EDITORS COMMENTS
In this line engraving from 1880, we are transported back in time to witness the hustle and bustle of Londoners eagerly awaiting their excursion train on a Bank Holiday. The scene is set on a late afternoon at the platform, where a diverse crowd has gathered with anticipation written across their faces. Men in Victorian attire can be seen conversing amongst themselves, discussing the upcoming adventure that awaits them. Women dressed in elegant dresses stand alongside them, clutching onto their children's hands tightly as they navigate through the bustling crowd. The working class is well represented here, showcasing the diversity of London society during this era. The poster advertising the excursion train hangs prominently in the background, enticing passersby with promises of an unforgettable journey. Its vibrant colors contrast beautifully against the engravings surrounding it. Transportation plays a significant role in this piece; it symbolizes freedom and escape from daily routines for these Londoners seeking respite from city life. As we gaze upon this historical print by The Granger Collection, we cannot help but imagine ourselves among those waiting anxiously for departure – eager to embark on an adventure filled with new experiences and cherished memories.
