Works
Holtzendorff worked for the Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Company and has drawn sketches representing the landscape of Derbyshire that were applied to china.[2]
Becket Street by Georg Holtzendorff. Shows the Derby Museum and Art Gallery c. 1882, when there was a house for the curator.
His main work was the decoration of the Gladstone Dessert Service, presented by the Liberal Working Men of Derby to Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone in 1883. A watercolor by Holtzendorff (c. 1882), with a view of Becket Street, Derby, with the Derby Museum and Art Gallery in the background, is the only remaining study on paper linked to the Gladstone service.[3]

gollark: Yes, but if it was a game feature it could be done safely.
gollark: I mean, *arguably* they might be *slightly* terrible ideas with horrible downsides, but you know.
gollark: I came up with the idea of making names a tradeable good like eggs/hatchlings, and wanted to post that along with my earlier one of increasing the length limit and removing character set constraints, in order to encourage more varied discussion.
gollark: I didn't even get to post my great ideas about it.
