EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a significant moment in the history of transportation. The image showcases "The Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway" as it opens its tracks to Lewes. The intricate details of this print allow us to explore the various elements that made up this remarkable railway system. From Hodshrove Skew Bridge to Falmer Tunnel, Rose Hill Cutting to Preston Road, every aspect is meticulously depicted. The engineering marvels such as Brighton Viaduct stand tall against the backdrop of Sussex's picturesque landscapes. Bridges play a prominent role in connecting different parts of this railway network. Whether it be pedestrian bridges or magnificent stone structures spanning over rivers and valleys, they symbolize progress and unity. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, our imagination transports us back in time when steam locomotives chugged along these tracks with passengers eagerly awaiting their destinations. This engraving serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in conquering vast distances through tunnelling efforts. Beyond its technical achievements, however, lies an aesthetic charm that cannot be ignored – from the vibrant hustle and bustle at Brighton Beach to the quaintness of New Brighton village nearby. This print not only captures a pivotal moment for transportation but also invites us on a journey through time – reminding us how railways have shaped societies while leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
