EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1860 showcases the intricate process of throwing an earthenware vessel at the Wedgwood & Copeland factories in England. The belt-driven wheel, regulated by a young boy raising or lowering the belt on conical drums, demonstrates the early stages of mechanization in ceramics production.
In this scene, a skilled potter known as a baller is weighing clay for the next item to be made. The focus and precision required in this task highlight the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating each piece during the Industrial Revolution.
The image captures not only the labor-intensive nature of pottery manufacture but also hints at the technological advancements that were transforming traditional methods. The juxtaposition of old-world techniques with emerging industrial processes offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when innovation was reshaping how goods were produced.
As we admire this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the dedication and skill of those who paved the way for modern manufacturing practices. This print serves as a tribute to both artistry and industry, showcasing how creativity and ingenuity can work hand-in-hand to create beautiful works of art.
