The first edition first state of E. Killwick Calver's survey of the entrance to the River Tyne featuring in great detail the city of Newcastle. The city is depicted before any bridges had been built but the Stanhope and Tyne Railway is depicted. The Newcastle and Tynemouth Railway is also illustrated. The Jarrow Slake in the south west is shown before the Tyne Dock's were built. On the north side of the Tyne the Northumberland Dock is similarly lacking.
