All Walks of Life offers a unique opportunity to get to know the
eighteenth-century people of Saxony, Paris, London, and
St. Petersburg through the Meissen porcelain sculpture of The
Alan Shimmerman Collection. Johann Joachim Kaendler, along
with his fellow modelers and painters at Meissen, captured
glimpses of everyday life by paying meticulous attention to the
smallest details: the carefully arranged tray of a trinket seller,
the personal writing of a love letter, the larding tools of a cook
preparing a hare. The Shimmerman Collection's focus on groups
of town criers and artisans provides a fresh look at the creation,
production, and distribution of Meissen porcelain. The publication
includes the first comprehensive scientific analysis of a major
collection of Meissen figures.
