EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1879 takes us back in time to the era of Victorian England, where leisurely travel was a privilege enjoyed by the upper class. The image showcases a bustling scene inside a railroad car on the Great Northern Railway. In this particular carriage, we are presented with two distinct spaces: a smoking saloon and a kitchen. The saloon is filled with men indulging in their cigars, creating an atmosphere thick with smoke and camaraderie. They gather around tables adorned with elegant tablecloths, engaging in lively conversations while savoring their leisurely journey. Adjacent to the saloon lies the kitchen, where culinary delights are being prepared for these discerning travelers. A cook tends to a large stove, ensuring that delicious meals are served promptly. The aroma of freshly cooked food fills the air as passengers eagerly await their turn to be served. The engraving beautifully captures both the opulence and functionality of this unique space within the railway car. It provides us with a glimpse into an era when train travel was not merely about reaching one's destination but also about experiencing luxury and comfort along the way. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, let our imaginations wander back to an age when railroads were at the forefront of transportation innovation and offered unforgettable journeys through picturesque landscapes across England's countryside.
