Museum Posed Artefact Charger Pewter Preston Park

EDITORS COMMENTS
Preston Hall Museum adds a rare serving plate to its collection, showcasing the craftsmanship of Stockton pewterer, Edmund Harvey. This exquisite piece, dating back to the 18th century, is one of the few made by Harvey for domestic use. Renowned for his exceptional work in creating pewter items for churches, Harvey's lesser-known contributions include being an originator of the Sunday School movement and establishing a ragged school for orphans in town. The photograph captures this remarkable artefact in all its glory. The charger gleams with elegance and sophistication as it takes center stage at Preston Hall Museum. Its intricate design reflects the skill and artistry that went into crafting such pieces during this era. This snapshot from May 20th, 1986 transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of Preston Park during the 1980s. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and heritage preserved within these museum walls. As we admire this print from Memory Lane Prints, let us appreciate not only the beauty of this unique serving plate but also acknowledge Edmund Harvey's significant contributions beyond his craftmanship. His dedication to education and care for orphaned children exemplify his impact on society beyond his artistic talents.
