Figure 22  Plate, probably northern England or Scotland, ca. 1855. Whiteware. D. 7". (Courtesy, Rex Stark; photo, Gavin Ashworth.) This earthenware polychrome transfer-printed and painted plate illustrates the “death of uncle tom.” The plate was meant to appeal to a person of higher social standing than the example shown in fig. 21. Here, the teal blue sponged border frames the puce image of Tom lying on his deathbed.
