EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Level Crossing - 8" from the Boswell collection, transports us back in time to the late 1890s. The photograph showcases a quintessential scene of a level crossing, where a porter and a traveller are seen patiently waiting by the railway track. The porter, dressed in his distinctive uniform, holds a lantern in hand, ensuring the safety of those crossing the tracks. The traveller, with a suitcase in tow, looks intently towards the approaching train, a sense of anticipation etched on his face. The serene atmosphere of the scene is further accentuated by the lush greenery surrounding the area, with trees and shrubs forming a picturesque backdrop. The railway tracks, stretching out into the distance, symbolize the vast network of transportation that connected communities during this era. Interestingly, this photograph is part of the "Nursery Rhymes" series, although the connection between the title and the image is not immediately apparent. It is believed that the series may have been inspired by the popular children's rhymes of the time, with each image representing a different rhyme. The lantern held by the porter could be a nod to the rhyme "The Little Lighted Cottage," which tells the story of a lantern that guides travelers through the dark forest. Alternatively, the image could represent the rhyme "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe," with the traveller and porter playing the roles of the old woman and her children, respectively, waiting for their 'shoes' or trains to arrive. Regardless of the specific nursery rhyme connection, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the daily lives of people during the late 1800s and the importance of the railway system in connecting communities.
