Pottery busts such as this were displayed in working and middle-class homes in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Such items could indicate their owners' interests, taste and religious and political views. It is part of a long tradition of portrait objects, displayed in ordinary homes or encountered in public spaces, which form an important aspect of everyday visual experience. A portrait of William Booth may also have been a reminder to the owners to do good works.
