EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s, a time when elegance and sophistication were paramount in travel. Displayed is a GWR luggage trolley, an exquisite piece of furniture that once graced the platforms of Great Western Railway stations. This image has been carefully extracted from a page within a GWR furniture catalogue, showcasing their diverse range of handcrafted items. The attention to detail on this trolley is truly remarkable. Its sleek design features smooth curves and sturdy wheels, perfectly suited for transporting heavy suitcases with ease. The craftsmanship evident in every inch speaks volumes about the pride taken by GWR in producing their own furniture collection. Imagine bustling railway platforms filled with well-dressed passengers eagerly awaiting their journeys, while porters skillfully maneuver these elegant trollies through the crowds. These timeless pieces not only served as practical tools but also added an air of refinement to any station they adorned. As we admire this photograph today at STEAM Museum of the GWR, it serves as a poignant reminder of an era long gone but not forgotten. It allows us to appreciate the artistry behind even everyday objects like platform trollies and invites us into a world where style met functionality seamlessly
