EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Currier & Ives, created around 1850, showcases the power and grandeur of the American railroad during its early years. Titled "RAILROAD: EXPRESS TRAIN" this print takes us on a visual journey back in time to witness the excitement and wonder of locomotive travel. The scene depicted is one of bustling activity as an express train charges forward with great force. The steam engine billows thick smoke into the air, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and adventure. Passengers can be seen peering out from the windows, eagerly taking in the sights along their mid-journey. The exterior details are meticulously captured by Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives, two prominent figures in American printmaking history. From every carriage to each wheel on the tracks, their attention to detail transports us directly into this momentous era. This lithograph not only celebrates transportation but also serves as a testament to progress and innovation during that time period. It reminds us of how railroads revolutionized travel across vast distances, connecting people like never before. As we admire this piece from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are reminded of America's rich history and its relentless pursuit for advancement. This lithograph captures both the beauty and significance of railroads in shaping our nation's growth while inviting us to imagine ourselves aboard that very express train – ready for whatever new horizons await us beyond each bend in those iron tracks.
