EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of a finished goods warehouse at Alfred Meakin, a renowned pottery manufacturer in Stoke-on-Trent, England, in April 1913. The date of the 13th of the month holds a significant royal connection, as King George V and Queen Mary were scheduled to visit the factory the following day. In the image, an array of exquisitely crafted finished goods, adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colors, are meticulously prepared for packing. The women in the photograph, dressed in their work attire, are deeply engrossed in their tasks, their focused expressions reflecting the industry and dedication that defined the era. The stacks of finished goods, neatly arranged and ready for distribution, speak to the efficiency and scale of production at Alfred Meakin. The 1910s were a period of growth and innovation for the pottery industry, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily workings of a thriving enterprise. The anticipation of the royal visit adds an extra layer of excitement to the scene, as the team at Alfred Meakin worked tirelessly to ensure their finest creations were presented in the best possible light for the esteemed guests. This photograph is a testament to the dedication, skill, and hard work that went into producing the beautiful pottery that came out of Stoke-on-Trent during this time.
