EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph by Joseph Holland Tringham takes us back to a fateful day in Glasgow's history. The image captures the aftermath of a devastating railway accident that occurred on 30th August, transporting us to the chaotic scene at Charing Cross Station. The engraving portrays the gravity and intensity of this tragic event with remarkable detail. Amidst scattered debris and billowing smoke, we witness stationmaster Stevenson valiantly coordinating rescue efforts. His resolute expression reflects his determination to restore order amidst chaos. The artist skillfully depicts the harrowing emotions etched across the faces of bystanders as they survey the wreckage. Their expressions range from shock and disbelief to concern for their fellow passengers caught up in this calamity. Holland Tringham's work not only documents this significant moment but also serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers inherent in early railway travel. It invites contemplation about progress and its costs, urging viewers to reflect upon safety measures implemented since then. This lithograph originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on 6th September 1902, offering readers a glimpse into one of Scotland's most catastrophic accidents. Preserved within private collections today, it stands as both historical record and testament to Holland Tringham's artistic prowess.
