EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Newcastle from Westgate Hill" takes us back to the bustling city of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1830. The print, skillfully engraved by Edward Finden and based on a work by William Westall, offers a glimpse into the architectural marvels and vibrant street scenes that defined this era. From our vantage point atop Westgate Hill, we are treated to an expansive view of the city's skyline. Majestic churches punctuate the horizon, their spires reaching towards the heavens as symbols of faith and community. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into constructing these magnificent structures. As our eyes wander down from the skyward-reaching steeples, we encounter a thriving town below. Streets teem with activity as people go about their daily lives during the height of the industrial revolution. This scene serves as a testament to Newcastle's role as a center for innovation and progress during this transformative period in history. The composition expertly captures both grandeur and intimacy simultaneously - showcasing not only monumental architecture but also capturing everyday life unfolding on its streets. It is through such historical prints that we can transport ourselves back in time and gain insight into how cities like Newcastle shaped society then and continue to do so today.
