EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, capturing a momentous event in Newcastle's history - The George Stephenson Centenary. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported to a time when steam locomotion was revolutionizing transportation. The image showcases two iconic churches that stand as witnesses to this grand occasion. St Nicholas Church and St Andrews Church provide a majestic backdrop for the festivities taking place within their vicinity. The intricate details of these architectural marvels draw our attention, reminding us of the rich heritage embedded within Newcastle's cityscape. In the foreground, an animated crowd gathers around a black gate, eagerly participating in the celebrations. Men in top hats and women adorned in elegant attire fill the scene with excitement and anticipation. Their presence reflects not only their admiration for George Stephenson but also their appreciation for his groundbreaking contributions to railway engineering. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic on June 4th, 1881 - an illustration that immortalizes this significant milestone. It serves as a testament to both Stephenson's genius and his lasting impact on society. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it remind us of how innovation can shape our world forever.
