Description:Lantern slide of a diagram taken from an article entitled "Egyptian Potters at Work (From a Wall-Painting at Beni Hasan)".
The article outlines an Egyptian process for making ceramic cups through a series of illustrations. Publishing details for the article are unknown.
This lantern slide appears to be one of a group used for a presentation or slide show by Blake entitled “Staffordshire Pottery.”
A small folder containing approximately sixty reader cards was found in the same box as the slides. The cards contain information about the images. The card that appears to correspond to this slide reads;
"Egyptian Wall Painting. Pottery an ancient craft, according to one authority traced back 6500 years. Egyptian wall paintings made 5000 years ago show the operations much as in a modern factory."
