EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the opening of the South-Eastern Railway to Canterbury in the 19th century. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with excitement and anticipation as dignitaries gather to celebrate this monumental event. The focus of the print is on Canterbury Station, where a grand dinner is being held to commemorate this significant milestone in transportation history. The station's impressive architecture stands tall, reflecting the progress and prosperity that rail travel brought to this charming city in Kent. Surrounding the station, we catch glimpses of vibrant street scenes, showcasing everyday life during this era. The lively atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of locals who have gathered to witness and be part of this historic occasion. Notably, we see an exquisite view of St Dunstan's Street leading up to Canterbury Station, adorned with picturesque buildings that add character and charm to the overall composition. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on February 14th, 1846 - a testament to its significance at that time. It now resides within a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its rich historical context and artistic beauty.
