Comments/Information/Identification: Print recalling the Great Chesterfield Potato Disaster of 1827, which was an unprecedented tragedy affecting so many that the story was depicted on crockery so that future generations would never forget the scale of the event. The irony is that now hardly anyone remembers the Great Chesterfield Potato Disaster.
