| Two Sketches By J. W. Mellor | facing Page 114 |
| The figure on the left of the upper sketch, The Maori Salutation, is Mellor himself. The lower sketch, entitled The First Technical Association in Quest of Knowledge (Period 1690), is explained by this caption: 'Messrs. Elers took extreme precautions to preserve their supposed secrets of manufacture . . . and they tried in every way to protect themselves against the inquisitiveness of neighbouring potters.—Rise and Progress of the Staffordshire Potteries.' Both these illustrations and the caption are taken from Mellor's Uncle Joe's Nonsense: A Medley of Fun and Philosophy (1934). | |
