The image, titled "Train leaving Victoria for Dover," transports us to an era of historical significance when rail travel was a new and exciting means of transportation. The train, adorned with intricate ironwork and ornate detailing, is a testament to the engineering marvels of the late 19th century. The steam engine, puffing out plumes of smoke, adds to the sense of anticipation and excitement as the train prepares to embark on its journey to the picturesque coastal town of Dover. Passengers, dressed in their finest attire, can be seen boarding the train, some waving goodbye to loved ones on the platform. The station bustles with activity, with porters loading luggage onto the train and station staff ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
