EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to the Hex River Railway in Cape Colony, South Africa. The moonlight casts a mystical glow over the scene, illuminating a picturesque viaduct that stretches across the Hex River Valley. Nestled amidst this breathtaking landscape is a charming platelayer's cottage, where weary travelers can find respite and enjoy a little refreshment. The railway was an essential lifeline for both locals and visitors alike, providing them with a means of traversing through the rugged terrain of the Hex River Mountain pass. As we gaze at this print, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging of steam engines and envision passengers eagerly embarking on their journeys. In this idyllic setting, we catch glimpses of farmers tending to their fields and farm buildings dotting the countryside. The presence of a bustling farmhouse reminds us that life thrived even in these remote areas thanks to transportation made possible by railways like this one. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, it serves as a reminder of how railways have shaped our world by connecting people and places throughout history. It invites us to imagine ourselves as partakers in these historic travels - experiencing not only the beauty of nature but also witnessing firsthand how progress unfolded along these tracks.
