EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the luxurious interior of a saloon car on the Orient Express, circa 1895. The wood engraving, skillfully colorised, brings to life the opulence and grandeur that characterized this iconic train journey. Stepping into this elegant space feels like entering a bygone era of sophistication and refinement. Plush carpets line the floor, inviting passengers to sink their feet into its softness as they embark on their travels. The room is adorned with intricate details and lavish furnishings, showcasing the attention given to every aspect of design. Within this intimate setting, we find two individuals engaged in conversation. Their relaxed postures suggest a momentary respite from the hustle and bustle of travel. Perhaps they are discussing their adventures or simply enjoying each other's company amidst the rhythmic motion of the train. The print captures not only a physical space but also evokes an atmosphere of exclusivity and privilege associated with upper-class society during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how social class played a significant role in shaping one's experience even within modes of transportation. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back in time - experiencing both awe at its beauty and curiosity about those who once inhabited these sumptuous surroundings. This print offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating an era when luxury travel was truly an art form.
