EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Hotwell Road in Bristol, England. The image showcases the "Old Floating Dock" with its weathered wooden structure standing proudly amidst the flowing river. As we gaze towards Clifton and Goldney Rotunda, our eyes are drawn to the exquisite details captured by Thomas Leeson Rowbotham, a renowned artist of his time. The pencil and watercolor technique employed by Rowbotham adds a touch of nostalgia to this scene from 1827. It transports us to an era when life moved at a slower pace, where ships would dock along these historic waters. The tranquility of the surroundings is beautifully juxtaposed against the industrial nature of the dock. Bristol Museum and Art Gallery's collection proudly houses this remarkable piece as part of their cultural heritage. Generously bequeathed by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908, it serves as a testament to Bristol's rich history and artistic legacy. As we delve into this artwork, we can almost hear whispers from centuries past echoing through its brushstrokes. This painting not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on how far society has come since then. It reminds us that beneath layers of progress lie stories waiting patiently for curious minds like ours to unravel them.
