EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate House Badges or Firemarks of the Bristol Crown and Bristol Union Fire Offices, dating back to 1825. Created by Joseph Manning, this artwork beautifully combines pencil and watercolor on paper, offering a glimpse into the rich history of heraldry. The composition features various elements such as firemarks, fasces, union symbols, coats of arms, and crowns. These badges were not only official emblems but also served as a testament to the unity and strength of these fire offices in protecting the city of Bristol during that era. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of each badge. The faggots or bundles of twigs symbolize strength through unity while the crown represents authority and protection. The inclusion of guild symbols further emphasizes their role in safeguarding trade interests within Bristol. Painted during the Regency period, this artwork reflects both English heritage and artistic skill. It serves as a reminder that beyond their practical purpose as markers for insured properties, these house badges hold historical significance. Preserved at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK since its bequest by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate British history through heraldic artistry.
