Bath, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Bath, 1850. View of the city of Bath in Somerset One of the most prominent of these points of attraction [along the Great Western railway line] is the handsome city of Bath, long noted for the beauty of its buildings, which consist almost entirely of stone, and present a finer appearance than any other city in England. It lies in a valley divided by the river Avon, which has been made navigable as far as Bristol...Its public buildings and large hotels provide splendid accommodation; the Assembly Rooms are among the finest in the kingdom; and the theatre, one of the best of its size, is a sort of school for the metropolitan stage. Our Artist has shown the city at the most picturesque point; with its crescents and churches, and the soft-flowing Avon, and the distant Somerset hills'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century photograph print depicts the picturesque city of Bath, Somerset, as it appeared in 1850. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, showcases the city's unique charm and architectural beauty. Bath, renowned for its stunning stone buildings, is nestled in a valley by the River Avon, which was made navigable up to Bristol at the time. The city's public buildings and grand hotels provided luxurious accommodations, making it a popular destination for tourists. The Assembly Rooms, one of the finest in the kingdom, and the theatre, a leading venue of its size, were among the city's many attractions. Our anonymous artist has captured Bath at its most picturesque angle, with its iconic crescents, churches, and the gentle flow of the Avon. In the distance, the rolling hills of Somerset add to the idyllic scene. The image is filled with a sense of tranquility, as sheep graze in the countryside, and the river estuary meets the mouth of the Avon. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Bath, a city that continues to captivate visitors with its rich history and natural beauty.
