by Dobson, John (1787-1865); 46.8x26.8 cm; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; (add.info.: The Newcastle architect John Dobson designed revolutionary curved metal frames to hold the huge glass roof of Central Station. The iron was passed between bevelled rollers to achieve the curve. This was considerably cheaper than cutting the shapes from flat plates of iron. The technique was later used for Paddington Station, London. This watercolour view is by John Dobson himself, with figures by his friend John Wilson Carmichael. The station opened in 1850.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning interior of Central Station in Newcastle upon Tyne, designed by renowned architect John Dobson. The image depicts a grand space adorned with intricate columns and a magnificent curved glass roof, held together by Dobson's revolutionary metal frames. These frames were created using an innovative technique that involved passing iron between bevelled rollers to achieve the desired curve, proving to be more cost-effective than cutting shapes from flat plates. The watercolour view captured in this print is actually painted by John Dobson himself, while his friend John Wilson Carmichael added figures to bring life to the scene. It is fascinating to witness the collaboration between these two talented artists who sought to capture not only the architectural beauty but also the bustling atmosphere of this bustling railway station. Central Station opened its doors in 1850 and quickly became an iconic landmark in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. This image provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing how transportation hubs were meticulously designed during the 19th century. From passengers hurrying along with their luggage to architectural enthusiasts marveling at Dobson's ingenuity, this photograph encapsulates both functionality and artistic brilliance. Displayed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this remarkable piece offers viewers a chance to appreciate historical architecture and design while immersing themselves in a moment frozen in time.
