EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the grand opening of the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway in 1850, as it passes by the historic Priory Church of St Mary and St Bega in St Bees, Cumbria, England. The Priory Church, founded in the 12th century, stands proudly against the backdrop of the rugged coastline, its Norman architecture a testament to the rich history of the region. The village of St Bees, then part of Cumberland, is nestled in the foreground, with the churchyard and its grave markers adding a sense of tranquility and contemplation to the scene. The railway, a symbol of the Victorian era's industrial progress, is shown in all its glory, with steam billowing from the locomotive as it makes its way through the landscape. The print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, captures the excitement and wonder of this new mode of transportation, as it connects the community to the wider world. Despite the contrast between the ancient and the modern, there is a sense of harmony in this image. The church, a place of worship and reflection, stands steadfast amidst the changing world, while the railway, a symbol of progress and connection, passes by respectfully. This print offers a glimpse into the past, a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape our world today.
