Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820) by John (not Joseph) Flaxman (1755-1826), a Jasperware portrait medallion by Wedgwood, 1779, is reproduced here courtesy of the Trustees of the British Museum. 1887.0307.1.60.

The neoclassical depiction of Banks in white relief on a blue stoneware base, evokes a Roman Emperor.
