EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Great Western Railway, Kelston Bridge near Bath" takes us back to the early 19th century when railway travel was still in its infancy. Created by William Weston Young and printed by Day & Haghe, this artwork is part of the Illustrations of the Great Western & Bristol & Exeter Railways series. The scene depicted showcases a bustling railway landscape with Kelston Bridge as its centerpiece. A magnificent broad gauge goods train, pulled by the impressive 2-2-2 tender steam locomotive Wharncliff, thunders past the bridge. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical moment captured on paper. As we explore further into the image's details, we notice farm animals grazing peacefully nearby. Sheep dotting the landscape add a touch of tranquility amidst all the movement and industrial progress represented by railways and bridges. Kelston Bridge itself stands as a testament to architectural prowess and engineering ingenuity of that era. Its sturdy structure serves not only as a passage for trains but also as an emblematic symbol of progress connecting communities. This print from Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust's Elton Collection allows us to glimpse into a time when horse-drawn carts shared space with steam-powered locomotives, showcasing how transportation evolved during this transformative period in history. It offers us a window into both technological advancements and rural landscapes that defined Britain in the 19th century.
