EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old and New, 1930" takes us back to a bygone era of British railways. The creator remains unknown, but their work beautifully captures the essence of this transitional period in transportation history. The image showcases a bustling railway station platform with an intriguing juxtaposition between old and new technology. In the foreground stands a magnificent steam locomotive, its powerful presence emanating from every inch of its polished exterior. This nineteenth-century marvel symbolizes the traditional mode of transport that had dominated for decades. In stark contrast, just behind the steam engine lies a sleek passenger train carriage representing modernity and progress in the early twentieth century. Its streamlined design hints at the rapid advancements taking place during this time. As we observe further into the background, we notice people going about their day on this busy platform. Their attire reflects both eras depicted in this photograph – some dressed in nineteenth-century fashion while others embrace more contemporary styles. This snapshot is taken from "The Wonder Book of Railways" edited by Harry Golding, which serves as an invaluable literary companion for railway enthusiasts seeking to explore Britain's rich rail heritage. With its monochrome charm and historical significance, this print transports us back to a time when steam engines ruled the tracks while hinting at an exciting future where innovation would shape our transportation systems forevermore.
