EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Pottery kiln a98_04551" takes us on a mesmerizing journey back in time to the heart of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. The image showcases an unidentified pottery kiln at work within the bustling confines of an industrial setting. The skilled eye of renowned photographer Eric de Mare has masterfully captured this moment between 1945 and 1980, immortalizing the rich heritage and craftsmanship that once thrived in this region. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to an era when pottery-making was not just a trade but a way of life. The composition is strikingly oblique, offering us a unique perspective that highlights both the grandeur and intricacy of the kiln's design. Its towering structure dominates the frame with its imposing presence, while billows of smoke gracefully dance into the sky above. Every detail seems meticulously preserved - from the worn bricks forming its walls to the delicate patterns etched onto its surface by countless hands over time. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how industry shaped communities like Stoke-on-Trent; it stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. Eric de Mare's lens captures more than just physical structures; it encapsulates stories untold within these walls - tales whispered by generations who poured their passion into creating beautiful ceramics for all corners of society. It is through images like these that we can appreciate our collective history and honor those who came before us.
