EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London, specifically Kings Cross. The scene depicts works on the Midland Railway, with a temporary bridge spanning over Old St Pancras Road. The image is filled with activity as steam locomotives puff out billows of smoke, pulling carriages along the tracks. Workmen can be seen diligently going about their tasks, ensuring that this vital transportation hub continues to function smoothly. Amidst all the industrial chaos, horses and carts traverse the road beneath the temporary bridge. These majestic animals add a touch of nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of a time when horsepower was just as important as steam power. The level of detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line and stroke captures not only the physical structures but also conveys a sense of movement and energy. It's like stepping into a snapshot frozen in time. As we gaze upon this historical print from The Illustrated London News dated March 16th, 1867, we are transported back to an era where progress was being made at an astonishing pace. This artwork serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an homage to those who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes to build our modern world.
