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.
