EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Making the Shoreham Railroad, c. 1840" transports viewers back to a significant moment in history. With its watercolor on paper technique, this artwork captures the essence of early 19th-century construction and transportation. The image showcases the building of the Shoreham to Brighton railway, with a magnificent railway viaduct stretching across the middle distance. In the foreground, hardworking navvies can be seen laboring diligently at the construction site. Their presence adds a sense of human endeavor and dedication to this rural landscape. Beyond the viaduct lies a breathtaking view of the English Channel, reminding us that this ambitious project aimed to connect towns and cities while bridging geographical barriers. The artist's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only their technical skill but also their ability to capture both natural beauty and industrial progress. This artwork is part of Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust's Elton Collection, which preserves historical works from various artists throughout time.
