EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1852, showcasing a passenger locomotive and coal wagon of the Strasbourg Railway. The Crampton system, an innovative design for its time, is proudly displayed in this image captured by an unknown artist from the 19th century. The locomotive stands tall with its powerful presence, ready to transport passengers on their journey through Alsace. Its intricate details highlight the craftsmanship that went into creating such a magnificent mode of transportation. Coupled behind it is a coal wagon, symbolizing the vital role of fuel in keeping these trains running smoothly. Located at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history. It reminds us of the advancements made in public transport during this era and how railroads played a significant role in connecting regions and facilitating trade. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills have beautifully captured this historical artifact. With his lens focused on every detail, he brings life to this engraving-like scene from long ago. As we admire this remarkable piece of French engineering preserved within these frames, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also acknowledge its contribution to revolutionizing transportation systems worldwide.
