EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating chromolitho print titled "Those who embrace too much miss the train" by French School, 19th century, captures a heartwarming scene at a bustling railway station. In this educational card from the late 19th or early 20th century, we witness a tender moment of affection and farewell. Amidst the backdrop of steam engines and carriages, a woman dressed in fashionable attire embraces her loved ones tightly. Her children cling to her side with expressions of adoration and reluctance to let go. The platform attendant looks on with amusement as passengers rush past, eager not to miss their departing train. This artwork beautifully illustrates the timeless theme that excessive attachment can cause us to miss out on life's opportunities. As trains symbolize journeys and new beginnings, it serves as a reminder that sometimes we must loosen our grip on what we hold dear in order to embark on exciting adventures ahead. The artist skillfully conveys emotions through subtle details - from the intricate costumes worn by characters to the expressions of tenderness exchanged between family members. The vibrant colors used in this chromolitho add depth and vibrancy to an already captivating composition. As viewers gaze upon this enchanting print, they are transported back in time - witnessing both the joys and challenges faced by travelers during an era defined by railways. It is through such artistic creations that history comes alive, allowing us glimpses into moments long gone but forever preserved within these cherished works of art.
