EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration, created by the skilled hand of Charles George Harper between 1892 and 1933, presents a breathtaking view of City Bridge, also known as Soke Bridge, in the historic city of Winchester, Hampshire. The bridge, with its elegant arches and intricate stonework, spans the River Itchen, connecting the northern and southern parts of the city. In the background, the picturesque City Mill stands proudly, its tall chimney reaching towards the clear blue sky. The mill, a testament to the city's rich industrial past, once played a vital role in the production of wool and grain. The tranquil water of the river flows gently beneath the bridge, reflecting the beauty of the scene and adding to the serene atmosphere. Harper's meticulous drawing technique brings the scene to life, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The attention to detail, from the individual stones of the bridge to the leaves on the trees, is truly remarkable. The artist's use of light and shadow creates depth and texture, making the image all the more captivating. City Bridge, with its rich history and picturesque setting, has long been a source of inspiration for artists and visitors alike. This exquisite illustration by Charles George Harper is a testament to the enduring charm of this historic landmark and the beauty of Winchester.
