EDITORS COMMENTS
Step aboard the opulent Cote D'Azur Express, a marvel of Edwardian rail travel, as depicted in this stunning photograph from 1904. The Calais-Mediterranean Express, a service that ran three times a week in connection with the 11am train from Victoria, offered passengers an unparalleled journey of luxury and refinement. As you enter the dining car, your senses are immediately captivated by the rich, warm hues and sumptuous textures that envelop you. The interior, adorned with plush velvet upholstery, gleaming mahogany panels, and intricate metalwork, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The soft glow of the gaslights casts a warm, inviting light over the scene, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and relaxation. The table is set with fine china, crystal glassware, and gleaming silverware, ready to serve a delectable meal prepared by the skilled onboard chefs. The gentle hum of conversation and clinking of cutlery fills the air, punctuated by the rhythmic ticking of the train's wheels against the tracks. The Cote D'Azur Express was a testament to the golden age of rail travel, offering a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As the train made its way through the picturesque landscapes of France, towards the sun-soaked shores of the Mediterranean, passengers could sit back, relax, and indulge in the pleasures of the journey itself. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era of opulence and indulgence, a time when travel was an art form in and of itself.
