EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles Robinson's captivating cover illustration for Clare Jerrold's children's book "Rad, Rail and Sea" transports us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and the thrill of exploration. The scene is set on a wide, serene river, where the gentle dance of waves meets the solidity of the shore. A young, adventurous couple, their faces filled with excitement and wonder, navigate the open road below an imposing railway bridge. Their vintage automobile, with its muffler gleaming in the sun, roars along the asphalt, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. Above them, the railway bridge looms large, its bulky structure a testament to the engineering marvels of the past. The bridge's massive pillars and intricate latticework support the weight of the steel beams, while the train, a steam locomotive, chugs along the tracks, its smokestack billowing plumes of steam into the sky. The gentle clatter of the train's wheels against the rails adds to the symphony of transportation. On the river, a sailing boat catches the wind, its sails billowing in the breeze. The boat's mast casts a long, graceful shadow on the water, as the sun sets behind the bridge, bathing the scene in a warm, golden glow. The couple's headlamps and the railway bridge's lanterns cast pools of light on the water, creating a magical, otherworldly atmosphere. This stunning illustration by Charles Robinson captures the essence of a bygone era, where the simple joys of road, rail, and sea transported people to new adventures and experiences. The illustration invites us to embark on our own journey of discovery, as we marvel at the beauty and wonder of transportation history.
