Artist, title, and imprint from engraved title panel on leading edge of the panorama.
The accordion-folded six handcolored aquatint strips, pasted together in one continious strip, depict a view of Bristol along the seafront from the Mason publishing house in Ship St. to the Anthaeum near Adelaide Terrrace. The scene is populated with carriages and people promenading or riding on horseback. Descriptive captions in lower margin.
"Published as the Act Directs 1833"--title panel.
"Drawn by H. Wilds, Architect, Brighton"--title panel.
"A. Edington, sculpt. 10 Portland St. London"--title panel.
Although this panorama was sometimes issued in a boxwood drum, this folded format appears to have been issued by the publisher.
