EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print captures the essence of travel in the late 19th century. Titled "Poster 'Belgische Staatsseisenbahnen Nach London und England'", this advertisement from 1897 showcases the Belgian State Railways' boat train service to London. The image depicts a bustling scene at sea, with a sailing boat and paddle steamer ferrying passengers between Ostend and Dover. The artist, Henry Evenpoel, skillfully employs colour lithography to bring this scene to life. The poster features a diverse group of individuals, including sailors and passengers eagerly awaiting their journey across the English Channel. In the foreground, a sailor stands proudly with his clay pipe in hand, symbolizing both adventure and relaxation. With its attention-grabbing composition and vivid colours, this artwork serves as an effective promotional tool for the Ostend-Tilbury-London line. It invites viewers to embark on an exciting voyage through Europe's railway network while highlighting Belgium's contribution to international travel. Preserved in a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this historic poster offers us a glimpse into an era when rail travel was expanding rapidly across continents. As we admire this piece today, it reminds us of how transportation has evolved over time while also celebrating the timeless allure of exploration by sea and land.
