EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque Villefranche sur Mer station on the French Riviera, circa 1910. The image showcases a magnificent steam train, its billowing smoke adding an air of nostalgia and excitement to the scene. Nestled between the azure blue sea and lush coastal landscape, this historic station served as a vital hub for transportation during that era. The composition is beautifully captured in color, allowing us to appreciate the vibrant hues of both land and sea. The horizontal format perfectly frames the grandeur of this momentous locomotive against its stunning backdrop. This particular photograph belongs to a private collection and was expertly preserved by Santiago Ortega. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back to an era when trains were not just modes of transport but symbols of progress and adventure. The unknown photographer has skillfully immortalized this significant moment in time, capturing not only the beauty of Villefranche sur Mer but also providing us with a glimpse into early 20th-century railway travel. This remarkable print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology while simultaneously evoking feelings of awe for these majestic steam-powered machines that once ruled our railways. It is truly a treasure from our past that continues to inspire admiration today.
