EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed lithograph captures a significant moment in the history of Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. Created by Thomas Oliver in 1854, it depicts a plan of the area that was devastated by fire on October 6th of that year. Measuring at 55.5x44.5 cm, this colorful print showcases the extent of the damage caused by the destructive blaze. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously maps out the affected properties, providing valuable insight into the architecture and layout of these historic towns during this period. The image features various types of buildings, including old structures that were tragically lost to flames. Bridges play a prominent role in this composition, with pedestrian bridges made from wood and stone capturing our attention alongside larger suspension bridges spanning across rivers. Through this artwork, we gain an understanding not only of the physical destruction caused by fire but also glimpse into industrial life during this era. The presence of factories and other industrial structures highlights Newcastle upon Tyne's significance as a hub for industry and commerce. Preserved within Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums collection, this lithograph serves as both an artistic representation and historical document depicting a pivotal event in local history. It stands as a testament to resilience and rebirth after tragedy struck these bustling cities over one hundred years ago.
