1. Title: A Peek into the Past: A 19th Century Pottery Kiln Revealed in this Chromolithograph This chromolithograph, titled "Section d'un Four à Porcelaine du XIXe Siècle" (Cross section through a 19th century pottery kiln), offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of a pottery kiln from the 19th century. Produced by Ris Paquots for their comprehensive publication "Histoire Générale de la Faience Ancienne Française et Étrangère" (General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery), this hand-finished lithograph was published in Paris in 1874. The image showcases the intricate design and engineering of a pottery kiln from the 19th century. The kiln is depicted in cross-section, revealing its various components. At the heart of the kiln lies the furnace, where the intense heat is generated. Surrounding the furnace is a network of fireboxes, filled with fuel, which provide the necessary heat to fire the pottery. The chimney, an essential feature, rises above the kiln, allowing the smoke and gases to escape. The kiln's interior is filled with a layer of ash, which acts as insulation and helps regulate the temperature during the firing process. The pottery pieces are arranged carefully within the kiln, with each piece resting on a bed of sawdust or other insulating material. The meticulous arrangement of the pottery allows for even heating and ensures the best possible results. This chromolithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship involved in the production of pottery during the 19th century. It provides a unique perspective on the inner workings of a pottery kiln, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich history of ceramics.
