Description: | Handcoloured lithograph of the Old Bridge of Don, otherwise known as Balgownie's Brig
"The new Bridge of Don was constructed 1827-30 so this work must post-date that time. Robert M. Bryson is a little known landscape painter based in Glasgow and known to be working c.1850. The engraver may be the contemporary Edinburgh artist of that name who appears to have specialised in old buildings producing images of Edinburgh as both engravings and lithographs. As with ABDUA: 30427 the practice of fishing in the river Don is referred to. In contrast to the earlier image however the activity here is commercial. This image is close in point of view and date to the photograph ABDUA: 31608."
