Grand Junction Canal, Braunston, Northamptonshire, 1819. Artist: John Hassell
Grand Junction Canal, Braunston, Northamptonshire, 1819. Head of the Grand Junction Canal with the small reservoir at Braunston. The Grand Junction Canal was part of the network linking London with the Midlands manufacturing towns, and with Liverpool. The canal was built between 1793 and 1805, with William Jessop as its chief engineer, and James Barnes as resident engineer responsible for most of the day to day construction. It was originally planned to build the canal from Braunston to the Thames at Brentford, but in 1794 it was decided to build a branch to Paddington, which was much closer to central London. From Tour of the Grand Junction by J Hassell, 1819

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the Grand Junction Canal in Braunston, Northamptonshire, in 1819. Painted by renowned artist John Hassell, it showcases a picturesque scene of rural life and water transport during the 19th century. The Grand Junction Canal played a vital role in connecting London with the manufacturing towns of the Midlands and Liverpool. Constructed between 1793 and 1805 under the guidance of chief engineer William Jessop and resident engineer James Barnes, this canal was initially intended to reach Brentford on the Thames. However, a decision was made in 1794 to build a branch leading to Paddington instead, which brought it closer to central London. In this artwork, we see a boat gracefully gliding through calm waters beneath an arched bridge. The vibrant colors bring out the tranquility of this countryside location while highlighting its rustic charm. The small reservoir at Braunston adds an element of serenity to the overall composition. This print not only serves as a visual representation of transportation history but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. It reminds us of Britain's rich heritage and its reliance on canals for freight movement during that era. With its meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of color, this aquatint print by John Hassell is truly a testament to his artistic prowess. It immortalizes an important chapter in British history while capturing the essence of rural life along one of England's most significant canals.
