EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to Russia in 1865, showcasing a relay station with a post house. The intricate details of the print bring to life the bustling activity that once took place within these walls. The image depicts a grand station building, standing proudly against the backdrop of a rural landscape. Horses can be seen tethered outside, waiting patiently for their next journey. This snapshot into history gives us insight into the means of transportation during this era - horse-drawn carriages and perhaps even early automobiles. The artist behind this remarkable design is Nicolas Gregorovitch Svertschkoff, whose talent shines through in every stroke of his engraving. The level of precision and attention to detail is truly awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness an important part of Russian culture and tradition. Relay stations played a crucial role in connecting people across vast distances, serving as vital hubs for travelers on their journeys. Through this artwork by Jaime Abecasis, we are reminded of how public transport has evolved over time while still retaining its essence as a means of conveyance for passengers. It serves as both a testament to our progress and a nod to our rich historical heritage. This print captures not only the beauty but also the significance that lies within Russia's past - an enduring reminder that traditions shape our present and future alike.
