The Euston Arch, designed by architect Philip Hardwick and constructed between 1837 and 1838, was a monumental gateway that served as the grand entrance to the original Euston Station in London. The arch was a significant example of Greek Revival architecture, a style that was popular in Britain during the early 19th century. It stood as a symbol of the burgeoning railway age and the industrial advancements of the period. The structure was composed of a propylaeum, a type of monumental gateway that was inspired by ancient Greek architecture, featuring a pair of Doric columns on each side and a large entablature.

John Cooke Bourne, an artist and engraver known for his detailed illustrations of railway scenes, captured the Euston Arch in his works. Bourne's illustrations are highly regarded for their precision and historical value, providing a visual record of the early days of railway construction and architecture. His depictions of the Euston Arch not only highlight the architectural grandeur of the structure but also serve as an important historical document, preserving the image of the arch for future generations.

The Euston Arch was controversially demolished in 1961 to make way for the redevelopment of Euston Station, a decision that sparked significant public outcry and is often cited as a catalyst for the modern architectural conservation movement in the United Kingdom. Efforts to reconstruct the arch have been ongoing, with various campaigns advocating for its restoration as a historical and cultural landmark.

Bourne's illustrations remain a crucial part of the historical record, offering insight into the architectural and industrial heritage of 19th-century Britain. His work continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and its contribution to the documentation of the early railway era.
