Description:Postcard with an view of two women operating a potter's wheel at a Longton pot bank in Stoke-on-Trent.
On the reverse of the post card it is stated that the image was taken in 1880. However, this date is 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.
Note: At certain magnifications a patterning effect will appear on this image due the nature of the original.
