EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Great Wheel, Broseley Shropshire" in all its glory. Created by Paul Sandby Munn in 1803, this watercolor on paper painting measures 22x33 cm and is currently housed at the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in Telford, Shropshire, UK. The artwork depicts a picturesque scene of Benthall Waterwheel with a horse-gin in the background. A horse can be seen pulling a small wagon while a corn mill water wheel stands tall in the middle distance. The setting is Benthall Bank, situated on the south side of the iconic Iron Bridge. The focal point of this composition is undoubtedly the impressive 60-foot diameter waterwheel that was constructed during the late eighteenth century. It remained intact until its dismantlement for scrap in the 1930s. This historical artifact serves as a testament to both engineering prowess and industrial progress. Paul Sandby Munn's meticulous attention to detail brings this landscape to life with vibrant colors and expertly executed brushstrokes. The image captures not only an important piece of British history but also evokes a sense of tranquility amidst bustling industry. With its rich hues and masterful rendering, this artwork transports viewers back to early nineteenth-century England. It serves as a reminder of our past achievements and inspires us to appreciate both natural beauty and human ingenuity.
