EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the iconic Bridge of Size, a humorous illustration for The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1837. The artwork, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, Great Britain. In this whimsical scene, various vessels including ships, boats, and even a tugboat can be seen passing beneath the bridge. The intricate details of each vessel highlight the bustling transportation system of that era. From freight ships to tanker ships and passenger transportation vehicles, this engraving gives us a glimpse into the means of transport during the late 19th century. The Bridge of Size itself is depicted as a pedestrian bridge made from wood and stone. Its suspension design adds to its charm and elegance. This British landmark stands tall amidst its surroundings while connecting people on both sides. With its clever humor and artistic flair, this engraving transports us back to a time when bridges were not only functional but also sources of inspiration for artists like Thomas Hood. It serves as a reminder that even everyday structures can become works of art when viewed through creative eyes. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind it and the historical significance it represents within British culture.
