EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of a skilled potter in Terneuzen. The workshop is filled to the brim with an array of vases and dishes, creating an atmosphere that exudes creativity and craftsmanship. Near the window, we see the potter engrossed in his work. With hands covered in clay, he meticulously shapes and molds it on a harness, bringing life to his creations. His focused expression reveals both dedication and passion for his craft. Beneath him stands his apprentice, diligently working at the turntable. This young protégé learns from his master's expertise as they collaborate to produce beautiful pottery pieces. Their partnership symbolizes the passing down of knowledge through generations—a tradition deeply rooted in artistry. The engraving by Xavier Mellery perfectly captures this scene from nature, illustrating Camille Lemonnier's story "Belgium" published in 1888. Through this image, we are transported not only to Terneuzen but also into a world where art intertwines with daily life. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this historical moment for us to appreciate today. It serves as a reminder of the timeless beauty found within traditional crafts and highlights their significance in shaping cultural heritage.
