EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, pay a visit to Ashtead Potteries in Surrey during the late 1920s. The potteries, founded in 1920, were established with the noble intention of providing training in pottery to disabled ex-servicemen who had been injured during the First World War. The Duke and Duchess are seen in the image, dressed in formal attire, as they engage with the potters and observe the intricate process of creating pottery on the wheel. The Duke, with a keen interest in the art form, watches intently as a potter demonstrates his skills, while the Duchess, with a gentle smile, looks on approvingly. The future King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, were known for their dedication to supporting charitable causes and were deeply committed to helping those in need. The atmosphere in the pottery is one of camaraderie and purpose, as the disabled ex-servicemen work together to create beautiful and functional pottery pieces. The Duke and Duchess' visit served as a morale boost for the trainees, who were given the opportunity to showcase their newfound skills and receive recognition for their hard work. The photograph captures a moment in time when the Duke and Duchess of York, who would later ascend to the throne, took the time to connect with the community and support a worthy cause. The image is a poignant reminder of the transformative power of art and the importance of providing opportunities for those in need to learn new skills and regain their independence.
