EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bath in 1846. The wash drawing, created by John Cooke Bourne, showcases St. James's Bridge over the serene River Avon. In this scene, we can see the bustling Bath Station on the right side of the image, with a disc and crossbar railway signal in the middle distance. A railway water tower also stands to the right of the bridge. The artwork beautifully portrays both architectural elements and natural surroundings. The riverbank is depicted with meticulous detail, while hills provide a picturesque backdrop to this historic cityscape. Transportation plays a prominent role in this piece as well. Boats gently glide along the river, representing means of conveyance during that era. The presence of a station building further emphasizes how railways were transforming travel at that time. Bourne's skillful use of color adds depth to this monochromatic drawing, making it truly come alive despite its simplicity. This work exemplifies his talent as an artist and provides viewers with a glimpse into life in 19th-century Bath. Displayed at Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in Telford, Shropshire, UK, this print from Fine Art Finder is part of their esteemed Elton Collection. It serves as an invaluable historical document capturing not only architecture but also Britain's evolving transportation system during that period.
