EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting by Abraham Solomon that beautifully captures the emotions and atmosphere of a railway departure in Great Britain during the mid-19th century. This exquisite oil on canvas artwork, currently housed in the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, showcases Solomon's mastery in depicting human sentiment and intricate details. In this scene, we witness a poignant moment as passengers bid farewell to their loved ones before embarking on their journey. The artist skillfully portrays the range of emotions present - from tearful goodbyes to hopeful smiles - creating an evocative narrative within the frame. Solomon's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous rendering of luggage and baggage strewn across the compartment coach. Each piece tells its own story; from worn leather trunks to delicate hand luggage resting atop coffer boxes.

The painting exudes elements of Romanticism with its emphasis on human emotion and connection amidst a rapidly changing industrial landscape. Through his brushstrokes, Solomon transports us back in time, allowing us to experience both the excitement and melancholy associated with train departures during this era. "Second Class. The Parting, 1854" is not just a mere depiction of historical events but also an invitation for viewers to reflect upon their own experiences of farewells and new beginnings. It stands as a testament to Solomon's artistic prowess and serves as an enduring
