EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1868, capturing a moment in time at The Reno station on the Central Pacific Railway. Engraved after the drawing of O. de Penne, this image beautifully illustrates the journey from Washington to San Francisco as depicted by L. Simonin in his publication "Le tour du monde" in 1874. The scene is bustling with activity as people and horses fill the frame. Passengers eagerly await their tickets for Virginia City, Nevada, while others go about their daily tasks amidst the grandeur of this architectural gem. The intricate details of the building showcase its importance as a hub for travel during that era. The horses stand patiently nearby, ready to transport travelers through vast landscapes and untamed territories. This engraving offers a glimpse into American history when railroads were instrumental in connecting distant regions and shaping the growth of our nation. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece captures not only an iconic moment but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress. It reminds us of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for modern transportation systems. As we admire this stunning print by Leonard de Selva, let it serve as a reminder that every journey begins with one small step - or perhaps even one ticket - towards new horizons and adventures yet to be discovered.
