EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Menapia, an Irish Trader, St Stephens Church in the Background" transports us back in time to a bustling cityscape. The vibrant colors of this lithograph by Laura Annie Happerfield bring to life the historical significance of Bristol's rich trading history. In the foreground, we see the Menapia, a magnificent Irish trader ship that once sailed these waters with pride. Its sails billow gracefully against a backdrop of St Stephens Church, creating a striking contrast between man-made structures and nature's beauty. This juxtaposition reminds us of the harmonious coexistence between human endeavors and spiritual devotion. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate architectural features of St Stephens Church to the meticulous rendering of each wave crashing against the hulls. Through her artistry, Happerfield captures not only a moment frozen in time but also conveys a sense of movement and vitality. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for Bath and Bristol, a book written by Stanley Hutton in 1915. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of Bristol's maritime heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to an era when trade routes connected distant lands and cities thrived on commerce. It serves as a reminder that history is not just confined within textbooks but can be experienced through visual storytelling like this stunning artwork.
