Printing in a single color on earthenware and stoneware 1820-1850 
Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery 1929.29

Shape Type: Miscellaneous Pattern Type: Children Date: 1830-1840 Dimensions:
Maker: Unknown Description: Earthenware child's plate printed with one of a series of jokes about the possible applications of steam power in daily life. The 1830s was the decade when steam power was applied to passenger railways. The idea of applying steam power to ploughing (seen here) seemed just as preposterous as applying it to gravedigging or walking (see two other plates in this series). |
