EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Alfred Meakin's tile warehouse in Stoke-on-Trent, England, in April 1913. The image, titled "Warehouse of Tiles Ready for Packing," showcases the meticulous process of preparing the beautiful ceramic tiles for distribution. The scene is filled with a sense of industry and productivity, as workers carefully sort and pack the intricately designed tiles, each piece a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the Alfred Meakin Pottery. The tiles, adorned with various patterns and designs, are neatly arranged on long tables, ready to be wrapped and secured for shipping. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the working conditions and daily life of the warehouse during the 1910s. The large, open space is filled with natural light, casting long shadows across the tiles and highlighting their unique beauty. The visit of King George V and Queen Mary to the Alfred Meakin Pottery on April 23, 1913, added an air of excitement and importance to the warehouse. Although not depicted in the photograph, the royal visit undoubtedly brought attention and prestige to the company and its employees. This photograph is a fascinating reminder of the rich history of the ceramics industry in Stoke-on-Trent and the intricate process of producing and packing these beautiful tiles, which continue to be cherished and admired to this day.
