A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery Solar System Espresso Cup
The title of the piece is "A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery". The painting was done by Joseph Wright of Derby in 1766. The painting depicts a teacher giving a lecture about the solar system to his students. The teacher is using an orrery, which is a mechanical model of the solar system. Some people believe that the teacher in the painting is modelled after John Whitehurst, but others believe it bears a resemblance to a painting of Isaac Newton. The orrery demonstration uses a lamp to mimic the sun. - This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

Creator Review
I am the artist who created this image.
I have not ordered an espresso cup before.
I have ordered other zazzle mugs before and we use them constantly at home.
I love these small cups, I will be giving them as presents to everyone from now on.
The product arrived in the UK 7 days from ordering, impressive.
I ordered these cups from StrangeStore for an exhibition of my artwork and the zazzle have attracted so much attention. As a long term professional illustrator and designer I have very exacting standards, so I was very interested to see how this design would print.
It is simply brilliant.
The printing is awesome!
I have worked with top pottery companies in the UK and this printing is really very good indeed. I have no hesitation displaying this product right next to the original artwork, it's that good.

I love this espresso mug! It's big enough for a double espresso, not too heavy though and just looks cute. The sloth on it looks friendly, almost as if it was smiling and together with the white hearts on the right and left hand side, it is nothing but very cute. Also very pleased with the intensity of the colors. Colors are really good. Print is sharp.
