EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pottery: A presser at work" takes us back to 19th century England, offering a glimpse into the craft industry of that era. The image showcases an English School presser diligently working on pottery, surrounded by various tools and materials. This illustration was originally created for "The Pottery Object Lesson" in Ceramic Art around 1900. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this labor-intensive trade, highlighting the intricate process involved in creating ceramic masterpieces. The attention to detail is evident as we witness the presser's focused expression and precise movements. In this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the importance of craftsmanship during this period. Guilds played a significant role in shaping these skills, ensuring high-quality handiwork passed down through generations. As we delve into this artwork, it transports us to a time when school lessons often revolved around practical skills like pottery-making. It serves as a testament to both the educational system and employment opportunities available at that time. Through Bridgeman Images' print reproduction expertise, we can now appreciate this historical piece within our own homes or galleries. This remarkable engraving allows us to connect with our past while celebrating the enduring beauty of ceramics and traditional craftsmanship.
