EDITORS COMMENTS
Throwing an earthenware vessel, c1860. This print captures a significant moment in the history of pottery making during the Industrial Revolution. The image showcases a belt-driven wheel, commonly used at renowned factories like Wedgwood and Copeland. A young boy stands beside the wheel, skillfully regulating its speed by raising or lowering a belt on conical drums. In the center of the frame, we see a baller intently weighing clay for the next creation to be molded. This scene epitomizes both the artistry and mechanization that defined this era of manufacturing. The fusion of human craftsmanship with emerging technologies revolutionized traditional ceramic production methods. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an industry where child labor was unfortunately prevalent. It raises questions about societal norms and working conditions during that time period while also highlighting advancements in technology that shaped modern trade practices. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical documentation, emphasizing every detail from the intricate machinery to each individual's role within this bustling workshop. Through this print, we are transported back to 19th-century Britain—a time when potters were not only artisans but also pioneers in embracing new techniques that would forever change their craft.
