EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Baker Street Station, 1863" takes us back in time to the birth of an iconic transportation system. Created by Samuel John Hodson in watercolor and bodycolour with pen and ink on paper, this artwork measures 43.3x60.5 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art. The image showcases the interior of Baker Street Station during its early days as part of the Metropolitan Line, which holds the distinction of being the world's first underground railway or subway. Opening its doors on January 10,1863, this groundbreaking mode of public transport revolutionized urban development in London. Intriguingly capturing a moment frozen in time, we see passengers waiting patiently on a platform adorned with traditional costumes from the era. The tunnel stretches into darkness behind them while trains rumble through tracks that symbolize Victorian engineering marvels. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into history but also celebrates human ingenuity and progress. It serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, cities were buzzing hubs filled with innovation and ambition. As we admire this remarkable piece from Hodson's collection at Paul Mellon Collection in America's Yale Center for British Art, we are transported to an era where Baker Street Station was just beginning its journey towards becoming one of London's most famous landmarks - forever etched into our collective memory.
