Engine Hexham Notes


17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hexham from the Rail Road, 1835" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by John Wilson Carmichael during the construction of the Newcastle to Carlisle Railway, this pencil sketch offers a glimpse into the bustling town of Hexham in the early 19th century. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously captures various elements of this evolving transportation system. In his notes on the right side of the drawing, Carmichael describes an intriguing sequence: "engine first. Then some low wagons full of casks Boxes Lead Hay &c &c &c. Then comes the passengers with the True Briton coaches". These words transport us back in time, allowing our imagination to wander through a scene filled with anticipation and activity. As we study this artwork, we can't help but appreciate its historical significance. The opening stages of this railway line marked a new era for Hexham and its surrounding areas, connecting them like never before. This print serves as a visual testament to progress and innovation during that period. Displayed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this piece is part of Carmichael's series depicting scenes from the construction process. It stands as both an artistic achievement and an important document chronicling an essential chapter in transportation history.
