EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intriguing "Head of Nomus from Fish Market, near Corn Street" by Joseph Manning. The photograph showcases a remarkable sculpture, skillfully carved with intricate details that bring this grotesque creature to life. Located in Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, UK, this unique artwork is part of the bequest left by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908. The head is believed to have originated from a fish market situated near Corn Street, adding an element of historical significance to its already mesmerizing presence. The nomus's mischievous grin seems almost contagious as it stares back at us through the lens. Its exaggerated features and whimsical expression evoke a sense of curiosity and wonderment. This gargoyle-like figure stands as a testament to the artist's creativity and imagination. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing every meticulously crafted detail on the paper surface. As we gaze upon this enigmatic head, we can't help but marvel at Manning's ability to capture both realism and fantasy within his work. Through this photograph, Bridgeman Images invites us into a world where art meets wildlife; where sculptures come alive with their own stories waiting to be discovered. It serves as a reminder that even in stillness, art has the power to ignite our imagination and transport us beyond time and space
