Drawing, Scotby Embankment, About Two and a Half Miles
from Carlisle, Looking East, Newcastle and Carlisle Railway,
Scotby, Cumberland, by John Wilson Carmichael, 1835.
Summertime; in centre foreground two figures, one sitting on
a block of masonry whilst the other stands, pause beside the
railway line at the edge of a steep railway embankment.
Scattered piles of masonry lie beside the tracks. Beyond
lies wooded countryside with distant hills.
Carmichael executed 22 pencil drawings of the construction
of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at the suggestion of
the Rail Company.
