EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Quakers Yard Viaduct, also known as Goitre Coed Viaduct, in all its glory. Created by Penry Williams in 1840 using pen and wash on paper, this artwork measures 41x29 cm and is currently housed at the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in Telford, Shropshire, UK. The viaduct takes center stage in this piece, with its wooden centring prominently displayed. In the foreground, we see laborers diligently working on the Penydarren Tramroad with their pickaxes and wheelbarrows. To the left of them stands a steam engine, adding an industrial touch to the scene. The River Taff flows peacefully beneath the viaduct, providing a serene backdrop to this bustling railway setting. The location of this masterpiece is none other than Treharris in Wales. Williams' attention to detail shines through his intricate drawing technique. The colors used bring life to every element captured within this composition – from the vibrant greens of nature surrounding the viaduct to the earthy tones of construction materials. This artwork not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Britain's rich railway history during the 19th century. It beautifully portrays both man-made structures and natural landscapes coexisting harmoniously. As you gaze upon this print, let your imagination transport you back to an era when locomotives ruled these tracks and passenger trains were at their peak popularity. Experience a glimpse into history through Williams' remarkable work of art.
