EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "London People, The Excursion Train: The Cheap Swell" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. Created by Charles Henry Bennett, this print captures a moment in time when railway travel was becoming increasingly popular. The scene depicts a small railway station filled with people eagerly awaiting their journey. Amongst the crowd, we see individuals from all walks of life - men in top hats and tails, women adorned in elegant dresses, and children excitedly clutching onto their parents' hands. This diverse group of Londoners showcases the vibrant energy that permeated through the city during this era. Bennett's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays the architecture of the station and its surroundings. The intricate lines etched into the engraving bring forth a sense of history and nostalgia. "The Cheap Swell" refers to an illustration featured in Charles Bennett's book "London People Sketched from Life". It offers a glimpse into how different social classes would come together on these excursion trains for leisurely trips outside of London. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported back in time to witness not only the evolution of transportation but also gain insight into daily life in Victorian England.
