Bryn Parkyn Signed Limited Edition Print Blackpill Bridge No. 0049.
A framed limited edition colour print on canvas board by Bryn Parkyn, printed in Great Britain by Plastic Advertising of Swansea. The artwork, titled Blackpill Bridge, depicts a nostalgic mid-20th-century scene at Blackpill in Swansea, featuring a red Mumbles Railway double-decker tram passing beneath a railway bridge. The tram is marked with the destination Swansea and the number 3. Atop the bridge, a steam locomotive pulls a train, with the tender and carriage bearing the LMS initials for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. The composition includes an autumnal landscape and a vintage-style yellow advertising board for Guinness which reads Guinness is Strength.
The work is signed in the lower-left corner B.V. Parkyn with the initials IN positioned below the name. Adhered to the brown paper backing on the verso is a rectangular paper Certificate of Authenticity. The certificate states that the painting was reproduced by Plastic Advertising of Swansea in a limited edition of fifteen hundred prints, identifying this specific example as No. 0049. The certificate bears a printed signature and a second signature in blue ink reading Br Parkyn. The print is housed in a decorative gilt-finished moulded wooden frame.
