EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1868 takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Farringdon Road in London. The image captures a moment frozen in history, showcasing the birth of modern transportation as we know it today. In this snapshot, our eyes are drawn to the Metropolitan Railway, an iconic symbol of progress during the Victorian era. Steam-powered trains chug along the tracks, their engines billowing smoke into the air. The architectural marvels of bridges and tunnels stand tall against a backdrop of grand Victorian buildings. The scene is alive with activity - horse-drawn carriages navigate through traffic while pedestrians scurry about their daily routines. This print offers a glimpse into a world where cuttings were made to accommodate these new railway lines, forever changing the landscape of Farringdon Road. As we delve deeper into this historical masterpiece, we can't help but appreciate how far we've come since then. From this humble beginning emerged what would eventually become one of the most extensive underground transport networks in existence - London's famous Tube system. This enchanting engraving serves as a reminder that progress often comes at great cost and effort. It invites us to reflect on our own journey through time and appreciate how advancements in technology have shaped our lives today.
