EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable evolution of transportation over time. In this colourful lithograph, we are presented with a fascinating comparison between a train from 1837 and the special Anglo-American Boat Express in 1904. The image takes us on a journey through history, highlighting the progress made by the London and North Western Railway Company. The contrast between these two modes of transport is striking. The train from 1837, depicted on the left side of the print, exudes an air of simplicity and charm. Its vintage design reflects an era when steam-powered locomotives were still in their infancy. On the other hand, dominating the right side of the image is the magnificent Anglo-American Boat Express - a symbol of modernity and luxury in its time. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, it becomes evident that not only has technology advanced but also passenger comfort and class distinctions have evolved significantly. First-class passengers enjoy opulent surroundings while second-class travelers experience improved amenities compared to their counterparts from decades earlier. Through this thought-provoking artwork, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit for progress and innovation. It serves as a testament to our ability to adapt and improve upon existing systems to meet ever-changing needs. This print invites us to reflect upon how far we have come while appreciating our ancestors' contributions towards shaping our present-day world.
