Description: | This night-time view of Fawcett Street in Sunderland is dominated by Mackie's department store on the corner. The lighted windows of the store show the extent of the building. This large and popular store was completed in 1850, and was designed by GA Middlemiss. Department stores selling a wide range of goods were fairly new inventions at this time. The street is lit by gas lights, and the horse-drawn hansom cab has oil-fired lamps. Daniel Whitely Marshall was a Sunderland chemist, who painted views and portraits in his spare time. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work artists oil paintings living in the North East transport art emergency services Sunderland shopping men women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
