T & J Mayer's "Non Pareil" transfer pattern features an elaborately dressed group of people who seem to be enjoying a pause by the water to view a distant suspension bridge and exotic city. We can not determine the location; both the architecture and plant life belong to the realm of make-believe. The border finishing this pattern features a seaweed ground sprinkled with flowers.

For those interested in background, there is actually no listing for T.& J. Mayer, Longport in our references. Thomas Mayer is listed working in Longport through 1838 while Thomas, John and Joseph Mayer are listed in partnership from 1843 to 1855 at a Burslem location. Petra Williams and Marguerite Weber in Staffordshire II, Romantic Transfer Patterns suggest the T.& J. Mayer Longport dates in their listing for the "Non Pareil" as a matter of deduction.
