EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare glimpse into the world of The Martin brothers at their Southall Pottery studio. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the three talented siblings - Walter Frazer Martin, Robert Wallace Martin, and Edwin Bruce Martin - who were pioneers in the field of British art pottery. In this intimate portrait, we see these skilled potters engrossed in their craft. Surrounded by stoneware vases adorned with intricate decorations and whimsical figures, they work diligently to create masterpieces that would later become renowned as "Martinware". Their attention to detail is evident as they meticulously shape clay into unique forms while birds perch on shelves nearby, adding a touch of nature to their creative space. The composition exudes a sense of camaraderie and dedication shared among these talented men. Each brother brings his own expertise to the table, contributing to the success of their artistic venture. This photograph serves as a testament not only to their individual talents but also to their collective vision for pushing boundaries in ceramic artistry. Preserved within a private collection today, this historical snapshot offers us a window into Victorian-era craftsmanship and highlights the enduring legacy left behind by The Martin brothers. It stands as an homage to their contributions within the realm of British pottery and reminds us of how art can transcend time through its beauty and innovation.
