EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "St Augustines Reach, Greens Dock formerly Tombs Dock, 1826" takes us back to the bustling shipbuilding era of the 19th century. The pencil and watercolor on paper artwork, created by an anonymous British School artist, is housed in the prestigious Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. The image transports us to a time when St Augustine's Reach was a hub of activity, with ships being constructed and repaired at Greens Dock (formerly known as Tombs Dock). The meticulous detailing captures the essence of this maritime industry - from towering masts to intricate rigging systems. It offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship involved in building these majestic vessels. The painting showcases not only the physical structures but also evokes a sense of history and nostalgia. One can almost imagine hearing the sounds of hammers striking against wood and smelling fresh paint mingling with salty sea air. This piece serves as a testament to Bristol's rich maritime heritage. Acquired through William Jerdone Braikenridge's bequest in 1908, this artwork stands as a cherished part of Bristol Museums' collection. Its presence reminds us of our connection to our seafaring past and invites contemplation about how far we have come since those days. As we gaze upon this remarkable depiction, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand an important chapter in shipbuilding history that continues to captivate audiences today.
