EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Automatic Train Stop, 1922" takes us back to the early 20th century when innovation in railway safety was at its peak. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their work beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era. The photograph showcases an exterior view of an automatic train stop system installed on a British railway track. This concept, introduced in the 1920s, revolutionized transportation by ensuring enhanced safety measures for trains. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate engineering behind this invention. Taken from "The Romance of Modern Railways" by T. W. Corbin and published by Seeley Service & Co. , Limited in London during that same year, this print is not only a visual delight but also serves as a historical artifact documenting advancements in technology during that time. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported outdoors to witness how precautionary measures were implemented to safeguard passengers and prevent accidents on railways. It reminds us of the vital role that transport plays in our lives and highlights the dedication put into making it safer for all. Thanks to The Print Collector's preservation efforts, we can still marvel at Thomas W. Corbin's literary contribution while appreciating this evocative snapshot from Britain's rich railway heritage.
