EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Subsidance of Toll House, on Prince Street Bridge, 1828" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. Created by the talented artist Thomas Leeson Rowbotham, this pencil and watercolor masterpiece captures the essence of a pivotal event that occurred on the Prince Street Bridge in Bristol, England. Intriguingly, the artwork showcases a toll house situated precariously on the riverbank as it succumbs to subsidence. The toll house's gradual sinking into the ground is depicted with remarkable detail and precision. This scene serves as a poignant reminder of nature's relentless power and its ability to reshape our surroundings. Rowbotham skillfully portrays not only the physical transformation but also evokes an emotional response from viewers. As we gaze upon this painting, we cannot help but ponder how such an incident affected those who relied on this bridge for their daily commute or trade. This historic piece now resides within Bristol Museum and Art Gallery thanks to William Jerdone Braikenridge's generous bequest in 1908. Its presence offers visitors an opportunity to connect with Bristol's rich heritage while admiring Rowbotham's exceptional talent for capturing both beauty and drama within his art. Through this photo print, we are transported back to 1828 when life was vastly different yet remarkably similar. It reminds us that even structures built by human hands are subject to nature's whimsical ways—a humbling realization indeed.
