM’S JEWELLERY QUARTER Carl Chinn
    AN INDUSTRIAL HIVE: BIRMINGHAM’S JEWELLERY QUARTER Carl Chinn Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter is famed nationally and internationally but locally its importance can be taken for granted or even overlooked – as can that of the jewellery trade itself which has a longstanding connection with our city. That lack of attention is not a new phenomenon. By the mid-nineteenth century, jewellery making was regarded as one of the four main Birmingham trades. Along with the brass trade and the manufacture of guns and buttons it flourished above the rest but very little was written about it. That is surprising for such an important industry which remains prominent in modern Birmingham and which has such a fascinating history covering more than 200 years. Birmingham Lives Archive Birmingham Lives Jewellers at work in the Jewellery Quarter in the 1950s. iStock AN INDUSTRIAL HIVE: BIRMINGHAM’S JEWELLERY QUARTER Goldsmiths Although the origins of the modern Jewellery Quarter lie in the eighteenth century, the working of precious metal in Birmingham can be traced to the later Middle Ages. Dick Holt’s research uncovered a tantalising reference from 1308 to ‘Birmingham pieces’ in an inventory of the possessions of the Master of the Knights Templar. He believed that the objects were doubtless small, although of high value, and seem to have been precious ornaments of some kind. What is certain is the presence of goldsmiths in that period.

  • The Birmingham Assay Office Is the First Assay Office to Be Certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council
    NEWS RELEASE Embargoed until 12 January 2012 THE BIRMINGHAM ASSAY OFFICE IS THE FIRST ASSAY OFFICE TO BE CERTIFIED BY THE RESPONSIBLE JEWELLERY COUNCIL LONDON - The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) announced today that The Birmingham Assay Office is the first Assay Office in the world to be certified as meeting the ethical, human rights, social and environmental standards established by the RJC’s Member Certification System. “RJC is delighted to congratulate The Birmingham Assay Office on its certification. The successful verification assessment was conducted by Roshini Wickramasinghe from SGS, one of the independent third-party auditing firms accredited to the RJC’s Member Certification System,” says Michael Rae, RJC’s Chief Executive Officer. A comprehensive audit covered The Assay Office’s diverse range of services, which extend far beyond its core business of assaying and hallmarking. Analytical and melting services carried out by The Laboratory came under inspection as did AnchorCert’s gemmological services, giving the Certification an extremely wide scope. Michael Allchin, Chief Executive of The Birmingham Assay Office, says, “The Birmingham Assay Office has actively promoted the high ethical standards that RJC represents and is very pleased to have achieved RJC certification. We work in partnership with several major retailers and international brands that are equally committed to the principles of the RJC. Our certification demonstrates that shared commitment, and provides reassurance that our values and practices are in line with our customers. This augments our existing ISO 9001 certification and 17025 accreditation which demonstrate our dedication to quality and continuous improvement.” Kay Alexander, Chairman of The Birmingham Assay Office, says, “I am really proud of the high standards set by everyone at The Birmingham Assay Office which are now recognised at an international level and of the commitment and hard work which have given us this acknowledgment.
