About This Book

A sketchbook collects a sequence of pen-and-ink and wash drawings portraying the city's architecture, streets, and riverside. Individual plates depict churches, hospital and cathedral cloisters, market stalls, dockside activity, notable towers and bridges, and panoramic views from hills and downs. Arranged as a visual tour, the images emphasize architectural detail, street life, and the relationship between built structures and the Avon, with concise captions that orient the viewer to each location.
