EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Newcastle upon Tyne in the Reign of Queen Victoria" by John Storey offers a glimpse into the city's transformation during the Victorian era. The artwork, created with watercolor on paper mounted on card, measures an impressive 133.3 x 76.3 cm and is housed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. Storey's depiction of Newcastle in 1862 showcases significant changes that had taken place within the cityscape. The once prominent city walls have been demolished to accommodate its expanding boundaries, while steep denes have been filled to create new roads like Dean Street. Instead of clear blue skies, smoke from countless chimneys fills the air, illustrating the industrial nature of this northern English metropolis. The photograph highlights two iconic bridges that played crucial roles in Newcastle's development during this period. The old stone bridge stands proudly over the River Tyne after being rebuilt following a devastating flood in 1771. Adjacent to it is the High Level Bridge, constructed in 1849 as a vital railway link connecting Newcastle with southern regions and contributing to its rapid growth. This image captures not only Newcastles' architectural evolution but also reflects Britain's industrial prowess during Queen Victoria's reign. It serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence while offering viewers a fascinating window into nineteenth-century urban life.
