EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1850 with this engraving of a smoking saloon and galley on a Great Northern Railway train. The intricate details of this piece transport you to an era when train travel was a luxurious and leisurely experience.
In the smoking saloon, gentlemen puff on cigars while engaging in lively conversation, surrounded by tobacco packets and boxes. The air is thick with smoke, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and slightly mysterious. Meanwhile, in the galley, passengers enjoy their meals as they watch the world pass by outside their windows.
This image captures not just a moment in history, but also a glimpse into the social customs and habits of the time. Smoking was not only common but almost expected among men of certain social classes, making the smoking saloon an important space for relaxation and camaraderie during long journeys.
As you study this engraving closely, you can almost hear the clatter of wheels on tracks and feel the gentle sway of the train as it speeds through picturesque countryside. It serves as a reminder that even mundane activities like commuting were once imbued with elegance and charm.
