EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cannon Street Station, c. 1900" and captured by Marcus in 1945, offers a glimpse into the bustling scene of a London railway station. The image is filled with vibrant activity and showcases various elements that define the era. In the foreground, we see a child sitting on a trunk, patiently waiting to be moved alongside a porter's trolley. This tender moment adds an endearing touch to the otherwise busy atmosphere. Meanwhile, in the background stands a WHSmith bookstall, offering literary delights to travelers passing through. The photograph transports us back in time to an England characterized by its thriving transport and trade industry. It captures the essence of Victorian-era society with its crowded interior and market stalls scattered throughout the station. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its ability to evoke nostalgia for simpler times when train stations were vibrant hubs of activity. It serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over time while highlighting Cannon Street Station's enduring presence as an integral part of British rail history. This remarkable print is part of Arthur Elton's book "British Railways" published by Collins in 1945. Its vivid colors and attention to detail make it an invaluable piece for anyone interested in social history or simply captivated by early 20th-century Britain.
