28.75 x 25 cm. Donated by the Estate of Luke Lindoe to the Collection of the Esplanade Art Gallery. Luke made these during the 1970s using Plainsman H440 and H443. The white slip is the raw 3C clay and the red patches are a red leaded glaze third-fired on at cone 04. For these he also decorated using liquid bright gold lustres.
The mural is made from unglazed stained stoneware tiles, each cut to shape. The inscription reads: "THE DOCTOR OF TODAY TAKES HIS PLACE AT THE HEAD OF A VERY LONG LINE OF DISTINGUISHED PREDECESSORS; THE KNOWLEDGE AND TRADITION THAY MAKES THE MEDICAL PROFESSION WHAT IT IS TODAY GROWS FROM
THE GREAT DOCTORS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AND OF MEDIEVAL EUROPE, OF GREECE, OF EGYPT AND BEYOND - LOST IN THE PAST. THIS MOSAIC PAYS TRIBUTE TO THAT VAST HISTORY."
