EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Quarter-boys of Christ Church, 1821" by James Johnson. The monochrome drawing depicts two figures responsible for striking the bells on the exterior of a Bristol church. With watercolor wash over pencil on paper, Johnson skillfully captures the intricate details of these sculptures. The Quarter-boys stand as silent sentinels, guarding and animating the architectural beauty of Christ Church. Their presence adds a touch of mystique to this religious edifice, evoking a sense of reverence and awe in all who behold them. These bellringers symbolize not only their practical function but also serve as guardians of tradition and timekeeping. As they strike each quarter hour with precision and grace, their chimes reverberate through Bristol's streets, marking the passage of time for generations past and present. Johnson's artwork offers us a glimpse into an era long gone yet preserved within these delicate lines. It is a testament to his artistic prowess that we can still appreciate his work today. This print is part of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery's collection, graciously bequeathed by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908. Its inclusion in eBristol Museums, Galleries & Archives ensures that this remarkable piece continues to inspire art enthusiasts worldwide. Let this image transport you back to 1821 when architecture met sculpture in perfect harmony at Christ Church in Bristol—a timeless reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations.
