EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century engraving, we witness a momentous event in the history of the Malay Peninsula - the inauguration of its first railway. The image showcases Sir Frederick A. Weld, K. C. M. G. , Governor of the Straits Settlements, as he ceremoniously cuts the first sod of the Salangore Railway in 1883. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation and progress. Sir Frederick Weld stands tall and distinguished, exuding authority and confidence. His presence symbolizes not only his personal involvement but also represents the colonial power that brought modern transportation to this part of Southeast Asia. The illustrative technique employed in this engraved image transports us back to a bygone era - Victorian times when such engravings were highly valued for their ability to capture historical moments with intricate detail. The retro style adds an extra layer of nostalgia and charm to this historic art piece. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days when railways were novel inventions transforming landscapes and connecting distant places. This artwork serves as a visual testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress throughout history
