	Sowerby Pressed Glass
		The Sowerby family had been manufacturing glass since 1760, but things were about to change when George Sowerby's son, John, joined the firm in 1820.
		In 1871 John's son, John George Sowerby, a well known artist, was made manager and colour mixer in the firm; who became one of the major figureheads for the advancement of pressed glass.
		Sowerby became a limited company on 30 December 1881, and changed their name to Sowerby's Ellison Glass Works Ltd. By 1882, it was reported in the glass and pottery press that they were the largest pressed glass manufacturer in the world, with a production of 150 tons of finished pieces of glass every week.

	L.H. Conklin - James Sowerby
		James Sowerby was a careful, meticulous and observant artisan and this is evident in the quality of the workmanship of the drawings he produced and the copperplates that he personally engraved and etched.
		Sowerby's technique for producing the plates was relatively simple: The copperplate-engraved outline of the mineral image was printed, usually in fl ink (in a few instances colored inks were used), on an octavo-sized sheet of paper; and was then hand-tinted within the printed outlines using watercolor paints.
		Sowerby's publications acted as a clearing-house, as it were, for observations and discoveries among the small number of geologists, mineralogists and botanists, who were widely scattered and who had little opportunity to exchange their ideas or many of their specimens.

	Sowerby, James (1757-1822)
		The Sowerby family is without equal in the history of natural history for the depth and variety of its contribution to science.
		Sowerby set himself two tasks with this work: he wished to re-emphasise the significance of brightness and darkness, which after Newton had fallen into obscurity; and he wished to clarify the difference which exists between colours.
		The accumulated specimens that Sowerby used in his works took on, more and more, the appearance of a museum, and in 1796 he was obliged to add a room to the rear of his house in which to store them.

		Sowerby's text describes the optical mixtures which result when narrow and tightly packed strips of primary colour are applied to paper.
		Sowerby's system originated at the same time as the English doctor and physicist Thomas Young (1773-1829) submitted his theory (later to be confirmed) stating that the eye generates all colours by combining only three wavelengths.

		There is a record of the Sowerby Glassworks in Gateshead, North East of England in 1807, and the company continued to produce pressed glass wares in the Gateshead area until 1972, when the glass workshop was closed.
		Sowerby was certainly the longest surviving of the North Eastern glassworks, and during its 165 years of operation there were some major high points.
		Sowerby art glass was highly regarded at the time, but the company's reputation for pressed glass later completely over-shadowed this period in their history.
