EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative engraving, created by Smyth for the Illustrated London News in 1850, captures the opening of the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway at Braestones Station. Located on the Irish Sea coast in what is now Cumbria, England, the station was once part of the historic county of Cumberland. The print offers a glimpse into the rural and remote landscape of the region, with the railway line cutting through the lush countryside and winding its way towards the rugged coastline. The train, a testament to the Victorian era's industrial prowess, is shown making its way into the station, signaling the beginning of a new era of transportation and connectivity. The rustic charm of the station building, with its arched windows and intricate detailing, stands in stark contrast to the modern railway track and the steam engine. The print also highlights the region's rich geographical features, with the Irish Sea visible in the background and the undulating hills and valleys of the countryside stretching out in the distance. Overall, this image offers a fascinating insight into the past, transporting us back to a time when the railway was a symbol of progress and the promise of a better connected world.
