A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

English earthenware and stoneware, at the present day, finds his task considerably complicated by the labours of a number of predecessors in the 3same field. Unfortunately, most of the early writers on this 3subject wrote with much greater zeal than discretion, and it has been a serious task to disentangle from the narratives of Simeon Shaw, LI. Jewitt, W. Chaffers, and Miss Meteyard, the true facts connected with the origin and development ft of the English earthenwares and stonewares of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Where there has been so much repetition of ill-understood tradition, and such an evident bias in favour of particular men or particular factories, it is not always possible to arrive at such a view as can be put forward without hesitation, and some amount of misgiving. Fortunately, the more competent and conscientious work of Mr. Solon, Professor Church, and of Mr. Hobson in his lately issued British Museum catalogue, helps to clear up ,3 many difficulties. My own experience as a student and as a potter, has, however, forced me to certain conclusions, which I have embodied in the following pages, and it will be found that the views herein expressed, on many subjects, differ in some important particulars from those that have hitherto been accepted. There is scarcely a chapter in the book which does not contain either fresh information or some novel view of the subject under discussion.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
