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.
