EDITORS COMMENTS
Travelling by Rail in South Africa (litho) captures the essence of an adventurous journey through the vast landscapes of 19th-century South Africa. This print, created by the English School, offers a glimpse into the early days of rail travel in this beautiful region. The image showcases a sharp curve on the Cape Government Railway, as a train rounds its way towards Johannesburg. The engraving skillfully depicts the power and majesty of these locomotives as they navigate challenging terrain. The travellers onboard are portrayed with excitement and anticipation, their faces filled with wonder at the breathtaking scenery passing them by. This artwork originally appeared in The Graphic on January 11,1896, providing readers with a visual representation of what it was like to embark on such an extraordinary rail journey. It serves as a reminder of how railways played a crucial role in connecting distant places and opening up new possibilities for exploration and trade. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we can't help but be transported back to that era when travelling by rail was not just about reaching your destination but also about immersing yourself in an unforgettable experience. Let this print serve as an inspiration to embrace our own journeys with curiosity and appreciation for the world around us.
