Drawing, Harraby Cut, Carlisle in the Distance, Looking
West, Newcastle and Carisle Railway, Cumberland, by John
Wilson Carmichael, 1835.
Summertime; in centre foreground two men, one sitting whilst
the other stands, pause at the top of a steep railway
cutting; several figures below walk along the tracks which
have been laid. To left of composition lies wooded
countryside; to right lies a distant view of Carlisle.
Carmichael executed 22 pencil drawings of the construction
of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at the suggestion of
the Rail Company.
