EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of early 19th-century railway transportation. The image showcases a passenger locomotive from the Strasbourg Railway, operating on the innovative Crampton system in 1852. An unknown artist skillfully captured this historical moment, which now resides in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. The locomotive stands proudly against a backdrop of industrial revolution-era architecture, symbolizing progress and innovation. Its towering presence exudes power and strength as it prepares to transport passengers across Alsace-Lorraine region. Coal-powered and meticulously crafted, this French engineering marvel represents a significant milestone in public transportation history. It played an instrumental role in connecting communities within Bas-Rhine (67) and Lorraine regions while revolutionizing travel for countless individuals. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings this timeless piece to life once again. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era where steam engines ruled the rails with their rhythmic chugging sounds and billowing plumes of smoke. As we admire this remarkable print today, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. This photograph serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while paying homage to those who paved the way for modern-day railways worldwide.
