EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View from Prince Street Bridge, showing the paddle steamer Severn and the Cambridge, 1826" takes us back in time to witness a picturesque scene on the river. The artist, Thomas Leeson Rowbotham, skillfully captures the essence of early 19th-century England with his pencil and watercolor technique. As we gaze upon this artwork, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent paddle steamer Severn gracefully gliding through the calm waters of Bristol's Avon River. Its grandeur is matched by its companion, the Cambridge tugboat that dutifully follows behind. These vessels symbolize an era when steam-powered transportation was revolutionizing travel and trade across Britain. The Prince Street Bridge serves as a vantage point for us to appreciate this bustling maritime activity. From here, we can observe other boats dotting the river's surface while people go about their daily lives along its banks. It is a snapshot frozen in time that transports us back to an age where rivers were lifelines connecting cities and communities. This remarkable painting is part of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery's collection thanks to William Jerdone Braikenridge's generous bequest in 1908. Now preserved for all to admire, it reminds us of our rich cultural heritage and offers a glimpse into an important chapter in British history.
