Description: | This sketch was made on the spot, and is carefully dated with the month - November - as well as the year. It shows the rope-making frames of the rope walk on the Gateshead bank of the River Tyne. The strands of the rope were tied to the end frame, and then twisted together and pulled taut as the makers walked down the line of frames. The frames could be used to secure the taut rope during the making process. The careful detail suggests that the artist intended to make a painting of the view. John Wilson Carmichael was a leading Newcastle artist. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work artists living in the North East watercolours transport art North East artists made in the North East Gateshead Newcastle industry people | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
