EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the grandeur of the 1851 Great Exhibition held in London's Crystal Palace. Standing proudly on display is Folkstone, a remarkable express train designed by T. R. Crampton for the South Eastern Railway Company. The locomotive exudes power and elegance as it showcases the cutting-edge technology of its time. The image transports us to an era when steam trains ruled the railways, symbolizing progress and innovation. It serves as a testament to Britain's industrial prowess during the Victorian era, where engineering marvels like Folkstone were celebrated. The Crystal Palace provides a magnificent backdrop for this snapshot in history. Its vast glass structure allowed natural light to illuminate every detail of Folkstone's intricate design, highlighting its sleek lines and impressive craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost hear the hissing steam and feel the ground tremble beneath our feet as Folkstone roars into action. It reminds us of how transportation has evolved over time while honoring those who paved the way for modern rail systems. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an important chapter in England's rich railway heritage. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty of locomotives like Folkstone and their significant role in shaping our world today.
