EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Gustave Dore takes us back in time to the interior of a third-class wagon in Spain. The intricate details captured by Dore's skilled hand transport us to a different era, allowing us to witness the realities of public transportation during his journey with C. Davillier in 1862. In this scene, we see a young girl sitting peacefully amidst her luggage and baskets filled with fruit. Her serene expression contrasts with the bustling atmosphere surrounding her. Other passengers can be seen scattered throughout the wagon, some engaged in conversation while others find solace in sleep. Dore's attention to detail is evident as he portrays not only the human aspect but also includes elements of botany and natural history within this composition. The presence of plants adds depth and richness to the image, reminding us that life continues even within these confined spaces. The engraving was originally featured in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton, providing readers with an immersive experience into Dore's travels through Spain. This particular print is part of Leonard de Selva's private collection, showcasing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the power art holds in capturing moments from our past and preserving them for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
