EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically between 1900 and 1915, capturing the essence of Gare St Lazare in France. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Charles Heyman, who skillfully portrays a scene from a bustling railway station during that era. The image showcases an old-fashioned locomotive stationed outside the grand building of Gare St Lazare. This photogravure print was featured in F L Leipnik's publication titled "A History of French Etching from the 16th Century to the Present Day" published by John Lane the Bodley Head Limited in London in 1924. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when steam engines dominated transportation. The stationary steam engine stands proudly on its tracks while billows of smoke fill the air, symbolizing both progress and pollution simultaneously. Heyman's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also how it reflects on our present-day understanding of transport systems. This monochrome masterpiece captures a moment that represents an important chapter in French history - one where railways played a vital role in connecting people across different parts of the country. Through this evocative print, Heyman invites us to step into his world and experience firsthand what life was like at Gare St Lazare during those transformative years.
