EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the picturesque scene of Wetheral Bridge in 1836. Created by John Wilson Carmichael, a renowned artist from the 19th century, this artwork showcases his mastery of watercolor and ink on paper. The image depicts a train majestically crossing over the towering viaduct that spans across the river. Intriguing details come to life as we observe the surroundings. On the right side of the picture, a narrow channel carries fast-flowing water past an old mill wheel. This charming addition adds depth and character to the composition. It is fascinating to note that this artwork was one among many scenes published as prints during the construction of Newcastle to Carlisle Railway line between 1835 and 1839. The tranquility of nature is beautifully captured with lush trees lining both sides of the riverbank. A fisherman can be seen casting his line into the flowing waters, adding a touch of human activity amidst this serene setting. With its intricate details and Victorian charm, this painting transports us back in time to witness not only an engineering marvel but also glimpse into daily life during that era. Preserved at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, it serves as a testament to Carmichael's talent for capturing moments frozen in time through his artistic prowess.
