EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Liszt Collection takes us on a journey back to the late 19th century in Cape Colony, South Africa. The engraving showcases various scenes along the iconic Hex River Railway, offering a fascinating glimpse into history. From Platelayers Cottage, we witness the humble abode of those who tirelessly maintained and laid tracks for this remarkable railway system. Moving forward, we are enchanted by Tulbagh Pass illuminated by moonlight; its ethereal beauty captured forever in this vintage artwork. In another frame, we catch a cheeky moment as "The Stoker Has a Little Refreshment" reminding us that even amidst hard work there is room for small pleasures. Further along our visual voyage lies an idyllic farm nestled within the picturesque Hex River Valley - a testament to both nature's bounty and human resilience. As we continue our exploration of this enchanting railway line, we encounter "The Boer Way of Travelling on the Railway" showcasing unique modes of transportation used during that era. Platelayers on their trolly diligently carry out their duties while surrounded by awe-inspiring landscapes such as Hex River Mountain and viaducts that stand as engineering marvels. This 19th-century engraving not only captures historical moments but also serves as an illustrative technique reflecting Victorian arts and culture. Its retro-styled charm evokes nostalgia while preserving
