EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Prehistoric potters" takes us back in time to witness the ancient art of pottery-making. Created by an anonymous European School artist in the 19th century, this artwork showcases a scene from prehistoric times when ceramics were first being crafted. The image depicts a group of skilled potters diligently working together, their hands expertly shaping clay into various vessels. Surrounding them are piles of firewood and hot flames, highlighting the crucial role that fire played in this early industrial process. The intense heat provided by the fire was essential for transforming raw clay into durable pottery. Through this educational artwork, we gain insight into how our ancestors harnessed the power of fire to manufacture essential items like ceramics and furs. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and the ingenuity required to adapt natural resources for practical purposes. This particular print is part of a Liebig card series published during the late 19th or early 20th century, focusing on different applications of fire in industry. Preserved within a private collection today, it offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. As we gaze upon these prehistoric potters at work, we can't help but marvel at their craftsmanship and reflect on how far humanity has come since those ancient times.
