EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming chromolitho print titled "The Pleasures of Departure" we are transported back to the 19th century, where the excitement and humor of train travel come to life. The scene is set on a bustling platform, filled with passengers eagerly awaiting their journey. Amidst the steam locomotive's billowing smoke, we see a diverse group of travelers dressed in fashionable attire for their adventure. A jolly fat man in an elaborate costume catches our attention as he engages in a lively card game with fellow passengers. Laughter and camaraderie fill the air as they pass the time before boarding. A helpful porter assists a woman in pushing her luggage-laden cart towards one of the carriages. Her elegant dress suggests she is ready for an exciting voyage ahead. Meanwhile, other travelers chat animatedly or patiently wait for their turn to board. This educational card captures not only the fashion trends of its time but also showcases how railway journeys were seen as thrilling experiences worth celebrating. It reminds us that travel has always been about more than just reaching our destination; it is about embracing new adventures and forging connections with fellow explorers along the way. Through this delightful artwork by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the joyous anticipation that accompanies every departure – an eternal reminder that even amidst change and progress, some pleasures remain timeless.
