EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Bristol's maritime history. The image showcases the stunning St Mary Redcliffe church, standing tall and majestic against the backdrop of a bustling cityscape. Taken from the Gibb slip before the formation of the Floating Harbour, this view offers a glimpse into an era when ships dominated the river. Intriguingly, amidst this picturesque scene, we witness workers engaged in breaming - meticulously preparing the bottom of a ship for its journey. Their presence adds depth and vitality to the composition, reminding us of the human effort behind these grand vessels. Painted by Thomas Leeson Rowbotham in 1826 using pencil and watercolor on paper, this artwork now resides within Bristol Museum and Art Gallery as part of their esteemed collection. It was generously bequeathed by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908. The painting not only celebrates Bristol's rich maritime heritage but also encapsulates England's industrial prowess during that period. From tugboats navigating through Avon River to various boats dotting its surface, every element tells a story about transportation and trade at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to an era where cityscapes were shaped by riverside industries and architectural marvels like St Mary Redcliffe stood as proud landmarks representing faith and community spirit.
