Comments[edit]

I didn't create this page, but it seams as if this person is notable enough for an article. I will look into it, keep until then.

Orrery painting mouse-over[edit]

The image on the far right is stated as being Earl Ferrers. But I believe this has always been accepted as being an image of Joseph Wright himself. Could someone check this out or contact Derby Museum and Art Gallery for their input? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parkywiki (talk • contribs) 00:40, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
