Description: | The scene shows the remains of the medieval Tyne Bridge after a catastrophic flood in the early morning of 17 November 1771. Many of the shops and houses that were on the bridge were destroyed, and some of their inhabitants were swept away and drowned. This engraving was made by the London engraver James Fittler from a painting by the Newcastle artist Ralph Waters, Senior. The engraving was published in 1772 by Henry Chapman, and was later included in John Brand's 'History and Antiquities of Newcastle', 1789. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East transport events buildings and views designers North East artists Newcastle | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
