BRISTOL
Footnotes
WITH FOUR SALT PRINT VIEWS, POSSIBLY BY CALVERT JONES. George Pryce (1799–1868) was city librarian in Bristol, and the present albums contain the original artworks for his Popular History of Bristol which was published in 1861. The images are mainly architectural, both detailed and general views. The salt prints are not credited, but the Reverend Calvert Richard Jones is known to have photographed several of the same subjects from different perspectives. The four images comprise: gateway to St. Augustin's Abbey, College Square (cf. V&A PH.49-1983, PH.37-1983; cf. Schaaf no. 4086); Tower of St. Stephen's & the Drawbridge (cf. V&A PH.44-1983; cf. Schaaf no. 4505); Tower of St. Stephen's from St. Augustines; Bristol General Hospital. Pryce's unpublished works relating to Bristol history are in the city's Central Library.
Saleroom notices
The photograph illustrated is by John Wheeley Gough Gutch (1808-1862), not Calvert Richard Jones; the others are also likely to be by Gutch. We are grateful to Trevor Coombs of Bristol Museum for this additional information.
