Drawing, Wetheral Bridge Across the River Eden, Newcastle
and Carlisle Railway, Corby Bridge, Wetheral, Cumberland, by
John Wilson Carmichael, 1835.
Summertime; view of viaduct seen from the right hand bank of
the River Eden. A whitewashed house nestles amongst the
trees on the riverbank; a distant figure approaches along
its path. To right of foreground stands a gardener? his
lunch laid on the ground nearby, working with an implement
beside the water's edge. Swallows skim the surfce of the
water.
Carmichael executed 22 pencil drawings of the construction
of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at the suggestion of
the Rail Company.
