Description:Lantern slide showing a mould maker at work.
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;
"The Mould Maker. Most pottery is now made in or on moulds, and the mould maker is a key man on the factory. He produces fresh shapes and keeps the works supplied with a sufficiency of moulds of which large quantities are used."
