EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1864, when the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge was first opened to the public. The image beautifully captures the essence of Bristol's rich maritime history, showcasing a panoramic view of Clifton and Bristol Harbour. In the foreground, we see the tranquil waters of River Avon gently flowing, adorned with a passenger pleasure steamer gracefully gliding through its surface. Small vessels dotting the river add an element of bustling activity to this serene scene. As our gaze moves towards the background, we are greeted by rows of charming houses nestled amidst lush greenery - unmistakably Clifton. But what truly steals our attention is undoubtedly Isambard Kingdom Brunel's architectural masterpiece: The newly opened Suspension Bridge majestically stands on the left side of this composition. The bridge itself is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering brilliance. Its elegant design harmoniously blends with its natural surroundings, creating an awe-inspiring sight that has stood strong for over a century and continues to be an emblematic symbol of Bristol. Jon Ball's skillful capture not only freezes a moment in time but also transports us back to an era where steamships ruled these waters and dreams were built upon bridges connecting communities. This print serves as both a historical artifact and a visual delight for all who appreciate beauty intertwined with history.
