EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rare artifact from the mid-19th century - a directors pass of the Scotland, Glasgow and South Western Railway. Crafted with exquisite detail, this pass is made of gold and enamel, reflecting the opulence associated with railway directors during that era. The intricate design features various symbols that hold significant meaning. The prominent trident symbolizes power and authority, while other enigmatic emblems hint at numismatics and Scottish heritage. On the obverse side, we find an intriguing caduceus intertwined with these symbols, possibly alluding to protection or safe passage. This historical relic offers a glimpse into the world of railway governance in 1850s Scotland. As railways expanded across the country during this period, their directors played a crucial role in shaping transportation networks and driving economic growth. This pass would have granted its owner exclusive access to board meetings, decision-making processes, and even special events related to the railway company. Beyond its functional purpose as a director's identification card, this pass also holds hidden stories within its elegant craftsmanship. It serves as a reminder of an attempted invasion on Scottish soil by foreign powers during that time period – an event which undoubtedly influenced both politics and commerce in Scotland. Preserved within the Timothy Millett Collection today, this remarkable piece invites us to delve into history through artistry and symbolism while celebrating Scotland's rich industrial past.
