The story behind the Bristol Presentiments Series for the Other Art Fair Bristol

The Bristol Presentiment Series have been made using pigments recorded in the Bristol Presentiments 1770 papers, are those that were imported into Bristol by ship during that period.

These papers record the imports and ships in and out of port during the period, a significant one in the development in sea trade both in Bristol and in the transatlantic sea trade and slave trade triangle.  Only two years before the only traders able to import  were London based and belonged to the King. for more details see the Brsitol Presentiments Collection page on this site.
