EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "Pitcher, 1800/25" created by an unknown artist. This exquisite ceramic jug was crafted in Shelton, Staffordshire, England during the 19th century specifically for the American market. It serves as a commemoration of the famous naval battle between two formidable warships: The Enterprize and Boxer. The scene depicted on this stunning crockery is none other than the momentous clash between Royal Navy ship HMS Boxer and the US Navy brig USS Enterprise during the War of 1812. The engravers and printers responsible for its creation were Bentley, Wear & Bourne - namely William Bentley, William Wear, and Samuel Bourne. With intricate details and vibrant colors adorning its surface, this decorative lusterware jug transports us back to a time when naval warfare played a crucial role in shaping nations. It symbolizes both British and American heritage art while capturing an essential chapter in history. As we gaze upon this artwork at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to arts of the Americas, it reminds us of how transportation by water played a vital role in conflicts like these. This object not only represents pottery but also stands as an emblematic tribute to bravery displayed by sailors from both sides. Through this photo print's lens into our past lies an enigmatic tale that continues to intrigue us with its mysteries - all thanks to Unknown's masterful craftsmanship.
