Railway 200

Created to celebrate 200 years since the birth of the passenger railway, this artwork captures the moment the world changed forever with the first passenger journey on the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 1825.

Commissioned as part of the anniversary celebrations, Lucy Pittaway brings the story to life in her signature style. The historic Skerne Bridge, crowds gathering to witness history being made, and the famous steam engine, Locomotion No.1, all take centre stage, surrounded by rolling countryside and splashes of colour.

Inspired by the original 1825 scene painted by John Dobbin, Lucy adds her own twist, with playful touches – including a few familiar sheep – and a vibrant palette that reflects the sense of excitement and pride felt on that day.

This image is available as a Fine Art Paper print or a Canvas print, each created with the highest-quality materials.

The Fine Art Paper option is printed on archival-quality 315gsm paper using industry-standard lightfast inks. Each print is personally signed by Lucy and is available in several sizes.

Alternatively, the Canvas option is printed using Canon Lucia Pro inks on 360gsm 100% cotton canvas and finished with Permajet satin varnish, ensuring a beautifully vibrant and durable piece.
