Isometrical Plan of Mr. Grainger's Proposed Concentration of the Termini of the Several Railways from London, Edinburgh, Carlisly, Shields and Sunderland, at a General Depot at Elswick.
Engraved by W. Collard.
T. Sopwith, C.E. [n.d. c.1840.]
A very rare and scarce engraving. Sheet 406 x 247mm. 16 x 9¾". Laid on separate sheet.
It was in 1839 that Mr. Richard Granger (1797-1861) the builder from Newcastle upon Tyne, known for taking on the task of building and developing Grainger Town, decided to buy the Elswick estate to the west of Newcastle with the intention of building a railway terminus. These plans never went ahead, as Grainger bankrupted himself in purchasing the land, and following his death, his debts were greater than his personal estate, so the sale of the land in the Elswick estate helped pay off these debts. Thomas Sopwith (1803-1879), also from Newcastle, was a miner and railway surveyor, writing his best-known book "Treatise on Isometrical Drawing".

A booklet for the South Eastern Railway's excursions discounts and holiday plans, with a map of Europe inside showing the train routes available. The South Eastern Railway was established in 1836 and stayed in business until 1922. It was initially formed to construct a route from London to Dover, and then later opening lines to Tunbridge Wells, Hastings, Canterbury and other places in Kent. In 1844 the SER organised the first of seven rail and ferry excursions from London to Boulogne; and in 1854 the SER took over the South Eastern & Continental Steam Packet Company. In1866 when the SER was under the chairmanship of Sir Edward Watkin, who was also chairman of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway and the Metropolitan Railways, as well as being a director of the Chemin de Fer du Nord in France; he saw the SER as one link from the industrial north of England to the Continent and thus proposed the idea of the Channel Tunnel. The plans were ultimately blocked by the War Office.

Ponte di Ferro della Pio-Latina presso Velletri.
[Etched by Cleter Gregorio.]
[n.d., c.1865.]
Aquatint. 235 x 280mm (9¼ x 11"), with large margins. Crease in bottom right corner.
A view of an iron railway viaduct at Velletri, near Rome, with a locomotive crossing. It was published in 'Le Scienze e le Arti sotto il pontificato di Pio IX' by Paolo Cacchiatelli and Gregorio Cleter, a record of the artistic, architectural, urban planning and scientific enterprises promoted by Pope Pius IX. This viaduct was needed to connect Rome and Velletri by rail. Originally it was planned as a monumental stone bridge, but an English company offered a cast iron bridge that they had built for a client but which had been rejected; it was shipped out and erected, allowing the Pope to open the railway in 1866.
