These are your last few weeks to see "From #PrintToPlate: Views of the East on Transferware" featuring features blue-and-white wares made by Spode and a number of other British potters and prints of scenes of famous architectural views from the East. A number of superbly illustrated books made by European travelers and artists in the early nineteenth century fueled the British public’s fascination with foreign locales. In an era before photography, over-sized tomes depicted the stunning landscapes and historic architecture of India, the Middle East, and China. Potters began using images from these scenic publications on ceramics as early as 1810. Makers rarely copied scenes faithfully; instead, they freely adapted imagery—adding, removing, and even reversing sections of prints. Elements from several prints were often combined into one design
