EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Express Train" takes us back to the early twentieth century, a time when steam engines and railways were at the forefront of transportation. Created by Thomas William Holmes, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of speed and movement. The image showcases a small railway in a bustling city or town setting. The vibrant colours bring life to the scene, highlighting the historical significance of this mode of transport. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to an era where progress was measured by how quickly one could travel from one place to another. "The Wonders of Speed" by Ellison Hawks inspired Holmes' creation, making it even more intriguing. This illustration serves as a visual representation of the book's exploration into rapidity and its impact on society during that time. Through this print, we can imagine ourselves as travellers embarking on an exciting journey aboard this magnificent steam engine. It reminds us that means of transport have always played a crucial role in shaping our world and connecting people across vast distances. Bridgeman Images has once again preserved history through art with their collection featuring "The Express Train".
