The Sunday Train, 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph created by Cesare-Auguste Detti. This enchanting print takes us back to the bustling railway station of the late 19th century in Paris, France. The scene depicts a steam engine pulling into the station, surrounded by an eager crowd of passengers awaiting their journey. The platform is filled with excitement and anticipation as people from all walks of life gather together for their Sunday outing. The carriages are packed with travelers, both on the lower and upper decks, creating a sense of liveliness and camaraderie among them. Amidst this vibrant atmosphere, we notice a young newspaper boy energetically selling his papers to those waiting for their train. His presence adds an authentic touch to the scene, reminding us of the hustle and bustle that accompanied public transportation during that era. Detti's attention to detail brings every element in this artwork to life – from the billowing smoke coming out of the locomotive's chimney to the intricate architecture of the station building itself. Through his skilful use of colour and composition, he transports us back in time, allowing us to experience firsthand what it was like travelling by train over a century ago. "The Sunday Train" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document capturing an important moment in transportation history. It reminds us how railways revolutionized travel and brought people closer together while showcasing Detti's talent for immortalizing scenes from everyday life with precision and charm.
