EDITORS COMMENTS
"This historic print depicts the initial plan for the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first underground railway, which began its journey opposite the Great Western Railway Hotel at Paddington in London, England. The railway line passes through several notable areas including Kings Cross and Farringdon, and in 1868, extensions were made from South Kensington to Westminster. The Metropolitan Railway, established in 1863, revolutionized urban transportation and paved the way for the development of modern underground systems. This detailed illustration, created in the 1860s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the planning and implementation of this groundbreaking transportation innovation. The Metropolitan Railway's first section, stretching from Paddington to Farringdon, opened in January 1863, and the extension to South Kensington was completed in December of the same year. The railway's importance to London's history is evident in its continued operation, now under the name Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines, making it a must-see attraction for both locals and tourists alike."
