EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring journey of the Imperial Limited Express as it traverses the majestic Rocky Mountains, symbolizing the remarkable expansion of railways from coast to coast. The vibrant colors and intricate details in this 20th-century lithograph by English School bring to life a pivotal moment in transportation history. From its departure on the Atlantic shores to its final destination on the Pacific coast, this iconic train represents more than just a mode of travel; it embodies progress, ambition, and unity. As steam billows from its powerful locomotive, one can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that accompanied each crossing. The Canadian Pacific Railway's ambitious project connected North America like never before, allowing Canadians and travelers alike to witness firsthand the breathtaking beauty of these rugged mountains. This image is an illustration for Ernest Protheroe's Railways of the World (George Routledge, c 1914), serving as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's grandeur. In an era defined by speed and innovation, this photograph serves as a reminder of an age when railroads were at their zenith. It transports us back in time when trains represented not only efficient transport but also symbols of national pride. From east to west across Canada's vast landscape, this print encapsulates a defining chapter in our collective history - one that forever changed how we perceive distance and explore new horizons.
