From railway bridges to steam locomotives, these captivating artworks provide a glimpse into the ingenuity and craftsmanship of engineers during the 19th century. Marvel at the Railway Bridge over the River Tamar, circa 1860, depicted in an exquisite engraving on paper. Its elegant arches stand tall, connecting distant lands and symbolizing progress. The Great Western Railway Vulcan No. 2, captured through a cyanotype on paper from 1837, showcases early locomotive design with its robust frame and powerful presence. The Arch of Southampton Railway over Chelsea Road takes us back to 1835 when pen met wash on paper to immortalize this architectural feat. Imagine witnessing passengers crossing beneath this magnificent structure as they embarked on their journeys. Delve further into history with a pen-and-wash depiction of a Passenger Carriage from around 1840. This artwork brings to life the elegance and comfort experienced by travelers during this era. Steam locomotives take center stage in lithographs from the same period - their intricate details meticulously portrayed for all to admire. These machines revolutionized transportation, propelling humanity forward at unprecedented speeds while leaving trails of smoke behind them. A Wooden Bridge Designed for the Proposed Bridge over Tyne near Scotswood transports us even earlier into history; circa 1830's pen meets wash on paper capturing an ambitious vision yet to be realized but brimming with potential. Clayton Tunnel Railway Portal immerses us in another momentous project completed in 1847 - watercolors bring forth its grandeur as it stands proudly amidst lush greenery; a testament to human determination.
