EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a preparatory sketch by Lt. Col. William Booth, showcasing the stunning view of Granby Hill in Clifton, Bristol. The intricate details of this artwork provide a glimpse into the architectural beauty and historical significance of the area. The composition focuses on Granby Place and Granby Hill, with six buildings to the left adorned with a plaque indicating "Granby Place 1791" on the third and fourth dwellings. As we follow the street to the left, it seamlessly transforms into Granby Hill, extending towards Providence Place (now known as Hope Chapel Hill). Windsor Villa partially obstructs our view where Granby Place transitions into Granby Hill. Intriguingly, this preparatory sketch was taken from inside The Paragon building according to an inscription on its front. From this vantage point near Nos 9 and 12 along the main curve of The Paragon building, Booth skillfully captured every detail before translating it onto paper. The background reveals breathtaking views of Cumberland Basin and Floating Harbour while Dundry Church's tower stands tall on the horizon to the right. Additionally, an unnamed part of Windsor Terrace can be seen in immediate foreground leading towards Windsor Place. This remarkable piece offers viewers a unique perspective that transports them back in time to experience Clifton's charm and elegance during Lt. Col. William Booth's era.
