EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1905, capturing a significant moment in British history. The image showcases the majestic "Empress" the engine of the royal train, stationed at Portsmouth in anticipation of an esteemed visit from the Prince and Princess of Wales, who would later become King George V and Queen Mary. The photograph exudes a sense of grandeur as it portrays this powerful locomotive against a backdrop of towering ship masts adorned with flags. It symbolizes not only the technological marvels of its time but also represents the strong connection between rail and sea transport that played a crucial role in shaping Europe's industrial revolution. F. J. Mortimer's masterful composition emphasizes both strength and elegance through his choice to capture this scene in landscape format. The steam billowing from the train adds an element of dynamism, hinting at its imminent departure on yet another regal journey. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported to an era where royalty traveled by rail, leaving behind traces of their influence wherever they went. Filled with historical significance and artistic brilliance, Mortimer's photograph serves as a testament to England's rich heritage while reminding us how transportation has shaped our world throughout centuries past.
