EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print captures the importance of bells in warning of approaching trains at a railway crossing. Created by the European School in the 19th century, this artwork showcases a rural scene where safety and transport intersect. In this picturesque countryside setting, we see a steam locomotive chugging along on a railway line, accompanied by a passenger train. As they approach the crossing, danger looms, but thanks to the vigilant guard and his ringing bell, everyone is alerted to their presence. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this educational card to life. The artist skillfully portrays the significance of these bells as an essential safety measure for both passengers and pedestrians alike. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection, it reminds us of an era when railways were not only means of transportation but also symbols of progress and innovation. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in creating systems that ensure public safety. Whether displayed in classrooms or homes, this artwork serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements, simple yet effective measures like bells continue to play an indispensable role in safeguarding lives.
