EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the disassembling works carried out by Chinese workers during the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway in October 1897. The engraving, dating back to the late 19th century, showcases a significant moment in history when China and Russia collaborated on this monumental project. In vivid color, this horizontal image transports us back in time to witness the immense effort put forth by these dedicated workers. With their tools in hand and determination etched on their faces, they meticulously dismantle sections of rail tracks along the vast Siberian landscape. This private collection piece offers a rare glimpse into an era where manual labor played a crucial role in shaping global transportation systems. The Trans-Siberian Railway stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. Its construction not only connected distant regions but also fostered cultural exchange between Russia and China. Though unknown individually, these hardworking individuals collectively contributed to one of mankind's greatest engineering achievements. Renowned artist Santiago Ortega masterfully engraved this scene, capturing both the physicality of labor and its historical significance. As we admire this print today, let us acknowledge the countless anonymous workers whose efforts continue to impact our lives through improved connectivity and transport networks worldwide.
