EDITORS COMMENTS
When the Railway Comes Over Dovre Mountain: A Caricature of the Norwegian Railways' Daunting Journey Amidst the rugged and picturesque landscapes of Norway, the arrival of the railway system brought about a significant transformation. This caricature by renowned Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen, titled 'When the Railway Comes Over Dovre Mountain,' vividly portrays the awe-inspiring journey of the train as it navigates the treacherous terrain of the Dovre Mountain. The image showcases the train, with its smokestacks billowing out clouds of steam and soot, as it precariously clings to the edge of the mountain, suspended between the rocky cliffs and the abyss below. The train's passengers, bundled up against the cold, gaze out in wonder at the breathtaking vistas unfolding before them. The railway's progression over the mountain is not without its challenges. The steep inclines and unforgiving terrain are illustrated by the laborers, who can be seen toiling away at the track, shovels in hand, as they work to secure the railway's path. The train's engine, with its determined expression, symbolizes the relentless force of human ingenuity and perseverance. This caricature serves as a testament to the triumph of human innovation and the awe-inspiring power of nature. The railway's arrival brought new opportunities for transportation and connection, but it also demanded a profound respect for the natural world and the challenges it presented. As the train winds its way through the mountain, it embodies the spirit of adventure and the indomitable human will to overcome the seemingly impossible.
