EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the majestic presence of Lord Anson on October 10th, 1931. The Southern Railway's Lord Nelson Class 4-6-0 locomotive, numbered as 851 and named after the distinguished Admiral George Anson, stands proudly at the forefront of this image. With its sleek design and powerful stance, it epitomizes the technological marvels of interwar railways. Charles E Brown skillfully captures every intricate detail of this magnificent steam engine. From its meticulously crafted exterior to its billowing smokestacks that seem to dance with grace against the backdrop of an azure sky - every element is brought to life through his lens. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into an era where railway travel was not just a means of transportation but also a symbol of progress and grandeur. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for those who remember or long for simpler times when locomotives like Lord Anson ruled the tracks. Preserved within the Royal Air Force Museum's collection, this print serves as a testament to our rich industrial heritage and reminds us how far we have come since then. It invites us to appreciate both the engineering prowess behind such machines and their enduring beauty that continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
