Trains

Trains were among the first subjects that commercial artists were paid to make beautiful. Railways needed passengers, and by the late 19th century they were commissioning serious illustrators to sell the romance of travel rather than just the timetable. The result was a century of work that treated speed, landscape, and engineering as worthy of genuine artistic ambition. The pieces shown here are period originals from that tradition.
