The Art Gallery already possesses a drawing by William Booth
of this area of Bristol dated 1822 (see image below) but now there is an
opportunity to purchase a preparatory drawing by the same artist dated
1817, which is on a larger scale and gives greater detail of the area.
(An image of this is not yet available because it is rather dark and
will probably need some conservation work done on it). The Committee
has agreed to fund purchase of this earlier drawing at a cost of £2,000.

Click on this image to enlarge it. It is a large drawing and
more than fills the screen, but you can view big parts of it at a
time using the mouse (or your laptop pad) and side and bottom bars to
navigate around the picture. The detail is stunning.
