| Figure 15 Plate, “prayer meeting,” unknown factory, Stoke-on-Trent, ca. 1852–1855. Molded earthenware transfer-printed in warm black enamel. D. 7 5/8". (Courtesy, Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, 81.34.) The image of the “Prayer Meeting” is taken directly from the Cruikshank illustration shown in fig. 14. The mantel decor is typical of aspirational middle-class taste, not a true slave home interior. | |
