The Queen's Train Leaving Boulogne - A Majestic Departure
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, captures a momentous event in European history. The scene depicts the departure of the Queen's train from Boulogne, France, showcasing the grandeur and elegance associated with royalty. The image transports us back to March 18,1899 when this historic event took place. Published as an illustration for The Graphic magazine, it offers a glimpse into a bygone era filled with opulent trains and regal splendor. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection now housed within Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, we are reminded of the significance of railways in connecting nations and facilitating diplomatic relations. Intriguingly framed against the backdrop of Boulogne's picturesque landscape, this artwork not only celebrates French culture but also symbolizes unity within Europe. It serves as a testament to the enduring power and influence of royalty across borders. While we cannot help but wonder about who may have been aboard that illustrious train – whether it was His Royal Highness or Her Royal Highness – one thing is certain: this engraving immortalizes an extraordinary moment in time. Its presence reminds us of our shared history and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since then. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate its beauty while acknowledging its historical importance.
