EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Coopers Hall, nestled in the heart of Bristol's historic King Street. Standing proudly against a backdrop of cobblestone streets and centuries-old architecture, this Georgian gem exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Designed by the renowned architect William Halfpenny and completed in 1743, Coopers Hall is a testament to Bristol's rich architectural heritage. Its intricate facade showcases exquisite details that have withstood the test of time, while its grandeur commands attention from all who pass by. In this perspective view captured by Eric de Mare between 1945 and 1980, we are treated to a glimpse of not only Coopers Hall but also the first two gables of St Nicholas Almshouse peeking through in the distance. This juxtaposition highlights both buildings' historical significance and their harmonious coexistence within Bristol's urban fabric. De Mare's expert composition allows us to appreciate every nuance of these architectural marvels – from the delicate carvings adorning Coopers Hall to the weathered bricks that tell tales of centuries gone by. The play between light and shadow adds depth and drama to this already mesmerizing scene. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we cannot help but be transported back in time – imagining bustling streets filled with horse-drawn carriages, merchants conducting business within these hallowed walls, and whispers echoing through narrow alleyways. It serves as a poignant reminder that history lives on through our built environment – connecting
