EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the replica of the locomotive Mataro. Created to commemorate the centennial anniversary of its inaugural journey, this antique masterpiece was manufactured in the renowned workshops of La Maquinista Terrestre y Maritima. Dating back to the 19th century, precisely in 1848, this horizontal image captures an iconic moment in Barcelona's rich heritage. The original train made history by embarking on its first trip from Barcelona to Mataro, forever changing transportation in Catalonia. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph transports us back in time as we marvel at the intricate details of this magnificent steam-powered locomotive. Its sturdy frame and wheels speak volumes about Spain's industrial prowess during that era. The photographer behind this extraordinary shot is Santiago Ortega, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized not only a mode of transport but also an emblematic symbol representing progress and innovation. As we gaze upon this historical gem, it serves as a reminder that trains were once at the forefront of modernity and played an integral role in shaping societies worldwide. This image invites us to reflect on how far we have come while paying homage to those who paved the way for our present-day transportation systems.
