Description: | This view across the Tyne shows the old Tyne Bridge, the Guildhall with its semi-circular arcade in the centre, the castle and St Nicholas' Cathedral. The Mayor's barge, in the centre on the far side of the river, was used on ceremonial occasions. The view emphasises the grandeur of the city and the prosperity of its shipping trade. Carmichael had spent three years as a sailor in his youth, and his shipping scenes were known for their accuracy. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: unknown | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | John Wilson Carmichael | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
