Item 34: "Goodrich" 36 on drawing; "Road Bridge at Goodrich" on mounting. This is Not a print but an original artwork; No professionally verified authorship. A lovely original pen and ink drawing on Endsor and Newton Bristol Board signed with the single letter "K," dated 36 for 1936. This is one from a large collection of topographical views mainly from the lake district and all dated between 1936 and 1940; most of these are of bridges and churches. These may be for a book or for publication. Please note this is an original pen and ink drawing and NOT a print. I have tried to research the artist (definitely a professional artist) - so far my best attribution is to Walter Monckton Keesey A.R.E. 1887 -1970 who published several sketchbooks of his topographical work and pen and ink drawings for postcard publication, and sometimes signed his work with a single "K."
The Dry Arch Goodrich, Ross-on-Wye, England. The Dry Arch is a so called as it is a bridge that does not cross water; it cross above a road. Such bridges, now common place, used to be relatively rare hence why this one is well renowned. The Dry Arch is believed to have been built at the same time as Kerne Bridge, in 1828, and the new road which crosses it. The "new road" runs from Kerne Bridge, past Flanesford Priory and on past Goodrich towards Symonds Yat and finally ends at Whitchurch. It should be noted that the village of Kerne Bridge was originally known as 'the Quern' but was later renamed after the bridge.
Dimensions: loosely mounted on 12" x 10" inches sheets, and actual drawing portion is approximately 6.6" x 5.45" inches.
All measurements are approximate.
