Assistant Bellboy Ceramics Feb17 Makes Potter Potters Pottery Turning Wheel
EDITORS COMMENTS
Street Potter - London, Circa 1900s This photograph captures a moment in time from the bustling streets of London during the early 1900s. In the heart of the city, on a cobblestone street lined with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, a potter and his assistant are hard at work creating ceramics. The potter, with a focused expression, skillfully turns the pottery wheel, shaping a jug with deft movements. His assistant, dressed in a simple apron, adds water to the wheel to keep it lubricated. A small crowd has gathered around the scene, intrigued by the age-old craft. Onlookers, some with children in tow, watch in awe as the potter creates a masterpiece before their very eyes. Two bellboys, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, stand off to the side, perhaps taking a break from their duties or simply enjoying the spectacle. The rich, earthy tones of the pottery and the worn, textured surface of the street add depth and texture to the image. The scene is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional crafts and the human connection to the creative process. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the art of pottery was a common sight on the streets of London.
