Bristol scene by Newman & Co., lithographers, views of the newly opened Clifton Suspension Bridge looking towards Bristol, circa 1864
Framed under glass with mount, hand coloured lithograph print published by Henry Pearce and Co, Clifton.
Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel this marvellous piece of engineering was eventually opened in 1864 after over thirty years in construction and some five years after Brunel's death. Famously described by Brunel as 'My first love, my darling' the bridge still stands today and is symbolic of the city and an iconic landmark which remains a world beating, piece of pioneering civil engineering 
Spanning the Avon Gorge and River Avon, Brunel’s creation links Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset, weighing 1,500 tonnes with a span of 702 feet it sits 245 feet above the water below at high tide.
The scene includes steam and sail vessels and rowing boats and early steam train in the background.
Some darkening to the paper, colours still good.
