Painted Prints

Before images were transferred onto ceramics with bat transfers and tissue paper, prints were used as design sources for images. Delicate hand painting allowed for the replication of personally significant scenes like this one and like this great house,  "BURLEIGH-HOUSE" painted with draftsman-like precision onto a ca. 1745 plate. And the next slide of a Cambrian Pottery jug painted by Thomas Pardoe.
