EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Victorian holidays - boarding the train" takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the travel experiences of children during that era. The image depicts a bustling train station in London, where families are seen preparing to embark on their holiday adventures abroad. Authored by Thomas Crane and Ellen E Houghton, this particular print is part of a travel book for children in Victorian times called "Abroad". Thomas Crane, who served as the Art Director for Marcus Ward & Co. , collaborated with his cousin Houghton to create this enchanting piece. Their combined artistic talents beautifully capture the essence of Victorian family vacations. The scene showcases excited children eagerly awaiting their journey while parents attend to luggage and make final preparations. Steam trains stand ready to transport these eager travelers across the Channel towards new destinations. This image not only provides insight into social history but also highlights how literature played an essential role in shaping young minds during this period. As we admire this historical photograph, it serves as a reminder of simpler times when summer vacations were eagerly anticipated by both young and old alike. It encapsulates both nostalgia and curiosity about past generations' experiences while igniting our own wanderlust for adventure and exploration.
