EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Electric Tramway at Northfleet" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century England. The image showcases a significant moment in history when public transportation was revolutionized by the advent of electric trams. The scene depicts a busy street in Northfleet, Kent, where an electric tram glides effortlessly along its tracks. Passengers can be seen eagerly boarding and alighting from the tram, while pedestrians observe this marvel with curiosity and awe. The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life; from the intricate architecture of surrounding buildings to the fashionable attire worn by individuals on the street. This print originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on April 6,1889, capturing a pivotal period when cities were transitioning from horse-drawn carriages to more efficient modes of transport. It serves as a visual reminder of how technological advancements have shaped our urban landscapes over time. Preserved within a private collection, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Its historical significance lies not only in documenting the introduction of electric trams but also in immortalizing everyday scenes that would otherwise fade away with time.
