EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Old Map of Bristol 1851" by John Tallis, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history. The map depicts Bristol during a transformative period, highlighting significant changes in its landscape and infrastructure. One notable feature is the altered course of the River Avon and the Floating Harbour, reflecting efforts to improve navigation and trade within the city. While exploring this vintage map, one can observe several fascinating illustrations that bring key landmarks to life. Clifton Down captures attention with its absence of the iconic suspension bridge we know today; instead, it is labeled as a proposed project that would later become an emblematic symbol of Bristol's identity when it opened in 1864. Other illustrations include scenic views from Rownham Ferry overlooking Clifton Down, the majestic south side of Bristol Cathedral, Clifton Observatory providing panoramic vistas over the cityscape, High Cross Green bustling with activity, Redcliff Church standing tall against time's passage, and a vibrant scene across Broad Quay showcasing Bristol's thriving commerce. As we delve into this historic treasure trove capturing Bristol's past glory through intricate details and meticulous cartography by John Tallis himself, we are transported back to an era where progress was shaping this remarkable city. This old town plan serves as a testament to both our fascination with history and our appreciation for how far Bristol has come since then.
