EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Monsters That Thunder Across the Continents. Racing Time" takes us back to a thrilling era of science, rivalry, and innovation. Captured by an English School artist in the 20th century, this color lithograph showcases two rival American trains competing fiercely for dominance over through traffic. Intriguingly depicted against a backdrop of speed and motion, these steam locomotives symbolize not only technological progress but also the spirit of competition that drove them forward. The drivers behind these monstrous machines pushed their engines to their limits in a race against time. As we delve into this artwork's historical context, we learn that it was originally created as an illustration for Popular Science magazine edited by Arthur Mee in 1913. It serves as a testament to America's fascination with rail transport during that period. This image transports us across continents - from Corsica to Europe and France to North America - highlighting how railways connected distant lands and cultures. It reminds us of the power of transportation in shaping societies and economies on both sides of the Atlantic. With its vibrant colors and dynamic composition, this print captures not just the essence of racing but also represents a clash between nations vying for supremacy on tracks that spanned vast distances. "The Monsters That Thunder Across the Continents" is more than just a visual spectacle; it encapsulates an era when steam locomotives reigned supreme as symbols of progress, speed, and national pride.
