- ZYKLON-B, a suite of screenprints produced in 2011, was inspired by Carvalho's recent visit to the Jewish Museum in Berlin, and it addresses the events of the Holocaust in a sequence of prints based on amateur photographs he saw in the Museum. Re-scaled and printed many times their original size, the images are blurred, ambiguous, ominous and hard to read. Showing various acts of violence against Jews and buildings such as the SS HQ in Berlin, the images make up a disjointed but telling narrative. The portfolio is subtitled 'Let the sun see you crying' (adapted from the title of the song by British 60s band Gerry and the Pacemakers, 'Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying') and the prints are printed in black on bright yellow. The choice of yellow is itself ambiguous - yellow with its associations of sunshine can be positive and cheerful, but it is also symbolises disease and decay and is used as a warning sign for hazardous substances. The cover of the portfolio has been carefully considered: made of grey cardboard, with black binding and black stencilled lettering, it carries associations of packing cases, freight, concrete bunkers. It is held closed by a band of thin black elastic which is knotted in such a way as to suggest barbed wire.

- Object history note:
- From the studio of the potter Lucie Rie (1902-95), formerly at her home, 18 Albion Mews, Paddington, London between 1938 and 1995. Following her death, her studio contents were preserved by her executors, and title was transferred by her beneficiaries, Mr Max and Mrs Yvonne Mayer, to the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. A number of items were transferred from the Potteries Museum to this Museum for long term display in gallery 143 during redevelopment of the ceramics galleries in 2009.
- Object history note:
- In late 1939, soon after Lucie Rie had settled in England, an emigre friend, Fritz Lampl (1892-1955), suggested that she should help him in his workshop, pressing glass buttons for women's clothes. Lampl, a poet, had founded the Bimini company in Vienna to produce stylish lampworked glass figures. Bimini had also been an outlet for Rie's pots.
Lampl's Soho button-making business, Orplid, was destroyed by a bomb in 1941 but he set up a new workshop in Sussex Gardens. Lampl's partner, a Mr. Schenkel, encouraged Rie to combine button-making with ceramics and produce ceramic buttons for haute couture. Another young Austrian, Rudi Neufeldt, made moulds and pressings for Rie's approval. Soon after work began, the Government closed Rie's 'button factory' as being a non-essential business for wartime. Rie re-opened her studio in 1945 and in 1946 Hans Coper joined her to make buttons as well as pots. Rie also produced earrings and necklaces.

- The renowned studio potter, Lucie Rie (1902-95), emigrated from Austria to England before the Second World War. As a member of Vienna's Jewish community, she fled the advance of Nazism in 1938. Arriving in London, she established a pottery studio on the ground floor of her home,18 Albion Mews, Paddington. After her death in 1995, the contents of her studio were preserved and moved to the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. A selection of items from one corner of Rie's studio were redisplayed in gallery 143 of the V&A in 2009 as part of the redevelopment of the ceramics galleries. The exact positioning of these items was replicated as far as possible from old photographs in order to evoke Rie's working conditions and show some of the equipment and materials she used to produce her pots and buttons.

- The renowned studio potter, Lucie Rie (1902-95), emigrated from Austria to England before the Second World War. As a member of Vienna's Jewish community, she fled the advance of Nazism in 1938. Arriving in London, she established a pottery studio on the ground floor of her home,18 Albion Mews, Paddington. After her death in 1995, the contents of her studio were preserved and moved to the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. A selection of items from one corner of Rie's studio were redisplayed in gallery 143 of the V&A in 2009 as part of the redevelopment of the ceramics galleries. The exact positioning of these items was replicated as far as possible from old photographs in order to evoke Rie's working conditions and show some of the equipment and materials she used to produce her pots and buttons.

- From the studio of the potter Lucie Rie (1902-95), formerly at her home, 18 Albion Mews, Paddington, London between 1938 and 1995. Following her death, her studio contents were preserved by her executors, and title was transferred by her beneficiaries, Mr Max and Mrs Yvonne Mayer, to the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. A number of items were transferred from the Potteries Museum to this Museum for long term display in gallery 143 during redevelopment of the ceramics galleries in 2009.
- Object history note:
- In late 1939, soon after Lucie Rie had settled in England, an emigre friend, Fritz Lampl (1892-1955), suggested that she should help him in his workshop, pressing glass buttons for women's clothes. Lampl, a poet, had founded the Bimini company in Vienna to produce stylish lampworked glass figures. Bimini had also been an outlet for Rie's pots.
Lampl's Soho button-making business, Orplid, was destroyed by a bomb in 1941 but he set up a new workshop in Sussex Gardens. Lampl's partner, a Mr. Schenkel, encouraged Rie to combine button-making with ceramics and produce ceramic buttons for haute couture. Another young Austrian, Rudi Neufeldt, made moulds and pressings for Rie's approval. Soon after work began, the Government closed Rie's 'button factory' as being a non-essential business for wartime. Rie re-opened her studio in 1945 and in 1946 Hans Coper joined her to make buttons as well as pots. Rie also produced earrings and necklaces.

