EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Bernard Alfieri, we are transported back to the bustling era of 1930s railway travel. The image captures the awe-inspiring view from the driver's seat of Southern Railways' King Arthur Class locomotive, Sir Percivale, as it gracefully departs Waterloo station in November 1938. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are immediately drawn into a world where steam engines reigned supreme and journeys were filled with anticipation and wonder. The footplate offers a unique perspective, allowing us to witness firsthand the power and elegance of this magnificent machine. Thick plumes of steam billow outwards, creating an ethereal atmosphere that envelops both train and platform. The scene is alive with activity - passengers eagerly awaiting departure on one side while railway staff meticulously attend to their duties on the other. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also an entire era defined by its reliance on rail transport. Alfieri's masterful composition effortlessly transports us back to an age when trains were more than just modes of transportation; they represented progress, adventure, and connection between people and places. Through this evocative photograph, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging of wheels against tracks and feel the excitement pulsating through every fiber of our being. This Memory Lane Print serves as a nostalgic reminder that even amidst technological advancements today, there will always be something magical about retracing history's footsteps along these iron rails.
