EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of train travel in the 1880s. The image captures a serene moment on a journey from Paris to Calais by night, showcasing the beauty and elegance of this mode of transportation during that time. In this French train carriage, we witness a heartwarming scene as sleeping children snuggle up to each other and their mother. Their peaceful expressions reflect the comfort and security they find amidst the rhythmic motion of the train. Drawn by renowned artist Thomas Crane, known for his exceptional attention to detail, every element in this artwork exudes authenticity. Crane's expertise as an Art Director shines through in this piece, which was created for Marcus Ward & Co. His collaboration with cousin Ellen Houghton adds another layer of artistic brilliance to this work. Together, they have beautifully captured not only a moment frozen in time but also an entire social history surrounding train travel during late 19th century France. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported into an age where trains were more than just means of transportation; they represented adventure, exploration, and connection between distant places. This evocative image invites us to imagine ourselves aboard that very carriage – experiencing firsthand the excitement and wonderment that accompanied such journeys across Europe.
