Drawing, Works at the Intended New Bridge Across the River Caldew, Carlisle, Cumberland, by John Wilson Carmichael, 1835.
Busy scene of construction workers building a substantial bridge; to right of composition a group of masons hammer at stone blocks. In centre foreground a single figure sits on a large block of stone and surveys the scene, his back to the viewer. The city of Carlisle lies in the background.
Carmichael executed 22 pencil drawings of the construction of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at the suggestion of the Rail Company.
