EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a panel from an old oak chest in the Orphan Asylum, Hooks Mills, dating back to 1828. The intricate artwork depicts a scene of wood gathering during a winter month, beautifully rendered with pencil and watercolor on paper by Joseph Manning. The panel transports us to a time long gone, showcasing the daily life of the orphanage inhabitants as they gather wood for warmth and sustenance. The relief carving showcases individuals diligently chopping logs with axes, their bundled figures braving the cold weather in search of firewood. The medieval-inspired carving exudes a sense of timeless beauty and craftsmanship. It serves as both functional furniture and an artistic expression that tells the story of social history through its detailed depiction of domestic life. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we can almost feel the heat emanating from the hearth where these gathered logs will soon be transformed into comforting flames. This painting is not only a testament to human resilience but also serves as a poignant reminder of how essential warmth was in those harsh winter months. Preserved within Bristol Museum and Art Gallery's collection since its bequest by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908, this historical artifact continues to captivate viewers with its rich narrative and exquisite artistry.
