EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the bustling city of Bristol in the early 19th century. The artist, Samuel Jackson, skillfully captures a panoramic view of the Floating Harbour with his pencil and watercolor on paper technique. As we gaze upon this artwork, our eyes are drawn to the vibrant river flowing through the heart of the city. The harbor is teeming with activity; boats gracefully glide along its waters while figures dotting the riverbank go about their daily routines. It is a snapshot frozen in time that reveals both urban life and natural beauty. The composition showcases an exquisite townscape adorned with charming buildings that reflect England's architectural heritage. From elegant Georgian townhouses to quaint cottages nestled by the waterfront, every structure tells a story of Bristol's rich history. The painting also highlights how integral rivers were to British cities during this period - serving as vital transportation routes for goods and people alike. The Floating Harbour itself stands as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. This remarkable piece was generously bequeathed to Bristol Museum and Art Gallery by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908, ensuring its preservation for future generations to admire and appreciate. In essence, "View across the Floating Harbour" offers us an enchanting glimpse into a bygone era - capturing not just a moment in time but also evoking feelings of nostalgia for Britain's maritime
