The Train is Just Coming In Now
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting illustration by the talented British artist, Terry Parker, dating back to 1938. This piece transports us back in time to the 1930s, where a little porter eagerly announces the arrival of the train at the station. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation, as boys and girls, dressed in their Sunday best, gather around, their eyes wide with wonder. In the foreground, a toy train track curves gracefully, leading to a miniature locomotive with puffs of steam billowing from its chimney. The train's arrival is further emphasized by the clock on the platform, which reads "10 minutes to 3," adding a touch of urgency to the scene. The illustration is brimming with whimsy and magic, as fairy-like creatures such as Sylvia Venus, the goddess of love, and a mischievous elf, make their way to the platform. A rabbit and hedgehog, perhaps representing the children's beloved pets, scamper along the edge of the platform, adding to the lively atmosphere. A storybook-like quality permeates the illustration, as if we've stepped into the pages of a children's book. The porter, with his friendly smile and red cap, stands ready to help the children pay for their tickets and board the train, while the booking office in the background hums with activity. This charming illustration, with its delightful blend of reality and fantasy, is a testament to the magic and wonder of travel, both real and imagined. It's a snapshot of a simpler time, where the arrival of a train could spark the imagination and transport us to new and exciting places.
