Titel George Stephenson, English railway engineer, c 1825-1835.
Caption Mezzotint by C Turner after a painting by H P Briggs of George Stephenson (1781-1848). A self-educated man, Stephenson commenced his working life as a cowherd, later working in coal pits. His mechanical mind was noticed by his employers & by 1812 he was an engine-wright earning 100 pounds a year. In 1813 he was commissioned to design a steam locomotive for the Killingworth wagonway. He was the engineer for the Stockton & Darlington Railway (opened 1825) and the Liverpool & Manchester Railway (opened 1829). He advised on the construction of the Belgian State Railway (opened 1835) and was involved with the construction of many of the English railways, hence his nickname 'the father of railways'., 6950877
