Drawing, Gelt Bridge Looking Down the River, Newcastle
and Carlisle Railway, Hayton, Cumberland, by John Wilson
Carmichael, 1835.
An unfinished viaduct viaduct towers above a river which
fills the foreground and beside which a single fisherman
sits. A small stone building stands on the river's right
bank. To either side of composition rise wooded riverbanks;
a flock of birds rise overhead.
Carmichael executed 22 pencil drawings of the construction
of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at the suggestion of
the Rail Company.
