EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white lithograph by Thomas Barker, showcased at the Art Institute of Chicago. This 19th-century artwork provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of British tilemakers during this era. Barker, also known as Barker of Bath, skillfully captured the essence of local industry and the people behind it. The image depicts a group of men and women, engaged in their respective tasks at the tile factory. The tilemakers are seen in various stages of production, from shaping and molding to painting and firing the tiles. Children are also present, adding a sense of community and intergenerational learning. The women, dressed in traditional attire, are shown working alongside the men, demonstrating the gender equality that was prevalent in local industries during this time. Barker's use of the polyautograph on paper and lithotint technique adds depth and texture to the image, making it a visually striking representation of the tilemaking profession. The tilemakers' expressions and body language convey a sense of focus and dedication to their craft, highlighting the importance of this occupation in the local economy and heritage of England. This print not only serves as a historical record but also as an artistic expression of the people and their work during the 19th century. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this significant piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage and industrial history of Britain during this period.
