EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful and historic napkin, presented to members of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) by Andrew Reid in commemoration of George Stephenson's Centenary on June 9, 1881, is a fascinating glimpse into the past. The intricately designed napkin, now held in the Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts several significant landmarks and milestones in the life of George Stephenson, considered a pioneer of the railway age. At the center of the design, we see the monument dedicated to Stephenson in Newcastle, a testament to his enduring legacy. Surrounding it, we find his birthplace at Wylam, a humble reminder of his humble beginnings. The iconic Rocket, which revolutionized the railway industry with its unprecedented speed, is also depicted, as is the High Level Bridge in Newcastle, a remarkable engineering feat of its time. Lastly, Stephenson's cottage near Killingworth is shown, offering a glimpse into his personal life. This exquisite napkin, created to honor the centenary of George Stephenson's birth, serves as a reminder of his invaluable contributions to the field of mechanical engineering and the railway industry. It is a beautiful and intriguing piece of history that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
