Description:Lantern slide showing two pottery workers operating a scouring machine.
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;
"Scouring Machine. Ware is fitted into crates which are placed in a revolving drum containing crushed saggar the action of which scours off the flint. This methood deals with larger quantities and also prevents the dust flying."
