Created by the English School in the 19th century, this historical artwork is now part of a private collection. The image takes us back to June 4,1881, when The Graphic published this illustration as a tribute to George Stephenson and his remarkable contributions.

His impact on society is beautifully depicted through portraits of influential figures such as Robert Stephenson and Armstrong. Set against the backdrop of Grey Street and Bewick Street scenes in Newcastle upon Tyne, where George Stephenson was born, this engraving transports us to a time when innovation thrived amidst cobblestone streets. It serves as a visual reminder of how far we have come since those early days.
