EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a sea-trip by rail, showcasing the new electric railway between Brighton and Rottingdean. Taken in the 19th century by an English photographer, this print is now part of a private collection. The image was originally featured as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on December 5,1896. The photo transports us back to a time when railways were revolutionizing travel along coastal regions. The electric railway depicted here offers a unique perspective on the picturesque Sussex coast, with its stunning shoreline and maritime charm. As we gaze at the image, we can almost feel the refreshing sea breeze against our faces. Brighton Beach takes center stage in this composition, inviting us to imagine leisurely strolls along its sandy shores or perhaps even taking a dip in its inviting waters. Rottingdean's coastal beauty also shines through as it becomes one of the destinations accessible via this innovative mode of transportation. The monochromatic tones lend an air of nostalgia to this scene from yesteryears. It serves as a reminder that progress has always been intertwined with preserving natural beauty and exploring new horizons. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind early photography and the transformative impact that railways had on connecting seaside communities during that era.