- Bought for £8 10s from the Bernal Collection at Christie's, London, 26 March 1855, lot 2332.
Ralph Bernal (1783–1854) was a renowned collector and objects from his collection are now in museums across the world, including the V&A. He was born into a Sephardic Jewish family of Spanish descent, but was baptised into the Christian faith at the age of 22. Bernal studied at Christ’s College, Cambridge, and subsequently became a prominent Whig politician. He built a reputation for himself as a man of taste and culture through the collection he amassed and later in life he became the president of the British Archaeological Society. Yet the main source of income which enabled him to do this was the profits from enslaved labour.
In 1811, Bernal inherited three sugar plantations in Jamaica, where over 500 people were eventually enslaved. Almost immediately, he began collecting works of art and antiquities. After the emancipation of those enslaved in the British Caribbean in the 1830s, made possible in part by acts of their own resistance, Bernal was awarded ‘compensation’ of more than £11,450 (equivalent to over £1.5 million today). This was for the loss of income projected to have come from 564 people enslaved on his estates. These included people like Antora, and her son Edward, who in August 1834 was around five years old (*citation*). Receiving the money appears to have led to an escalation of Bernal’s collecting.
When Bernal died in 1855, he was celebrated for ‘the perfection of his taste, as well as the extent of his knowledge’ (*citation*). His collection was dispersed in a major auction during which the Museum of Ornamental Art at Marlborough House, which later became the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A), was the biggest single buyer.

- Powder flasks are portable containers of wood, horn, metal, leather or ceramic used to hold the priming powder or gunpowder for firearms. They normally terminated in a metal nozzle which also served as a powder measure, closed by a plug or spring cap, and are often highly decorated.
This ivory circular powder flask is carved with hunting scenes including a lion and a bear. It is in the tradition of the works of Johann Michael Maucher (1645- after 1690) but was made by an unknown artist in about 1650-1700 in Germany.

- Object history note:
- From the studio of the potter Lucie Rie (1902-95), formerly at her home, 18 Albion Mews, Paddington, London between 1938 and 1995. Following her death, her studio contents were preserved by her executors, and title was transferred by her beneficiaries, Mr Max and Mrs Yvonne Mayer, to the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. A number of items were transferred from the Potteries Museum to this Museum for long term display in gallery 143 during redevelopment of the ceramics galleries in 2009.
- Object history note:
- In late 1939, soon after Lucie Rie had settled in England, an emigre friend, Fritz Lampl (1892-1955), suggested that she should help him in his workshop, pressing glass buttons for women's clothes. Lampl, a poet, had founded the Bimini company in Vienna to produce stylish lampworked glass figures. Bimini had also been an outlet for Rie's pots.
Lampl's Soho button-making business, Orplid, was destroyed by a bomb in 1941 but he set up a new workshop in Sussex Gardens. Lampl's partner, a Mr. Schenkel, encouraged Rie to combine button-making with ceramics and produce ceramic buttons for haute couture. Another young Austrian, Rudi Neufeldt, made moulds and pressings for Rie's approval. Soon after work began, the Government closed Rie's 'button factory' as being a non-essential business for wartime. Rie re-opened her studio in 1945 and in 1946 Hans Coper joined her to make buttons as well as pots. Rie also produced earrings and necklaces.

- The renowned studio potter, Lucie Rie (1902-95), emigrated from Austria to England before the Second World War. As a member of Vienna's Jewish community, she fled the advance of Nazism in 1938. Arriving in London, she established a pottery studio on the ground floor of her home,18 Albion Mews, Paddington. After her death in 1995, the contents of her studio were preserved and moved to the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. A selection of items from one corner of Rie's studio were redisplayed in gallery 143 of the V&A in 2009 as part of the redevelopment of the ceramics galleries. The exact positioning of these items was replicated as far as possible from old photographs in order to evoke Rie's working conditions and show some of the equipment and materials she used to produce her pots and buttons.

Another young Austrian, Rudi Neufeldt, made moulds and pressings for Rie's approval. Soon after work began, the Government closed Rie's 'button factory' as being a non-essential business for wartime. Rie re-opened her studio in 1945 and in 1946 Hans Coper joined her to make buttons as well as pots. Rie also produced earrings and necklaces.

- The renowned studio potter, Lucie Rie (1902-95), emigrated from Austria to England before the Second World War. As a member of Vienna's Jewish community, she fled the advance of Nazism in 1938. Arriving in London, she established a pottery studio on the ground floor of her home,18 Albion Mews, Paddington. After her death in 1995, the contents of her studio were preserved and moved to the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. A selection of items from one corner of Rie's studio were redisplayed in gallery 143 of the V&A in 2009 as part of the redevelopment of the ceramics galleries. The exact positioning of these items was replicated as far as possible from old photographs in order to evoke Rie's working conditions and show some of the equipment and materials she used to produce her pots and buttons.

- Object history note:
- From the studio of the potter Lucie Rie (1902-95), formerly at her home, 18 Albion Mews, Paddington, London between 1938 and 1995. Following her death, her studio contents were preserved by her executors, and title was transferred by her beneficiaries, Mr Max and Mrs Yvonne Mayer, to the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. A number of items were transferred from the Potteries Museum to this Museum for long term display in gallery 143 during redevelopment of the ceramics galleries in 2009.
- Object history note:
- In late 1939, soon after Lucie Rie had settled in England, an emigre friend, Fritz Lampl (1892-1955), suggested that she should help him in his workshop, pressing glass buttons for women's clothes. Lampl, a poet, had founded the Bimini company in Vienna to produce stylish lampworked glass figures. Bimini had also been an outlet for Rie's pots.
Lampl's Soho button-making business, Orplid, was destroyed by a bomb in 1941 but he set up a new workshop in Sussex Gardens. Lampl's partner, a Mr. Schenkel, encouraged Rie to combine button-making with ceramics and produce ceramic buttons for haute couture. Another young Austrian, Rudi Neufeldt, made moulds and pressings for Rie's approval. Soon after work began, the Government closed Rie's 'button factory' as being a non-essential business for wartime. Rie re-opened her studio in 1945 and in 1946 Hans Coper joined her to make buttons as well as pots. Rie also produced earrings and necklaces.
