Frightened Locomotive Pedestrians Rearing Steam Engine Steam Train West Coast

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of San Francisco, California in 1876. The image captures a moment filled with drama and daily life as we witness a steam train passing through the cityscape. The powerful locomotive emits plumes of steam, symbolizing progress and innovation during this era. In the foreground, two horses are caught rearing up in fear at the sight and sound of the approaching train. Their frightened expressions add an element of tension to the scene, contrasting with the calm demeanor of pedestrians who watch from a safe distance. The composition beautifully showcases both human activity and architectural details that define this American west coast city. From elegant Victorian buildings lining the street to curious onlookers observing this technological marvel, every element tells a story about life in late 19th-century San Francisco. This historic engraving is part of "American Pictures" published by The Religious Tract Society. It offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in American history when cities were rapidly transforming due to industrialization and urban development. Thanks to Fine Art Finder's collection, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece from English School's oeuvre which has been preserved for generations to come.
