EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the bustling scene of Bristol Floating Harbour in the 19th century. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent "Great Western" ship, proudly standing on the stocks. Its grandeur and intricate details are meticulously portrayed by the skilled English School artist. The Great Western's presence symbolizes Bristol's rich maritime history and its significant role as a major port during this era. As one gazes at this print, they can almost hear the sounds of sailors working diligently to construct this impressive vessel. The surrounding harbor is teeming with activity, showcasing a vibrant snapshot of daily life in Bristol at that time. Boats gracefully glide across calm waters while dockworkers tirelessly load and unload cargo onto waiting vessels. The architecture along the waterfront provides a glimpse into Bristol's architectural heritage, with charming buildings lining both sides of the harbor. This enchanting engraving was originally featured in "Bristol Past and Present" a publication by J F Nicholls and John Taylor in 1882. It serves as an invaluable historical document that allows us to step back in time and witness firsthand how Bristol thrived as a hub for trade and industry. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it reminds us of our connection to our past and invites us to appreciate how far we have come since those bustling days on Bristol Floating Harbour.
