EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Bristol in 1826. The artwork, created by Thomas Leeson Rowbotham, offers a unique perspective from the Redcliffe Back Ferry, showcasing the vibrant activity on the floating harbour. As our eyes wander across the scene, we are greeted by an array of majestic ships gracefully gliding through the river.

The towering spires and architectural marvels that dot the skyline add a touch of grandeur to this picturesque view. They stand as proud symbols of England's industrial prowess during that era.

Rowbotham's meticulous pencil work combined with delicate watercolors brings every detail to life while capturing both movement and stillness simultaneously.
