Serving as the world's first underground passenger line, this iconic railway revolutionized transportation in London and set the stage for future developments worldwide. The lithograph, created by an unknown artist, beautifully depicts a bustling scene at Paddington Station during the Victorian era. The image showcases a steam locomotive chugging along the tracks, emitting clouds of smoke that blend with the vibrant colors of its surroundings.
