Description:A postcard containing an image of a pot bank print shop and workers, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Photographed by William Blake. n the reverse of the post card it is stated that the image was taken in 1880. However, this date is far too early. Blake was not born until the 1870s. It is estimated that this image was taken right about the turn of the century. The early dating was possibly designed to give the postcard added nostalgic appeal.

This image was used in a slide show elsewhere in the collection entitled "Staffordshire Pottery".

A reader card that corresponds with this image reads;

"A Potters Printer. The press &c. [sic] used in pottery printing. A design may be transferred to ware either before or after glazing."

Note: At certain magnifications a patterning effect will appear on this image due the nature of the original.
