EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The New Overland Route to India, the Railway Tunnel under Mont Cenis, South End, at Bardonneche" takes us back to the 19th century when technological advancements were reshaping travel and trade routes. The image showcases a remarkable feat of engineering - a railway tunnel that connects France with Italy through the majestic Mont Cenis mountain range. The intricate details in this print highlight the grandeur of this architectural marvel. The tunnel's entrance at Bardonneche is depicted with precision, capturing its imposing presence against the backdrop of breathtaking natural scenery. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to an era where progress and innovation were celebrated. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on February 6th, 1869. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to connect distant lands for economic and cultural exchange. The mention of India in the title reminds us of the significance this route held for colonial powers seeking access to their prized possessions in Asia.
