EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph captures a scene from the making of a film in the early 20th century. Titled "How films are made: Train in Station," the image shows passengers alighting from the 'Rome Express,' with a seemingly authentic railway carriage and station setting. However, behind the scenes, hidden from view, are huge floodlights and attendants awaiting instructions from the Film Director.
The illustration is part of a set of cigarette cards on the subject of How Films are Made, issued by B Morris in 1934. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the artifice and craftsmanship involved in creating movie magic during this era.
The attention to detail in recreating a train station for filming purposes is evident, showcasing both technical skill and creativity. The juxtaposition of reality and illusion within this image highlights the ingenuity required to bring cinematic visions to life on screen.
As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to a time when filmmaking was an intricate process that relied on meticulous planning and execution. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and expertise needed to craft unforgettable movie moments that continue to captivate audiences today.
