EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph showcases the magnificent Willington Dean Viaduct, a true testament to engineering prowess and architectural grandeur. Created in 1838 by Thomas Miles Richardson, this print offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the beauty and intricacy of this iconic structure. Stretching across the landscape with an impressive length of 1050 feet, Willington Dean Viaduct stands tall as a symbol of progress and innovation. Its towering stone piers and abutments provide a solid foundation for the three timber-framed arches that span an astonishing 120 feet each. The viaduct reaches a height of 82 feet along its railway track, offering breathtaking views to those who traverse it. Etched beneath the image are the names "JOHN AND BENJAMIN GREEN, ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS" signifying their remarkable contribution to this marvel of Victorian engineering. Published by T. McLean in London and F. Loraine in Newcastle upon Tyne, this lithograph captures not only the physicality but also the historical significance of Willington Dean Viaduct. With its opening on June 18th, 1839, alongside the inauguration of the Newcastle and North Shields Railway, Willington Dene Viaduct became an integral part of transportation infrastructure in England. Today, preserved by Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in Telford, Shropshire UK. , this artwork serves as a reminder of our rich industrial heritage. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's Elton Collection without commercial intent or mention thereof let us appreciate how human ingenuity can shape landscapes while leaving behind enduring symbols that stand as testaments to our collective progress.
