EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the heart of Britain's industrial revolution in the mid-19th century. The image showcases a skilled potter throwing an earthenware vessel on a belt-driven wheel, commonly used at renowned factories like Wedgwood & Copeland. A young boy stands nearby, diligently regulating the speed of the wheel by raising or lowering a belt on conical drums. The scene exudes both artistry and mechanization as we witness the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with emerging industrial techniques. The wood engraving, created around 1860, beautifully captures this pivotal moment in history when manual labor began to intertwine with machinery. Intriguingly, we see another aspect of pottery production depicted here - a baller weighing clay for the next item to be made. This detail highlights not only the precision required in ceramics manufacture but also emphasizes how every step was meticulously executed by skilled artisans. As we delve into this snapshot from England's past, it becomes evident that this image symbolizes more than just pottery-making; it represents an era marked by innovation and progress. It serves as a reminder of how technological advancements transformed various industries during that time period while simultaneously showcasing the dedication and expertise of individuals who contributed to these groundbreaking changes.
