EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1826, offering a glimpse into the bustling activity of Hilhouses new Dock as seen from Mardyke in Clifton Wood. The artist, Thomas Leeson Rowbotham the Elder, skillfully captured this scene using pencil and watercolor on paper. The image showcases a vibrant riverbank teeming with boats and ships of various sizes. A tugboat can be seen gracefully navigating through the waters, epitomizing the transport industry that thrived during this era. The dockyard itself stands proudly in the background, a testament to Bristol's importance as a maritime hub. The composition exudes an air of liveliness and energy, with people going about their daily tasks along the riverside. It is evident that this painting encapsulates not only a snapshot of history but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. Preserved by Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this artwork was generously bequeathed by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908. Its presence within their collection allows viewers to appreciate both its artistic merits and historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when docks were at the heart of economic prosperity and trade flourished along England's Avon River.
