EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent St Mary Redcliffe Church and bustling Redcliffe Wharf, as seen from the iconic Prince Street Bridge. Created by Frederick Mackenzie in either 1822 or 1824, this pencil drawing captures the essence of Bristol's rich history. The image transports us back to a time when the city was thriving with maritime activity. The foreground is adorned with boats of various sizes, gracefully floating on the River Avon. A tugboat stands out among them, symbolizing the importance of transport and trade during that era. In stark contrast to the vibrant harbor scene, St Mary Redcliffe Church stands tall in all its grandeur. Its intricate architecture dominates the skyline, reminding viewers of its significance as both a religious landmark and an architectural marvel. Redcliffe Wharf stretches along the riverbank, reflecting urban life at its core. This bustling dock area served as a hub for commerce and industry during Bristol's heyday. The combination of church spires and industrial structures creates a unique juxtaposition that encapsulates Bristol's diverse character. Mackenzie's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life on paper. Preserved within Bristol Museum and Art Gallery since William Jerdone Braikenridge bequeathed it in 1908, this artwork continues to captivate audiences today through eBristol Museums' digital archives. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only an exquisite depiction of architecture but also glimpses into
