EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of Granby Hill, Clifton, from the West" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the architectural beauty of Bristol. Captured by Lt. Col. William Booth in 1816, this detailed artwork showcases Granby Place and Granby Hill in all their glory. The composition highlights six buildings on the left side, with a plaque indicating Granby Place's establishment in 1791 on the third and fourth dwellings. As our eyes wander to the left, we witness how Granby Place seamlessly transitions into Granby Hill. This stretch comprises eight stunning buildings that lead towards Providence Place (now known as Hope Chapel Hill). Windsor Villa partially obscures where Granby Place transforms into Granby Hill while an unnamed part of the road (presently called Windsor Place) lies prominently in the immediate foreground. The background scenery is equally enchanting; it features Cumberland Basin and Floating Harbour. On the horizon to the right stands Dundry Church's tower, adding a touch of grandeur to this already picturesque landscape. According to an inscription on its preparatory sketch (Mb7409), this drawing was taken from inside The Paragon building. Judging by its angle, one can assume it was captured somewhere near Nos 9 and 12 within the main curve of the structure. This remarkable piece is housed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in UK—an invaluable treasure that transports viewers back through time to experience Bristol's architectural splendor firsthand.
