Public Dinner to Robert Stephenson, Esq., M.P., at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, 1850. '...the friends and admirers of Mr. Robert Stephenson, the civil engineer, entertained him...as a mark of their high respect for his scientific eminence and unblemished character. The new railway station, in Neville-street, was judiciously chosen for this interesting celebration, where a portion of the immense area of the station was temporarily enclosed...Three beautiful cartoons, of gigantic dimensions, adorned one side of the dining-room, representing three of the great works planned and executed by Mr. Stephenson; namely, the High Level Bridge, Newcastle, the iron tubular bridge across the Menai, and the Berwick bridge. These paintings, though hastily executed for the occasion, reflect great credit on the respective artists, Mr. John Storey, jun.; Mr. John Gibson, assisted by Mr. R. S. Scott; and. Mr. Scott'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
