EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Near Stokes Croft with a view of Bristol skyline" takes us back to the year 1826, capturing a moment in time when the city's urban landscape was vastly different. The artist, Thomas Leeson Rowbotham, skillfully combines pencil and watercolor on paper to bring this scene to life. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the site where Sadler and Clayfield embarked on their historic balloon ascent in 1810. This event marked an important milestone in aviation history and adds an air of excitement to the overall composition. The regency-era town surrounding it exudes charm and elegance, showcasing Georgian architecture that characterizes Bristol during this period. As we gaze upon this painting, our eyes are drawn towards the majestic Bristol skyline that serves as a backdrop. It showcases a bustling cityscape filled with buildings and structures that have stood the test of time. Each stroke of Rowbotham's brush captures not only architectural details but also hints at the vibrant energy pulsating through these streets. This remarkable piece was generously bequeathed by William Jerdone Braikenridge to the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, where it now resides as part of their esteemed collection. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty for generations to come.
