EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back in time to the Reading Station circa 1910. The image showcases the magnificent architecture of the station's 1860 building, complete with its iconic clock tower that stands tall and proud against a clear blue sky. The vibrant colors captured on this postcard bring life to an era long gone, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail of this historical landmark. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn towards the foreground where a statue of King Edward VII commands attention. His regal presence adds an air of grandeur and significance to the scene. Reading Station, once bustling with activity as trains arrived and departed, serves as a testament to progress and innovation during its heyday. This photograph not only captures a moment in history but also evokes nostalgia for an era defined by steam-powered locomotives and Victorian elegance. As we admire this remarkable piece from STEAM Museum of the GWR, it is impossible not to be transported back in time; imagining passengers eagerly awaiting their journeys or bidding farewell to loved ones amidst clouds of steam. This print encapsulates both architectural beauty and cultural significance, reminding us how railways have shaped societies across generations.
